Nice New Zealandish accent. Explained things very well, and has a great notes system. You HAVE to pay attention because he calls on random people in the class.

Ive learned that I suck at economics but Professor Morgan was phenominal. Great lectures and very funny. I enjoyed him very very much. If you like economics hes the goto man.

Not a bad guy, he taught very well. I didn't like how he presented a rather unfair and biased view of free trade.

Morgan is the man. He has a really cool accent, and he teaches very clearly. His notes are very helpful, and I like how he picks on random people during class. It's always entertaining.

This is a GREAT teacher...and his notes make the class the more easier/better... but because he fills out the notes as we go along...you need to go to class =D

Not the teacher to take if you have no clue about Economics and don't want to work hard to understand what is going on. Morgan is a funny guy though. But watch it... he WILL call on you! My TA was hard to understand

Nicest/Best professor I've had yet. His note taking system is outstanding. Go to class and put in a decent effort and you'll easily walk out with a B+

excellent note taking system, He teaches economics very clearly and organized. I look forward to his classes.

Good teacher. As long as you do the problem sets that go along with the lectures, you will do fine. His tests usually have like four hard questions, but if you get all of the other one's it is pretty easy. And there is also a very nice curve.

Great teacher. Different but awesome way of teaching you the class. You actually learn

Extremely intimidating method of teaching. He walks around the room and picks on innocent victims. He is a good teacher though (I just didnt try) and I would recommend doing the problem sets before quizzes and exams. His curve is really good too. I suck at eco, didnt pass any test/quiz and still managed to get a C- which was shocking!

morgan is the best professor. I honestly went to class all together maybe 10 or 15 times and I came in second out of 400 people. It's a tough course and his tests are def not east, but the study guides really help

Decent teacher, but teaches the class with some bias. If you spend a little time learning how to do the problems and have common sense you'll have no problem

morgan was such a nice guy. his notes are powerpoint presentations, which he put online for you to print and bring to class. SO convenient. explained stuff well. recitation is optional- i never went because my TA couldn't speak english. 4 in class quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final. not bad, but hard course nonetheless.

Such a sweet teacher. Clear and concise. Teaches real world topics and connects all the chapters to actual world problems we face or will face at some point. His only "bias" is that he tends to favor intelligence over stupidity. No book. He gives you notes to print out and there is a problem packet you can buy to study with. Recitation optional.

babbled on stuff no one cares about and is not on the tests. some lectures would be based entirely on real world economic problems, which i dont think the average freshman really cares about. you dont really need to go to lecture. problem sets are all you need. he was a good prof who challenged his students. no **** with this guy.

The class was tough if you didnt know the applications of it to the real world. It was important to go to every lecture since you dont use a book, but he is good enough to have created his own note set available for purchase at the bookstore.

Good teacher. Doesnt put you to sleep. You can buy all of his notes for the semester and you dont need the book. Neither class nor recitation are mandatory. Very helpful professor and TA's. Tests can be confusing but he drops your lowest.

Prof. Morgan is an extremely knowlegable. He is an excellent teacher and he does the class a great service with providing his own lecture notes. Do not buy the textbook I strongly reccommend going to class but you need to study everyday if you intend to do so, he has an intimidating method of patroling around the room. TAKE FARFARAS he is the best

Morgan is probably one of the best professors as far as his ability and conduct. However, as great as he is, the class itself is the real challenge. He explains everything perfectly, but the material is harder than simply listening to him talk and wrtiting notes. Out of all the professors, you want Morgan if you have to take the class.

Don't buy the textbook, just buy his lecture notes. Class is hard, moreso based on the subject, not the professor. Very nice and willing to help. Recitation optional, I NEVER went to recitation. It's easy to get behind, it's in your best interest to go to lecture, but attendance is optional. Can/will relate to students. 3 MC exams, 4 quizzes.

I loved him. He is probably the best economics teacher that I have ever had. If you do your work and study, than getting an A is not difficult at all.

Awesome and funny!

didn't mean the last post to be derogatory. i am sorry if thats the way it came off. i was merely referring to his dry wit and new Zealand accent. aside with a few prob with the lecture notes and his bias on certain issues (monopolism, government assistance) mr. morgan is a worthwhile teacher to have and i would recommend him.

Morgan was funny, concise and clear. Recommend him highly only if you get Farfaras as TA, together and followed closely, these 2 will gurantee you an A. Attendance non mandatory but he makes up for that with tricky exams. Textbook not necessary but problem sets are the order of the day. Exams all multiple guess, no curve but an A starts from a 75.

Morgan is a decent prof. who is very helpful. You can go to his office hours and he is very glad to help. His tests and quizs can be hard, but you need a 75 for an A. You have3 quiz's and 3 midterms. He also likes to trick people on them too. As for his accent, he had one, but you can still understand what he says.

Great economics professor. Tries to explain everything in a way you would understand. If you come to class it is an east B, if you try too it is an easy A. Only buy the lecture notes, Dont buy the Book.

I liked Professor Morgan. He was very intelligent and interested in his work. The lecture notes were great... hope you like cookies and cakes! It's a rather easy topic, but you have to pay attention to detail. His grading scheme was rather interesting. 75% for an A, but I wasn't complaining about that.

I took ECON 401 (intermediate micro) from Prof. Morgan at U-M. He is an excellent teacher who gives good, interesting lectures and doesn't put up with any bull. Class is not easy but exams and grading are fair. Make sure you study the math; his lectures focus more on the concepts (a style of teaching I prefer) than the algebra.

he knows his economics very well. the material isn't that hard it is just the wording and understanding his logic that may get hard. if you pay attention and understand the material, you can pass this course. 75+ is an A

Lecture/recitation optional. Don't buy the textbook, just but his lecture notes. DO NOT panic if you fail the first two quizzes, and don't listen to his emails telling you that if you failed the first 2 quizzes you will likely fail the test. I bombed the first 2 quizzes and now I have an A-. 75% is an A, and exams are tough but straight forward

very smart. LOVES microeconomics. but his class is based for the most part on three exams (including the final) which are very difficult. do not be confused by the 75%+ A ;this is NOT an easy A. Most people get a C in this class and many fail. His lectures are comprehendable but exams are much more complex.

Awesome professor, Take him!! Very clear in his explanations and will make you love micro economics

great teacher makes economics interesting to learn about. the tests are hard but if you study a decent amount an A shouldn't be too hard. pretty much need to go to class since his textbook has to be filled in as you go. also, no homework! definitely recommended.

Just amazing.

Great guy but not the best teacher, has a very soft voice and a canadian accent. Do not take this class for an easy grade, it was not easy at all. 72-100 was an A, but i never came close to it, plus no curve. Tests were hard period.

ECO182A: Extremely helpful, very gentle. Can be funny, has a nice sense of teaching. Though it is a tough class, if you pay attention and be regular, It is easily possible to get a B grade. It's a class based more on understanding, ad if you are looking for an easy A, better not take him.

Good teacher, very quiet. Interesting way to make you take notes. Tests are rather hard in his class. you can get 30% and pass the class

His lectures are easy to understand but when it comes to the test the questions are tricky and hard. Getting an A seems easy because it is 75-100 but it's really not. Cannot figure out his accent..

This is a fairly difficult course but it is not hard to get an A on each test. As long as you start studying 3-4 days prior to the test you should be fine. If you do the problem sets he provides to study for the test and make sure you understand each problem you will have no difficulty getting an A. Preparedness is key.

He is a very very smart man and is sometimes hard to understand. But overall, I think he is a good teacher. The class is very tough but also fair. He gives very difficult tests but the scale for an A is 75-100.

He has his own Lecture Note and Question sets which are extremely helpful. If you study the question sets, you should be fine even though it is not mandatory. You can get an A if you got 75 or higher which mean 19 questions out of 25 correct. You should do fine if you study. TAs are not helpful, and no need to buy textbook.

Hw and text bk are not required but his own notes and problem sets. You can skip his lectures as long as you find a friend to complete the notes and study for it and finish problem sets before exams you will do fine. 75+ is an A which is impossible if you pay attention.

A great professor, I have retained nearly all of the topics from the semester. He is good like that if you try hard enough you really learn it, but its a ton of work and requires full cooperation to get an but its doable, only need an 80 for an A

Well he knows his stuff but his TAs were all bad... I got an A for this course so I think anyone could get an A if they just understand the material.

Prof. Morgan is a wonderful teacher, but his tests are tough & he expects you to work for an A. Do the homework, go to the lectures, study, and you'll do fine.

Even though the class seems boring sometimes, but if you want to get an A please try your best to follow. The grade is base on 3 Exams and small portion on the quizzes. The key point I think is to 1. go through the notes 2. make sure you understand every question on the practices question on each chapter, if you dont, go to TAs or Professor

Morgan is pretty great. His lectures are clear to understand and although his notes are long they are helpful. Definitely do the problem sets!!!!! He is always ready to help, if needed. Exams are kinda hard. Quizzes are okay.

Professor Morgan is great. While his quizzes and exams are hard, his lectures make them seem somewhat bearable. Do the practice problems that go with each lecture note set, because they really help you understand the material. I didn't go to any of his recitations, because I couldn't understand the TA's with their thick accents. 75% and above A!

Morgan is a great teacher. His lectures are very clear and straightforward, as are the exams. Exam material is no harder than the material covered in class. If you have a decent foundation in calculus and are willing to do the homework, you can get an A. Outside of class, he's an all around nice guy who respects his students.

Dr. Morgan is a kind and patient man. His work is hard but he'll definitely help you if you need the help. The class isn't easy though, you have to work for a good grade. He stresses the importance of understanding the material rather than just memorizing it. Overall, he's a great professor.

Dr. Morgan may come off as easy going, but he can literally ruin your GPA with his tests. As long as you go to recitation and attend office hours you should be fine. Also, make sure you don't skip class because he doesn't post lecture slides online. Outside of the classroom he's a really nice guy and very patient with whatever questions you have :)

The only people who didn't like Pr. Morgan were people who didn't study fors tests, he makes you work for a high letter grade, but it's because he is one of the few teachers at UB who really cares if his students learn. His lectures are pretty funny, sometimes a little awkward but he made a boring topic pretty interesting. Best teacher I've had yet

Good professor. He made his own textbook which is an easy read compared to traditional textbooks. If you put in the effort and do all the example problems he provides you should do well in the class. The lectures are not mandatory however they do help. All the lecture notes are put online.

He is probably the best economics teacher to take. He carefully explains all the slides from his own well done powerpoint. As long as you read the slides and do sample problems, you will do really well in his class. There is no curve on tests but any grade above a 75 is an A- or A.

Maths for Economists from Dr Morgan. A) He does not use text books. Only notes B) You will prove amazing things like Fixed Point Theorems and Nash Equilibrium C) He taught lattice theory which I really enjoyed D) His basic introduction to real analysis was useful E) He likes microeconomics. He thought macro people were nuts. F) Always available

He's now retired from teaching and it's a real loss for the Econ students at Buffalo. His class was hard but that's only because he truly cared about students. He had a real ability to make you think harder/
