takes attendance; gives exam questions in advance; interesting lectures

The International Man of Mystery/Economics

HE IS THE GREATEST PROFESSOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

One of the greatest teacher I have ever had. Very interesting, gives lecture for full class. No homework, don't even need the book. The tests are 100% from the questions he gives you in begining of the semester. Just study the notes HARD and easy A+!

Just study the questions and the class is a breeze. If your extra stupid go to Irwin the tutor. He grades the tests easy and there is a huge curve.

His lectures are very interesting. I learned a lot from him which I applied it in my real life. The exams are difficult because it requires a lot of study and to get a good grade is better to go with the tutor (Naylor). The reason why students don’t pass the class is because they don’t try hard.

great teacher, knows his stuff. gives you the questions that will be asked on the tests. people get offended by his bluntness, but if you're not a complete pansy, you will find it amusing. easy if you just make sure you do the questions and pay attention in class.

take over barr!!! i got in an A in his class, and all my friends who took Barr got Cs... Naylor may be a bit boring but his class is manageable. He gives midterm questions ahead of time.

Naylor is an awesome teacher. He doesn't bs like most teachers. He is very straightforward and lets you know what he expects. He also gives the questions for the exams at the beginning of the semester. He's sexy for an older guy!!!!!

My favorite professor I have ever had! Naylor graduated from Stanford, he gives the questions for the essay exams ahead of time (what could be easier?), he knows his sh!t, lectures are non-stop yet informatively brilliant, I have taken BUS 101 & 102,

No Comments

he is a very fair, easy going teacher who says what he thinks and means what he says. the essay qs are given before the exam, so if you actually READ THE TEXT his class is managable. waaaaaaaayyyy better than barr.

Subject is extremely hard to follow and you can get lost in his lectures. He has a tutor that is available to meet with and she grades tests. Go to all tutor sessions(!) or your chance of getting an A drops. He drops your grade if you dont attend class so make sure to have someone sign you in if you are not going to be attending class that day.

I took both 101 & 102 with Mr Naylor. I really learned a lot in both of his classes. He keeps your attention, and is fairly lenient, but is definitely no pushover. Come to class on time and prepare your essays ahead of time, and you'll be fine.

i dont really know what to say about naylor.He can sometimes be VERY confusing and sometimes i am on the verge of falling asleep in class.He sometimes will make fun of you during class.His test questions are pretty hard and some of the answers arent even in the book! also,the quizzes are horrible!i studied all night & still got a D on them

mr. Naylor is chill. his assignments and homework are reasonable and tests are laid out in front of you before you take them, there is no supprises. he explains things well, i will be taking more of his classes.

The lectures are great, very clear and interesting. The tests are difficult, all essays!

Hes a cool guy. Hes a straight up east coast guy, and he handles business like one. If you complain about him, you should switch your major, because he reflects the business world like it is. A able if you study.

Naylor is a good guy

Best teacher i've ever had. you get the exam questions in the start of the semester, so youre just really stupid if you fail. If you don't like his style, change your major to ethical studies or something!

If you want an easy ride, this teacher is not for you. But if you want to learn about business or economics then Professor Naylor is your man! Classes are full to the point of bursting with info and he hits you with it fast. He's funny and interesting and will keep your awake through the whole semester. Smart guy!

Mr. Naylor is amazing. It is clear what he expects and gives you all the test questions at the beginning of the semester. Like someone said, if you fail, you're stupid. He's extremely intelligent and never goes off on irrelevent topics. If you don't like his teaching style, you certainly don't belong in a business or economics field. Great class.

He has changed since I took a class with him a year ago. He cares about students but because he is shy he is seen as arrogant. Best lecturer on campus. Watch his change continue...

Professor Naylor is a very intelligent man and can be of great use if you get on his good side. Definitely attend class and definitely do not bug him with pointless questions during office hours. Read, pay attention, and learn. He can be intimidating at times, but if you see through it, he is a very good person. Just ignore his uncalled for politic

First, Naylor is a an argonant SOB... but, he is one of the most knowledgeable business professors you can find. Make sure you participate in class and go to the tudoring sessions. I would not want to learn business from anyone but him. If you're serious about business take this class, pay attention and take notes. You won't regret it!

I think people mistake Naylors stories as being arrogant. He used to work with some very interesting people in the business world, and hes one hell of a smart guy. The thing with the class is that if you arent interested he doesnt want you in there...and you have to attend class. Tests are easy if you take the time to remember all the material!

If you want to be an economics whiz, take Naylor. Very in your face, calls your bs, lot of material, lot of preparation (felt like a 4-5 unit course) but you'll come out feeling like an economic bank of knowledge once you're done.

arrogant, tells lots of stories, has more friends than there are people in the world, but an excellent professor. You will know your econ when you're done taking him.

Naylor was awsome, I think he is the only professor at SBCC that isn't a Liberal Democrate. He tells you how economics and business really works, it sometimes isn't what the liberal hippies in the class want to hear, but its the truth. You will learn alot from this class especially if you want to be successful and live a good life.

This is not an easy class however his tests and quizzes are fair. You study and put in the time you will do well. Attendance is also worth as much as all your quizzes so it's vital that you show up. His stories seem to involve every country in the world and somehow he advised their leaders on what to do with their economy. Enjoy the peach story...

Naylor is one of the most intellectual and passionate professors at sbcc. Econ 101 is not for the weak, he shows you how it works from a conceptual and practical perspective. Highly Recommended for those with an interest in Econ and wish to avoid the random theories and jargin. True economics at its best! Thanks Naylor!!

International Business isn't for the weak minded and thin skinned. If you can't handle this class, how can you handle the real deal? His lack political correctness did not inhibit my learning experience it expanded it cause he's so in your face that you have to squirm and take some self reflection about why.His experience is invaluable.Best Prof!

Guy flips if you leave class early, will call you out in front of all 100 people. A bit abrasive and doesn't seem to care what people think. Will belittle your lack of knowledge, but the guy knows what he is talking about. It won't be easy though.

Pretty hard class. Expected to know a lot of what is going on. Singles a lot of people out.

best teacher at sbcc by far. the guy knows his stuff and will make sure you know it too. he looks at the big picture and isnt afraid to criticize anyone. he doesnt beat around the bush and could care less for the status quo if it doesnt work. he really makes you think about the real world its not just theory. hes the reaason im an econ major

Respectful and clear, very experienced in real life and very aware about his topics. Direct and tells you like it is.

best teacher ever.....hands down. peter gets you ready for the business world

Naylor is a great teacher who knows what he is talking about and many students should take advantage of that. He does pick on students but he does that to make sure that your understanding the material. He isn't an easy teacher but if you take the time to do the reading and take good notes during class you will pass that class

Mr. Naylor is the best professor I have ever had. I highly recommend ECON 101 and 102.

He is so nice, although the lectures are hard. If you go to his office hours, you will get a lot of help.

Naylor is by far the best professor I have ever had. He has experience outside of academia so he knows what hes talking about(no bs). Teaches the material in a way which makes you think. Couldn't ask for a better way to learn economics. Highly recommend

Naylor is very knowledgeable of his subject and I would recommand him to anyone who wants to learn something. He does talk about his life, but it is alway relevant for the subject. About the grading, one does simply not just get an A, you need to deserve it. Which I think is good, because if you make it, you will be feeling very good about it.

Professor Naylor is a no BS, on-top-of-it, teacher. He's pretty abrasive if you're late or slack off, but if you're willing to put in the work, he's well worth the time. Study well, listen to what he tells you, and you'll do fine.

Mr. Naylor is by far the most knowledgable, most inspiring teacher I've ever had. He truly wants his students to succeed and explains the material in a way that students can relate to. He was offered a job at Stanford and has real world experience in over 60 (i think) countries as an economist. He does require that you show him effort though.

Great Professor! Naylor is awesome! He knows what's he's talking about and is clear and very knowledgable! He tells life learning stories about the subject he's talking about and refers it back to economics! I highly recommend him! He's the best teacher I've ever had! Intelligent wise and so much better than Barr

Great professor! Often times engages in rants, but they are entertaining and always relate to the topic.

Best teacher I have had so far. He is the real deal. Incredibly intelligent and passionate on the subject. He actually holds you accountable which makes you a better student.

Only take his classes if you want to succeed in life.

These classes require your full attention and effort but pay off more than any other classes you will ever take. Professor Naylor influenced me to change my major to Econ and I am at UCSB now and got an A in Econ 10A and 100B because Naylor helped me understand everything inside and out before transferring. He's simply the best teacher Ive ever had

Best class and teacher by far! Take this with PETER NAYLOR if you want to learn. Huge amount of knowledge, you get a deep insight in the stock market, evaluating a company, economics and much more. A devoted teacher that wants you to learn. If you don't want to learn or put in an effort you should waste your time somewhere else though!!

Naylor will challenge you to critcally assess everything in Macroeconomics. He is very demanding, when he tests you on the subject(essay tests). This class is not for the people seeking an easy-A, Barr isn't much easier but Naylor provides you with a clear understanding of Econ by the time you're done.

Tough grader! Very enthusiastic, and very interesting classes, if you do the work you will get the grade you desire! Best Econ teacher at SBCC

Best Economics teacher at SBCC. He's super interesting, very knowledgable and has a ton of experience in real world economics that he shares with you. He goes beyond the classroom. He is definitely a hard grader and it's not an easy class but it's not supposed to be, if you're competent and you put in the work then you will have a great experience.

He knows a lot about economics but from my experience he tends to snap at students who answer the questions wrong and then wonders why no one wants to speak up. He's also pretty narrow minded but if you read the book and pay attention you should be fine.

Peter Naylor is a great teacher! If you actually want to learn something his classes will be the ones you should take. I took International business and International Economics, and got A in both classes. Make sure though you do your best, be on time, do the homework and behave properly!

Possibly one of the best classes I've taken at CC. Mr. Naylor is a no-nonsense kind of guy who demands a lot out of his students. His use of personal examples helps relate real world examples to the material. The test are challenging but as long as you pay attention in class and do the reading you should be ok. Answer the packet questions early.

A GREAT course if you want to succeed in business. It requires effort but easily the course were you learn the most. Clear syllabus. Professional and structured teacher and requires the same from the students. He acknowledges students as adults instead of children as many other teachers. The grade symbolizes what you learn. HIGHLY recommended.

Sir Naylor is really a good and knowledgable teacher. It is kinda easy to get A since he gave questions for midterm and final. Taking notes will help you to answer these question. Consider this class as a combination of econ and politics. Have to read the material. Please dont be a tough grader, we're just 20yo without any experience. we study hard

Sir Peter Naylor is a good professor. He really knowledgable. He always share his experience and today's economic political situation. He gave question for mid and final, but that doesnt mean easy. I hope in the future he give extra credit to student with borderline score or at least a lil bit roundof 84.5 to 85. Which is B- to B. It seems fair.

this professor is awesome, he is one of the most intelligent person i have ever met. he is a very hard grader but if you really want to learn something take his class and you will. i am very happy i took his class it was very stressful but worth it.

I've had Prof. Naylor for Micro & Macro economics, Int'l Econ and Managerial Finance at SBCC. By far the best professor in terms of preparing you for life after SBCC. I've recently transferred and now studying Bus Admin and I could not thank him more. Learned all the important economic concepts in his courses. Go to class, listen and participate.

He is the best teacher as SBCC ! He fully prepares his students for is exams, future business courses, and life ! Attend every class and stay engaged and a A is manageable !

Yes, the tests are tough and good grades are hard to achieve, but Naylor uses experience from his own career to give great insight into the subject. You actually learn a lot!

Professor Naylor is a brilliant professor that is overqualified to teach at a city college. He demands a lot from his students and is very passionate about his work, so don't take his class if you aren't interested in the topic. NOT a good professor for sensitive people or those looking for an easy ride.

Peter Naylor is a competent professor who expects high level work out of his students. Do not take his class if you are looking for an easy A or a teacher who avoids conflict. Naylor has over 40 years of applied business experience, and after taking two classes with him I wouldn't recommend a finance or econ course taught by anyone else at SBCC.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. I felt like I learned more in a semester with him then I did all of high school. He's tough, but it's worth it. He is an extremely intelligient man.

he was a great professor

He's a good and fair teacher. He tells you from day one what will be on all the exams , there's no reason not to get a good grade. He's a really experienced person, he went to Stanford, was in the military, did research on international oil markets for the Brookings Institute. He has some opinions but always allows people to disagree.

Even though some people say that Mr. Naylor is not a good Professor I believe the opposite. The negative comments are from students who didn't receive a good grade because clearly they didn't study. He is clear from the beginning. If you study you do well in class. You don't need to buy a book, he gives you one online. He is an amazing professor.

Don't take this course if you don't plan on putting in effort. If you try and actually think about the material you will do well, if you mindlessly come to lecture and don't read the book you wont. Just put in the time. Mr. Naylor wants his students to succeed and is well-versed in many subjects so lectures are interesting if you engage.

Mr. Naylor is by far the best professor i have had throughout my academic career. He is more than qualified, and truly gives you all the tools necessary to succeed. Those who are commenting negatively simply did not want to work for a good grade, they'd rather have it handed to them by a teacher who doesn't give a crap whether you learn or not.

Profesor Naylor was great! He saves all his students money by providing his own for us to download. His lectures were interesting and clear. The amount of effort you put into his class will reflect on your grade. Show up to every class!

Prof. Naylor has so much experience and knowledge from his career that he wants to share with his students. I'm an international student and I felt treated with respect and dignity. If you read the assigned chapters ( 10 pages per week), answer the associated questions ( 5), and review these questions before the tests, you'll do well!

I took classes from Peter Naylor in the late 1980's and early 1990's in investing. I became inspired to learn more though I had very little money to invest at the time. It became a fun and interesting hobby. Now, as retirement approaches, I see where the things I learned from him, in both investing and in life, have helped considerably.

One of my favorite classes of all time. This guy will inspire you to the world of business, international travel, and ignite your curiosity! He may close the door on you in office hours, or deny you on Linked-In, but I respect the hell out of him,. TOUGH GRADER, its very possible you may not get what you feel you earned. If concerned about GPA.

Really disappointed to see so many low ratings for professor Naylor. I do not necessarily agree with all of his views, but I at the very least appreciate his standpoint and reasoning. He's smart but conservative, which can be grating to more sheltered kids. If you can get past any conflict of opinion or personality he's a fantastic teacher. :)

In my opinion, Mr. Naylor is an inspirational teacher, who really knows what he is taking about. He has a lot of experience in the area of business, and he gives some very useable advice of how to become succesful when doing business. He has a good sense of humor, however, I can easily assume that not everybody likes his use of irony.

Naylor is a great professor who interacts with the class and has an energy that makes learning and the class enjoyable.

Doesn't make you buy a textbook but buy the notes, $10. Take good notes in class, especially about the examples he gives for each topic. His stories may seem pointless but they all tie together and make everything more understandable. Quizzes are very easy and he gives you all the exam questions from day 1. Most of the answers are handed to you.

Naylor is a good teacher with excellent knowledge. He has tons of experience and really knows what he's teaching. Participation is worth 10% of you're grade so you can miss the occasional as long as you email him. All in all great teacher, really got me interested in Econ leaving me wanting to learn more. Do recommend if you like to learn

Naylor is a fantastic professor! He taught with more of a philosophical-social approach rather than mathematical. He is straightforward with his exams and provides fantastic examples in his lectures, making the material easy to understand. You don't need to buy a textbook for this class. Be respectful, don't get on his bad side, and you'll be fine.

It's been over a year since I had a class with Naylor, but I still remember everything from his class crystal clear. He has left such an impact on my education, and sincerely wants you to leave the class with a head full of retained information. I have to credit a lot of my success in other classes to what I learned from Naylor. Thank you always!

Professor Naylor made economics fascinating. He focused on concepts rather than formulas and brought real life experience, examples and local business people into his lectures. I even went back and visited him occasionally over the years to see how he was developing the business Dept. He was a SBCC treasure and I'll be forever grateful!
