Nice guy, but super hard tests

Incredible econ mind!

his class isn't easy- you really need to study but he is an amazing teacher- you never even need to crack open the book because his lectures are so in depth- he knows exactly what he is talking about and is willing to help anyone that needs help

Bennet is an extremely strange guy, but the man is brilliant. He gives entire lectures without once looking at his notes. His tests come directly from your notes, but are very difficult. If you know your notes very well you will do very well on the test. If you want to learn economics, you should take him because you learn a lot.

I had him for both Micro and Macro and I enjoy his craziness. Most people think he is weird though. His quizzes are kind of hard but I think it is worth it to take this class. There are easier professors but this experience is great.

Never a wasted moment of classtime. Take thorough notes (very do-able, everything on the board), don't need to read text. The exams are difficult, but fair. (Most confusing is the mc. Few per exam, but each are 4pts, & obviously, no room for partial credit). Last exam = a lot of courtcase material memorize. An A grade is possible.

The clearest and most organized professor at Gonzaga. You will learn everything at lightspeed, have it all in your notes, and waste none of your time. Do not miss class or you will be really lost. His tests are rather hard, as he requires you to put thought into the material you learn, and connect several concepts, instead of just regurgitating.

I Agree, this guy can teach this stuff so it makes sense, but there are usually some confusing questions on the quizes. I definitely had to study for quizes, and sometimes students' questions confused him, but aside from that, great class.

Bennet is a really FAST teacher, it was hard but not impossible to keep up with his notes which often are hard to find or nonexistant in the book. However, he is very approachable and will help you understand any material you don't understand. DON'T MISS CLASS but if you do make sure that you get all the NOTES and STUDY them.

If you are one to not go to class, don't even bother taking this course. Near impossible to do well on the quizzes without coming to class. If you are willing to work really hard then it will be fruitful, it is definitely not a casual course. He is very talented though, if you really want to learn economics.

This guy kicks as*. Fo shizzle my Nizzle!!

You know in the movies, where the college students are writing so furiously the whole class period that by the end they are sweating and their hand is cramped? That is this guy's class. However, I have never once opened the book and I am doing fine, and he explains the material clearly. No homework. Guy is a little nutty, but that's alright.

You have to go to classes in order for you get at least C.

This guy really knows his****. You dont even need the book although it might help. He gives a lot of quizes but it keeps you on top of what you need to know. Like any Economics class, the tests are really hard.

Bennet is probably a genius. He explains everything so thoroughly and without lecture notes most of the time really. Never any homework, but the tests and quizzes are tough. He really expects you to understand concepts and not just know how and when to crunch the numbers. It's a hard class, so don't go here looking for an easy A or B.

Took both micro and macro with this guy. Great lecturer, but really geared toward the auditory learner. If you can learn easily in lectures you won't find a better class for you. Gives practice problems very similar to quizzes. No homework needed except studying and reading if you don't learn well from lectures.

Randall Bennett is the man. He explains things very quickly and thoroughly but if you keep up with his notes and attend class you'll be fine. And if your interested in Econ this guy is a genius.

Bennett is awesome. The only way you're going to do poorly in his class is if you're not that intelligent and then you shouldn't be in college anyway. Go to class, study, and you'll be fine. He is a GREAT teacher.

Very thorough teacher, his lectures clearly explain what you need to know, and his bug eyes and voice inflections crack me up. However, the quizzes are pretty tough because he expects you to know how to synthesize all of the information he taught, literally ANYTHING from a certain unit could appear on a test. IMO you gotta work HARD to earn an A.

Dr. Bennett is THEEEE man. He is hilarious (just the way he acts and talks) and is extremely helpful - all you have to do is ask. He is difficult, but if you go to his office hours, he tell you everything you need to know. Plus, he's wayyy laid back. Hard teacher. BUT AWESOME. I definitely recommend him!

Dr. Bennett's class is pretty tough, but in a good way. You can tell he really loves Economics. His lectures are very thorough, so listen closely in class, take good notes, study the practice problems he provides, and you'll do well in the class. The online textbook, though, is utterly useless. If you're interested in Econ, you should take him!

He's a great teacher! He does not take attendance, but you will miss out on a lot of notes if you skip. The textbook's not necessary, I only read a few chapters. There is no homework, however he will give you practice problems prior to a quiz. Not an easy class, but definitely a worthwhile class. Midterm: 100 pts, quizzes: 150 pts, final: 150 pts.

Randy Bennett is awesome. He is so clear you do NOT need to buy the textbook. I thought the class was pretty easy, but I understand why some people thought it was difficult. The key is attendance. If you LISTEN to lecture and take notes you should ace the quizes. Highly Recommended.

Will write everything he says in class on the board. Goes over it all in detail multiple times if it is important. No study guide but go to class (takes attendance every day) and you should know what is important and what will be on the test. He teaches right out of the book so you dont need to buy it but it can help if you miss class

Go to every class, take notes, and actually study and you will be fine. Bennett is always willing to help so use his office hours!! I had him for both economics because he is so straight forward and cares about people understanding the material. Don't need the book but it might help conceptually.

Professor Bennet, Explain material well in class. No homework. Whole grade is based on quizzes and tests so you better know your stuff and focus in class. Gives practice quizzes before every quiz and it is a necessity to take good notes while understanding them. He also drops your lowest quiz grade which is hype.

Bennett just lectures the whole time but the lectures are VERY clear and he explains every concept very well. You will need to study his study guides very closely, because his quizzes are very tricky. No homework or outside reading from a textbook so the work load is light. Entire grade is based off of test and quizzes. Overall great professor.

Professor Bennett is so incredibly nice and one of my favorite professor here at Gonzaga. He lectures the entire class and goes through many examples in detail. You don't need to buy the text book, just look at his notes and you're fine. His class is hard so don't skip even though he doesn't take attendance. Study the problem sets and notes well.

Professor Bennett is one of the most intelligent professors at Gonzaga. Classes are lecture-based and very detailed. Everything you need is integrated into the lectures, so pay close attention. Study old quizzes, problem sets, and notes well. You must fully grasp the concepts and be able to think outside the box in order to do well in the class.

I took "Antitrust Policy & Regulation" with Dr. Bennett and had a good experience. Bennett made the course interesting and presented concepts in a pretty clear manner. The class is very test-heavy and those tests are particularly difficult. Good professor, but does not offer a walk-in-the-park.

Don't listen to all these naysayers. Randall Bennett is the best professor that Gonzaga has to offer and it's not even close. The economist won't care about you at all, but that's exactly why he's so great. He won't waste your time at all and gets straight to business. I would 100% take him.

Look, Dr. Bennett is an excellent teacher. He lays out the material in a way that is perfectly clear and logical. Thing is, in his class you're gonna need to take a B like it's an A. He hands out study guides for quizzes and exams but they're still very hard to ace.

I would recommend taking Bennet for Econ202. He covers the material clearly in class. The quizzes are based on the notes in class, so if you go to class you should be good! There are 6 quizzes overall, but he drops the lowest one which is nice. Other professors have made econ confusing, but he explains it clearly.

6 quizzes and a midterm and final and that's how he grades. Super hard class but he is a good professor and lectures all class.

Only grades quizzes, midterm, and final. Attend the lectures or read the textbook, but his lectures are great. He gives out problem sets to help you review before assessments. Assessments consist of a lot of multiple-choice, a few written responses, and some calculation problems. He is overall a very straightforward professor.

If you aren't very dedicated to the class you probably won't like his teaching style. Pay attention and take notes on the lectures and you should be fine. In-class participation is not required but if you miss a lecture you will likely fall behind. Definitely a different classroom environment, but among the easier econ courses I've taken.

Took him for 101 and taking him for 202. If you go into the class with the mindset that you're gonna gain something you will learn. While he doesn't take attendance, all of the tests are based of the lectures, so if you don't get notes from a friend you're probably screwed. That being said, I attended every class, studied hard and got rewarded.

He is very old school and will not hand you your grade. The class is made up of a few quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam. He does not take questions during his lectures. That being said, he is extremely accessible outside of class and he is a very nice guy who wants to help those who want to learn. He doesn't use canvas so you can't miss lectures
