He's a very cool, laidback teacher. He was my first "college" professor and i enjoyed him a lot.He doesn't come off as strict, harsh;none of that. when it comes to the material he knows what he's teaching.The tests are very easy...just pay attention. Lecture is quite boring, but hey economics is boring!! ...just take GOOD notes and you'll be fine.

I loved economics, but when I took this class I began to realize how easy it could be. His materials are offered online and he gives great feedback. His coursework is easy to follow and his discussion boards are straightforward. Professor Methenitis was very informing of his class. I would recommend everyone to take him, you won't be stressed!

Online HW is an easy A; however, Prof. Methenitis' subjective grading on discussion boards is not. Followed directions and gave what I believe were profound answers, yet got a C on what I wrote (no feedback). Obviously, he needs to be more clear on his grading criteria. A student should never be shocked by his/her final grade. B for me, F for him.

It's easy to find the answers to the quiz and even test questions online. Reading the textbook wasn't necessary, but you get the ebook with the access code you have to buy for the class. Had two discussions boards which were easy A's as long as you answered every part to it, he isn't specific in length or anything but gotta reply to at least 2 ppl.

I took Mr. Methenitis online for ECON 2302 while attending another university. It's a real easy class as the quiz and test answers can be found in the book or online. The class wasn't confusing, and he set clear deadlines. In addition, he also sent out reminder for upcoming deadlines. Word of advice: really TRY on the discussion boards (it'll help)

This class is super easy to navigate and Mr. Methenitis emailed me back promptly when I had a question. 4 exams, 2 discussions, 13 chapters and quizzes, no final.

10/10 He is an amazing professor. I thought economics would be a boring course but he made it fun. All of his tests are easy and he pretty much tells you what they will be about! His tests also have 10-20 points of extra credit. There is a lot of material but he tried to make it easier on his students by simplifying it as much as he can.

Took Prof Methenitis for Econ 2301 & 2302. Both were easy online classes. If you read the chapters and do the practice questions you should get a good grade on the quizzes and unit test since they are very similar. For a 5 week course there are 13 quizzes, 4 unit test, and 2 discussion boards. Quizzes and test are graded instantly. Highly recommend

This professor could have been replaced by a chat bot. At no point in this course did we receive any actual instruction from him. The assignments were all stock-standard textbook/quiz/discussion post. Any communication from him was passive aggressive (or outright combative) reminders about deadlines and instructions. Avoid.
