Good teacher, dnt buy the txtbook you dont need it test are ok, bst eco teacher @ hialeah
Listen, Being straight up! This guy is hard. He gives you all the notes by powerpoint, yet talks at the same time. Hard to understand the material when your writting everything down. Hes really cool, but brags about his mustang GT... Test are really hard, but projects are easy. If you want an easy "F" then take him, Other than that take someone els
Good professor, clear notes. You have to either buy the book or take good notes, you WILL need them for the exams. Cool guy. Projects are OK. I recommend you show up to class or the exams will be really hard
Professor Choy by the way isn't an Asian woman like I thought, he is Cuban and is damn proud of it. If you want to learn and earn your grade Professor Choy is the one. He will take his time to tutor you durning his office hours if you don't understand the material. I struggled but I made it because of his tutoring. Professor Choy is AWESOME!!!!!
BY THE WAY, DON'T BUY THE BOOK!!!!!!!!! Professor Choy uses his powerpoints. All you have to do is come to class, take notes, pay attention, study, do all of your extra credit and you will pass, BOOK IS NOT NEEDED......PUT THE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET! Great Professor and you will learn if you are not lazy.
THE BEST PROFESSOR I EVER TOOK IN MY WHOLE LIFE!! super clear and enjoyable! dont buy the book, go to class, take notes, so the papers.. If you like eco u are gonna lov it after taking him :)
This professor made the class very enjoyable. He is an awesome professor and teaches extremely well. Study your notes in preparation for exams and you'll be fine.. Awesome professor!! Awesome class!!
Prof. Choy is amazing. His class is not a walk in the park but its very easy. You dont need the book. Just take notes, AND STUDYY!!!... his test are hard, you have to really understand the material. But he is very helpful, and willing to go over anything you didnt understand, and responds to emails quickly. GREAT GREAT teacher... take him.
The class is not easy. If you attend class, take notes, and study you will pass - with A or B. He is helpful, but serious. He knows his material and delivers with clarity. I had the book and did use it - earned me an A. Excellent choice for a professor.
He knows what he's teaching & is always willing to help & answer any questions asked. He puts up power points so that you can copy, it really does help time fly. Gave 3 ext. credit which do help & gives 3 projects which aren't hard but his grading isn't too easy either. I got B's on all my projects. He's nice, funny. U can pass with an A if you stu
His tests are hard. I didn't do so well on the first two test, the only thing that saved my grade was actually studying from the textbook, using the notes from class and the study review sheets for the final. Also, there are projects and extra credit, which if you put some effort you'll do fine on them. Overall, he was a good professor. take him.
okay so he's kinda cute. but thats beside the point his class is not cake but if u copy down all the notes from the powerpoint then there's no way u'll fail. make sure ur always in class or at least copy the notes from someone when ur absent. he's very helpful and his classes are a blast . .
He's a really good professor. His class is really fun i guarantee u'll learn a lot . there's no need to buy the textbook, u wont use it at all . just copy all the notes and dont ever miss a class because then u'll fall behind . his tests are not hard, if u study ur notes it should be an easy A . . ohhh yea and he's kinda hot too ;)
Good teacher, gives good notes and takes his time explaining. Tests are a bit hard, you have to study the material or you will not pass. Offers extra credit and power points are in class. Take ALL the notes possible.
awesome teacher
If your a type of person who doesnt like to read your notes and just listen to him dont take him. His class is ok. The subject was hard, he gave alot of notes but the test were super hard. His grading is strict, 3 test 3 projects every test does have extra credit 10 points which you can get by answering 10 questions right but its hard.
First of all, do not buy the book. Copy all his notes and study them hard and you'll do fine on his tests.His class is not hard at all. There is also some papers you have to write but they aren't hard. I would recommend him
Excellent professor. I totally recommend him.
he is a good teacher. 3 hw and 3 exams. hw is only 5 % so your final grade is based mainly in exams. exams are not easy, but you have to study (not just the definition but also the concept)!! he gives extra credit assignment for each exam (its worth 10 points) and it can bust up your exam grade one letter up. i recommend him.
He's good overall. I gotta C in 6 week course. it was pretty tough material which can't be taken in 6 weeks. recommend him over the fall or spring semesters. he's not bad but some stuff is pretty difficult.
One of the best teachers I ever had! 3 tests. 1 project. if you take notes in class and study the review sheet for each test, you'll past. Easy project. Class is very interesting and he is very organized and flexible. AWESOME!
Listen he is the worst teacher i've ever taken..doesn't know how to teach at all!!.. class is based on 3 super hard test and 3 easy projects who don't help bust up ur grade for nothing!!.. if u wanna learn n get a good grade DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!....O0O n by the way HE'S NOT HOT AT ALL!!! =/
I PROMISE this guy is THE 1 and only guy to take...if you listen to the losers who say not to, you are insane. He's cool, down to earth, and prepares you for the 3 test he gives, his teaching method is interactive and you learn alot while getting good grades. He's simply the BEST!!!
great teacher! he is fun.. also you have to study and not be lazy..simple for normal people but hard for lazies
Choy is just an audio recording of the book. His examples are straight from the book(other than the examples where he often compares his Mustang to Toyotas and the United States to Cuba.) Also, it's not very smart to compare a 3rd world country to a developed industrial country. If you are good at regurgitating information, then this Prof is Great.
Professor Choy is organized and to the point. His notes come out of the book, but I paid a lot of money for it and I like the fact he uses it. You don't really have to buy the book if you take very good notes. Overall I liked his class, he is flexible and down to earth, will recommend.
I think he is a really good profesor he made the classes very intereting and entertaining. He teaches you not only so you can pass the exam but also so you can leave the class with at least some knodlege of the subjet, people that don't like him is because they don't like economics or they don't like to study.
He tells you straight up in the beginning the passing rate for the class is low.He is not one of the teachers to give you a grade he makes you work for it through the test.Yes the tests arent hard but if you study you can pass them.You can pass the test with his notes. Book not really necessary. Got an A because I studied class is very interesting.
TAKE HIM!!! He knows what he's doing, to obtain an A, you must study and do your homework! oh, and HE IS TOTALLY HOT!!! (im a guy)
Took Micro & Macro Eco with him. He is Great! very clear, don't get the book, just take his notes and you will pass the test! will take this teacher again if I could.
He won't say whether the textbook is needed or not, but it isn't mandatory. I'd say with the help of MyEconLab (which IS mandatory), you don't need the textbook. Always willing to explain everything. Funny and compares charts to real-life situations that anyone can easily comprehend. Heavy on notes, tests are closed-book & closed notes. Loves cars.
Mr Rene Choy has been one of the best professor in Miami Dade. I like him . he is super nice , honest . If you copy everything and study , you can get an A OR B . Dont be scared of Rene Choy.
Mr. Choy is not Chinese, however he is a great professor. He knows his Economics and presents clear power point lectures. Take good notes and you should be able to pass with an A or B.
Work on my econlab and take notes you will be fine. He is a great teacher!!
He is really a walking textbook. I recieved a C in the class and I didnt put a lot of effort into it. He's very helpful and curves the grades on the test.
HE IS A GOOD GUY!HE VERY HELPFUL, BUT DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR THE 6WEEK COURSE IT IS VERY HARD.GET READY TO WRITE.
He is a good professor, very interesting to follow along with his conversations. Lots of notes but helpful for the test. The online quizes on the other hand will bring down your grade if you don't read through the book.
You have to actually study for this class,lots of notes to read test aren't hard but the online quizes are.Fun guy willing to help you out
I took him for Macro and Micro Economics, and he's just great. Very friendly personality. He has an excel spreadsheet on his website that lets you calculate your exact grade whenever you want. A lot of writing notes, but they're extremely helpful. Attendance is vital because his lectures help a lot. Overall, I highly recommend.
He's a really good teacher
I found this class extremely hard for no reason. it wasn't necessary for it to be this to be hard. I've only received one B since i started and this b was with him. There's only 3 tests and most of your grade depends on these 3 tests which is hard considering the tests are crammed up and consist of 5 chapters or so. Didn't like this grading at all.
I Totally LOVE this Professor! He is one of the best teachers I've ever got! His classes are very interesting, but you'll have to study A LOT! And you will need the textbook! I highly recomment him, becuase you will learn EVERYTHING from macroeconomics to recent economics news.
This Professor is awesome, he almost always gives a 10 point curve on the tests. Also, he is willing to help you during his office hours with anything that you might need. He also has an excel grade calculator on his website to help you figure out your grade whenever you want.
He is not super hard but not super easy either. His lectures aren't really worth listening to since you can understand from self studying. HIS TESTS ARE HARD so you need to spend alot of time studying his notes and going over the chapters in the textbook. You will be okay if you have a high percentage on myeconlab and do extra credit assignments.
Whoever said that his lectures aren't worth listenting to, then what are you doing in college? I love Professor Choy. All his classes are interesting and he engages the whole class in a discussion. Yes, you have to study but we're in college, you can't get an easy "A" in everything. He's awesome!!! :)
he is just amazing his class is based in notes but he teaches you something new everyday so if you are ready to learn and fight for a good grade take his class
took eco2021 with this guy, he knows his stuff. great great teacher and is helpful. tests are very very well designed, not hard not very easy.
Great Professor, definitely helps you understand course matter. Homeworks are on Myeconlab as are quizes. Tests just require you to study homeworks on Myeconlab. Curves tests thanks to idiots in class. Great Economics professor.
Great Professor, not an easy subject. Anyone with half a brain can pass with an A. Most work is in MyEconLab.
He's a really cool guy, and has a sense of humor. He goes off topic sometimes but always covers the material that's going to be on the tests. Economics is a hard class, and slacking will have consequences.
Excelent Professor! I Took Both Intro to economics with with him and I loved every class. Both classes require a lot of study and work on Myeconlab; but they are really interesting. Take him you'll love him and his classes.(Especially If You are a Business or Ecomincs Major)
If you care about your future you take this class. If you pay attention you will learn valuable stuff. It is not the easiest stuff, but definitely doable if you take notes and read. The challenge was refreshing even then with some effort I got a B.
this guy he is so much fun. he makes this class so fun and interesting and he makes sure you understand what he says and explains. he gives you fair opportunity to pass. economics is not easy but he tries to make it easy just dedicate your time in this class.
OK first os all don't pay attention to the bad reviews. Professor Choy is AWESOME, he has a great personality and he'svery helpful. Material is Ok not easy, not that hard you just need to study. But honestly he couldn't make it any easier. I WOULD ABSOLUTLY RECOMMEND HIM
AWESOME! Professor Choy is such an amazing person; not just a professor. He's not dry like others—he makes the material relevant and interesting. He won't "give" you an A, though, but he will provide you with all the tools necessary to earn one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. If you're thinking of majoring in economics and are afraid about getting someone who will discourage, take him because he will INSPIRE you!
This guy will motivate you to keep going. Amazing person and a good proffesor what doesn't make him great is his powerpoint slides but afterall as a student it is your job to learn the material not the proffesor.. Take his classes he will inspire you and motivate you to keep going strong... And he's pretty fun at times
He's a nice enough guy. Attendance is taken every class. You have to do a MyEconLab assignment every week. He has 3 current events and then a small number of quizzes and tests. If you're focused and you study then you should be fine. To be honest, you could just learn from the book but attendance is apart of your grade so you should go to class.
There are too many chapters on one test. The questions on MyEconLab were different to what he tried to teach. He did not really teach the course.
Tough class sure. You learn plenty in this class, even if you do not do well. Would certainly recommend. Study ahead of time and read the notes many times. If you want an easy grade, take another class, if you want to learn take him.
He is super hard and he makes everything seem like its easy but its not. I passed with a C but barely and I do not recommend him AT ALL!!!
This teacher is pretty hard but then again i didn't study that often. nice guy, repeats a lot of corny jokes, and you'll learn if interested. There is a "curve" on most things.
Nice guy, tough teacher. Lessons are pretty fast. Copy all the notes from the power points because he doesn't post them online. STUDY! I suggest to read the book, more examples are given. The EconLabs are really easy, the quizzes are are harder than the test
if you want to understand economics,go ahead and take this class with prof Choy.you will defenitely not regret it.just focus,study the material and you will succesfully pass this class
Professor Choy is such a passionate and diligent teacher and really helps you understand and relate to your economy and world we live in. During the election it felt so good to really comprehend and want to know and learn more. Prof Choy does that and also is very resourceful and provides great refrences.
I LOVE HIS CLASS!!its my last class of the day and Im always super excited to come in! He is AWESOME. He is a cool guy, just like another student. Im gonna take as many classes with him as I can! You will learn a LOT. for the hw you can get all the answers in the "study plan" tab of the website, and the tests are completely based on notes.TAKE HIM!
Absolutely one of the greatest professors. I learned so much about the world of economics. The way he explains the material and associates it with the world we live in amazing. Honestly I think he should be teaching at an Ivy league school.
Take him! He is the best! You will learn a lot. I had him for both Micro and Macro and he was great for both!
I absolutely LOVE him. My favorite class of the semester,I looked forward to the class everyday! I can't wait till next semester to take him again. Not easy, but if you study you'll get an A. I HIGHLY recommend if you're interested in economics and want to learn. He is super funny and is cool. "one of us" If you just want easy A, don't take him.
He is a good professor, but the tests and quizzes online are hard. The homeworks and quizzes online are not related with the classroom test. He gives too much material.
Professor Choy is one of the best professors Ive had in college. He is passionate, and he makes the class so interesting. I could have caredless about this subject but now I love the subject and I am aware of many thing going on thanks to all I learned in his class. I passed with a "C" but it was the best C ever because I worked so hard for it:)
This professor was interesting but vey hard, he is good at what he teaches but his test are long and its too much material for one test. I liked his class but for me personally he wasn't clear enough and I was confuse throughout the semester.
Awesome professor! funny, cool guy. take good notes and make the effort to understand the material and you'll pass his class. The only thing that kind of sucks are the online quizzes; they're pretty hard. other than that love his class.
Ok. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT: HE IS A GOOOOD PROFESSOR! IF YOU TAKE HIS CLASS, BELIEVE ME YOU WILL LEEEEEEARN. BUUT..ITS NOT A EASY A! You have to FIGHT to get a A! But if you consider yourself a good student...you will get an A...if you just want an EASY CLAS..DON'T TAKE HIM! Probably you will FAIL. BYE
Professor Rene Choy is the best!!! Very outstanding teaching methods and he has a passion for teaching economics.Just study and learn from his lectures. Easy A!!!
He is amazing! He is very clear and thorough and the assignments are minimum; but it's heavily weighted. You do have to study for get a good grade. Take it serious from the start. I haven't used my txtbk b/c his notes are clear cut and b/c of the econlab online I get my extra help from there. It's easy to interact with him. He's really HOOOOTTT!!!!
Really good teacher, the class is what you make of it. The test are not easy, but he makes sure to go over things as much as possible; don't think because he's a nice guy its an easy class. Also don't sweat the book, just get the code
This class is straight forward. Come to class to get your notes. He allows 2 absences. The material is current & up to date. Read your note & study. There is no way you can fail. You come out this class learning a lot more than just economics.
He's a great economics professor. To pass his class, you really need to pay attention and read the notes. Everything is from the PowerPoints, he explains and gives examples. His test are long and hard ( if u don't study duh!) Turn in current events on time, do H.W and tests online on time. He's very nice, he gets to class on time. He's very HOT!!!!
Take him and don't think it twice. Professor Choy is amazing at what he does and its clear that he is passionate about it. The class consisted of 3 in class exams, 3 online quizzes, and 3 current event. You don't need the book, but I will admit it helped me while taking the online quizzes.
Great class, he is very funny but be warned it is not for the faint of heart. You will NEED to study for his exams and do well on my econlab. Tons of work, be prepared for a stressful semester if you choose to take a 6 week class.
The Professor is brilliant. If you are willing to learn chose him. If you want an easy class do not take him. He is very respectful and smart, he can help you with any doubt outside the classroom too. He is great
Profesor Choy es uno de los mejores profesores que he tenido en mi carrera de estudiante. Ademas, te explica todo lo pasado, presente y futuro de la economia haciendote abrir los ojos y entender todo. Las clases son estupendas, sin embargo para las pruebas hay que estudiar bastante. Es atento, inteligente y a la vez ejemplo para los estudiantes.
He's a great professor. Pretty funny, very knowledgeable of economics, and finds it easy to relate to students. He also makes the class interesting by tying the work to real-world examples. However, this class is no joke. You still have to study and read the book a lot. Do not take his easygoing lectures as the class being easy itself.
Great Professor. Class revolves around 3 articles 3 tests the eco lab and attendance. The best thing you can do is get a high A on 1 of the tests, 100 in attendance, and an A in all articleseco lab assignments. Choy is a straight up guy and can tell you all about economics through experience. Understand his class, and you can savemake $$$
He clearly knows his material and how to present it. The online quizzes he gave were harder than the tests, but you had several tries.
Doesn't care if you pass or fail
Honest and consistent as a teacher. Dedicated to teaching the material the clearest way he can. Very Handsome!
this professor explains the material really well. he really knows what he is talking about, but most of the time i couldn't understand some terms so he would get in detail trying to explain it clearly which i liked. The tests are really tough, you have to study really hard to get atleast a B. i liked that his lab gave us 2 tries
Great professor, strongly recommend. He reviews before test, and makes sure that everyone understands. You could go to class sign the attendance and walk out.
he is a very round teacher ,but what he gives us to study for the test( inclass ) are never on the test,then he wonder why we fail ,so it best just to study
Choy is a great professor and a great guy, the problem people have with his class, that i did was to continue passing the tests or getting a good enough grade so the extra credit can help you i got a 62.5% on the first test he gave us 20 point extra credit to do online it was super hard i got 18 giving me a 81.5% same for the second test he's cool
Just study the notes over and over, and you'll do fine. He usually gives a review the class before the test. Great professor. He's very helpful!
he doesn't care if you pass do not take him!!!! i was about to graduate and i couldn't his tests have nothing to do with the lecture....
Rene choy is a hottie, obvs. He's a great teacher but his exams are hard as hell and YOU NEED TO STUDY. I'm so serious... studying will only help you pass. You will need the ECONLAB and he has three quizzes there that are harder than the test, so be prepared. He's a great teacher, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
The material is hard but interesting. Attendance is built into your grade. He is always early and sometimes starts the lecture a little early. Overall a really nice guy. If you are lost in the beginning of class you will most likely be lost for the rest of the semester.
Professor Choy is an amazing professor and made the class lectures enjoyable. Although prepare to take notes because his tests are very, very difficult. There are made up of 40 questions but they will not be easy. Overall you have Three tests, 3 Online quizzes and homework, and three articles to complete. Would recommend
Very nice professor. He knows the material and he goes straight forward in every lecture. Also, he is aware that you are not a machine so he let you use your notes on the test, HARD COPY, so make sure you take good notes. As any class that you take with numbers, you have to work on the exercises to actually learn the concept. I loved his class.
Professor Choy was great. Explained the material clearly. Gives notes that you can easily understand. Just review the notes and pay attention and you should do good in classes.
LOVE HIM! tests are sort of easy but the homework definitely helps. Take homework seriously because there are only two attempts. He is very funny and made me get a genuine interest in economics. took him in summer A and it was faced paced but very enjoyable
pretty standard class. He loves the topic and thats a plus. Be ware there are 3 tests only. No make ups. I found that to be abit scary lol since Im a terrible test taker. I will update this towards the end of the semester.
3 exams, 3 current events, online HW/Quizzes. Class structure is simple and to the point - pay attention to lecture, take down notes/powerpoint notes, and be sure to ask any questions. Prof. Choy knows the subject very well, along with placing multiple real-world examples in the course that'll change your perspective on how the world works. Good!
Great professor. Makes the subject matter very relatable and interesting. As long as you pay attention and do the assignments you will pass. He teaches economics in a way that makes you understand the world. I took both his Macro and Micro Economics and I am a STEM major, just because I knew I would learn a lot in his class.
Professor Choy is a fantastic teacher! He is very clear with the material and will review it plenty of times to make sure everyone understands. its a very tough subject so i wouldn't recommend missing class. i missed one class the entire semester and fell behind for a bit. Will definitely take him again for Macro and Micro!!
Prof. Choy is a great professor. He likes what he does, so his classes are very enjoyable. The topics cover in class are linked to real life events, what makes the class very interesting. He is always prepared for class, and he is always available if students have question or need help. You will learn how the economy works. I totally recommend him!
Professor Choy is hand down the best professor I've had so far. He makes the course interesting, provides a balanced view on the subject, and will you help you if you need. I personally love economics and breezed through the class, but I've seen him help other students that the knows are genuinely trying.
Never felt the need to reviewed a professor, but Choy really left me no choice. Best professor I've had so far. He instructs very good and is very sociable. He has a way of explaining economic concepts through examples and metaphors that will help you understand everything.
His accent is the hardest thing to understand. Basically understand nothing. He makes the class hard and tough grader.
Amazing professor, you actually learn useful things for real life. The class level depends on you, his tests are hard depending on how much you study. Going to class is not a requirement but if you want an A you better go. His classes are fun and he knows his stuff.
This was the most challenging course I had to take, but if you read and study hard enough, you will pass. He gives 3 current event articles, quizzes (which are tough) & hw online, and exams in class. If you're expecting an easy A, not going to happen. He uses power points in his lectures and gives real-life scenarios so you can understand economics
If you are looking for an easy class, this is not for you. If you actually want to learn then look no further. Professor Choy gives very helpful and clear lectures (with illustrations) and relates them to real life current events. As long as you take his class serious it would be pretty dificult to fail. Few exams and expect 1 hw assignment per-wk.
3 exams + optional final. 1 major project. It was an investment portfolio. It was actually pretty fun, just difficult to write a 10 page paper at the end about it. In class he uses real life situations and current events to show how the material is applied in life, so he makes it easy to understand. Great professor, would recommend.
Good professor overall but if you are the type of person that can read a set of chapters that will be on the test take the test and pass it than GO FOR IT and pick him if your the type that will read the chapters and don't remember nothing you just read DON'T take him
The class may be a bit tough for some people (like me) but Mr. Choy gives many real life examples and analogies that make understanding easier. He's knowledgeable and speaks clearly. If you come to class, pay attention and do all the assignments, you should be fine.
Professor Choy is really knowledgable about what he teaches. His lectures are very easy to understand. The three exams are tough but are passable if you study your notes from the lectures. He does not email his powerpoints so attendance is mandatory in order to pass. Highly recommend him.
I've learned a lot in both ECO2012 & 2013. Although his tests may be a bit tough, the course lectures can definitely be applied to your life. I've been given the opportunity to play with the stock market and learn about various factors that can affect my potential business.
Professor Choy is an excellent professor. I learned alot in his class. However, this class is not an easy A. You have to work hard for it. His lectures had real life examples and made it more applicable to my life. Three current events, three quizzes, homework every week, and three exams were the course load. I would definitely take him again.
Professor Choy is an amazing professor. He uses real life examples so you truly understand the abstract content. You definitely have to study to pass, but he helps out and answers any questions you have. He curves all the exams, and there are lots of opportunities for extra credit. Don't buy the book though. His powerpoints are very thorough.
Great teacher... just too much for a summer mini term. I feel lost and confused and I am trying my hardest.
This professor is ok but for a mini term nope. I felt lost and confused. I studied til the end and I did the best I could. I read and did all the homework but quizzes were hopeless and test forget it. His class is very hard even if you took it the first time or the last time. Do not take his class unless you're good in this kind of thing!!
I showed up, I didn't learn anything from this class and I got an A.
Professor Choy is amazing professor.
I loved his class. I took micro with another professor and I didn't learn a thing but Choy is really good at explaining and cares about students, he explains the same thing over and over again until you understand. His class seems hard but it's not. Lots of homework I studied 2 days before the midterm and final and I passed AWESOME PROFESSOR
Overall great professor. Accessible if any problems. Attendance is part of your grade, and he doesn't send the class lectures or power points to you after class which kind of sucks. Tests are tough and you definitely have to study but he also gives a good amount of Extra Credit which helps a lot.
READ THE TEXTBOOK!!! It is none sense to say that the course is hard if you never read the book. I studied the course by reading the textbook and doing the homework he assigned. His lecture during the class will strengthen your understanding, and broaden your knowledge besides the book. I learned a lot from his class.
Professor Choy is the best Economics professor at MDC and I definitely recommend him! You will definitely have to do lots of studying because each exam is 20% of your grade and they're not "right there" answers. Overall, Choy is amazing. You won't regret taking his class.
Amazing professor, his class and lectures are amazing. Take notes and study for the tests. Do the few things he requests for grading and study and you'll pass. I would take again.
I dual enrolled and took him at PBSC Gardens 4 micro, funny guy not easy. Must read the chps before class & take notes and have book 4 long lecture. Pass exam must go thru hw many times and check your answers. Listen to him when he says best way to study is from hw. Take final to drop lowest exam. Grade 3exam hw attend. Go to slc, Amanda is great!
I took this professor his so hard, I would never take him again.
He teach straight by PowerPoint his class is very boring, if you fail one of his exam you could say you fail the whole class.
Really funny and genuine professor.
Great ECO professor, really recommend him. There is 3 test for the semester and your grade pretty much depends on how you perform on them. Other than that everything you do in class IS on the test, so don't miss and take notes.
Great Professor,!
I only needed this class as a pre-req. I have no interest in economics. With that being said Choy is a great professor. He explains what you need to know for the test and gives good examples. Honestly, I didnt take notes. I just sat down and listened to the man talk and it worked out fine for me. Just show up and pay attention and youll be fine.
Professor Choy is not the easiest professor as far as tests go but he is an amazing teacher and is very accessible during office hours. If you really make the effort and spend real time studying for his class with the notes he gives, you should be fine.
His teaching style involves mostly power point but he explains the material very well. Dedicate the time to take good notes, do your HW well and study. Your grade will thank you. Unfortunately I had to retake the class with another Prof but still using my notes from his class to help me understand what in the world this other Prof is teaching.
Lectures entire class. Gives exam reviews. Very very difficult exams which each count as 20% of your overall grade. Very nice professor eventhough I would not recommend at all if trying to get an A.
great teacher very understandable when youre in a pinch. will help you as much as he can just shoot him an email or go to his class for office hours
great guy i had him for stats as well he understands a lot about your situation and is very funny
Best professor in all of Dade. He is nothing short of spectacular. Just take him, you wont regret it!
Tbh hes a nice person but I think he needs to get better at explaining stuff , class gets a bit confusing :(
Oh my God, I love this man so much. Lets you use notes for exams and is so helpful and patient. He is incredible. The tests are a little difficult but he helps you out a lot. He is HEAVEN SENT TAKE HIM
By far one of the best professors, definitely take him.
One of the few professor who actually cares about the material he teaches. He also keeps the course interesting and he answers his emails quickly if you need any help. You will need to study in order to pass his class, as any college course to be honest.
Yes, he is lecture heavy but explains everything so well. His tests are rough and you really have to study. Do all the online homeworks and quizzes and that will help your grade. He also throws some jokes here and there, he makes you really think about things. I enjoyed his classes, if I could, I would take him again.
Awesome professor, I really enjoyed his lectures and most of the homework and quizzes are online. As for his exams, he allowed our class to have a cheat sheet of whatever we wanted to put on the paper. I had both Macro and Micro with him, loved both classes.
I withdrew from Professor Choy's class and got a W grade. His class is tough, I guess I bit off more than I can chew. He has clear grading criteria and an amazing lecturer. I didn't do good but he gave me the tools to do so. I plan on re-taking his class soon when I can balance an easy schedule and his hard class. I recommend him, he's awesome.
His reviews are just like his tests. If you have any questions about any problem, hes extremely easy to reach and talk to. Hes super understanding about anything. He gives you a grade for attendance at the end and allows you to miss up to 2 days and youll still get all the points for attendance. Would recommend, 10/10
Let me start off with, he won't drop you if you skip class (he really doesnt care whether youre there or not), but dont expect to pass if you dont show up. He is so good at explaining dificult concepts and he makes economics interesting. You can tell he is very passionate (and he's really funny). Definitely one of the best professors you'll get.
The review below mine is accurate. Rene Choy is overall a good professor. He is fair and does grade curves. The grading criteria is very simple; 3 test, my econ lab and 3 current event articles. Just make sure you study for those test and you will be fine.
Professor Choy is a great professor. Just study for the tests, do the MyLab assignments and current events. He's super funny and makes the class interesting.
The class is now online but he is an excellent professor even online, has has a lot of his material available in YouTube so it makes it perfect to learn on your own time. He very approachable and willing to help. If you want to take an excellent intro to economics class, he is one of the best.
Great professor!! Would definitely take him again.
Very good professor. This professor will make actually teach you about the relevant things going on in the country. The grading is also clear; it consist of current event articles, myEconLab and quizzes. If you study you definitely passing; he is also a funny cool guy. Overall i learned alot
A few current events and 4 test that you get to bring half a sheet of what ever you feel will help you and he curves the grade according to the class average. He uses a PowerPoint but explains thoroughly on the board and theres also Pearson homework.
Most perfect online teacher ever.
This class was super easy and I learned a lot. Definitely recommend
Good professor although I wish he would have regular zoom or black board classes instead of using videos. Easy class
Overall great teacher, he doesn't teach through blackboard tho. He has some pre-recorded videos that you can watch at any time, anywhere. However, if you do have questions you can easily contact him through his email or on blackboard on the days and time you have his class. Just do your work and you'll be set.
Professor Choy give you a very clear syllabus depending what class your in. I took him for both eco 2013&2023. The class is amazing & youll learn a lot from his YT vids. 10 attendance Discussion boards, Cengage Hw, Quizzes, 3Tests + an optional makeup test. Everything is spaced out & gives you enough time to do,gives ppts & available for questions
Professor Choy made this class simple by making it asynchronously with YouTube videos for each chapter. We had three exams along with an optional final, three quizzes, a homework assignment for each chapter, and ten discussion board questions which counted as a participation grade. As long as you meet deadlines, you'll be fine.
Professor Choy he is excellent professor homework assignments are very helpful and easy if you take notes and watch his lectures videos and gives extra credit towards the end of the semester highly recommended to take his class
This professor is the best. He has videos that go in depth into the topic we are studying and has a very clear grading criteria everything you need to know he has in the syllabus. Very good professor overall.
The professor is excellent. He has office hours, so we don't have to meet. He lectures with videos online, and that's how we do the assignments and tests. There is no book; there is a Pearson subscription for the class. He measures attendance by the discussion boards, so make sure you do it at least once a week; there were ten. Overall, he's good.
Professor Choy teaches very well and makes this class understandable to the regular person.
Aside from the homework assignments, there were 3 exams, and 3 quizzes that helped you prepare for the exams. Also 3 essays. Overall, the course was very simple and straightforward, the teacher is very accessible if you do ever need help. I recommend.
Really good Professor his syllabus has every assignment and due dates as long as you study youll pass
Highly recommended. You will enjoy his lecture. I can't express my gratitude and the respect I have for Prof. Choy
Best professor in Miami Dade College
Great professor, especially for online students. All his lectures are on youtube. Homework prepares you for the quiz, quiz prepares you for the test(3 total). Extra credit. Also test 4 is optional and drops the lowest score, so if you did not do so great he gives you an extra chance to improve your grade. Overall AMAZING professor!! Take him!!!
I work 60 hours weekly and I was able to pass the class. This professors tries really hard to help you. I believe I was late in almost all my assignments and he still let me do them and understood. Take this class, you won't regret it ! You should get an easy A.
Professor Choy is amazing!!! Youtube lectures, hw, 3 quizzes that prepare you for tests (3), and test 4 is optional. Very caring for students, he opened up all the homework at the very end of the semester. If you study and do all your work on time should be an easy A.
Very flexible! The attendance is recorded by straightforward discussion posts that help you better understand and reinforce what youve learned. There are non-proctored exams that can be taken whenever you please, the fourth exam is optional and replaces your lowest score. Im taking him again for ECO 2023 because he is amazing! Best Econ prof!
He is Amazing. I highly recommend his class. He is knowledgeable. Just do your job completing the assignments and you will pass. Quizzes are harder than the test to help you be prepared, but he give attempts flexibility so you can get the highest score on homework and quizzes questions...
Professor recorded online videos are well explain easy to understand and helps you complete the homework as you go.
The class is supposed to be hard, its microeconomics! Prof Choy is amazing, and you definitely will understand the material, and actually learn a few interesting things. Discussion board gives you attendance, homework, quizzes (3), and tests (4). The last test is optional, and will dropped the lower score on any of the tests 1-3.
he has all his lectures on youtube so you dont actually have to attend class- and the lectures are really good too, he also posts all the powerpoints class attendance is by completing discussion posts some of the tests/quizes are like super hard, cause its a lot of math.. but i may just be bad at math as a professor- hes fantastic
An amazing professor. He is very organized and on top of everything. He always includes pre-recorded lectures and is easily accessible for those online. Super flexible with attendance if you can't show up to class. He makes his lectures interesting and will incorporate humor. His passion for economics makes me eager to join the class.
Best professor to take in economics
Definitely by far the best professor I've had while attending MDC! His lectures were very informative and gives great real world examples while explaining. I was scared to take macro initially but he broke it down to where it looks easy. Hw is easy and similar to exams, final is optional. Discussion boards can count as attendance. Great Professor!!
easy A , easy assignments
Professor Choy is a good professor. He gives you links to all his lectures on YouTube. All you have to do is watch the video lectures, take notes, do the homework, and study for quizzes and tests. Attendance is graded by participation on the discussion boards on blackboard.
Rene Choy is one of the greatest teacher mdc could have. I had him for ECO2013 he was very nice. He gave 3 exams, 3 essays, and Pearson's assignments, everything were on Pearson. I hate essays but I got a B for the class. And take 2times for the next semester. I recommend him
I highly recommend this professor. His lectures are clear and helpful for assignments and texts. He is very organized with homework assignments and due dates are flexible. Take attendance by discussion boards that can be easily completed during the term or at the end if you procrastinate. You can get an Easy A if you complete all your work. Yes!
GREAT PROFESSOR
He is an amazing Professor. He actually knows what he is talking about and takes his students seriously. He is open to answer any questions we may have. Exams are based off of the homework questions, so if you do them, you should be fine.
He is a very good professor, his test are easy and you have a lot of time to do them
Professor Choy is AWESOME. He records all his lectures and post them on YouTube so it isnt mandatory to go physically. As long as you pay attention to the lectures youll get an A. Theres 3 Tests and an optional final, 1 homework per week on mylab and 3 Current Event Article summaries. Take him and you wont regret it!.
Professor Choy gives great lectures and has PowerPoints and videos if you need more explanation. The workload for this class is not too heavy and he is flexible and understanding. He is hilarious in person and creates a nice atmosphere in the class room. As long as you do the work on time you should be good.
The class was hybrid, meaning you didnt have to be in class, and he had all of his lectures were on YouTube. The homework was a bit intense, and the tests covered everything.
Professor Choy is very good, his class was amazing and definitely a course I would recommend. He is funny and truly cares for his students. His lectures are clear and easy and the course content is very clear.
he is ok however his class is super boring but at least he teaches he's class is super test heavy 60% of the grade is test and you get one try only and there's a lot of graphs in the test so be prepared not a easy class but still passable
Highly recommended! Great professor and interesting lectures. PowerPoints and video lectures on YouTube. Very organized. Homework in MyLab expires each test day. You'll have 3 tests (no proctored) and an optional one at the end of the course that will help you improve your final grade. You'll have a quiz (4 attempts) before taking each test.
Professor Choy is amazing! If you take his class online, the lectures are prerecorded on YouTube. He takes one day to go over the powerpoint and explains everything. You don't have to attend the lectures since they are on YouTube and your attendance grade is based on discussion boards. Tests aren't hard, do the hw, you won't fail. 100% recommend.
This guy is amazing! Theres a zoom, but its optional to join. His lectures are on YouTube and you can watch them at your own pace. He provided extra credit, and the work was very straightforward and doable if you watch the videos and take your notes. The exams are non-proctored, similar to the homework and quizzes so nothing comes as a surprise!
Great Professor has very great videos to help you during the course he's very helpful in class and had great discussions on every module in the class. I recommend this class to all of you as long as you don't fall behind you will guarantee pass his class.
Hard class. 1 of my fav professors. Very knowledgeable, down 2 earth, nice guy, funny. Pre-recorded lectures, classes are for review & questions. 3 timed exams 75% of grade. Exercises and Quizzes on MyLab with multiple attempts. The hardest part: Exam questions not taught in lectures or Quiz so Must read book & do exercises in book if you want A.
He's a good professor but you really have to organize yourself. He doesn't make attendance mandatory which tempts you to not attend the meetings at all and then it can get hectic. The exams are the hardest part, most of it isn't even in the lectures. Gordon rule class so there's 3 current event papers that are MANDATORY. Overall, decent class.
He is one of the best professors I've ever taken. He genuinely cares about his students and makes lectures interesting. He also provides external material like videos and PowerPoints. The class itself isn't hard if you pay attention to the PowerPoints, and there will be a project at the end of the semester. He's flexible with attendance.
One of the best professors at mdc. He grades by three test, discussion boards and mylab or mcgrill assignments. Attendance is not mandatory. He is honestly the best, oh and none of the tests are proctored.I took him for three classes, totally recommend him.
Four test, last one replaces lowest grade. Homework and quiz is done on mylab. Attendance graded by writing discussion post.
All lectures are on his youtube channel, attendance is NOT mandatory. Every assignment is on Mathlab except 3 current events which are submitted through blackboard. Quizzes have 4 attempts and Tests have one attempt.
Professor Choy is a great professor. For his class, he has online videos that you can watch for the lecture. The online videos basically explain everything. He is always available for questions. He is a nice professor and the syllabus explains everything and everything is on there. Great professor, highly recommend him.
Choy is by far the best professor I had in College. He is very funny and creative in the way to teach you.
I really liked his class. I took him for ECO2013 and ECO2023. No mid term and final is optional, just 3 quizzes and 3 tests (non of them proctored). He has pre-recorded lectures and he explains again the videos in class. His class is easy-going. He opens again all hw at the end of the semester so you can get them done in case you missed any of them
TAKE THIS CLASS! He updates you via email when tests will be available and homework is fairly easy as long as you pay attention in class.
Extremely easy to pass this class, just make sure you do the discussions, quizzes, test and homework
ECO 2013 / ECO 2023 & QMB 2100 - R. Choy inspires, mentors ... Lecture style: clear /easy to understand, w/ facts supporting theory. Easy to reach via email. Great feedback. Fabulous explanatory videos from his YouTube channel. HW: not overwhelming. Attendance is through the discussion board.3 Tests, 4th is optional but cumulative. Not proctored.
I took two classes (macro-economics, Business Statics) with professor Choy, in different semester. The lectures are pre-recorder lectures, and will provide the information that you need on the quizzes and test. The test are not proctor but you definitely would have to watch the video or attend to the live classes to be able to do well on the test.
I took this class on MDC Live. He has pre-recorded lectures available on YouTube as well as the regular lectures given throughout the course. All you have to do is study and stay up to date with completing the homework and discussion board assignments, and do well on the tests to pass. It's a very easy class.
Super easy class, attendance is optional. One homework assignment on pearson and one discussion post a week. Nothing is procotored. and if for whatever reason you need extra info to finish an assignment, all his lectures are recorded and he replies very quickly to emails.
Displayed excellent teaching skills , quite a few assignments, great guy
Wonderful class , learning never felt more clear
This is my first rate here. Prof Choy is super organized with the hw, and test. He explains everything so well. I took him online. He answers emails fast. Hes test are not proctored. He pre records lectures which comes handy. He cares about teaching. And dont want you to fail . Take himmmmm!!!
If you enjoy cheesy well mannered people, Professor Choy is your guy. He was very helpful and made everything easy to understand, as well as his combo of in person plus videos of each lecture really helps make the class digestible.
Great professor, very caring for his students, self explanatory work, can work at own pace,great class overall and highly recommend
Great professor, really knows his stuff, but get ready to study your butt off. His quizzes are harder than the tests. But that doesn't mean the tests are easy. You have 3 tests and they equal 70% of your grade. Don't fall behind either because you have homework on every chapter, and a discussion board as well. overall would take again :)
Professor Choy is a delight with a great class setup! Pre-recorded lectures and live ones he does during class with thorough explanations. The hw is through MyLab and tests aren't proctored. Attendance is marked through weekly discussion board posts. Overall, the material isn't bad, just pay attention to the lectures and practice on the homework!
Professor Choy is very knowledgeable and conducts professional lectures in a friendly manner. He would invite us to ask questions whenever we had them, and he always gladly answers them! One discussion board post a week, homework, a few quizzes and exams, and an optional "extra credit" exam for your final grade! Don't look any further - choose him!
Professor choy is really one of my favorite professors out there, he explains everything in a way you would understand. Homework is on Pearson, three tests and at the end extra credit test. One discussion board due every week. take him!!!
AMAZING Professor. Super clear and knowledgeable. His lectures made it super easy to understand the material. TAKE HIM!! If you read the material, pay attention in lectures and complete your homework, this class is an easy A. Weekly discussions due for attendance, 4 tests and he drops the lowest grade, and homework due on MyLab.
If you are honors just take him. SUPER easy and he is really fun and nice. You have to get mypearsonlab and all of the quizzes, homework, and tests are online plus you will learn a lot in this class. at first, I don't like learning economics but he made the class so interesting that I wanna invest in stocks now and make a business lol. 10/10
Professor Choy is amazing teacher and explain clary and excellent. I do not dude to take class with him again. Thank you
Professor Choy is an excellent Professor, he managed to make the lesson simple enough for an average student to understand.
One of the best professors at MDC! He's lectures are very easy to understand, plus he knows economics, so you will get out of the course with an easy A and knowledge about macro. Discussions are attendance, so you don't have to connect. Recorded lectures that you can watch on your time. Take him! You won't regret it!
Professor Choy was very knowledgeable on the things he would speak on. He provides lots of charts, graphs and information during class. Class wasn't hard as long as you either remember the information given or take notes. If you do so class should be a breeze.
I took professor Choy for ECO 2013 & ECO 2023, hands down one of the best economics professors that MDC has. The setup for his class is so easy to follow, and his lectures are great. He really cares about his students and wants them to pass the class. Please take him, you will not regret it!
The class is literally discussions posts, three tests, and I think a total of 16 hw assingments on MyMathLab. The class is easy and he gives extra credit an opportunity.
He's a great Professor. His lectures are informative and he repeats information throughout the course to make sure you understand the concepts.
One of the best prof at MDC. I took him for both ECO2023&ECO2013. the class work consists of pearson assignments and about 3/4 exams (not proctored). the courses itself are difficult but if you pay attention to the lectures, it's not bad. class attendance isn't required, but he teaches really well so I recommend it.
The best professor don't think about it and just take it. trust me despite you don't know me. you will not regret it.
If u want to learn statistics, take Prof. Choy, the best at explaining all and is very clear about grade requirements/due dates. Pearson code is needed to complete hw and exams; follow the weekly assignments and chapters! If you have any questions, email him and get answers asap. Takes notes & this will be the most peaceful statistics class ever!
great prof, his intro to mac econ class is divided in to three big tests throughout the semester but he gives you plenty of time and material to help you pass. could not recommend him more
This Professor is amazing teacher and explain excellent about the economic
Really good professor! The grade was based on 4 tests, McGraw-Hill hw, and discussion boards that were based on the lectures. Really easy A. He also has a youtube channel that he provides with a summary of the lessons. If you have an opportunity to take him, I really really recommend you do.
Great professor, super flexible, take him you won't regret it.
Professor Choy genuinely cared about our success and was always available to help. He made learning fun and exciting. He is definitely one of the most professional and helpful professors I've ever had!
What an amazing class and such an amazing professor. Professor Choy is a gem, he really cares about the students and gives amazing lectures. His class consists in Discussion board questions that count as attendance, assignments of 10 questions and 3 tests + 1 optional cumulative test. Please take him you won't regret it, trust!!
Prof. Choy is the best professor I have ever had. You will be able to really learn and understand statistics with him. there are 4 tests with the 4th test being optional. attendance isn't mandatory, there are also pre-recorded lectures to help and he responded to emails really fast. very organized and has clear instructions and very clear grading.
He's very smart and organized. I enjoyed his class and the freedom he gives you. all his lectures are prerecorded on youtube. I recommend but his class is difficult. He's great!
He makes economics fun and easy to understand. His class is also engaging and interactive.
Very caring and understanding! Answers emails fast. Attendance is graded if you do the discussion posts (once per week) HW on Mindtap. 2 Non-proctored tests. 5 Non proctored quizzes. I didnt have time to complete the midterm and he extended it a day for me! Take him! He is a great Prof and wants his students to learn and pass! Took class on MDCLive
I don't like this type of classes but honestly he made it enjoyable and I truly understood everything he teach us. If your not the best at math like me take him. His lectures are in youtube please watch and take notes. You'll have the oportunity to work/ or do other stuff cause this course is self paced.
Professor Choy is an amazing teacher, and his lectures are easy to understand. Every time I watch his You Tube videos that he prepares for his class I learn so much and he explaineds it well. Rene Choy is very knowledgable and I definitely recommend him as a teacher. Thank you professor Choy.
Great teacher, very understandable & keeps the class entertained. He definitely made my dual enrollment senior year worth it!
Attendance doesn't matter; he uses the discussion board as attendance. His assignments and exams are all on MyLab. He has his lectures on YouTube if you ever miss class.
One of the best professors I've had so far. Take him! You won't have to come to class as long as you do discussions and everything in his PowerPoint is on the tests and quizzes. He gives extra credit and is very very caring!
Professor Choy made me understand QMB. I would recommend him to any one doing it for the first time.
I was nervous about this class at the beginning of the semester, and to see that I finished with a B I am proud of myself, But I am super grateful that I had Mr Choy as a professor. He really helped me to understand. If there are more courses I can take with him, I will.
Professor Choy is fantastic! Took a blended class where attendance isn't mandatory, but every class you miss, you have to complete a discussion board post. Great system. His lectures are phenomenal, and he always has well drawn, clear graphs/charts to illustrate his points. Very engaging and actually teaches.
Professor Choy was an easy class. His class was blended for me and I showed up 1-2 times in person and stayed home for the rest. Assignments were online so you don't really need to come in person. You should do at least 3 dissusion boards to pass the class and DO NOT wait last minute to do it. Super nice and get teacher, would take again!
First class I ever took with The Amazing professor Choy very helpful going to the lectures is very useful
Second class I took with professor Choy amazing was definitely more hands on than his macro class just amazing overall
Hands down, one of the best professors I have ever had. He makes complex math understandable and knows how to teach. Attendance was graded by answering a discussion post, not by joining the zooms, he understands people have complex schedules. If you didn't have time to tune in to the lesson, no worries, he pre-recorded videos for each topic!
I love Professor Choy. I cannot explain how fun was his class. He doesn't make it boring. I have taken his macro and micro classes online before, but this was my first one in person, and was 100% worth it. Dont limit yourself to take it through MDC life it's way better in person, plus if you go to the classroom you don't have to do the discussions.
This professor was amazing. Took him during the summer term as a 6-week and I learned so much. This class isn't hard. You don't even have to join the meetings since he provides you with his videos so it's pretty much do it yourself. I would definitely take him again!
Take him. Nothing else to add
Professor Choy's class is engaging and flexible. The lectures are recorded, so you can watch them at your own pace. Unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook are great study aids. Attend discussions to pass this manageable course.
This professor is amazing. All tests and HW are online through Pearson. Easy class needs to pay attention. I definitely will take a course with him again.
He's simply the best. Pay attention, and you might just gain some valuable insights to become rich. #Choytopia
Rene Choy is an amazing professor! He always asks if we have any questions and is very caring. There are 3 tests, if you missed one, you can take the 4th test or if u want a higher grade, he drops the lowest grade if you take the 4th test. His homeworks are due at the end of the semester and are similar to the tests. He is such a W professor.
Honestly, he's a great professor. He gives more than enough time to complete assignments, so you really have no excuse not to turn it in on time. Also, his lectures are available through canvas, so even if you can't make a class, you can always view those powerpoints and his videos to catch up.
Professor Choy taught more than just textbook economics, and went into real world examples that are truly helpful in life. The homework is very manageable as long as you try to learn. He made the lectures interesting so you won't be bored attending class. I 10/10 recommend his class.
Such a good professor. He provides recorded lecture and PowerPoint that you should watch before the lecture. This format so organized because once you have the lecture you wont be lost at all. He gives homework and discussion post and test. No final unless needed. He's very outgoing, friendly, and respectful. So you won't be bored.
Prof. Choy is an amazing professor. He makes sure his students understand the work. After a question he literally waits because he said one of his professors told him wait a little someone's is going to have a question 😂 he's funny and you don't have to go in class he has his lectures posted and to get attendance you answer a discussion post.
Professor Choy is my favorite professor thus far. His lectures are amazing and he ensures you understand the concepts by applying them to real life situations. I managed to get an A with lots of efforts, but well worth it. I look forward to taking Professor Choy again for ECO 2013 and 2023. I highly recommend anyone to take his class.
Professor Choy masters economic concepts very well. He supplements the textbook with videos and PowerPoint notes that make the class easier to understand.
Professor Troy is an amazing professor if I could take his class again I would do it over and over he is a true inspiration and actually teaches the class not just reads PowerPoint through and through
Professor Choy is an amazing professor if I could take his class again I most definitely would he is truly an inspiration and actually teaches the class
Easily one of the most easy going and sweetest professors that MDC has left. If you fail this class, it's because you genuinely didn't try at ALL. Class is composed of (4) exams, the 4th one being optional and a substitute for lowest exam grade. MYLAB homework all due at the end of semester, and discussion posts on canvas. He makes it easy to pass.
Really good professor, I enjoy his classes. 3 tests (not proctored), three quizzes, and homework for each module, which are 12 in the whole semester. Highly recommend
He is an amazing professor and I would take his class again in a heartbeat, attendance is and isn't mandatory at the same time. If you don't show up to class you just have to answer a discussion board posting and you get your attendance. He's also a great lecturer and you will never be bored in his class.
Explains things well and also respond to emails fast when you have a question.
He is a great professor, there is no way to regret taking him ♥️
Professor Choy's class was amazing. I know I will be revisiting his videos in the future just to know how to better navigate the economy. The class is great, your learn and cover everything you need for posterior economics courses. If I was a business, finance, or economics major I would take him for everything related to my major.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!! Would 100000% recommend him to anyone for any subject. His class is blended so you meet once a week. He makes the material very easy to digest and is one of the easiest to understand professors in the subject. Anyone who takes him will love his class.
Professor Choy is VERY knowledgeable. He makes the assignments easy to understand and complete. You can attend the lecture and still have access to all the material through the student portal. He's also very understanding and will help you out if you ask for his help. I recommend him 100% for all economics classes.
hes truly the best, i hadnt even taken macro and he made it so easy- he cares so much about your performance in class and your concerns. lectures are amazing though sometimes they dont fully cover everything on test but its all in the book. other than that, he gives you quizzes to practice and homeworks are also helpful. i would def take him again.
Rene Choy is just an Amazing professor, simple is that he will get you ready for the future and make you see the world in another way financially. The class is blended, however i advice you all to come to the class in person cause the lectures would be much better, cause we all would be engaging and sharing ideas. #choytopia
Professor Choy is great! He actually teaches you valuable information. His tests and homework are all in Pearson. Attendance matters and if you miss a class you could submit a discussion post to make it up. I recommend 100% his classes.
Great professor. I am considering doing my master in Economics because of him. I enjoyed a lot the lectures and he definitely has the ability to teach, not only share information.
Really good professor
Amazing Professor!! His lectures are super entertaining and he really helps you understand macro with many charts. Its not hard to pay attention in class as he is constantly giving new interesting information about today's world. As long as you do your homework, 3 discussions, and attend class, then its a guaranteed A+ 10/10 would take again.
He was a funny lecturer, and he made economics, a topic I don't enjoy, more enjoyable. As a result, I actually wanted to participate in lectures.
Great Professor, I took him for ECO2013 and QMB2100. I would definitely take him again.
Professor Choy is an excellent instructor who is both knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Lectures are well-structured, engaging, and full of real-world insights that enhance understanding. While the course involves a significant amount of homework, it's clearly designed to reinforce key concepts and prepare students thoroughly for exam
Prof. Choy is a great professor and makes learning a difficult topic look easy! Attending lectures is not mandatory, but they are very helpful. Regardless, he has videos to guide you. I already have him for next semester because I love his classes. Class structure consists of discussion posts (for attendance), 3 tests, connect hw, and extra credit.
I truly enjoyed his class. Although attendance is not mandatory, his lectures are pretty informational and interesting. Exams are similar to homeworks and quizzes (excepting for some new questions you'll see on the exams), so use these to prepare for the exams. He makes economics an enjoyable class. Do not hesitate to take his class!
Professor Choy was truly one of the nicest professors I have had ever. He takes his time to explain things if you do not understand, and really goes over everything with clear real life examples to help you understand the topics better. I am so glad I took his class. Tests are not hard and homework is not hard either. Trust hes the best.
Great guy, clear lecture explanations, attendance graded through weekly short essays (very easy). Otherwise HW is graded at the end of the semester, 3 quizzes 3 tests, quizzes are harder than tests but you get 4 attempts.
good professor, if you miss a class you can make it up with a discussion board post. nice and uses current real world examples to help you understand
Great guy, clear lecture explanations, attendance graded through weekly short essays, HW due at the end of the semester, 3 quizzes, 3 tests, quizzes are harder than tests but you get 4 tries.
Professor Choy is a great economics professor. He is very organized and grades in a timely manner. The objectives for the class are clear on the syllabus and the schedule of the class is easy to follow. There's a good pace of the assignments and it's not a hard class at all. It's up to you whether you want to succeed.
Simple grading, very organized and clear instructions. Would recommend this professor 100%.
I took Professor Choy for ECO2023 and ECO2013. AMAZING teacher and person, he actually teaches you and wants you to learn. I had him both online and in person, and would take both classes with him again if I could. In my opinion he's the best professor i've had!
Choy was great! Sl.uper respectful and knowledgeable about his subject! If you miss a class, you can make up your attendance by doing the weekly discussion board. Homework is hefty if you procrastinate. His lectures were informative, clear, and easy to follow. Be sure to ask questions! He will happily answer them for you and help you understand.
Updated review: Professor Choy is my favorite professor thus far. His lectures are amazing, and he ensures you understand the concepts by applying them to real-life situations. I have now taken Professor Choy for three different classes, ECO2013, ECO2023, and QMB2100. Only good things to say about him. I recommend anyone to take him.
Easily one of the best professors MDC has left so far, super understanding and easy going, I've taken him both for 2013 and 2023, he actually knows what he's teaching and has some fun lectures. MYLAB homework(13HWKs and 13 discussion posts), 3 exams no camera proctored, one optional final exam to drop worst exam grade. 100% recommend.
best teacher at Miami dade! recommend for all!
Professor Choy is very direct but easy going professor, clear expectations and very organized. The lectures were easy to follow, no crazy long assignments. All we had were about 14 discussion post that can be done throughout the semester ,my lab and 4 test non-proctored . 4th test being optional. Overall 10/10 I'm taking him again for Macro.
