Had the pleasure of taking Micro with Father Hilton during his last semester at Loyola. Hands down the most helpful professor I have ever had. Every class was intense, and he really pushed his students to their full potential. Father Hilton's wonderful teaching and spirit lead me to pursue a degree in economics. We miss you at Loyola, come back!!

Everyone who is taking micro needs to take it with him. Hands down the best professor I've ever had, not just because he teaches well, but also because he gets to know each student and motivates and inspires us all. Just pay attention in class and study your notes and you're likely to get an A
