Class isn't mandatory, but its necessary to understand stuff. He teaches pretty good, gives lots of review questions on blackboard which are almost exactly like the tests. He's very nice & somewhat funny. Class is kinda boring but not too bad. Tests are straight from notes, but book helps to clarify. Would definitely recommend him.

Tests are multiple choice and easy if you go to class. Used the book maybe once. 85 is an A.

If you go to his class and pay attention, you will get an A. I don't really like econ but he makes it really clear. He's funny/ cheesy and overall a good class.

The class was easy. Do the practice problems on line. If you know someone with the old tests study from those. If you are not doing good in the class go to his office hours; do not wait till the end to seek help. I did not buy the book because he has power point slides of the book online. He will replace your lowest test grade with your highest.

Excellent lecturer and always willing to help students. If you just attend class and review the study material you will at least be able to get a B.

Class can be interesting but is not always. Overall, I learned more than I expected.

His class is hard, but he is a good teacher. An 85 is an A. He has a 15 point grading scale. He's funny and always willing to help at office hours. Makes the material really interesting. Worth the work.

Dr. Seals was an excellent teacher. Yes, he is very tough and requires hard work from his students, but is more than willing to help if you go to him for extra help. I had him for Econometrics last Spring and it was my favorite class I took at Auburn. If you give it your best effort you will get a lot out of his class.

Great class. Knowing the terms prior to the start of this class made it extremely easy, he enjoys a joking relationship with the class but primarily teaches to the first 5 rows. Attendance means nothing but it's fun to be there at times. Good luck.

I loved learning from professor Seals! He is not an easy teacher but you can tell he loves what he does. He can be funny and sarcastic and makes things interesting with his examples. Study hard and you will do fine.

Good overall, I barely did anything out of class. Maybe 2-4 hrs all semester and I did well in class. He trys to make it interesting which is helpful. I'd recommend him if your taking microeconomics

Very good teacher. Class is pretty hard but if you go to every class and study the study guides he gives you, you'll do great. Also, do EVERY homework.

Funniest guy.

Definitely a difficult class. He does try to make it fun, but Economics is just simply very dry. Go to class and read the book, and you'll be fine. Tests are TOO hard, but you will fail if you don't come to class.

Dr Seals is the king of gen ed Econ. His love of freedom, and excellent econ class, make him nothing short of a specimen of true Americanism. I'm trying to think of an image to sum up Dr Seals. Imagine a mixture between Fabio and Tom Cruise shirtless on a pedestal waving an enormous American flag in a strong wind and you'll have a pretty good idea.

The tests are very hard! It's mandatory to be in class. He makes the material fun to learn and he has good jokes!

He is an amazing professor. He also helps students who struggle. As long as you attend class you'll do fine.

Great professor. Funny and always kept class interesting.

If you came to college with an idea of not attending a high school class then this is the professor for you. He lectures from his own knowledge. No power points or books! He enjoys the subject and teaches it well. Attend class and take notes bc he makes the exams from his class presentations. I went to his office all the time and always got help.

Test were really hard but it was an 85 for an A and we also got 1 scaled and bonus points. Not a boring guy to listen to either.

Great Professor. He is hilarious, and keeps every class entertaining. My favorite professor at Auburn. Attend class and pay attention because tests are from lecture, and tests are the only grades. That's right, no homework! Awesome class,I highly recommend.

Literally all the information he posts online is relevant and helpful. If you pay attention to the lectures at all you might not even need the online notes though.

This class involves work and high attendance, but you can make it! Take copious notes-also Study Partners helps immensely. I certainly enjoyed this class, but the old tests (which he gives through Canvas) help more than class. However, you really can't skip class. Keep your head up and you can get through it!His grade curve is amazing

Dr. Seals is amazing. If you want to do well in the class and let him know that, he will help you. If not, good luck passing this class.

He acts tough but he just doesn't like to be taken advantage of; he rewards those that work hard but u will HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. One of if not the most challenging classes at auburn.

Probably the most helpful professor I've ever had. The class is hard but if you make an effort and go to office hours, he will do anything he can to help you. He just wants to see that you are trying and that you're interested in his class. He says attendance is optional but if you don't go, you'll fail. Definitely would take him again.

Sooooooooo easy; however, be careful with his wording on exams because it can be confusing sometimes, but no more than any other professor. I never bought the book because I went to class. He puts old exams and topic reviews that are just like exam questions online. No reason to have any trouble with the class. He has dry humor so beware of that.

Seals is hilarious and genuinely wants students to succeed and work hard. Definitely take him if you get the chance

This teacher used to be known for being difficult, but he has really softened up. If you go to class, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll pass. It's honestly difficult to score below a B if you go at least half the time.

I enjoyed his class a lot. Rarely skipped class which really helped my on the tests! Def take him! You will learn a lot but you def have to work for it.

He didnt use PowerPoint but he taught very clearly everything you needed to know for the test and was very responsive to questions.

Dr. Seals is really funny if you're listening, which makes you want to participate in class. I had to miss a lot because of work, had a flakey ass tutor, had never learned anything Economics related in my life, and didn't even buy the textbook. He gives you a ton of resources on canvas to study which made all the difference. 10/10 would recommend

Super funny and really cares about students. The class is hard, but he does a great job of making it interesting and understandable. If you show him that you are willing to work, he will help out and most likely give you a decent grade in the end. I recommend reading the textbook for tests, it helped me a lot.

Dr. Seals is hilarious. He does a great job explaining the content but sometimes he'll get off topic when you ask him a question. He has a lot of stuff on canvas to help you practice for the test and he wants to help you during his office hours. With a little bit of studying the class is an easy A.

Seals is hilarious. He spends a lot of time on all of the topics to help you better understand it. He also posts previous tests and practice problems for the various topics on canvas. Using the concepts he teaches in class and applying them to the practice problems on canvas will help ensure a good grade. Funniest professor I've had so far.

Dr. Seals is by far one of my favorite professors at Auburn. If you show up to class and pay attention, you will make a good grade. He provides lots of great resources on Canvas to study between exams.

Dr. Seals was an amazing teacher for my microeconomics class! I recommend taking him! The notes you take in class will help you tremendously for the exams. The only grades you get for the class are the exams and the final. He offers extra credit and is always available during his office hours! I would definitely take him again!

Dr. Seals is by far one of the best professors I have had at Auburn. He really cares that his students learn the material. His class is lecture based, but he keeps them entertaining. You don't have to go to class, but I recommend it if you want to do well. If you go to him outside of class and put in the work, you are sure to pass.

This was such a fun class. Seals is hilarious and really made me want to come to class. His tests are difficult, but he helps you out a lot if you participate in class and study what he tells you for the test.

Great professor one that I will remember all of my life. Very interactive and helpful outside of class.

Professor Seals is one of the most hilarious and caring professors at this university. His lectures are entertaining and helpful and as long as you listen in class and take notes, it is almost impossible to get less than a B in this class.

Professor Seals is amazing! He was so entertaining during class and explained the material well. He also did study review sessions before all the tests and basically told us what was on the tests. Go to class to learn the material!

Seals was great. Super funny and had review sessions before each test to help out.

I don't think I could have gotten a better professor for such a difficult class. He explains the material very well and holds review sessions to make sure you succeed on tests. He was great and you would be lucky to get to take him for intermediate micro... especially if you are only taking it as a requirement

Seals is great. You definitely need to go to class because there isn't much on Canvas...he draws everything out on the whiteboard. His lectures incorporated understandable examples that were pretty similar to what is on exams. I definitely have a better understanding of micro after taking his class.

Dr. Seals was an amazing professor! He loved student participation in class and appreciated if you went to him for office hours if assistance was needed. Extra credit was offered and beneficial. He is very straightforward with his tests and everything is from his lectures. If you put the time and work in, you will succeed.

As long as you show up to class, pay attention to his lectures, and take notes, you'll be fine. He provides some grade cushion through topic quizzes which you get a 100 on for just attempting, and there are extra credit opportunities. The bulk of your grade comes from the final and midterm, though, so it will take effort to make a good grade.

Seals was a great professor and always made class interesting. For my section, a liberal arts only section, you were only graded on participation grade quizzes (20% of final grade) and a midterm and final. He was fairly generous with grading. The key to success in his class is showing up and participating in class.

Go to his office and show you are putting In the effort. Econ 3020 was killing me and he really went the extra mile and a half to show me what I was doing wrong.

Professor Seals is a hilarious lecturer, but his tests are challenging. Attending class and using resources like the textbook and unstuck ai are key to doing well. His teaching style is engaging, though some find it difficult to translate to exam performance.

Seals is unhinged twitter incarnate. Loved his class, though I had to work really hard (maybe that's why I loved it? and why you should take it?). If you take his class seriously, you're gonna want to switch your major to Econ (because it's actually pretty interesting).

Seals is an incredible (entertaining) professor who cares about his students. This is a difficult class, but he truly wants you to understand the material. There were only two grades (midterm + final). Attendance counts as 20%, occasional surprise bonus points + an extra credit book report. If you're up for the challenge, he will guide you.

Seals is an incredible (entertaining) professor who cares about his students. This is a difficult class, but he truly wants you to understand the material. There were only two grades (midterm + final 40% each). Attendance counts as 20%, and occasional bonus points + an extra credit book report. If you're up for the challenge, he will guide you.

Show up to office hours and express interest in the content, and he'll do a lot to help you. Gave 11 points extra credit on our final and let it take the place of our midterm. Only warning is to get the textbook, it is more test oriented than the lectures.
