I found tests hard, but they are straight from his notes. No assigend homework, but you have to keep up. No projects.

Test are hard but attendence can boost your grade. Not bad of a teacher

Knows his stuff. Very helpful and explains things clearly. The course itself is very difficult but he explains clearly and is a great professor. Very fair. Can have a formulas only sheet on exam and attendance points are a great help.

Tough class to start out your MBA on. Topics were very interesting and useful. You will learn plenty, but have to work hard to earn an A.

Good Professor, very helpful. Gives practice tests and tests from the lecture and hw. do the hw cause it is an important part of your grade.

Best econ teacher I've had at this school (and I've had a lot). He actually knows what he's talking about and knows how to convey it to his students. Memorize definitions and wording of phrases exactly and study hard though

If you go to class and take god notes... you'll do just fine!! He lays out what is goin to be on the test... I didn't crack the book the entire semister.. good teacher and cool dude.

Awesome professor! He tells you what will be on the exam. Study those things and attend class regularly and you will have no problem in the class. Never used the book ... homework was only for your benefit.

He is a really good teacher! His quizzes are word for word his notes and tests are ok, you just need to read the book a little. Go to class and extra points are added to your FINAL grade. GREAT! One of the best teachers I've had at UNCC so far! =)

Great teacher, tells you what will be on test exactly, gives extra credit for attendence, don't have to take final unless you need it to replace another grade, very smart man

extra credit for attendance, drops lowest grade... he covers the material quickly, which keeps it from getting boring and repetative... hard but fair... always friendly when you stop by his office with ?'s... i made it out with an A

Excellent teacher and nice guy. Expects folks to work, so that creates a problem for some students. Expects people to actually prepare for class by doing homework and stuff.

Great teacher, tells what will be on tests, expects you to do hw every night, extra credit for attendence and curves at end of semester

If you are an Econ major, and you've already had econometrics, ECON 3125 is an EASY class. If you're not an Econ major, take Krapl.

He is one of the best professors in the ECON department. He gives a lot of extra points for coming to class and his tests are straight from the notes. He even tells word for word what three questions on the test will be.

Great professor. He understands the art of the pith. He tells you what you need to know, then cuts you loose. Tests are a challenge, but do the homework and they're not bad. Very enjoyable class when I initially dreaded taking Managerial Econ.

Great teacher. He gives extremely clear and detailed notes. The material will take some time to grasp. However, if you memorize the notes, and can perform all the homework problems without referring back to the notes, you will have no problem earning an A.

The best teacher i have had at UNCC, he is so nice to everyone and will help you with anything, tells you exactly what will be on test and gives a big bonus at the end of class for attendance.

I had him for both managerial econ and econometrics. You should take him for both, the first class might be harder than you would like but the next will be ez because the classes are simular. I thought that he was a great teacher i made A's in both of his classes. also the summer econometrics class was ez b/c of the alotted time went fast.

These people complaining must NOT have done their homework-it's that simple-I had him as an undergrad and now in grad school- his test come straight from lecture and homework- never any surprises- VERY interesting & business savvy guy. You should do great if you are not lazy. His ECON topics make real world sense and can actually be applied.

Know the class notes, read what he asks, and PRACTICE all of the problems (know the material) and you will do fine. Very interesting, and is very intelligent. One of the few professors at this school that actually knows what he is talking about, not just putting on a show.

Comes off kind of mean at first, but warms up later. Tests are straightforward- if you keep up with the homework you'll do fine. He is sometimes hard to follow in class, so read the book to ensure understanding. My only complaint about him is that he will NOT go over homework during class. You form groups for that. Otherwise not bad, I made an A.

Dr. Madsen is the absolute stuff. No dobut he is one of the best professors at this university. The course is difficult, but if you did OK in STAT then you should not have too much trouble, plus Dr. Madsen makes it so much easier that in could be. He is the most approchable professor I have ever had and would absolutly take him again.

He is great at explaining the material. But his test are not multiple choice or True/false. You have to know everything and be able to write definitions and show all work and interpretations on the test. The only bad thing is that it can be a lot of material to remember for the test.

His tests are hard, you should be ready for everything on them as EVERY QUESTION is almost identical to homework problems, his tests are no joke, you will write til your hand falls off or times up... STUDY!!! You need to pay attention to every little thing he says! He is GREAT! Can be intimidating sometimes... Take him if you really want to learn!

Very hard but very clear. He is one of the best teacher I have ever had. You definately know what is expceted the first day. You either make it or break it! :)

This teacher is very straight to the point. Unlike most teachers who baby the kids that don't get it...he will go on and then help them AFTER class when it is appropriate to help them instead of dragging the class on longer than it should go! Very awesome teacher and very eager to help AFTER class.

Dr. Madsen is a good professor. He tries his best to explain this as clearly as possible, as the material can be confusing and difficult to understand. Overall he is an effective teacher. However, he always tends to get annoyed if he has to answer a question during his lecture and his annoyance is quite apparent.

The best professor I have ever taken. Clearly explains everything, and tests only on what is covered. I did not think the material was that hard because he explained it so well. Do not pass on the opportunity to take him, he is a GREAT professor.

Very thorough professor, EVERYTHING on his tests come from his notes. Gives extra credit for attendance. Grade consists of homework, tests, and two fairly easy projects.

Dr. Madsen is an excellent professor. He is extremely approachable and very kind.

Classes are lecture filled and BORING. Ideas not conveyed well. No powerpoints, but writes on boards and draws charts. Gives extra credit for attendance. Tests pretty hard. I'm an A- student and first test I got a 74, next tests got 84 and 84. I'd avoid this prof is possible. He's not the worst, but surely not the best.

He's a likeable guy. Knows his stuff. He does a decent job at teaching hard stuff. Tests aren't the easiest things in the world but he gives extra credit for perfect attendance.

Labor Econ: Pretty tough class. 3 required books but tests heavily weighted on the actual textbook. He doesn't teach a whole lot in class but assigns homework that is very pertinent to the material you'll be tested on. I would recommend for any econ major, especially those who like micro, but be prepared to study for the A.

I took 3112 before 3125, which is much harder, and it made 3125 very easy. He is an AMAZING teacher. Go to class, do the HW, and study them for the tests, and they are cake. They may be lenghty, but if you know your stuff, they are easy. Attendance counts BIG, and being able to memorize stuff will helpout huge. Take him, you won't regret it!

He is very hard, tests are lengthy and hard, MUST do all homework which is graded, absolute stickler for grading, 2 rather easy projects but they help your grade a lot, must buy book. Nice guy, knows his stuff better than you could imagine! I actually liked the class towards the end and learned a lot.

He is a Good teacher! Attend class...He gives extra credit for attending class at the end of the semster. The material is very hard, so I would recommend studying and reading the book. He does not give you notes, the only notes he gives is on the board during class.

This is the second class I've had with him both classes are essay tests but if you go to class, study and read the book you can get an A like I did. If your lazy then forget it, you can learn a lot from him.

He is a good teacher! Attend class...He gives extra credit for attending class at the end of the semster. The material is tough, so definitely studying and reading the book. He does not give you notes, the only notes he gives is on the board during class.

Go to class, copy everything, memorize it, do the homework and make an A. Anything less than this and your grade will show it. He won't baby you. If you don't want to go to class drop this class asap

You will not leave this class without acquiring the essential tools necessary to make sound economic decisions related to your business. The professor is very inspiring, entertaining, and knowledgable!

If you read your book, study the notes, and are good at memorizing, you should come out with at least a B in this class. He does not give multiple choice tests and tends to take off points for inconsequential things, so be thorough. Other than that, he was a good teacher; I learned a lot from him.

He is the pickiest teacher I have ever had. With that said, his class was actually incredibly interesting and useful. Do the homework, attend class, and put time into your 2 projects and you should get an A or B easily. Easy tests but he will take off points left and right if your wording is not EXACTLY how he likes it.

Study, pay attention, and do the homework. For exams do the homework again to study.
