I have a 3.7 GPA and this class is extremely challenging.It wouldn't be bad if Tracy was nice.He is a big jerk and he's old so he is set in his ways.Not laid back at all; very authoritarian.He is so boring and not a kind person.I think it's time for him to retire. Don't take his class.

Horrible guy! Insults class, everyone hated him, he didnt care that half class failed, he expected that. Also, very unclear, shows up late all the time, just a nightmare! Avoid if you can. Worst professor i had.

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR! CHANCES ARE YOU WILL FAIL TH ECLASS MISERABLY. In the 3 years that I have attended this college, this is th eworst professor that I have ever had. And I have had som eterribel professors. He gives homework on things that he hasn't even covered yet,

i have never experienced a bigger jerk of a professor than this guy. talk about power trip! this guy gets off on failing people!

WARNING!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH TRACY. He is absoultely an ****. Horrible Lectures, Hard Tests, Doesn't cover everything in class. A 45 % is a 2.0 though so if u can stand an **** as a prof he's okay to take. Prof. Tracy should retire and get outta my nightmares.

TRACY IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE WITH HIM! HORSES ARSE!

This guy is the worst professor ever. Do not take him! He can't teach and is grumpy. He loves using visual statistics but really never explains what he is doig very well or how it applies to the real world. This guy needs to be put out to pasture i cant believe i have to pay for this garbage.

I HATE HIS PROJECTS. I HATE VISUAL STATISTICS. HE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER.

He is totally jerk. Please save your money and don't waste your time. Take majeske he seems hard but he is not. but tracy is just jerk

Put it this way, everytime i walked into class, i would pray that i had a sudden life threating illness so i would be able to be excused. And if i did, the homework would still be due on time. Thats how big of an a$$ he is.

He is ridicously hard and not reasonable at all. Yet he knows what the hell he is doing, but he can't teach us in a way that we can all understand him. However, he is the only professor teaching 405 so you have no choice. Take him hoping to be stressed out for at least three months. You will be happy once it is all over.

Loose Cannon.

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible, can't teach, and doesn't present material clearly. Heavy workload.

seriously the worst teacher ive ever had. he has a heart for the students, but still the subject is not that hard but he makes it impossible to learn.nearly failed the class because of how bad he is at teaching. i had to teach myself the subject to get a passing grade. he goes off topic a lot and cannot focus whatsoever he seriously needs to retire

Everyone flipped out about how hard he was, but if you do your homework (which is a pain) and do decent on everything the class is not bad. Went into the final with a 2.5, and got a 3.0 in the class. Make friends with him if you want to do well, and go to class. He likes when people sit up front (haha even if you sleep)...

Class is impossible. Our averages on our exams were below 50% for each test. Half of the time its on his own opinions. DON'T EVER TAKE HIM.

Normally an econometrics/economics professor but for some reason was teaching my Statistics QMM240 class. Gave way too much homework (busy work) and spent all class lecturing off the top of his head about real world stats examples rather then using the book to answer our questions. Would not recommend this professor to anyone.

This class seriously was so terrible it was unbelievable. There was so much busy work. I spent SO much time doing homework outside of this class. I had no idea how the grading even worked because it was so complicated for no reason. I had no idea what he was talking about in class and how that even related to the book and the class in general.

Want to know about China take this course. His rambles don't make sense and his points are vague. Self taught course with no direction at all.

HIS class sucks. It was the hardest class I had the year I took it. Ronald Tracy is relentless with homework. I felt I didnt have time to learn the material becaue I was so swamped trying to complete the homework and WEEKLY ESSAYS!!

Professor Tracy missed our first class session and didnt tell anyone ahead of time, so I should have seen it coming that he wouldnt be good. Doesnt post grades until end of semester. Slow response time to emails. At the end of semester he felt the need to tell the class how much they sucked through email. Well guess what Tracy, you suck! Avoid!!

Worst econometrics you can possibly have. Gives HW on material you don't how to do because he doesn't teach and curves midterm to compensate for his lack of teaching ability (don't worry, you'll probably fail it). Worst part is this material could have been pretty useful but I didn't learn anything. AVOID AVOID AVOID

I had a VERY hard time learning from the textbook, go to office hours! D on the midterm, A on the paper, E on written hw/in class quizzes, B in everything else, finished with a B+! Super frustrating teaching style, class is already hard enough. Befriend smartest kids, they will help you! He's late 5-30 min everyday. Find data before eval. variables

Incoherent lectures, gets asked a simple question about supply/demand and goes on 10 minute ramble about how Jerome Powell, the news media, and martin Luther king have got it all wrong. Forgets to post and grade assignments and respond rudely students when they remind him in class. Gives vague assignments about topics not covered in class. Avoid.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! The amount of work is insane for only 3 credits, week outline posted Saturday nights and excepted to have done before class monday morning. Only way to learn is to teach yourself because he doesn't lecture and requires you to buy a $100 module in addition to subscription to wsj/bbw. No grades put in so no idea how I'm doing.

First, he assigned egregious amounts of homework for a three credit class. Also, we have to read the textbook on our own time and all his lectures are supplemental to the reading (i.e. he will only talk about material you ask about. If something is in the reading, but not asked about, he will not talk about it, but it will still be on the exam).

Consistently 10-20 minutes late to class and always says that he wishes he had an excuse. The amount of work for this 3 credit class was absurd. There are weekly justifications which have no right answer and every other week there's a wall street journal required that needs to have the same word count as the Declaration of Independence.

I would give him a zero if I could. You have an extreme amount of assignments that he never grades or puts things in the grade book. You have to read the chapters each week and teach yourself. He never responds to emails. You will not know your grade until it is in the grade book because he does not imput things ever. The final is also worth 40%.

Professor Tracy was the worst professor I have ever taken in my entire college career. If you're in his class, SWITCH OUT NOW. Every possible thing he did was terrible. He was 10+ minutes late for every class. He was very repetitive in his lectures and drowned on about nothing. We reported him to the dean and they weren't able to do anything.

This was genuinely the worst class I have ever taken in my life. This class contained at least 10 hours of outside classwork per week, despite it being only three credits. You receive at least 4 assignments per week that might have to do with the actual material on exams. Tracy provided little to no helpful guidance on anything you ask him.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER, always late to class, you get assigned 13+ assignments a week on 3 different websites. Lectures are pointless, just goes over your hw that you turned in that morning that he doesn't even throw in the gradebook. If you mess up a little bit he will make sure you know it, wish i could give him a 0/5.

Worst professor I have ever taken.Very rude and disrespectful.Yelled at a student for standing up during an exam because he skipped him.Doesn't care about his students.Loads of coursework consisting of questions to ask,justifications,and Wall Street Journal essays every week.Averages 10 minutes late class every day. No review for final.

Cant keep his own due dates straight and zero course organization. The two main papers of the course (20+ and 35+ pages each) are built of the previous ones you turn in but he gives no feedback at all even after he promises it weeks ago. Then he has the nerve to email saying some of our research questions are clear less than a week before turn in.

For the love of God please don't make the same mistake I did and take his class just because it was the only in-person section. He isn't capable of doing anything basic required for his job. He makes the class so unbelievably difficult and complicated. He is extremely forgetful and needs to be reevaluated. Would rate negative if I could. Horrible.

The class had little to no organization. Grading did not make any sense. I wasn't able to comprehend much of the material that he taught. He was only on time to two classes. Very disrespectful to student's time and effort. Made little effort to give any feedback on papers. Overall, pick a different professor if you actually want a good education.

This professor is in his 80s. Has absolutely zero business teaching, at least not without an assistant. Has zero clue how to use moodle, gets due dates mixed up, and penalizes you for it. Difficult to talk to and negotiate with, and isn't even the least bit understanding. Also constantly losing papers, which he will also penalize you for.

This professor was bad. super bad so much work for so little reward. if you take this class you will be doing dead work he grades on average only 2/4 of the work he assigned and you have to do it.

There's not enough space to say everything I want but I'll say this...if you take this class you'll struggle no matter what. He runs the class how he wants and doesn't care for your opinion. I highly suggest u ask around before taking his course we'll tell u the TRUTH. Save yourself the tears and the stress of this class it is not worth your time.

This professor would change due dates randomly and assign homework with literally no criteria at all. The page would be completely empty, only the due date and homework title would show. I had a quiz due before class the next day and the questions were not posted at even 9pm so I physically could not take the quiz. Do not take this class.

Professor Tracy is essentially a professor allowed to teach because he has done it longer than any other current professor. As a first impression he showed up to our first class 15 minutes late. Not only that but he is rude and stuck in his own way demanding you turn in paper copies, but proceeds to lose them and faults you for it. Pass on this.

Imagine your most aggravating assignment you've ever done and you'll be doing 20 of those a week with this professor. Then, after you already have to teach yourself, he will belligerently degrade you in front of the entire class if you get one little thing wrong. Not worth it at all!!

-very little learned in his lectures -read the book chapter before class, make 1-5 questions, and turn in a physical copy of those questions, he'll spend the whole lecture just answering questions -frequently late to class -about 5 assignments per chapter,15 chapters total -this is my advice If you want to learn about economics don't take his class

This class is a major headache. The professor is consistently late, disorganized, and makes things unnecessarily difficult. The workload is absurd, with weekly assignments that seem to have no clear right answer. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for staying on top of all the readings and writing. Overall, avoid this class if possible.

Had to take this class for my major. I would rather get m0lested by 10 dudes before I ever take this class again. I would rather be in CEDOT prison.
