Good teacher, he offers links to the texbook website that are very helpful. He is also very helpful and wants you to understand the material. If you make an A in the class you are exempt from the final

Teacher was awesome! Take him, just go to class and S.I. if he has one.

Let's keep in mind that EcoStats is one of the hardest classes that you will take in College. Dr. Phelps will take it easier on you then any other teacher in the department. He is the ONLY ECO STATS TEACHER AT SFA WHO WILL GIVE YOU A PROJECT IN PLACE OF A TEST GRADE. This is huge and makes almost a +1 latter grade. Phelps is the man

He is a good prof. but he does not spoon feed you the material. If u do not understand he is willing to help during office hours. I strongly recommend going to S.I if u can. Try not to miss class, everyday u will need the notes from the lecture. Use your quizzes to study for the test and u will do fine.

Teaching skills are great, but could slow down a bit when going through the power points. Starts off good then somehow begins to speed up. Might be that he gets into his lesson?

Great teacher. take this class... you will get an A if u study.

Great professor. He relates what you're studying to everyday life which I think really helps. He likes to keep the mood of the class happy and likes to joke around. Take the SI, attend class, and study, and you'll have a guaranteed A. Oh, and don't forget the notecards that are due every once in a while over a Macroeconomices subject, they help out

The professor welcomes questions and will answer them fully without any smart remarks.

I really like Dr Phelps teaching style. He goes through the material quickly and efficiently and makes a somewhat difficult subject more easily understood.

Dr. Phelps is truely educated on the subject of macroeconomics. His teaching methods may make the class hard, but I'm walking away with a lot of basic economic knowldege. When taking his 231 macroeconomics course, I'd recommend matching the textbook with his in class notes. If you fall behind he's very willing to help you learn outside of lecture.

He is a great down to earth teacher. I took him for Macro and I liked him so much I'm considering taking him for Micro. Have fun.

He and the class were alot of fun. He made it enjoyable and knew alot about what he was teaching. He had a fun personality and i liked his sense of humor. He like everything about his class

He's very helpful if you go to his office. His test are really hard same with quizzes. Do all the homework and notecards. It will help your grade! His reviews are really hard and he doesn't give you the answers. Read the book do the my Econ lab and go to si!

Nice teacher and will help you when needed. Makes the class fun and interesting!

This class is very interesting because of the professor. He has a few jokes to go along with lecture so it makes it worth coming daily. Homework and test are a piece of cake. TAKE HIM!

He is a great Professor, knows what he's teaching. You still need to do myEcon Lab, note cards are great. His exams and quizzes are hard but go to SI, myEcon Lab, and look over your quizzes you'll do just fine. Go to office hours he will help you.

He is a great Professor. He'll help you when you come to his office hours. The test and quizzes are hard but if you go to myEcon Lab, review your quizzes, and look over your review you should do fine.

he is a good teacher i should have applied myself a little more than i did. helps anyone who helps themselves.

Test and quizzes are hard but overall really good teacher

I really enjoy this class, and I always knew if i needed extra help I could get it.

definitely my favorite teacher of the semester/year. very dedicated to helping his students as long as they work for it. great examples and overall just a great teacher. very sharp guy

He is a great professor if you allow him to be. If you show up to class, take notes, and apply youself you will do just fine.

He's a good professor. If you don't understand ask and he will offer assistance. We spent a whole class going over the tax system because some people didn't get it. He's a good teacher you just have to apply yourself. He is strict to his grades though and offers "extra credit" which is a review that you can choose to do. It will help you on the tes

very good instructor

Professor Phelps loves seeing his students succeed and definitely loves the subject he teaches. Also, he grades HW on completion rather that correctness, so if you do the HW then you'll get the points from it.

He's a good teacher.

Dr. Phelps is overall a good teach. The rating I left may not seem like it, but he really is. The class itself is hard, but he does a great job of teaching. He can be full of himself at times, but he is real cool. I would recommend him if you are serious about learning. Attendance is NOT mandatory, but you I advise you NOT to miss a day!

Great instructor will sit down and help you. Just wants his students to succeed and learn the material.

Hard class good teacher willing to help if you ask questions and go to his office. He teaches very fast at times and missing his class to much will cause you to fail.

Dr. Phelps teaching style is very profund and he display a great knowledge on what he is teaching. Dr. Phelps makes the teaching fun, and easy to learn. He does it in a way where we grasp the knowledge and apply it to our daily life. Dr. Phelps is a great teacher

He can be very helpful so long as you go to his office with questions, otherwise he doesn't know how to help. The material he covers is very hard so regardless be prepared to study.

He is a great professor if you pay attention. I sat in the front of the class and met with the SI instructor regularly and for high B's on my tests. If you take him prepare to study for each exam, but don't waste your time buying the book. He provides all the notes you need in class.

Dr. Phelps is a great professor. Very helpful when you seek him in and out of the classroom. His pedagogy is very appropriate for the class. He really wants you to learn the material. Expect to put time into the class

Dr. Phelps is a great professor and truly loves to be in a classroom. He will help and work with you, but you have to take the incentive.

Dr. Phelps is a great teacher! I enjoyed this class a lot and he his very helpful and explains the material very well.

Makes things more complicated than they need to be sometimes. Most things could be explained in simpler terms but he tends to dress it up too much.

This class was better than I expected. The material was challenging, but he made sure that you understand it before he moves on. The material would be easier to comprehend if his slide shows were able to be printed off.

I really enjoyed your class.I think it would have helped if your power points were available to be printed out that way we could focus more on what you are doing on the board

By far the most difficult class i have ever taken, however, Dr. Phelps knows the material very well and his teaching method will make you learn the lessons taught. Great professor although his class is hard. By reading the book after each class and getting together with study groups there should be no problem in passing his class.

Very good class. He wants you to learn the material well, but if you don't want to then stick with the other high school-level courses that are available. I really enjoyed the real life applications we discussed. He does not waste time, attendance not mandatory, and the book is not completely necessary.

I loved him!! He was also very helpful during his office hours. His SI group was very helpful and the tutor for his class was great! I would definitely recommend taking him for ECO 231!!

This class is no where near easy unless you have a thing for economics,but other than that attendance and the use of your book is very detrimental.

the class started off pretty straight-forward, but got way harder. if this stuff doesnt just come naturally to you, you HAVE TO put in extra time and yes, crack your textbook open. but dr phelps is a cool guy, and he's very helpful!

Dr. Phelps is very helpful. He is very clear with his lectures and what he expects from us. He keeps the class interesting and fun as well. I wasn't excited about economics before school started, but after I was in Dr. Phelps class, I actually liked it. I highly recommend taking Dr. Phelps!

The test is not that easy, you have to study hard, go to SI a lot, go to his office. all information you learn you better understand rather than rember them. However, Dr.Phelps is very helpful, but make sure you read the chapter before go to see him, cuz if you don't read it, it is really hard for him to help understand better.

Good professor and good teaching style. This course is one in which you either fully undertand it or you don't. There is no gray area when it comes to the study of economics. Even after discovering late in the semester I did not even need this class, I still worked hard.

Phelps is a great professor, I looked forward to his class. Reading the section in the book before class makes understanding the lecture a piece of cake. My SI was also very helpful! The tests are not easy but he gives excellent quizzes which cover the majority of the questions on the test. I would recommend him to my friends.

Professor Phelps is very helpful. He explains the material and makes sure you understand it. He has office hours. I loved the fact that he has S.I. It helped me alot for the class.

Dr. Phelps is a very good professor. He is knowledgeable, passionate about his field, and engaging. He challenges the student. I have enjoyed his class very much, and look forward to taking more courses with him in the future. Frankly, I wish all of my professors were of his caliber. Recommend him highly.

Dr. Phelps will absolutely be committed to your success as a student--as long as you are committed to his class. He is the kind of professor that will meet you halfway, but demands your respect. To do well: SHOW UP, take advantage of office hours, read the book, be engaged in class discussion whenever possible.

Great teaching style. Makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on to the next topic. Online quizzes are a little challenging but if you go into his office he will help you. SI section helps a lot, along with showing up to class and taking notes everyday. Tests are not hard at all if you study notes, and go to SI.

Dr. Phelps is a pretty good and humerous professor. I hope to have another professor that teaches as good as he does.

Great professor who wants everyone to succeed. And there's a very helpful SI twice a week!

He is a good professor

I found his passion very inspiring. Unfortunately I did not focus enough energy towards his class however Economics, 8:00 in the morning, fourth floor (stairs only for this young lady), wa my most enjoyable class of the semester.

if you take good notes and go to si, you should fine. Alsoat the end of the semester he drops your lowest quiz grade and exam grade!

Good teacher. Makes subject interesting. Great advisor re majors etc. Reliable in the way he teaches, systematic. Tests are challenging, but he always gives review sheets to help you prepare. Highly recommend him.

Great teacher, he actually had me interested in what he was saying! He does not count attendance against you but you will need to be there if you plan on keeping up in the class. Stay organized and pay attention and you can easily make a good grade. Plus he is always ready to help during his office hours.

Overall Good Professor. Tests aren't too hard as long as you study.

Very challenging class but not too bad to do well. I went to SI constantly throughout the semester and did well on my exams. Have to do one major project but with a group, it is hard at first but then it becomes understandeable and easier. He kinda goes too fast and seems to be a little cranky in the morning. you need the book for the beginning.

Pay attention and you will Pass.

Although Dr. Phelps seems like a nice man and professor, I just never could fully understand what was being taught. I guess economics just isn't my thing. However, this is still a good course with a professor who genuinely seems interested and knowledgable when it comes to economics.

I loved Dr. Phelps! He obviously loves what he teaches and although his tests are tough he prepares you well for them. If you put in enough time there is no reason not to pass.

Great professor! Talks kind of fast when he gets excited about the material but will slow down if asked. He loves what he does and he prepares you well for the class. Pay attention and you will do well!

I loved Dr Phelps! He was an excellent teacher and really made me enjoy economics.

Professor Phelps has really gotten me interested in learning about Statistics. He brings his 100% every day to the classroom and expects everyone else to as well. This class is difficult yet, rewarding.

Great Professor! Really cares about his students

Get teacher just have to keep up with his book and I recommend SI.

He is very helpful and will answer any questions or uncertainities you may have with the material.

The professor is available after class hours to students.

He is funny

He is a great professor!

Class is very hard if you are not an encon major. I struggled, but Phelps provided help whenever I asked, The SI is also very helpful, it was my key to passing the course.

Phelps is an excellent professor. I watched him countless times engage the guy sitting next to me, who would literally give effort to not care, to impress the girl next to him. Yet the intrigue on his face come class end. He has a firm understanding of his students and profession. Don't mistake my words.To Phelps, responsibility lays solely on you.

dont think i could have picked a better eco stats professor

Although he is a good teacher, he is not very nice. Packet he makes you buy REALLY helps, first test is the hardest so make sure you really study that! And go to class.

good summer class. It was a lot of material for the summer, but I'm glad I took it from him.

The packet he puts together for the class is GREAT!! .. It will help you TREMENDOUSLY!! .. If you don't understand -- ASK! He is always open to answer -- But be prepared to think. He wants to help each student understand Eco Stats. Go to SI for additional help (ANDREW IS AMAZING!). Apply yourself - A 'C' effort will get a 'C' grade!

If you came to class and paid attention and weren't on your phone the whole time and actually put in the work, he was a great teacher and had a very interesting class. I would definitely recommend it to other business majors. Good speed, good teaching, good material. I enjoyed the class.

Great professor, very helpful. If you attend every class, and do the homework,you should be fine.

Dr. Phelps is a really good teacher. I had him for Eco 231 and I really like the way he taught, so I took him for Eco 339. He gives you a packet that we take notes in which is really good and helpful. This class is not as hard as long as you go to every class and take notes. Participate in class in order to help better understand the material.

hard class but SI really helps

Fun class. I would highly recommend reading the chapters before arriving to class. Dr. Phelps uses interesting supplemental information (nice to use something other than the textbook) to make the class more interesting. If you read, go to class, and put in decent effort you'll do fine.

I came into this class very intimidated and uninterested. I am leaving feeling like what I learned was both interesting and useful. Dr. Phelp's notebook that we used for class is very innovative. Instead of spending the entire class writing notes and trying to keep up, I was able to fill in the notebook and pay closer attention to the concepts.

Great teacher. Great attitude. Very easy to talk to. Helpful outside of class/office hours. SI is also very helpful for his class. BUT!!! Make sure you are in class and listen and take good notes. You will need lecture notes to pass tests. I have no interest in Eco at all but had to take it is req. for my degree. I will finish with A or B.

I really liked this class. The key to passing his test is taking good notes and if you dont understand something just ask questions.

Dr. Phelps's class isn't easy, but he's a great professor. If you're an economics major be sure to take him. He tries his best to help you and he's very passionate about the subject material. I liked him a lot.

Overall an enjoyable calss

The class isn't easy but if you put in the work you will get a good grade. He interacts with students when teaching to reassure students are learning. Overall, he's a great professor.

The effort and time you put into his class will reflect your grade. If you want to learn, Phelps is the man to take.He is passionate about teaching and pushes his students to think bigger!

Very tuned into the class and the understanding you have to be successful.

great guy

Phelps is very good at speaking, however his exams are very hard. Studying, SSI, Office hours, and Homework is a MUST, if you do not understand the subject. Homework is an easy way to raise your grade so DO it, he does not make you come to class, however you will NOT understand much by just looking at your notes. Great teacher and super helpful.

Good professor! Will explain material if you ask. Expects you to actually participate in class. Show up and pay attention and do homework assignments and you should do fine.

Very good professor, loves for you to ask questions and come by his office hours. The only outside work your required to do is aplia which will help. His test are sometimes difficult but he takes feedback in how he can reword the test to help. He's very helpful and I highly recommend taking him

The class itself is tough, but Dr. Phelps does a good job of making the material understandable, as long as you attend class and commit yourself to the material.

A really good professor, very helpful and tries to make the class as fun as possible.

Dr. Phelps is an great teacher with effective teaching methods. You will learn a lot and also pass just do the work!!

Over all he is a good teacher. I enjoyed the class but almos everyone else hated the class. Test are half M/C and half work out and he is a tough grader. If you pay attention in class andgo to SI you should do very well in the class. Oh and there is a group paper that is kinda hard but it is not imposible

great teacher go to class and you will get a good grade.

His tests are hard if you don't take good notes, write down everything on the power points as well as side notes he says and you will be fine. All multiple choice and the online homework rally helps. definitely take him if you get the chance!

If you take good notes, be prepared with the chapters already read you will do just fine. Online homework assignments are crucial. I totally recommend him.

Awesome professor! He's definetely into economics as a whole and is excited for students to learn about it as well. If you need clarity on anything feel free to ask him. Class participation in discussions really helps when grasping new concepts. Do the online homework and his review quizzes he posts and it will definetely help you out.

Good at teaching in a one-on-one setting but can be slightly confusing in class. Definitely attend office hours if you don't fully grasp the concepts.

Phelps was a great teacher one on one but got confusing in class. The online homework is very helpful, but can confuse you on the tests. Take him over the others, just be sure to go in and talk to him when you can. He really does care about the students. GO TO CLASS!

He's a good professor.

Good profesor.

good teacher. made the class easier as he could for someone like me.

Overall he is a pretty good teacher. He only lectures with PowerPoint and the home work is online. It's not a very easy class but hard work will get you a good grade. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go to class it's really hard to do good on the exams. He is really helpful if you just ask him.

Dr. Phelps is a really good professor. He's really nice and wants to help his students succeed in the class. He always offers help to the students and always wants you to come to him for questions. I recommend doing so because it will help you a lot in the class. I regret not doing it but overall he's a great professor.

I would recommend Dr. Phleps to anyone. Great teacher and great guy. He is passionate about what he does and that comes across in class and his willingness to help students outside of class. Go to class, take good notes and take advantage of his help during office hours and you will do well.

He is arrogant, but not a bad teacher. Not a blow off class. Attend as much as you can and ask questions. Look over the homework before class. Go to his office hours. He has an SI too. If you're confused he'll go over more examples, more graphs. He's goes too fast sometimes, but just let him know and he'll slow down. He encourages participation.

He was great but the material is difficult for some. Main advice I must give is to pay attention at the beginning of the semester to get the full basic and thought process of an economist. Do the aplia online and read the chapter because he ask question that make you think.

Dr. Phelps is very helpful and it obvious he loves teaching economics. The class can be challenging at times, especially because of the terminology but as long as you ask questions he will be willing to explain

Very good professor who loves teaching. Very passionate to his career and also helpful if you ask. He wants you to like the subject as much as he does! Just wish I did.

He is a great prof. He makes time for his students and makes it easy to understand.

He was an overall good professor, but seemed like he expected you to get the material a lot more quickly than you could, if you struggle the way I do with economics. His tests were fairly easy, you just had to study a LOT to get a good grade.

He's an intresting character

This subject is tough, but he will help you in any way he can to help you get a good grade in the class.

I honestly don't have any complaints about the class.

Nice guy. It may not seem like it, but he really does love helping students. If you get lost, look back over the packet or read the relating lessons from the book and go see him in his office. He will help. There is a project, but don't stress. It is broken into small sections. He loves helping with these. Packet & SI will help with the 3 tests.

Dr. Phelps loves what he teaches and you can clearly tell that! This helps with learning the material. The workbook you are required to purchase is key to passing the class. Going to his office hours is also great when you are confused.

Great teacher and really knows his information. Just a hard subject! You have to have time to dedicate to really understanding the information.

Red booklet of notes offered by Dr Phelps is absolutely necessary.

Dr. Phelps style pf teaching is different then other professors but the man knows his stuff. If you are lost he is wiling to help, just go to his office. I would recommend going to every class and taking notes and reading over them regularly. If you can do that you'll be fine.

Dr. Phelps is an excellent professor. Do not expect to breeze through without doing the work. Comprehension is key. GO to the SI, it's helpful. Read, re-read, ask questions, participate. If you don't understand something, ASK! Take the time to study and work through the graphing thoroughly. Overall, I learned a lot and would take Dr. Phelps again.

He has good informative power-points and spends lots of time on each slide to make sure you have all the information copied down. When he elaborates on a subject though he is not always clear and assumes we already understand the background knowledge.

Great class. Take him.

Professor Phelps is overall a great professor. The subject matter can be very boring, but thanks to him it's not. He really takes what he teaches and applys it to everyday life and that in itself makes the work you have to put in so worth it. 3 Exams, 15 Online Homework assignments, and 2 quizzes.

Great teacher, knows what he is talking about, easy class if you stay on top of homework and readings. Do test reviews all information that is there is on the test and if you have any questions email him or go into his office he is extremely helpful to students that need it. Funny guy and wants to see all his students do extremely well.

Very informative, made complex concepts simple.

Dr. Phelps is incredibly smart and expects the best from his students. Reading is 100% necessary to do well in the class. Go by his office hours! He is very helpful, and wants to make sure that you understand. His office hours are helpful and I sincerely regret not talking to him about my confusion earlier in the semester. Overall great professor!

Dr. Phelps has a good sense of humor and encourages class participation and discussion. He presents information in multiple ways to help individuals connect with material.

Dr. Phelps is great teacher. He knows what he's talking about, and breaks it down for you. The material is tough, and you need to pay attention. I took it in Summer 1 and it was a lot of infer really fast. Just read everyday over your notes, and ask questions. He will help, but you have to do your part. READ THE PACKET! IT WILL SAVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a really funny guy, and he makess the lectures enjoyable. Make sure you work in this class though. Its not one you can sleep through for sure. There is homewor but its not that bad. Make sure you study hard for test. Take this class. He is one of my favorite professors

Take good notes and read the chapters and you are golden

Explains the material well, gives you a good chance at passing.

I took this professor for ECO Stats 339. Its a really tough class but he goes through it at a good pace and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. We had one group project that counted the same as a test, so it could possibly save your grade.

Tough teacher but if you pay attention it pays off

My class shrunk significantly as people kept dropping. Class attendance is necessary to pass. Quizzes are online and in class. They are clear set over specific portions of class notes. Same goes with tests. Class notes are fill in the blank from custom book (buy it). Know the material and pass. 1 tough project and 4 tests one is a Cumulative final.

No stats class is gonna be easy, and this class is no exception.

teacher gave me and the other students every opportunity to pass. if you don't do well in his class you either slacked off, got too cocky, or this course just isn't for you. because Phelps is hands down the best teacher i have ever had

Always offering assistance and try to make the class as interesting as eco class could. Easy to pass if you come to class.

I thought he was a great professor! You do need to study but if you go to class and review the notes you'll definitely pass and make at least a B. He explains things great and since this was the first time we used computers for this class we made full use of excel. You'll definitely learn a lot by the time your done.

If u look away for 30 seconds, u WON't understand the rest of class one bit he moves very fast. So be prepared. He acknowledges his speed and tells us to "practice before class". Also, he may put a negative vibe on getting the book, But I warn you if you don't get that book and read ahead starting before day 1 u will be screwed. He's smart though

The class is very interesting but demanding. You need to keep on top of your online assignments. His PowerPoints are very helpful so try to write as much as you can. Do not skip class

Dr. Phelps is a very funny person and was a fun class to take. He is very eager for his students to do well, if they ask for his help. He will allow you to not take the final is you have an A at the end of the third test. He also drops a couple of grades from each section of his course(quiz, test, alia). Overall, I enjoyed his class.

Professor Phelps is BEYOND helpful.. The material is HARD, but he does everything he can to make it understandable. He answers ALL questions quickly and is eager to help. I highly recommend his class if math/econ is NOT easy for you. I struggle with both but learned a lot.

Take Phelps. He uses excel for all the math which is awesome because not every teacher does. Skip one class and you'll be lost forever.

Eco stats is not an easy class for a lot of people. Dr. Phelps works hard to make it understandable & is always willing to help a student (if you are putting in the work, yourself). Heavy excel use in his course, so it will help to at least have the basics of excel down before this class. Fair and caring professor. Be ready to put in time & effort.

Economics, especially applied statistics, is not one of my strong suits; but this prof did a good job explaining the content.

This class is very difficult, but Dr. Phelps is a great professor. Anytime I had a question or an issue, he was prompt in getting back to me. His note packet was VERY HELPFUL!

Attendance isn't mandatory and showing up to class helps a lot (for notes), but what got me through was going to SI. There will be times where he can go through certain information a bit fast, but going to his office hours or SI and both help. You have to work for the grade you want. There are several little homework grades, and 3 tests & a final.

Loved this class. It's seems pretty scary in the beginning, but after a few weeks you will feel much better about the class. Tests are a big percentage of your grade so studying essential.

Course uses excel heavily. If your decent at math and excel you can get by not going to every class. Multiple chances on homework and he gives practice test exactly like the real exam. Kind of arrogant in class, but if you go to his office hours he's a nice guy. Go to class, pay attention and put in a little effort your almost guaranteed to pass

This is an excel heavy class. That being said he does a good job of teaching you the basics of excel and making sure the class is keeping up. You have to do work outside of the class to understand the material, but its not too bad IMO. If you are willing to put the time into the class you can do well. 4 tests, homework about every week. All online

Watch all the videos and take good notes in the packet! Have a monitor you can use other than the one you are already using, having excel open on another screen is amazing!

I took this course over the summer and it was very difficult. However, Phelps is a great instructor and it is not his fault that the class was so difficult. It was difficult because of the massive amount of material to learn within the short summer coarse. In a fall/spring semester it might be easier.

The class was very helpful especially with all of the things we learned with excel.

I learned more in Dr. Phelps' course than any of my other classes. Although his class is tough, it has been very beneficial.

Phelps is the best option for ECO339. While the class is somewhat tough, the exam prep's he gives you before each exam make it a very doable class.

Great prof/learned alot. Tough class but if you keep up the online lectures & practice the online HMWK until you completely understand then you will do fine on exams. I will admit that he goes over a lot of info in the lectures, very helpful for me to be able to pause the videos as I took notes. Note packet & exam preps a must. Final 30% of grade.

DO NOT TAKE ECO STATS ONLINE. I cannot stress this enough!! I am good at statistics, however, taking this class online was a mistake. It is absolutely inefficient and you are missing out on so many benefits of being in class with Dr. Phelps. I failed this course online, but when I retook this class the next semester, in person, I did much better.

This class was by far my favorite class at SFA. Dr. Phelps was helpful when needed and would answer questions in and out of class. Quite a few Kahoot quizzes, 12 homework assignments, 3 projects(not hard), 3 tests, 1 graded exam prep, 1 final. Do the exam preps for all of the exams. Fill out the booklet in class and study it. Go to Class

Great professor! Heavy lectures, but extremely helpful for the material we reviewed. Highly recommend for students that are motivated, disciplined and willing to do the work.

I took this class online in a summer session, and I made an A. If you are inclined to both math and excel, you will do great. This class is all about time management and participation. I work full time and have no children, but I can see where people can struggle to get through. The test are fairly easy if you do the homework. I learned a lot.

I'm not a great student, so this course was very hard for me. I did not study very much outside of class besides doing the homework. I relyed on being 100% focused in class and participating to pass. The tests are dummy easy. The excel templates make everything very easy to get good test grades. Great professor, very caring, very FAST!

This was not an easy subject for me, but Dr. Phelps makes himself available if needed. The class videos were extremely informative and the note packet is such a valuable way to learn the information and have a reference to keep after the class. You will be required to learn the content to excel. You will earn the grade you work for.

Enjoyed the class

Economics is generally tough for everyone. I studied and put a lot of study hours in to then have a D average in all of my exams. I wound up passing the class (barely) but it is still a fun class to take. He is always one email or office hour conference away. He is very knowledgeable on the subject its truly that economics is just a hard class.

This class covers a lot of detail. It is essential that you do not miss class. Just one day missed and you wont know whats going on. Youre in good hands tho. Dr. Phelps is really good at explaining things and helping you to understand.

Prof Phelps is tough but he does prepare you to pass. You must watch lecture videos and participate in all the data files. Do the exam preps!! those are usually guides to what is on the exam. I started out rough not knowing anything but just breathe its really not so bad.

Nice Guy. The lectures are very heavy. I spent more time in the material for this class than any other. I will say though, if you watch the videos (go to class) you will learn the material better, and your grade will be higher. He is very quick to respond to your questions and emails.

You need to be prepared for this course. Dr. Phelps expects a lot from his students and is willing to assist, as long as you've done your part. He expects that you have already read the material coming into class and, therefore, does not coddle students. Unless you are strong in statistics, be ready to spend plenty of time working. Learned a lot!

Like all you must ASK QUESTIONS! He doesn't record the lectures or allows you access to the slides, so being in class matters a lot in order to pass, sure you can read the textbook but no one does that. He actually wants you to learn but you have to work for your grade, there are review sheets available on D2L and the chapters are out of order.

If you attend class then you will get most of the information for every test. Some of the information will come from the text book but he outlines everything you will need to know and gives advance notice of when homework is due and quizzes.

As long as you follow along the lectures, this class will be easy. He grades super fair and replies quickly when you reach out to him. I was able to understand the course material better in this course than my statistics and probabilities a few semesters ago.

Professor Phelps was by far the best teacher I had all semester, and made me want to learn about economics.

Excellent professor who keeps the class engaged. Provides a "self study guide" for every chapter assigned and it is for a grade. Also has homework over every chapter. Attend class, take good notes, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Overall a great prof and would take again.

I enjoyed ECON 1101-002 course with Dr. Phelp. He was a great mentor to have in this field, and I feel I learned a lot. His knowledge in this career is vast, and he challenged us to work harder. He is thorough in explaining the coursework and is always willing to answer questions.

I took ECON1101-002 with Dr. Phelps and can say that his course was beneficial and would love to take another course with him as the professor. I have learned so much, and he was very helpful and made sure we understood all he presented in the course. His class has opened up opportunities I was unaware of that can help my career.
