very helpful and makes boring material interesting. the only prof who teaches with real world applications. i can actually use what i learn in the real world.

GREAT guy

He is the best econ teacher at emory!

The most amazing professor at Emory. I highly recommend taking any of his courses and getting to know him as a person.

Best Econ professor at Emory. He cares more about his students than any professor I have ever met

great teacher! I love his class!

I LOVE HIM! HE IS MY FAVORITE TEACHER! HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AND WILL DO EVERYTHING TO HELP YOU DO YOUR VERY BEST!

he's one of the best professors I've ever had.

Good person, not the most clear.

His class is the best!

If you love mathematical abastract thinking of the real world problem, he is a good teacher to lead you into that world.

Amazing!

Great Professor. Best teacher I have had in the Economics Department. Really cares about his students. Classes are interesting and engaging. Always willing to help during office hours. Weekly homework assignments on aplia really reinforce the concepts learned and class. Take Dr. Banerjee if you want to really learn economics.

he is awesome i recommend strongly. best economics teacher i ever had.

Shomu is a great teacher, he is fun and easy to understand. Don't ask stupid questions, he will get mad..but that is only if you ask REALLY stupid questions. He gives a practice exam to you that is almost identical to his real exams. Attendance isn't mandatory, but there are quizzes almost every day.

Nice guy, very helpful, must come to classes to do well, go to office hours seem interested, wants you to do well, exams are definitely not easy but if you do lecture notes, hw, come to class, you are good to go

Awesome professor! I highly recommend taking his econ 101 and econ 201 classes. The tests are pretty straight forward. Most of the questions are identical or very similar to the practice problems.

I really liked his class. He gives a ton of help and practice tests from the last semester. He really tries his hardest for his students.

Dr. Banerjee is the best professor I have had so far.

Great professor! Very enthusiastic about what he teaches and wants his students to succeed. Although intimidating at first and class is stressful he is very helpful inside and outside of the classroom! Great person too!

Really great professor. I learned a lot from him.

GREAT teacher! Definitely take any of his courses. Not too stressful of a workload and you will learn ALOT.

One of the best professors I've had at Emory! So helpful and genuinely concerned about his students. A very quirky professor! His class is quite challenging however if you put in the effort, complete the Aplia problem sets and attend class.. you should be able to pull off a decent grade. Make sure you read before class and go to his office hours

Best teacher in Econ department. Take him!

The best professor I've had at Emory. The only problem you'll have is questioning whether you like econ itself or the way he teaches it. Quizzes are fairly straightforward, tests are based off of the quizzes, and homework is doable especially if you have people to check with. Highly recommended!

Extremely smart and well-spoken. He's dedicated to helping his students do well. Like he said the first day of class, if you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class you're looking for. But if you want to really learn something about microeconomics that'll help you in the future, you've come to the right place.

the best professor ever in Emory!

HE ROCKS!! BANERJEE FOREVER!!

Dr. B is both an amazing person and an amazing professor. He is renowned at Emory and in the field of economics for a reason. If you can at all help it, take one of his classes. You'll get a lot from it and if you are struggling he will make himself available to help. He genuinely wants to see you succeed and is passionate about teaching.

Shomu is just amazing. There are quizzes every class though, so make sure you go

Attendance is a must, else you WILL lag behind. Nevertheless, he is awesome with his graphs, easy to understand and extremely smart! He is open to suggestions, and tests you not on bookish, but application based knowledge! A must-take class

I have to admit that Banerjee makes microeconomics interesting and abstract concepts easy to understand . However, he has a tendency to embarrass students who ask "stupid" questions. I am discouraged to ask questions and participate in class as a result.

Shomu is great. Definitely recommend you take this class with him. You will really learn the material. All sample tests are ESSENTIAL to doing well on the real exams. Memorize everything on the sample test. Don't buy the textbook, lecture notes will suffice. Print out ppts in color before every class! Quizzes every class to check for attendance.

Love his class. If you do everything he says and not try to cheat your way out of it, you'll do well. He gives us constant practice and practice tests before the exam which help a lot! I took AP Micro in high school and still managed to do really well.

Excellent professor, great at explaininghelping, made me love econ. Much harder than Econ101. If you read your notes, do homework thoroughly, and keep up with the daily quizzes and worksheets, you should be fine for his difficult tests. The class requires effort and a large time commitment, but it is extremely rewarding and very doable. Recommend.

Best Economics teacher in Emory! Made micro so easy for the class. Very interesting lectures and to the point. sample exam given before is identical, makes exams extremely easy. Highly recommended

Banerjee is a wise wise guy indeed. He's sweet and he's a good guide but as a teacher he's ruthless. His exams are application personified and he is a harsh harsh grader. There are quizzes every class and while that may be beneficial to everyone's preparation, it also takes away a lot of time to prepare for other subjects.

Literally the clearest econ professor I've ever had. Tests require some extra thinking but that's just the trade off. People say he grades harshly but in econ the answer it either right or wrong, so no comment on that.

He is one of the best professors at Emory University. If you are thinking of majoring in Economics, take his class.

He's not just a wonderful professor, but an warming and compassionate human being who really cares about you and your stories. Go to this office hours, learn more about his work and talk to him. He gives great life advices!

I have heard so many good things about this professor before coming to Emory and it's true. I took him for my Freshman Seminar and it easily became one of my favorite classes. He helps a lot when you don't understand something. Lots of hands-on activities to help grasp the concepts and makes the class fun. He's also very inspirational.

Take Banerjee or Francis-Tan for Econ 201, both of them are amazing.

Best Econ professor at Emory. He's also a math genius. 101 is not that hard at all and he gives all notes and even practice exams.

If you are a Econ major, you need to take Dr. Banerjee. He is your best bet at Emory to ACTUALLY teach you something that's worth learning. His tests are tough but he prepares you for it every class with at least 2 or 3 in-class quizzes. If you need additional help, go to his office hours!

Have to say his class is tough but his office is opened for anyone who needs help. He is a great teacher.

The best professor in Emory that I've ever met. Lectures are great, and his quizzes are very helpful. The exam is exactly the same format as his quizzes and his problems after class. No idea why there are so many complaints about the difficulty of this class. If you really do the problems, an A should be expected.

If you are an econ major who cares about learning the material at a deep level, take Banerjee. Most of the problems are very doable if you understand the intuition and are comfortable with the math. Certainly one of the best professors I have had at Emory. The test problems make you think, but are fair if you understand the material.

Dr Banerjee is a great professor and really cares about his students. He is always willing to amend his schedule in order to make room for you. Also, he is a very interesting person, so get to know him. Definitely take his class; he makes you work for it but an A is definitely manageable.

Makes you think about microeconomics in general. Although exam Q's are kind of hard, he provides 2 sample exams before every midterm + final. You should expect to earn a grade you'd like as long as you put efforts and work!

HIS BOOK DOES NOT SUCK!! It's the best study guide for this course! Every concept is crystal clear and he digs deep into it. I have never encountered such concise and accurate text book in my college year. Many econ textbooks are wordy and sloppy, but his is concise and helpful.

Just yesterday when a peer who took another econ class asked me a question he deemed as so hard and undoable, and I looked at it and thought it was such a simple question, I suddenly realized how well Dr. B had trained us.

I have to say he really prepares us well for being an econ major! His lectures are clear and profound, and he gives us questions that require deep thinking. Quizzes per class but they are simple and he allows for group work. Always guide you through hard questions even on the exam (he gives you hint in hard questions sometimes).

One of the most genuine, caring, and passionate professors I have ever had at Emory. The first class will scare you because he gives 1-3 quizzes a class BUT these help you so much and they are easy. The quizzes and worksheets are amazing study guides for his tests (which are nearly identical). He also considers your effort and progress when grading

He is an amazing professor. He made topics that would be very difficult, easy to understand and apply. I felt like I really learned in his class. Thank you, professor.

Dr. Banerjee has a reputation on campus for being a really tough teacher. In ECON101 he pushed his students really hard, but it made us better in the long run. Much, much more difficult than other ECON101 classes at Emory, but you'll be really prepared. Daily quizzes so don't skip class. 2 Midterms (20% each) and a final.

Great teacher, funny guy, very cool. The class is extremely difficult though

Shomu is a great professor. He made dry material tolerable and gives students tons of opportunities to get good grades. Make sure to go to class and take notes.

Professor Banerjee is really funny and a very good lecturer. He is very passionate about the material and he cares about the success of his students. There are practice tests which are usually fairly similar to the actual tests, but usually the actual test is a little harder so it can be deceiving. Taking Banerjee's class was a solid experience.

I love him. He is the reason why I chose to major in Econ. He has quizzes everyday but they are pretty helpful. He explains everything pretty well and pretty funny guy. I would take him again for sure.

He is definitely the toughest economics professor and the class moves pretty fast. You can't really zone out in the middle of a lecture or skip this class if you want to do well. He is an AMAZING professor though, and will put in his level best to make you do well and love economics. Moreover, he is a gem of a person who truly cares about you!

Dr. Banerjee is awesome. His teaching style is engaging, and his grading structure is fair, yet forgiving. His life lecture showed everybody in our class how much he truly cares about his students, and I am so lucky to have had him as my professor. I have learned so much about economics and more importantly LIFE from Dr. Banerjee.

Dr.B is one of the best professors in the department and the reason I'm still an Econ major! I loved his class, he is a great teacher, explains concepts very well. That being said his classes are not easy. As long as you come to lectures, keep us with homework and assignments you should be fine. Take his class once at least, it's an experience!

Dr. Banerjee truly cares for his students. His clear and longstanding passion for Economics is clearly shown in his class and he continues to push his students to learn and persevere. He is a great lecturer and is great at explaining hard concepts in a way that makes sense to his students. I would definitely recommend taking any of his classes.

Amazing person. be sure to attend his life lecture! Overall the class is very simple, but the hw counts more than you think so be sure to review it before submitting.

He's got such a wonderful personality and a dynamic way of explaining things, and his passion for the subject makes complex concepts understandable. Treasure of the econ department.

Difficult class but great professor

Great professor and a wonderful man. I'm not phenomenal at Econ in general but Prof. Banerjee was very nice, caring, and helpful. He was especially cognizant of the challenges his students faced during COVID-19. It can be a tough class but I would also expect it to be easier to learn once classes return to in-person. Thank you Prof. Banerjee!

Best professor I have taken at Emory. He is an amazing lecturer, funny, challenging, but still understanding of his students. Tests are challenging and requires you to know the concepts inside and out, but definitely not impossible to get good grades on. He gives out 2-3 relatively easy group quizzes every class so make sure to attend the lectures.

Dr. B cares a lot about his students and will spend a lot of time making sure you understand the material! I would not recommend taking if you are not an Econ major - he tells all non-Econ majors to drop on the first day. The class isnt easy but Dr. B makes it worth it :)

Banerjee is the best professor I have had at this school so far. He is caring and passionate about what he teaches. I had him for both ECON101 and 201. He is known to be a little harder than the other professors but worth it. If you pay attention in class you will learn a lot and be prepared for exams. Not very much homework either.

Make sure you go to class and take notes

Prof Banerjee's 201 class is challenging but if you listen and take notes during lectures it is possible to do well. Recommends a textbook but don't really need it. He's funny, willing to help, and accessible. Atleast one quiz is given each class (10ish are dropped). Class is graded by 2midterms, quizzes, 5 hw sets, and a final.

Dr. Banerjee is a great professor but can be a tough grader and get stern at times. His class is damn tough. Hence if you aren't wanting to do an Econ major, you shouldn't do his class. He has been very helpful throughout the course, and he teaches the course really well. He makes you do quizzes/worksheets every day to help you learn.

His class is really hard, and the avg for a typical test would be around a 78-80. He doesn't reduce the grade cutoffs by that much despite the avg being low for tests. He only reduced the cutoffs by 1% for us (95 to 94 for A, 90 to 89 for A-, 87 to 86 for B+, etc). This is an extremely tough class that will take away almost all your time

Professor Banerjee is definitely one of the best professors I have ever had. His lectures are pretty engaging and he explains everything so well. He truly cares for his students and willing to set up office hours whenever you need helps. Highly recommend!

my main man shomu is truly goated with the sauce

banerjee is absolutely goated with the sauce. he runs the class so it feels like an easy-A class, but somehow you actually learn all the material at the same time! There's "quizzes" in class almost every day, but you can work on them with your group-mates and get help from any other students around you. Just stay on your toes!

The class is inherently difficult, but Banerjee's 'model-based approach' makes the content easier to apply to real-life scenarios; he cares about your learning and makes an effort to ensure you know what is going on. The content itself takes time to understand and requires you to work. He is very well-versed in teaching the subject.

Extremly hard class! Weed-out and you learn sooo much material, its insane. Will be one of the hardest you take in college. Luckily, Banerjee is the god damn GOAT. Very few professors who can teach as efficiently as he can. He makes sure no one falls behind through countless quizzes which force teamwork. Exams are rough, but curved generously.

The course is inevitably challenging, but Dr. Banerjee made it approachable. Each lecture contains many quizzes but were all very helpful. He also takes everyone's efforts and improvements into consideration. The final is curved generously.

Banerjee has been my absolute favorite professor at Emory. He has an engaging class style: in class, he'll have one chunk of lectures followed by a quiz, and so on. You get to learn and apply concepts and class doesn't feel long. Also, he is so caring: he challenges you but is always there to answer questions. He also wants to know you as a person!

Dr. B's Econ 201 class was definitely one of the hardest classes I have taken at Emory. That being said, it is definitely doable if you are willing to put in the effort. Amazing lectures and gives multiple quizzes every class to help learn the concepts. Generously curved final. He is caring, supportive, and very accessible outside of class.

Yes, the class is difficult, but if you pay attention and stay on your toes with the "quizzes," you can be successful in the class. If you're in business school, do not take this class. The more calculus you know, the better. Tests will always contain something which will require you to think and will be a variation of something done in class.

He was a lovely and warm teacher. You did need to turn up to class and study before quizzes. If you this though it is a fairly easy A.

Great lectures and easy to take notes on. He does make us take 2 in class quizzes every class to make sure you were paying attention so just show up, they are huge grade boosters.

Shomu is generally a great teacher. Attendance is necessary due to daily quizzes but they are very easy and you are allowed to collaborate. Additionally, he happens to be very grade inflationary. Lastly, he is a very understanding and down to earth teacher.

Out of any professor I'd ever had, Dr. B truly did care the most about his students and their success. He keeps you on your toes with his in-class "quizzes" (open note and you can work with others), but genuinely, if you're interested in microeconomics or just need to fulfill a gen-ed, any class with him would be a wonderful option.

Take this class if you're gonna major in economics. It's pretty hard but very valuable

Dr. B's class is super easy and a fun intro to economics. If you show up to class and are doing well on the in-class quizzes, the tests are not too bad. He always puts a few trick questions on them but mostly the tests are all questions you've seen before. There is little to no work outside of class.

Definitely recommend Shomu if you want to be a better person. His kindness makes up for his height.

Prof. Banerjee is very knowledgeable and clearly delivers the message through lectures. There is usually an in class quiz to check understanding, so attendance is mandatory. Tests account for a majority of the grade but he provides practice tests and good study materials.

Super sweet professor. Lectures can be a little boring but informative. There is a 4 pt collaborative quiz every class, and its easy to get good grades on those. Willing to chat outside of class. He remembers everyone's names/faces after the first month, pretty much. Enjoyed it as an econ major - but probably an easy class as a gen ed too

He is the best professor at Emory for sure! I have never been this interested in lectures and I genuinely learned a lot. It is a great class for any econ majors as nobody else provides such a strong foundation! It is a tough class to do well in and I spent most of my time on this work, but if you are interested in Econ then you must take shomu

Professor Banerjee's class is a good intro to economics. Attendance is a must, and in-class quizzes help boost your grade. Leverage resources like unstuckstudy alongside the textbook for efficient study prep. Overall, a manageable course if you stay engaged.

He is the best Professor I've ever had in my life.

Amazing professor. Extremely helpful and accessible outside class. ECON 201 is a hard subject in itself and the way he teaches it makes the class so much more fun and enjoyable. Would definitely take him again.
