He's not very clear, and difficult to understand at times. I was almost in tears after the first test, but things did get better. He is willing to adjust to help students succeed. Key to your success: Read the book, and do the problems he he hands out. They will show up on the tests. You can get an A in the class.

He has a very thick African accent, so most of the time he's hard to understand because he tries to say things faster than he should and he mispronounces a lot. That was my biggest problem in the class, I just couldn't follow his lectures because of this and how disorganized his teaching method is. Buthe's nice and grades fairly at least.

His accent is not an obstacle but poor attendance can be. He is very generous with grading if you don't skip classes all the time. The subject material is difficult but he is patient even with those of us who don't get it right away. Keep your notebook up to date (he counts that as most of your grade)

He's ok I guess. The stuff he teaches about Macroeconomics is fair: all based on text. However, his lecture is sometimes not very easy to understand. Sometimes the mispronunciation of his accent is confusing. When he writes on the board, there are occasions when he uses his own symbols or style of writing that no one can seem to understand.

He is a good professor. For those commons below, just remind you guys that economic is a hard subject . You should expect to work hard and ask questions. Everyone in my class asked him questions and got solved. He is nice. It is not a easy class. Work hard, you will get an A. No complain.

The main concern you should have going into one of his classes is that his accent is very thick and sometimes hard to understand when lecturing. It will definitely take some time to get used to. Other than that professor gueye is a solid teacher in my opinion. He understands the material well and does a good job accommodating for student needs.

I took Econ 1 with him over the summer and he is amazing! Extremely knowledgable about the subject, & wants his students to be engaged, intrigued, and inspired. He gives lots of extra credit & second chances on assignments. He's also very understanding with deadlines and needing extensions on tests/homework. Great professor and I highly recommend!

Interesting professor. Has a thick accent, a little disorganized, but ultimately enjoyed the class a lot? Very knowledgeable, has done postdoc work in Econ. I had him for int. Econ, spent a lot of time with him outside of class working 2 ensure an A. Taught me the most out of my 4 Econ classes. If you're actually interested in Econ, you'll like him

I learned a lot from him and I will never forget it. If you use your time and effort to learn from him, you'll get an A. He takes the time outside of class to help you too, just ask

He's so great and nice! His lecture is relaxing, and he explains everything clearly. He always asks us if we follow him and give a lot of actual examples to help us understand. One more thing here, people complain about his accent a lot. I don't think it 's a problem. English is not my first langue, and I can't understand what he says.

He is very knowledgeable and very understanding when it comes to asking his help. Be sure to attend his class, be open minded, do your homework and follow his guidelines and you will definitely get a A or a B.

Don't come to this class and expect an easy A or B. You have to work hard to earn it. Mr Souleymane is a very attentive and caring instructor. You don't need the textbook. All what you have to do is follow his instructions and you will pass the class. If students have concerns with the class material, he tries to explain it as simple as possible.

My main gripe would have to be that often when there was a mishap on the instructors side, rather than rework the timetable we would have to work within the timeframe of the syllabus; without having been instructed on the coursework prior. This could only be managed by learning by oneself, on one's own time. Essentially, you are your own teacher.

It was a challenging and demanding class but Prof. Gueye went above and beyond in order to accommodate us as a class. He was always willing to extend the due date for our exams (all take home) and help us with those exams during office hours (albeit with slightly different numbers). He was very generous with grading and there was lots of extra cred

This was a tough class. I learned a lot, but you have to put in a lot of studying and a lot of work. The homework and tests were hard and long. I spent most of my time last semester working on this class and Econ 3 (same professor). This was a remote course and there was no zoom component. Professor Gueye was good at responding back to emails.

prof Gueye is underated. His accent is a little heavy; however, he is alway answer all questions asap. Oftentimes, he answers email immediately. You don't have to attend his meeting unless you have question. Reading the book would be good enought to obtain knowledge. His homework is very great and give out good practice. I strongly recommned him.

Firstly, my main gripe with this professor is the many times he has made an error with Canvas assignments, and proceeds to change the due date/time last minute. Other than that, homework is pretty easy and tests are parallels to the homework. Graphing sucks though because if one item is misaligned, you will not get credit for the graphing section.

Terrible professor! I had a very bad online experience with this class. Does not give ANY instruction at all.

If you have a lot of responsibilities in your life DO NOT take this class because it will mess up your GPA.

His accent is heavy but understandable. The lectures were definitely understandable and simplified information of the material. Although this class has a textbook, he simplifies formulas and dumbs everything down during the lectures for a better overall understanding. However, do be careful on asking questions as he does have a short temper.

Do not take this class online. There is no instruction or lectures. He provides 'lectures' in PowerPoint files which contain only short bullet points with no explanation. You will need to read an extremely dry textbook and teach yourself everything. This class was so bad I changed my major away from something requiring economics. Stay far away.

The class is frustrating because the instructors do not seem very interested in teaching it and do not reply to my emails. There are no equations included in the lesson plan or slides, so I am using their e-textbook to teach myself the course. Because I have no help from the professor, she doesn't answer emails at all. Don't take this course.

👎 Handwriting SUCKS & has an accent that can be difficult to understand. Gets things wrong often and has to be corrected by students. Last semester had inclass exams, but so far 3 of 4 exams this semester were take home. Idk how it would be possible to finish exams during class time, too time consuming. Doesn't input grades until end of semester

Continuation of previous review. Class can be hard bc of all the equations/calculations, so take good notes, pay attention, and do the provided practice problems. Assigns HW sometimes, hands back exams after grading, but not the hw. Don't even know if he grades hw because he doesn't input grades on canvas until the end. class was ok but tedious
