excellent lecturer - makes complex ideas easier to understand

great teacher

he's a pretty good guy... for an econ prof

Great Prof....Best I have ever had

"Suppose!~" "Very interesting...."

Not an easy prof, who likes to prove things with math. Great mind though.

Very accomodating and helpful

You will have the audience of a trained econometrician; a true economic mind.

Pardon my saying so, but I don't think his ability to TEACH the material was as bad as some have said. He is fast, which could be difficult for students who haven't had any experience in economics. I can see that.

I don't think a class went by without him saying, "Just between you, me and the fencepost..." Thank you for sharing such great secrets with us Professor Easton.

i think he is really an ECON teacher... although he doesn't teach as others do(like u have to read the textbook all by yourself),but his points are really reasonable.and exams have almost the some MC questions with his sample!!

He knows his stuff, and if you are really interested in econ, and are willing to study a lot, you'll like him. He may be giving a little too much extra material for people who just take the course as a required. Exams are reasonable-know text and lecture

One of the best profs ever. Tests are unique and actually test ability to think and analyze rather than memorize assignments and textbook and pass on that. Very knowledgeble on varity of macro and finance topics. If you want a prof that is creative and actually expalins w/o PowerPoint then Easton!!

Read the book before going to lecture, or else it is a waste of time. I rarely ever wrote down notes since he likes to draw messy graphs and write algebra equations a lot. I got burned on the midterm but I still got an A(he forgives the midterm). Seems like a nice guy when you talk to him in person or in his office. Read the book and you'll be fine

Excellent prof. Very smart and really knows his stuff. Lectures were very informative and relates the material to interesting real world examples. Will definitely take another course with Easton.

Easton is actually approachable and very knowledgeable. The lectures are genuinely interesting, the man really knows his stuff. The only thing is that he can move fast, so dont forget the coffee. I bombed the midterm, but managed to swing an A in the end. I work in the banking industry, his class was very useful- real insight.

He might be a little boring but he is a great prof. he knows so much and explain the class in a way that is easy to understand. You MUST read the textbook to know whats going on in the class.

He's undoubtedly a great economist, however, his clarity needs improvement.Midterm was easy, final was easier.The questions were mostly analytical types and required you to fully understand the concepts rather than pure memorization.He's highly approachable and very knowledgeable in the field.If you want to learn something, take him.

Easton is one of the more knowledgeable profs I've had. He's also very nice and approachable. If you pay attention, his lectures are actually informative and clear. His exams are fair--no surprises. If you are interested in the course material and put in the effort, you can do well.

The class is easy I cannot understand how anyone can rate the class poorly the prof ?s ok not great he spends way too much time on useless math equations which are useless and are not on the midterm or final. If you just study the practice exams and the uderstand the main models the class is very easy.

Take this class. Aced it. Midterm easy. Final easier. Start your term paper early. About ten pages. Class very interesting. Not a single boring moment.

I thought he was a great prof for this particular course. He gives you the ability to research something that's interesting to you, and grants a lot of independence. He won't spoon feed you, you are required to actually think for yourself.

This class requires you to write an at least 20 pages long research paper. In order to get a high grade even if your English is poor, you have to talk to him after class at least once a week. He is very helpful and will provide many materials and resources for you to make your writing easier. His lecture is pretty confusing tho.

Stephen is understanding, caring and quite funny at times. He helps you out with your research literally any time you need. Sometimes he speaks too fast and he has croaky voice so it's hard to follow but that' ok. If you are relatively good at research, you should definitely take this course with him. you will learn a lot from him.

Lovely teacher!

He is actually a good professor. He wants the student to ask questions from him. Helpful when you attend the office hour. Does a lot of derivations in the class but noting of that comes in the exams(he just want to make things clear ) the exam only test you the lecture notes knowledge Easier than most the upper level econ

Super available via email for questions and tries to make the class interesting. There are lots of questions available on his website to practice and if you do them all you'll succeed in the class. Probably one of the most high tech profs when moving online. Wants you to do well but you just need to put in some work for it. Overall great prof!!

I think alot of his negative reviews are older classes maybe he was a bit more dry back then but taking him in covid times has been pretty good. Pretty caring, answers emails really fast, very fair and very knowledgeable. Tests are sorta hard but if you really understand the theory / do a lot of the reading + extra reading you'll be fine. A+

Econ 450 with Stephen was a great experience. While the class may seem intimidating at first, his marking is generous as long as you follow the clear expectations and guidelines he presents throughout the semester. If you are a good writer with a mind for economics, you will succeed. He has a wealth of knowledge that he readily shares if asked.

I love this guy because I got A+!
