Very good Prof

Very easy to take notes from - great prof

I only had him for Econ 104 which is a pretty easy class, but I liked him.

good notes but hard exams

No Comments

He really tries and makes it clear for you, even though his test are super hard!

wears the same scarf everyday and talks like dr. evil

midterms are starting to get hard!

Totally clear, and tries to help in class, hard exams he thinks are easy

Course in general not easy, but instructor helps a lot! Clear and Concise.

Good prof. Sunil made everyting pretty clear. Talks like Dr. Evil

I'll bet he throws a mean spinkick.

one of the best profs i've ever, very clear, makes sure everyone gets it

He is great!!! He looks like mario! with a red hat, (wonder where luigi is~~~)

pretty sedate but nice, well organized and relevant

Very helpful and gives really good examples in class

Great prof, knows his stuff. Always folds his jacket into thirds (inside out)

clear, talks really slowly, really hard midterms

He was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He explains things well and actually cares if you understand.

Overall course wasn't too bad but his midterms aren't that easy. Many of us got totally killed on the first midterm and got kicked around a bit for the second midterm.

It is worthwhile going to class - even though it's broing, it is very helpful, unlike the text. He has high standards though... so work hard, or he'll make you feel like ****.

Awesome for that course, but the course itself is easy and awesome too. OK in the Econs, I'm sure there's worse.

One of the best prof's Ive ever had.

Excellent

Good prof. Really knows his stuff. Not really available outside of class but good at lecturing.

Straight fwd from the book

my best prof so far. if u actually listen he knows his stuff. if u pay attention in class and study from the text (very good) an A is attainable. the first midterm is hard; know how to APPLY the material and draw graphs. if u see him 1 on 1 he's helpful.

An amazing lecturer; knows material inside out and encourages students to ask questions until understood. His exams on the other hand are extrememly difficult (out of 200 students only 2 completed the first midterm) and class average was below 50%.

Lectures are fairly interesting. ECON 100 is supposed to be an easy course and it was.. until the exam. good luck

A good lecturer indeed...makes Econ104 an interesting course...easy midterms brought me even more interests on economics...!

He was good. Really easy to understand his lectures and to the point. Tests weren't terribly HARD. I got a B+ and an A-. Im not gonna complain.

Neil is the****, knows what he is talking about, and great sense of humour, though he definitely plays favourites, good idea to suck up to him, especially in office hours, also know your Econ facts, read the Economist, he will love you!

EXCELLENT professor. He made difficult material very clear and practical.

One of the best profs Ive ever had

He makes the material easy to understand, and is very straight forward in his explanations. He uses lots of practical examples to keep things interesting.

He definitely knows what he's talking to - make SURE you attend all the classes. He's straight forward and tries hard to make things clear. He can be a little boring now and again, but he also has some interesting current events that he includes for some up to date examples.

Kaplash is very good at explaining concepts clearly and slowly. He finds good real world examples to show these concepts. I would definately take another course with him.

Very good professor. Explains everything slowly and clearly and uses a lot of real world examples to help students understand concepts better. Definitely recommended.

Awesome prof. His lectures are very well organized. Take good notes and you'll find his courses a breeze. Be sure to pay attention and attend ALL his lectures! He's always slipping little important things here and there that might appear on the midterm or final. Good luck!

Good prof. He realizes that he is talking to people who are just beginning to learn economics, so he is very clear and doesn't confuse you with too much info that's not in the text.

Best Prof on campus!!! He is simply an amazing teacher!

This is one of my favorite prof's, At first he seems a bit weird, but if you go to his classes the course is easy, he is very clear, as long as you dont talk in class you will be fine.

Excellent prof in terms of explaining, lecturing and answering questions in class. Loves it when students ask questions, and he answers them well! Always! I also love him because he does not tolerate chitchatters, and puts them in the spot whenever they do to shut them up. I could not ask for a better prof, ever. Reminds me of Inspector Clouseau :)

Very smart. Kinda bitter. But explains things clearly. Study for the tests. Perfectly adequate prof if you do your work.

Awesome Prof! Explains everything very clearly and uses a lot of real world applications. He encourages questions in class and wants students to actually learn the material very well for midterms and final. Definitely recommended.

very helpful prof. the reason i'm an econ major

great teacher

maybe he is not the best prof. but he is not bad at all.you can learn so much from him.

Ok, firt let me say that his teaching style is unbelievable. Everything he says is incredibly clear and easy to absorb and understand. He is extremely open to answering questions during class. The only bad thing about the class was that the midterms were nigh impossible...study your arse off.

well, he is awesome coz everything he made is just so clear and so smooth.just one thing, he never talk about his life nor anything about himself. there;s a intersting one, he even say "hello" to one one day on my way school. i am the guy who always sit in the 1st row and in the middle.

Very straight forward prof, knows his****, doesnt confuse students. Mid terms are straight out of class notes, nothing surprising. Would highly recommend him

Cook prof. Cool TA. His teaching is really clear to me. However, we took tests that had questions not related to lectures. The average for summer class is definitly low.

Clear, direct, and to the point. He breaks things down to the simple basics for you to understand. He is very knowledgable, and wants his students to do well.

He, personally, knows his stuff. good teacher, clear. But his class, on the other hand has extremely unrelated test material. Class avg. was 52% and he still debated curving it up. TAs really suck, and exams are terribly hard. No one got higher than a 75% in class

Very good teacher. Explains everything very directly and to the point. The tests were ridiculous, as they were filled with unclear questions. The class avg was around 50%. ECON really isn't that hard of a subject but the tests made it extremely difficult.

great teacher, knows his stuff, funny. recommended

Very Knowledgable.

First off, this guy has style! His teaching ability is only surpassed by his fashion sense. To do well on the mid terms, study the study guide questions not the text book itself. tests are quite tough

Mr. Sunil Kaplash is an extremely knowledgeable lecturer. He knows his facts extensively and doesn't resort to bs-ing. I studied Commerce 100 in his class and evaluation (4 tests, no exams) was very fair. Prior to each test, he reminds us everything we need to know for the upcoming test. Other than that, Sunil needs to "check e-mail." RECOMMENDED!

Prof. Kaplash is very good in class as others have commented. BUT trouble is that he is NOT open to questions or concerns about marking or how the exams are done. He is always in a hurry. The ta's failed him for the first midterm and he did not respond well to a lot of concern by students. Make sure you do not miss a class before the first midterm!

he is good. take his class

Kaplash mite be the most '****' teacher you will ever come across. He has the sweetest red french hat and scarf combo.. and he gets real mad at people if they are texting or talking in class. Make sure to take notes about what he is talking about rather than what he writes on the board because he barely writes anything.

Very good lectures. Makes sure each student fully understands the concepts before moving on. Midterms tend to be filled with mistakes. Midterm #1 was relatively easy (avg ~78%). Midterm #2 was brutal, avg was about ~46-50% and he DID NOT scale it. That cost me my A+ and many other students dropped 1 or 2 letter grades. Final was relatively easy.

Classes were easy to understand and he made concepts clear. However, midterms and the final were very hard. One of the midterms even resulted in an average grade of about 46% (fail)... this exam was NOT scaled. This caused many people's grades to fall significantly. My advice is to TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S CLASS!!!

He is a great teacher, but you don't need to attend class to understand what is going on.

Hmm...the second midterm was pretty bad. I got 60%, about 29% lower than my mark for the first midterm. The problem wasn't so much that the material was harder, but the questions in the exam were laid out differently than how they were in the assigned text and study guide questions. LAME

Fairly interesting lectures but can gain same knowledge from textbook if necessary. Didn't mark or grade the tests so knowledge from class is less important than knowledge from labs.

The first midterm is fair,the second midterm is very hard, and many students failed the second midterm. But the final is fair. Do the study guide questions before the exams. He seems like a nice guy, but the second midterm is hard.

Professor extremely competent. But very theory based. Not for slow or incompetent at theory. Diagrams clear and useful. Be prepared to use textbook as supplemental guide. Again, this professor teaches very quickly but you need to think fast and comprehend your theory. Second mid-term difficult. Final is reasonable. Good luck.

Truthfully, the Professor doesn't care about most of his students, but he really likes those who engage in his class and catch on quickly. Despite his apathy to most students, Kaplash was quite good at teaching the subject matter, and related the course content to day to day economic news, which was a great help. Tests are average in difficulty.
