AWESOME TEACHER!!! ACTUALLY MADE ECON FUN!!!

He made econ an interesting class.

He is hard but easy. He gives a ton of work and the tests are really hard. But he gives a lot of points for participation and attendance so it all balances out in the end. If you want an easy teacher & class this is definetly not the class to take.

gives a lot of assignments, but gives credit for participation and attendance. Very hard tests. You will not get an easy A, but you will actually learn something in this class.

He is a great teacher and very knowledegable. I didn't know political science was so interesting. You HAVE to read to do well in his class.

He is very intelligent and witty

He does require a lot of reading; however, his teaching methods require students to really think about what they are learning. A really tough class, but I truly learned MicroEconomics.

He is a pretty good intructor. Be sure to ask questions if you don't understand. I formed a study group and we met once a week all semester for a couple of hours. I am sure that is how I got an A. Do all the reading or you will be lost.

Myers is a really smart guy and knows everything you could imagine about the government, but he is biased in some areas, and shows it. It doesn't really matter if you go to class. He only takes role the first couple times. Do the study guides he gives out, and you will definitely pass the class.

I have to say that his class is very easy, all you have to do is show up for class every now and then, he posts his notes online gives u study guides that if you do ur fine and u have to read a book and give a presentation, but the presentation is easy, he's funny and reallyy smart, i recommend it

Very intelligent teacher who works hard to help students succeed.

I had a great time in his class and learned a lot about politics. His stories are interesting and Grossmont is lucky to have a teacher with so many real world experiences.

The Good - extremely knowledgeable and exceedingly flexible. The Bad - noticeably insensitive toward minorities and the disadvantaged. The Ugly - his laugh... it's so ugly that you can't help but laugh with him. Grade = A-, one of the better PSC teachers.

Very nice guy and extremely knowledgable but can be overly philosophical at times. His self-depricating humor is sorta funny and I'd say anyone who believes him to be insensitive needs to lighten up. Class is an easy A if you do the work and read.

I think Mr. Myers is a great teacher. He made me really think about the different cultures we studied and he was very helpful by giving us study guides. I like his laugh.

Hez a good guy..he tried to giv us point..he prepared a lot for lecturez..soemtimes too much information..I got A in this class. make sure understand and memorize study guide!!

good teacher. every day comes in hunched over saying "hello my friends" in a egor like voice. it is kinda funny. he knows way too much about economics, and gives a lot of info in lecture. you do have to read two books and write an essay comparing them. oh well, he is a pretty good teacher though.

Great Teacher! Knows alot about what he teaches in great depths and is very willing to help clarify and help out. His class can be a little overwhelming but as long as you do the study guides, you'll do well and he goes over them in class.One paper/presentation and 3 tests, w/o a comprehensive final.Great teacher,recommend taking him, I will again

OUTSTANDING TEACHER! HE WAS ALSO A DRAMA TEACHER ONCE SO HE REALLY KEEPS YOU ENGAGED. KIND OF A NERD BUT FUNNY. GIVES OUT STUDY GUIDES, THERE IS ONE 6 PAGE PAPER DUE AT THE END AND ABOUT 4 TESTS AND A COUPLE QUIZZES. GO TO CLASS AND DO SOME READING AND YOU'LL BE FINE. I PASSED WITH A B.

Great teacher.Do your work, he is a leanient grader.Wants you to know some and not all of the book. Do the study guide and show up for class and show yourself. Don't freak out about the eassy just do it and hand in on time. Not to hard at all. He relates the stuff to the real world. Best teacher at Grossmont! Will take everything he teaches.

This teacher is good but gives too much busy work. Had 2 books to read, the text and an old econ book and then had to compare them with a 10-15 page paper by the end. He is a new teacher and is trying to impress someone right now. Take him in a few more semesters or if you are not taking a full load and have time to do the work.

He is a very nice teacher. He is very willing to help his students. A paper and a group presentation is assigned, it might seem overwhelming but they are not as bad as they might seem. It will be very helpfull if you read the assigned chapter before class. He is also a very fun teacher. I highly recomend him.

Prob. the best teacher i have ever had, my friends used to come to the class every now and then just to sit in and have a good laugh. he teaches economics very very well and is extreamly funny while doing it. Dropped Dr. Cummings and took Dr. Myers best decision i have ever made.

cool guy, very entertaining but talks too much, extremely helpful, make sure you use the study guide everything on test comes from it. defenetly take Myers you will learn a lot and have some laughs

Dr. Myers is an incredibly intelligent man. I learned a great deal from his class.

He's a little bit of a nutty character but, you'll learn alot. If you are having trouble he'll help you out. His tests are multiple choice with a study guide before hand. A good guy.

I enjoyed the class because I like economics. IF I didn't, the class probably would have been boring. As long as you read the text and do the study guides you will do fine on the tests. Class was interesting, but for the most part unnecessary. The second book required for the class (Small is beautiful) is a really bad book, but an easy read.

He's really cool.

Nice guy, you need to study and keep up with the reading or you will be left behind. Very easy to talk to.

A really superb teacher and a very caring person. Very approachable and loves to advise students on their careers. I found him inspiring, but you have to use your brain. Not for slackers! Very well organized lectures with powerpoints. I've been through college and three years of grad school, and Myers is definitely one of the best teachers ever.

Dr. Myers is a great teacher who cares alot about every student who puts in even the slightest of effort. The subject matter can be difficult and he may lose you with his sesquipedalianism, but you will emerge an academically brighter student.

Everything comes from the textbook. This was the first class that I read the textbook from cover to cover. Only went to class once a week. Main thing is try to learn the material on your own. This is a tough subject to teach, so you have to put in your time at home reading. Good teacher though.

I was sure I was going to barely pass this class with a C, (if that) and I ended up with a B. Dr. Myers is such a nice guy and always available for questions. He doesn't take attendence, but I suggest you go... this class is a little hard. Do yourself a favor and study Powerpoints and from the book. The only thing I didn't like is the online Aplia.

I loved his class. You can tell he's really intelligent and knows his subject. He will always answer your questions in or out of class. Sometimes in his lectures, he goes into too much detail instead of keeping it simple, but still gets his point across. I learned a lot. Highly recommended. Really nice guy, fun class.

Dr. Myers is very intelligent and charismatic guy. The class is not the easiest (had him for POSC 120) but if you read and use the study guides you will be fine! This was the only class i actually enjoyed going to the entire semester. Myers' antics are very amusing! Teaches class like a college class should be run.

Incredible teacher, who actually teaches how he wants to teach, not by some curriculum, very intelligent, listens to everyone's questions, will discuss almost anything. highly recommended for anyone taking poli sci or an economics course

He's a good guy. Really smart. extensive background and credentials. His class was always a good time

This class is a very interesting class. Dr. Myers is very open and friendly and will help you with understanding the material if you just listen to what he is talking about.

He is a very fun and knowledgeable teacher. I look forward to taking him for other classes.

He's a very funny man and keeps the class awake with his weird but entertaining antics. I wasn't doing very well in the class, I was never much into economics and only took for GE's but he's really nice.

Knowledgeable & helpful. Tests are hard: sometimes questions on obscure statistics from book & essays aren't easy. Lecture time is almost pointless. He just discusses the material in a roundabout way, and occasionally has good class discussions. To understand the subject and do well on tests, you NEED to read the book.

He does like you to read the book. Lectures are sometimes entertaining and usually informative. I think he is a really good teacher.

He is one of the smartest teachers at Grossmont. He is challenging, but I feel better prepared for UCSD.

HIS microecon class this spring was amazing. Even though hes sometimes distract from the topic at hand but in the end he always knows how to draw it back to the main knowledge.Besides,Dr. Myers is a very passionate individual with a great personality too.You will ace the tests if I truly understand the concept and take em with confidence!best luck

Mr.Myers is easy going, very inteligent,and an easy grader.There was a LOT of reading and writting in this class. However if you actually read the book(s) and actually do the assignments that he asks you to do you have an A or a B guaranteed(generally speaking).

A true scholar. Certainly not without flaw, but overall a very passionate, understanding, and helpful professor. Also very funny! An appropriate and fair amount of work for a college class. As he says, "If I'm not challenging you, I'm not doing my job."

He assigns book report, a few tests, and is very open to student participation. I will take him again.

I think Dr. Myers adds a great deal of knowledge to class about politics and learning. He is also very nice and is willing to help if you ask him.

His class is not difficult as long as you read the text. Lectures help, but his tangents make it hard to cover everything. He is open to class discussions. Sometimes he seems arrogant; he admits it, too. He wants to "enlighten" you more than anything (Buddhism). He's a good/cool professor. Recommended. Thanks Todd! :o) ~PS: He reads these reviews!~

Myers is an awesome prof. he is more than willing to help you if your having trouble. He is very interesting, i never fell asleep. Very reasonable with grading as long as you PARTICIPATE, SHOW AN HONEST EFFORT and DO ALL 2 ASSIGNMENTS and READ THE BOOK!!! definitely recommend him if you want to learn!! GO MYERS!

Doctor Myers, I genuinely love you. I really really do, but can you please stop talking about "hot chicks"? It scares me just a little. Otherwise, adorable and funny. Glasses and hats are win. And it might seem like he's rambling, but if you're actually paying attention, he's using real life examples to help students understand actual concepts.

YO TODD YOU ARE THE MEN OF MY WORLD NO ****BUT WITH OUT YOU I WOULD NEVR BEEN WERE I AM FROM KNOW YOU ARE THE BEST VERY FUN VEY EASY GOOD TESTS HELPFULL PERSON ALLWAYS THIRE WHEN YOU NEED HIM AND ALL WAYS TAKES TIME TO HELP YOU OUT WITH SOME THING THAT YOU NEED LOVE YOU BIG DOG

This class WAS hard, but it is, after all, college and we did learn a lot. And if you're complaining about reading the book to do will, please don't go to a university. Not an easy A, but totally worth it. He applies the concepts YOU learn on your own to real world examples. You HAVE to pay attention and do work instead of getting by on a few notes

He is intelligent and sometimes likes to show it off. If you don't enjoy politics this won't be the class for you. Class consists of mainly real world applications of the course content which is good. Seems like he rambles off sometimes. Good teacher overall, would definitely recommend him for anyone who loves political science.

i think dr myers is very good at teaching politics. very fair with everyone in the class, but dont ask a stupid question cause he will somewhat embarass you in front of the class. and jokes are kiinda weak!

I liked the class.The professor is extremely knowledgeable. We had interesting discussions. You should study for this class, but it totally worth it! Dr.Myers is very helpful. Highly recommended...

I'm not sure why people say his class is hard. I took him for both econ 120 and polisci 120, got a B in both and never once opened the textbooks. It may seem like he rambles a lot, but if you pay attention to his lectures and review your notes before tests the class is smooth sailing.

Dr. Myers is amazing!

Ease is relative. He requires that you read the text and select one from a required reading list for a term paper. The classes add value, not simply wrote methodology. Textbook questions are there to facilitate learning but optional. Lectures are very engaging and thought provoking; questions are always welcome. Essays challenging but rewarding.

Nice enough guy, tries to make tons of jokes and is not really all that funny. He pretty much thinks he is the smartest guy ever. Doesn't get through much material but class is not manditory. I showed up for only tests and received an "A". Overall not bad but not the best

Pretty easy teacher. Does NOT take attendance! Just show up for tests and read his power points online (I didn't buy a book)) - will get you an A ! :)

Doctor Myers is a really cool informative guy. He's extremely intelligent and passionate about POSC. If your interested in this topic take his class you will learn a lot if you apply yourself. Each reading takes about 4 hours to thoroughly understand, and its one reading a week. His tests are hard, and tricky but if you study you'll be fine.

You must read the book to do well. If you understand it then there is no need to attend class since his powerpoints are provided by the text authors and he adds almost nothing to the discussion, which is really too bad for a PhD Economist.

Great teacher. Crystal clear if you listen to what he says and come to class.

Amazing Professor, completely changes your perspective on how you perceive things. He is extremely knowledgeable and his lectures are really engaging.He is very helpful. Best professor at Grossmont!

Easily the most straight forward, and helpful proff I've ever had. Allowed me to reschedule numerous tests as I was busy with family & work. He is honest with you from the start, read the book and pass the class. If you cannot afford the book, he has all the information on power-points he has hosted online for you. Stand up guy, I respect.

He's an AMAZING teacher! He's very passionate about his subject and he welcomes all student opinions. He really wants you to understand the material and he makes the subject very interesting. If you ask questions, you'll get a better grade. You'll have a better understanding of politics and world events after this class.

awesome teacher, hes agreeable and goes off on short hilarious tangents that somehow relate to the subject. Its very seldom that i enjoy lectures but i really liked his class. in his econ 121 micro econ class i relied solely on his lectures and readily available powerpoints, i did not touch the text and that is why i got a B, if i had read the text

He uses lecture time to explain how economics is relevant to your life, and to broaden your understanding and use for economics. You are expected to have read the book. This is college and some people should stop crying because the instructor didn't give them a cheat sheet for the test like some do. Those who complain haven't read the book.

Myers is sick, he is also too smart for most of the dullards that will inevitably end up in his course at grossmont. If you take his class, and you cant even count as high as the number of sylllables most of the words in his daily diction have, drop the class because it will be like that all semester. You won't like him if you're stupid, simple.

I love Prof Myers! I took him online. I didn't know we had to purchase Aplia ($80). But, he is simply cooool. Although, it takes a while for him to reply. I usually email him thrice just to get a response. Essay are super duper easy. Finals is very easy (he gave out study guide) and trust me, everything on the study is on the test. I got an A.

Seems like a nice enough teacher. He always replied to my emails within a day or so, unlike some other reviews here. I had him for an online class but we had an on campus final, which sucked. Overall, the work was easy. If you go over the powerpoints you don't really even need the book. I wish he was teaching 120 online!

Great teacher if u want to learn beyond textbook, hard tests for those who don't read or study, was easy for me. helpful and available during office hours. 3 groups of raters here: 1 majority of slackers who blames everyone but themselves 2 smart minority who enjoy actual thinking process that get his style. 3 small group in between... pick your sp

Dr Myers is both patient and willing to elaborate on questions regarding his lectures. He gives examples frequently and uses humor tastefully to help make the material more digestible. Dr Myers is certainly not boring, to claim so reveals a certain lack of.. well.. intellect.I recommend Geology or perhaps Basket Weaving to cure your boredom. -Caz

Listen, Myers isn't your usual easy A teacher. He expects you to use your own brain and be intellectual. If you can keep up with him then you've got something good going on and you should use it to your advantage. If you want to challenge yourself and really feel like you earned an A, dare yourself to take this class.

Good teacher, boring subject. He makes it as entertaining as he can. Does reviews for the test, which are helpful. Likely don't even need the book if take the 2x/week class.

Meyers is an excellent teacher. He asks questions relevant not only to the text but in reality. I think those that don't like his methods of teaching must not understand his humor. He made political science interesting for me and opened my eyes to political topics in todays society.

If any of you are expecting Robin Williams entertainment, or earth-shattering / heart-felt inspiration at this point in your life - then grow up a little. Dr. Myers is incredibly intelligent, coherent, patient, sometimes lenient, and willing to spend time with you. As an adult, you should already know this rule of thumb - don't have expectations

Doctor Myers class was super easy. It didn't take much to get an A except showing up to class and turning in the work on time. Everything you needed to know was in the syllabus and he didn't expect too much work from us. The final was super easy and he gave us a thorough review for it. Not bad for an online class with one lecture a week.

Have taken 2 online classes with Prof Myers and I would recommend him. Expectations are provided with the syllabus. If you use the online assignment tool (Aplia) you will do fine. There is no busy work. Aplia itself does not always match the book and you have to learn by error. but Myers is great. Offers hints before the final even.

Great professor. The tests were very easy, he gave good study guides, and was very helpful, understanding, and interesting. Very lengthy slides, so just get them online, and take misc. notes. Would recommend the cheap textbooks for the few questions on the study guides not covered in the slides.

Online class has a lot of classwork through Aplia. I wasn't very fond of the site's interface, but it wasn't terrible. Prof. Myers dropped 3 weeks worth of homework, but I don't know if that is the norm. Requires a 6 page research paper due at finals, so you need to actually understand the material enough to write one. Overall good professor.

Some of these comments are ridiculous. Myers occasionally talks about his experiences when they are relevant to the class. Unfortunately, most students don't have the intelligence to plug two and two together. Take this class only if you're interested and intelligent or else your going to have a bad time like these commentators.

I took online course and it wasn't too bad. You use Aplia for all of your work (homework/quizzes). Then you have a P.E. paper(2 pgs long), forecast paper, and a final. NOT that hard if you dedicate SOME time. I would really recommend the online course, its an easy B, especially, if you have a lot of classes/busy semester like i did.

Myers is a very inspiring teacher. He has a good sense of humor and is clear in what he expects. I have had him for three classes and have enjoyed all of them.

Very clear and willing to spend time with you to make sure you understand the material. He has a wicked sense of humor.

Very fun and informative class.

I never had a great econ teacher like Todd. He uses powerpoint directly from the book! Each day he reviews from what we previously learned following the new chapter. Each exam is 5 chapters but VERY easy. Read the chapters and you will do great!No surprises. 1 PE essay and a cancer research essay. NO HOMEWORK.

Todd is a great teacher! He's entertaining & engages his audience. He relates the concepts to relevant things. He's straightforward, nice, & wants you to succeed. Do the readings & study them, & you'll be fine. Be sure to finish the readings before class also, as this will help you learn the material better. Highly recommend.

Classes revolve around films and discussions about politics. Very helpful with research paper and knows something about everything.

Myers is funny, gives study guides for tests, and has your write a research paper. Best teacher at Grossmont.

Conversational lectures, is very thorough on each and every concept. Appreciates interaction, but generally won't mark you off for not saying much. Uses a lot of slides, but not excessively so, and you can always go online to blackboard to see anything again.

It is not that hard to get an A in the class. He drops three of the lowest test scores in aplia. He also is very helpful if you ask him questions.

Great professor. I've taken him for two classes, and I got A's both times. His tests are online, and they aren't extremely difficult. Just make sure you read the book because absolutely nothing he said from his lecture was on his tests. He makes lectures interesting. He's a little out there, but he's cool. He'll answer any questions you have.

4 online tests, all on 3-4 chapters. Weekly homework which is the worst part of the class. Homework allows 3 attempts, but has no relevance to the test questions. The homework assignments are averaged to be the 5th component of your grade. 4 tests and homework avg is your overall grade. Funny and nice guy but lectures are boring. Class is optional.

Class is not too difficult. He explains concepts with good detail. He will answer questions during office hours.

100% online class and textbook. Homework on aplia each week was tedious, but not difficult. Discussion questions also due each week. Was easy to reach by email. Research paper due at the end. Don't let it sneak up on you and you'll be fine. Overall, class was pretty fun. He enjoys what he does.

I'll make it clear off the bat, Professor Myers is an amazing lecturer if you are majoring as Poli Sci. He lectures don't relate to the material, but he is interesting and very out there, in a good way. 4 tests, 1 paper, two essays. If you aren't interested in Poli Sci, I would say pass. But if you are, highly recommend Professor Myers.

Difficult online class if new to econ ideas. Grade consists of equal parts: forum, research paper, final and aplia exercises. The forums are interesting. Research paper was fun and straight forward. Aplia assignments are challenging, must read text and lectures. Final exam is difficult. Fair at grading.

Oh Todd Myers... He is a character! I always saw people dozing off during his lectures but I always thought he was funny and entertaining despite the subject. His class is very simple, take the 4 tests, write your essay and you will be fine. If you ask for help he will go above and beyond to help you. I had him for 3 semesters and I learned a lot.

As a political science major, I enjoyed Prof. Myers' lectures greatly! However, he does often stray away from the topics we are suppose to learn about. He is strange, yet humorous. 4 online tests and a 10-page paper is basically the grade. Textbook is a must. Also, I suggest this course for political science majors for the content is advanced.

When Mr Myers discussed the lectures he was fairly effective at narrowing down the most important parts of each chapter. However, he tends to go off topic and talk about politics alot which gets very irritating. This is an economics class not political science. He is reasonable and cares about his students. Overall decent teacher.

His online class was pretty easy, only reason I got a C was because I missed a few responses from his weekly assignment and because I didn't study much to prepare myself for the tests. Will be taking his class again because his class is self explanatory just have to apply yourself to actually read the chapters. Determined to get an A next semester.

This was by far my most difficult class of the semester, but also the most rewarding. His knowledge of, and work in the field is incredible. It can be a bit intimidating at first but were lucky to have this caliber of Professor here at Grossmont. He was always happy to answer questions and help me keep up with the lecture. Cares about students

Amazing professor! I took both his econ 120 and 121 classes, and I always recommend him to my friends! The course is pretty straight forward, read the textbook and you will do well on the homework and test. He is very understanding, and is very helpful if you need help with the topics!

An extremely thorough and understanding professor. The way he thinks and believes makes you see things from a different perspective. His attendance was not mandatory and he did get off topic at times, but always made sure it applied to the work. Consistently changed due dates to make things easier for students

This class had no zoom meetings and the only assignments were 6 multiple choice Tests. Read the book, study, and you will pass. There were 3 extra credit assignments that you can do that was interesting and helpful so make sure you do them.

Right off the bat, free textbook and only graded off 6 exams the entire semester. If economics is a passion of yours then you're going to love this class, if not as long as you do the reading and take notes you'll be okay. He's insanely difficult to get a hold of, but just pay attention and read all the course material and you'll have no issues.

He only has exams for you to do

Dr. Myers is a good professor to take. He's friendly and respectful with his students. There's 1 easy assignment at the beginning of the semester, 6 fairly easy tests you'll have to take, and he gives out extra credit if you complete some economic reflection assignments halfway through the semester. This class is an easy A. He's very caring too!

Not sure how anyone could find him a difficult professor unless taken in person? Super easy, 1 discussion post a week literally worth ONE point as a makeup or free point if you miss a question on the test. Textbook is free but I never read it. He didn't speak much other than some announcements and info on topics so if you don't like that be aware.

I missed my test so I emailed him asking if I could take it, and within one hour he responded and opened it back up for me and he did not even ask why I missed it. Amazing teacher! + He does NOT bombard you with a ton of homework... the hw is 1 discussion post weekly; 2 replies... but you learn a lot and it was lowkey simple/straight to the point

Very nice grader. If you are really good at staying within due dates, this class is really good for you. Took this class as a junior over summer and still ended up with a good grade I definitely recommend it!!

Very simple assignments and was a fast responder with emails for an all online class. Was an easy grader on the discussion posts as long as you follow the rubric, and exams were not bad at all!

I had a great experience with him. He's AMAZING at timely responses and grading, this is such an important trait for professors since it shows he respects students and their time. The class weight is half effort half tests, so you can afford a bad test or two. If you fail, it's solely due to lack of effort on the students' part.

This is a good professor and he is very nice, this class was very easy and I would take this class again.

SUPER EASY CLASS! Super boring class and pretty much talks about nothing just his personal life and what-ifs. Talks ab nothing on the exam however the answers are right there on google. No homework or attendence needed. I took this class pretty much with my eyes closed it was so easy. I highly recommend of you need easy credit.
