he laughs at his own jokes. Also, I think he looks more like Jerry Springer.

He makes eco. bareable

Wonderful prof who explains & organizes well

Made Economics my favourite subject

fair on tests, textbook is useless, lectures are good but gets off topic

expects you to have economics background!!

eco100 is a very good introductory course!

He's funny and explains stuff well; tests are fun and all from lecture

i loved eco.. and now i hate it... i wish i had an easier prof.. he makes eco too hard..to understand.. and too difficult on the tests..stupid stupid...DOH

Funny old guy made me love eco...All you need to do is going to lectures... Textbooks are for better understanding...i think his tests are related to his course material and if you want a good mark remember to do the past tests! his tests are all similar~

This guy rox. Sure he is harder than the other profs but then you actually come out with an understanding of economics. Looking at the marks list most Commerce students arent doing well but others are. BUY THE OLD TESTS. U COULD SKIP IF U GET THE TESTS

Very good, helpful prof, lectures in slow speech, so u'll have time to reflect and understand. If u can pick out the central concept b4 tests, then do the practice tests after, the actual test'll b smaller than a piece of cake.

An excellent prof who speaks clearly and explains concepts well. No need for text book, just use practice exams/tests to study, his tests are exactly the same.

This class is a joke if you did well in eco100. Wolfson is a great at teaching but can be arrogant at times. He also loves brown nosers and will give you teh cold shoulder if you aren't willing to suck up to him.

Professor Wolfson was a great help to me

David Lederman

Lecture assignments often do not help with tests. He was a good instructor, though.

Tough however excllent prof.

yo, this guy is the child of david letterman and jerry springer

You can tell this guy's in business and not a real academic (he owns a consulting firm or something). A bit unclear at times, but tests are predictable.

he has the hardest exams in ECO100. if you're not going to study and you really need good mark dont take it with him. but if you want good learning experince and academic challenge he is the best guy. altough i could have done better with other profs i don't regret taking the course with him.

cool guy, horrible exams.

Tests are a bit tricky, yes, but if you study past tests and review problem sets getting an A shouldn't be too hard.

Advice for 2005/2006 students: Wolfson seems intimidating at first, but if you study past tests and do problem sets getting in the Bs should be pretty easy. But tests do throw many curveballs, so watch out. His final exams are almost EXACTLY the same every year!

It's true about his term tests. I got in the low 80s for them then destroyed the final with 96. Just stick through him, you'll do great on the exam if you can handle his tests.

He is an amazing professor! His notes are extremly organized. He gives you tons of problems to drill you. He is very helpful and answers questions clearly. If you can stick through his term tests(they are difficult), you will do extremly well on the exam! In my books, he is one of the best professors at UFT.

he seems like a nice guy but after the first test u realize hes just a typical u of t prof and is just another trick which the institute has up its sleeve-he and the school pushes kids to the end of their rope and ppl wonder why U. students sometimes act in an irrational manner-it is because of schools like this and ppl like him

in a course that is intended to be based on theory - someone should have told the wolf this...he eats little boys and girls for dinner without even thinking twice or handing back papers covered in red ink."i thought i wrote my exam in blue?" hes trouble with a capital and kids should keep there distance.this creature should be caged where all can C

Awsom professor! Tough but fair!

I've taken 1 course and I loved it! Some may say it's self tourure, but yet I've actullay learned something from it. So I took another one. The Prof is good, he cares about his stuff and he wants you to learn more than what other Profs will teach in a similar course. It's my 3rd year and I refer back to his notes since I still find them useful.

just got back first test. the test was not as hard as i expected but one definitely had to study things outside of the lecture assignments! but the prof was fair in warning us and posting sample tests and quizzes on the website. overall, the class can be hard sometimes but it is very interesting

He is a pretty good professor. maybe he runs a consulting firm called WGW Services Ltd. his tests are fair.

he is very clear and and helpful!

Too much work comparing to other profs. A lot more difficult. If you want to get the grades, sign up for other sections. and if you want to learn something, why not just come to this section too? they never check your id anyway. and some people just bring their girls-boys in. so... guess you can just invite yourself.

Really hard prof but you learn a lot in his class....the key is asking him questions 1 on 1, he's pretty helpful though

I like the prof, hard tests, but if you understand and go to lectures, he's actually really good.

Nice guy, informative prof that gives good, clear lectures. HOWEVER, unless you're really into economics, save yourself the trouble and switch to another section for easier tests, because his are pretty brutal and he seems to take pride in that.

he is the best prof@ cant say he is an EASY prof. but you'll do GGOOD if you study. dont expect to get an A without putting in any efforts@!! he teachs very well, his notes are clearly understandable, and his notes are extremely easy to understand! he made the last test very easy@@@

HE is a brilliant teacher,funny and critical but has very hard exams, long in length all analytical graphical,compressed in 130hrs period.do you want to understand economics join his class, do you want to pass well think twice!!1

I had this guy in my second half for the summer, lectures were entertaining and for the most part i had an easy time understand most concepts

He is an excellent teacher (not professor!). But I think he is running a course different than what we are being evaluated for. His tests are extremely hard, and quite often unrelated or much beyond the level of the subject his is explaining in class, which can be misleading. I got 75 mark, but had to do ECOMAN to learn how to prepare for his tests

I failed the course. My advice is to start working hard from the beginning.

Excellent professor, gives very clear explanations and with his sense of humour he manages to keep the class awake through three hours of what is otherwise only mildly interesting material. His tests are challenging. You *can* get a good grade (I got a 96) but you need to put in some effort and make sure you understand the material really well.

Lectures are clear and concise - sometimes gets side-tracked with anecdotes. Tests are rigorous; easy to tell that he is weeding kids out. If you get through it, you're in good shape for further Economics courses.

good professor

Great

HE IS BRILLIANT!

Wolfson enjoys making his tests hard since he enjoys watching people struggle in class. About 60% dropped the course because of his insanity tests. He sometimes skips over major concepts too quickly. Don't go to his class, read the textbook it is VERY useful. His class will make you fall asleep guaranteed.

Working hard from the beginning and you'll get good marks. I barely passed at the beginning, but eventually I passed the requirement of both ECO and IR (>70). My grades gradually ascended with more efforts. My suggestion is 'DO NOT GIVE UP' because his FINAL exam (written part) is easier!! In addition, he is amusing! I do recommend this prof!

His tests are really hard but, like people say, is manageable if you do the sample tests. I find his classes quite interesting, especially on those days when he gives out the in-class prep worksheets to solve.

I think Wolfson is a great lecturer. Yes, things get a little dull after 3 hours on a Monday night, but if you're up to date with the material/paying attention, you'll find that Wolfson actually explains all the concepts really well and in logical sequence. He provides everything you need to do well on your tests, so take advantage of those things.

The greatest prof I've ever had! Lectures are long but he often uses jokes to keep us awake. He explains concepts clearly and tries to make them funny. Questions on tests are only related to fundamental concepts and they are repeating again and again every year! So just finish his sample tests, then you will receive an awesome mark!

One of the best profs I've ever had! Lectures are long but he often makes jokes to keep us awake. He explains concepts clearly and tries to make them funny. Tests questions are not that tricky and you will receive an awesome mark if you finish the sample tests.

WASTES SO MUCH TIME AND WAFFLES SO MUCH, GET INTO ANOTHER LECTURE!!

lec was boring most of the time but he knew wat he was talkin about, tests were extremely hard and unrelated to past tests, if you do all the problem and THEN u might have a chance to pass, hope he reads this to you guys during the first class

Great professor, organized in his work, gives clear teaching. He cares about students.

Wolfson is surely among the best profs you might get for ECO100 at UofT he's such a good and caring prof. he replies to e-mails very soon and helps his students a lot. Classes mustn't be skipped or else you'll fail for sure! Just follow his lectures carefully, do all his tutorial problems and get them corrected, you'll get A+ for sure in eco100!

ECO100 was definitely the hardest course I took in first year but professor Wolfs is fair. Just try not to fall behind and if you hate math then he's your guy because he encourages us to use calculus unlike the other professors. At least I got the grade required to take upper year ECO courses

Had Wolfson for eco200 and really enjoyed the lectures. Wolfson is a sweet guy who really cares about his students and he tells great stories. The one unfortunate thing is that his tests are crazy difficult, so study the past tests more than anything else. He's a very chill guy to talk to, so go to him even if you have a stupid question.

He's good at teaching and you will learn a lot from his lectures and in-class worksheets. Tests weren't too bad and were fairly straightforward, but exam was much more challenging. He's a fair marker though and will adjust marks so that the average is in the C/C+ range. Highly recommend attending all of his lectures and doing the practice problems.

A very good professor in Eco department. He is eager to help students understand concepts. Lectures are very long (3 hours per week), but very inspiritional so don't skip lectures. Tough tests but manageable if you invest enough time to practice and understand.

You'll pass if you pay attention on class.

An extremely difficult course taught by an extremely competent professor, I love Prof Ws classroom activities and handouts, Fully understanding his lectures requires you to put in hard work even before attending, by doing the assigned readings and staying caught up with homework, I majored in economics because of him and the way he taught intro eco
