No Comments
he is a very good teacher. its an easy A.
He is a very nice, experienced, and knowledgable instructor. His class is the most special and interesting class I have ever taken. Highly recommended!
very good teacher...
#1!!! Don't even think about it, just PICK HIM. I always find these classes hard, but he made it very clear.
I disagree with most peoples' opinions. Yes, he is a very easy A. He is also pretty good at explaining things. But he leaves it up to you to learn plenty of stuff. Classes only go for 1/2 of the scheduled time. If you plan on getting your money's worth, pass on him.
Terrible teacher, doesn't even read your test answers or homework. You won't learn from him, a lot of self-teaching is involved. If you are unclear about something, he will not clarify it for you.
He is a great teacher. His teaching style really relates to real life. Take him and you will learn interesting information, especially if you are a business major.
Good teacher, great class
I like the way he incorporates real life examples into the theories. Only suggestion: he needs to ask the people who don't want to be there to leave so the rest of us aren't distracted.
Very good Teacher you will learn a lot in a short time. take this teacher. very helpful, very easy, and very clear. 201, 202. Any indian reading this please take this teacher.
Mr. Albanos is a great teacher. He understands the educational value the students of today hold. He is definitely recommended for everyone to take.
He is a great instructor. i strongly recommended
A great teacher who has real life experience. enjoyed his class very much!
he is kool teacher. take home test, he is a meat person so the answer has to be more than 5 or 6 pages but no matter what's on it. just 4 test and all take home also project at the end of the class. very easy teacher take with him
Oh GOD, what can i say about Albanos. Easy A. lazy teacher, take home tests, no quizes, no homework, i showed up to the class 4 times, the whole quater and got an A. I love Mr. Albanos, if you are lazy, take this teacher.
if you're taking this class as a prereq (med, pharm...etc) and not a business major, take his class, sure to give your gpa a boost. take home everythings, no homework, definitely an easy A. highly recommended for nonbusiness majors(you wont learn much if you're a business major)
Hi, I just want to say a few words about this instructor, he is the best teacher that I ever had in COD because he is very friendly, trustful, and honest in teaching. He gives extra information in his leccture to make us really understandable for the things.I really want to thank this instructor for being there for his students whenever we need him
Hi, Mr. Albanous is the best teacher,he is very good I took with him 201 and 202 now and I am hoping to got an A's in both classes and my god help me in every step I go through...all I can say take this class with him and you will win his knowledge and you will never regret it because his class is very nice and fun and its nice to meet Mr.Albanos
Great teacher.
hey this is me mr albanos has a bunch of knowledge and he is really deserve to get an award no doubt he is easy and plus you will learn alot if your major is business take with him...
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MR. ALBANOS. HE IS A VERY NICE GUY. I'LL SAY THE MOST EASY TEACHER IN C.O.D. 4 TAKE HOME TESTS WITH ONE WEEK TO DO THEM AND A PRESENTATION WHICH IS VERY EASY. HALF THE CLASS GOT AN A; NOT BECAUSE HE LIKES TO GIVE A'S BUT BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS EASY. TAKE HIM AND YOU WONT REGRET IT. TRUST ME I GOT AN A.
Mr. Albanos was a excellent professor. He is highly intelligent, patient, easy going, but sticks to the point. I enjoyed class, learned so much, and has a great experience with Mr. Albanos. I am so fortunate to have received him as my first college professor. He works very hard for his students and make us feel valued, That alone makes a great teac
This guy is a bum, hes one of those teachers that got a teaching job because of his knowledge and not teaching skills. Hes totally COD-type material. His grading doesnt distinguish the smart people from the dumb people. If you want a B without learning take him.
this guy is prejudice about indians and pakistanis.if u r desi,do not sign up with him.he looks at your desi name and keeps your paper aside.Although I got an A in his class I do not recommend him.trust me I had a hard time convincing him that I did not cheat from previous students,but who cares now.I have earned my A.
great teacher take him
PROF ALBANOS IS GREAT, IF YOU GO TO CLASS ITS AN A FOR SURE, JUST DO THE ARTICLES, HE IS AWESOME
show up to class and get an A
easy easy easy class
i took his class in summer, he taught me how to think, how to understand the big picture of the economy, and i tried my best to do the final presentation as a final exam, he is a very nice guy, talk to him after the class, u may know more about him. Almost all of my fds got an "A" in his class, wonderful, they are so happy!
BORING! But I learned there are 137 tiles on the ceiling. Not only is the book a better teacher, it also has a better personality. Yes ull get an A in this class, but why have to sit through this damn class for a semester and fall asleep everyday. Ide rather learn something and get my A.
dont make the mistake of having him. he's just too lazy. anyone can get any grade, i got a B after having done all my work. i knew really stupid people in the class who got A's after getting papers from some where else. i hate him because although i worked really hard i got a B and some didnt do anything and got away with easy A's. THAT IS NOT FAIR
Mr. Albanos seems to be very unhappy with his life. no expressions throught the lecture that makes it super boring. I really didnt learn anything from him, if your major is not economics sign up with him. he will atleast give you a B, if you just show up to class. have fun!
I took this man for summer school. He was so boring. I hope this man stays at a community college cause thats what he deserves. I got an A in this class, but only after studying on my own damn time. No wonder no university wants to hire him.
i think that this guy isnt that bad. people say he is lazy but i guess its alright as every person is different. if you want to just earn a grade without learning anything & putting in any effort he is THE PERSON. go for him!!!
A W E S O M E
Don't take his class you can't learn anything from him. Boring calss and the person right down me borring as hell. everybody to waitting to get out from the class. For gradding is depends on his mood i was really stdying and i got b and another person was not doing anything and kissing is ass got A. he makes you to take his junk notes Don't take it
Mr.Albanos is very nice. He might not be the most exciting teacher, but is easygoing. Not much work in class, just 4 tests and a major project at the end of semester.
He is the Best Economics Teacher at COD. I learned alot of basics in his class. He is very calm, nice and understanding. He treat everyone same and very easy to talk.Very interserting class. Everyone should sign up for his class. I gave him A+. Noman Khan, Economics 2201, Saturday 8:00A- 11:50A. Fall Quater 2005.
he is cool, teacher, very helpfull and teaches very good. i took his class at Sat. 8-12pm and it was awsome. he knows the economy almoust in every country. his tests are not hard, but you have to make sure you do well on your fina progect. Good luck-Marija Dimitrova
Brought meaning and understanding to previously meaning less economic terms we here about in our daily lives in a fashion that kept our interest.
really nice, understanding teacher. its an easy A if you have good attendance. just dont have an argument with him, be on his good side. take notes in his class ( he likes that). i got C's and D's on the test but got an A in the class
Really nice guy helped me out alot with his project, and i did really bad on some tests but i ended up with an A, just show up to his class.
Good class
The best teacher ever.He is very helpful.He rocks
his class was not easy, i wrote many pages for him, explained everything clearly to get my "A". he wont count how many pages u wrote, he will see what u wrote and how u explain thing! he has a very clear mind too! he is cute!
this man was a good teacher always helped us out and was always kind to his students....he realized that his students had a life outside of class and would be leniant if you showed interest and showerd up to class....just show up to class participate and you'll easily getta A hang around with smart people to trust me :-) haha
I have had Mr. Albanos all year, and I gotta say he is one of the best teachers COD has to offer. He is willing to work with the students, and guide you instead of just handing out an assignment with no instrustions. Show up everyday and participate in the class discussions and u should do fine.
he's by far the best teacher I've had for any econ class. TAKE HIM
He is one of the best teacher in the COD, He always willing to help the students and he is dedicated to his work, and always happy with his students.
He is very smart and helpful. Knows a lot about the subject and holds many discussions on surrent events. Just make sure you show up to class and do your work, and you will be fine!

You can tell by the number of negative comments to the good ones that the negative ones are from ignorant people. Econ is a form of business, and if you know anything about business you know it can not be taught at any level to anyone. Dr. Albanos understands this and teaches by forcing us to learn on our own.
Hello, Mr.Albanos is one of the best professors i have ever had. He is willing to help you out anytime. I must say that He knows every single topic in book. He doesnt just read book or notes like other teachers. But he still covers all points and relates with current news..make sure to show up in his class and do your work..Definately "A"..have fun
He is good if you are willing to work with him. He is understanding & very caring. Just do your work & there is no reason for you not to get a good grade. I'd definetly recommend him!!
u cant help but like this professor. the class requires work but he's fair at grading. i took an econ class before and got a D but i retook it wit Albonos and got an A!
he is a must take teacher... quick take him in the summer cause his not teaching in fall....easy A teacher... attendance is required....thats all, really...
MUST TAKE HIM. He is a very nice teacher and extremly helpful. Take good notes in class will help you with your tests. All tests are take home!! They are kind of time consuming but he grades accordingly. Attendance is required but class isn't so bad. Big final project due at end of semester.
the class was very easy but i didnt learn much. If you want to learn econ take a different teacher like mitch fisher
TAKE HIM!NO TESTS! all 15 pg pprs easy, makes u think its hard and involes lot of work but its doable summer class involves three pprs that r pretty fair b.c its on questions and he gives u answers in class TAKE GOOD NOTES or GOOGLE it nd add details he loves depth. show up to class and MAKE SURE U PICK GOOD PPL IN UR GROUP. BIG GROUP PROJECT.
Good Economics teacher.
Absolutely terrible. Requested a full refund for the 8 weeks I wasted here. Lectures were on unrelated material; didn't cover the textbook ever in class.
Mr. Albanos knows his stuff. Other than attendance being mandatory, you'll have no regrets with him. You literally have 3 tests (which are straight from his lectures) and 1 project. He's completely understanding and easygoing. Highly recommend!! -Gina
Truly exceptional individual! Take him no matter what! Best overall quality compared to any other teacher at COD. I am so happy i took him. You will not regret it. I actually learned something!
Best economics teacher hands down. Actually knows what's going on in the world. He's not like any other teacher you've taken before. You will not regret it. Just thank me later. His classes get full quickly so don't be late to register. Come to class and take notes.
Ignore the foolish comment below! This teacher is amazing! You will never come across a better economics instructor in your life! He actually goes above and beyond to convey the material. Very well done.
it was an honor being a part of his classroom. Thank you for existing.
I can't believe how much this professor actually went out of his way to help the students in class. I am very impressed and plan to take 2202 with him as soon as possible. I have never had a better classroom experience in my life. He changed my life.
Very experience and well rounded. Has been all over the world and a very respected figure in the economics community. This economist has been published extensively in numerous publications. His work is a must read for any interested person. What more can I say? A+++
This professor is very easy if you just pay attention. He is extremely helpful. You will be surprised as to how far he will go to help you. His clarity is crystal and very comprehensible. I wasn't so interested in economics until I took this class. Now it's my life. This instructor is still teaching and is kind of cute too. ;-)
Easy, Helpful, clear, interesting, mandatory attendance, high textbook use, still teaching, 3 take home tests, one group project/presentation, four 5-min articles to present to class. 5*****STARS!!!
Absolutely outstanding! Don't waste your time looking for another teacher. Material is very well prepared. Knows the textbook inside out. BEST VALUE without a shadow of doubt.
He is one awesome professor. his lectures are clear, he teaches out of the textbook, and what the other comments about him are true. hands down and whoever is saying something bad about him is stupid. He needs to teach Micro.
He is a fantastic teacher and he let us go early too! He never use books so don't buy books!
One of the best. Knows stuff, connects it to the reall world.Interesting, mandatory attendance, 3 take home tests, one group project/presentation, four 5-min articles to present to class. 5*****STARS!!!
Kinda easy- kinda hard professor.! tests are take home.... if u dont take notes from class youll find a hard time answering test questions.... easy points for articles reading.. and also just show interest in the class and he will like you and give u good grades! def recommend him!!!
Never uses book so dont buy books! Easy A! Gives Homework Quizzes and gives a lot of time to complete it! No Exams! Just one partner project!
Funny teacher makes you laugh, 3 articles that you read in front of the class, 2 essays (more pages the better)Book is required for articles and some of the essay questions, no homework, and last day presentation, and he will take off points if you don't show to class. Overall, a laid back teacher.
A great teacher overall & knows what he is talking about. Laid back and easy going. The articles are current articles you choose that relate to class material and you describe them to the class. The group presentation is kind of tough but that's all you really work on and the exams. Take detailed notes and you'll be fine. Great teacher! Take him!!!
Easy class! Tests are easy since all are take home. You also do article presentations where you find article related to business and summarize to class. finally you do a group project and get whole semester to do. then you present to class. that is your final exam right there. Loved this class with professor albanos.
Great Professor! Really knows what he is talking about and shares great stories connecting to the material. He's a funny likable guy and tells it like it is. I learned a lot from this man and now understand many of the important issues being talked about on the news. Pay attention because he has a lot of great useful information to share.
Mr. Albanos was a very good teacher. He not only has experience to bring to the classroom, but also real life examples that really help portray the meaning of some economic philosophies. Overall, he really makes you work for your grade, but the class is do able and very beneficial since all the work you do is real world applicable.
Albanos is a great professor. Really knows his stuff and makes sure you will too. Don't take this class for a walk in the park because its a lot of hard work. His style of testing is very effective and shows what you've learned opposed to those crappy standardized tests schools think are effective. If you do ur best and care an A should be possible
Great professor! His exams are difficult, but they are take home. He gives you weeks in advance and each exam shouldn't take more than a couple hours. As long as you do the speech, finish the exams on time, and show up to class you can get an A
Very intelligent and gives real world examples. He explains the material from the book. The tests are take home and provide another opportunity to apply the information. They take several hours to complete, but we were given three weeks to complete it. In class, we had to present articles about economics in the news. Each only takes a minute or so.
Took him for micro. Knows A LOT about the subject. His lectures were pretty easy as he gives opportunity to ask questions and makes sure you know what he's talking about. Show up, take notes, do the tests on time (3 take home each take a couple hours), and we also did group presentation. All in all, I really enjoyed him as a teacher.
Mr. Albanos is the best microecon teacher bc he knows what he's talking about and applies all that stuff to your everyday lives so that you can understand. The tests are take home and he's extremely helpful if you ask for help. I would highly recommend taking him.
Great teacher, explains in detail, and helpful. You take 3 take home exams, do 3 individual small presentation on current articles (extremely helpful, makes you learn on what is going on currently and applying it to it) and finally a group presentation. He is very knowledgeable and knows what he is talking about. Take him! you wont regret it.
He is an excellent teacher. Easy A class, if you do all the assignments.
Great Professor with a lot of knowledge! Professor Albanos teaches you a lot about how our real world events are shaped or affected by economics. He breaks down complex ideas for us to understand. There are 4 required article presentations, a project, and three take home exams. Overall, I learned a lot and really enjoyed coming to class!
After attending the first couple of days we were told we had to write a group paper that is 40-80 pages long. I was going to drop the class but decided to stay and it really is doable. Every 2 weeks you have to show him an updated version which really helps. He is a very knowledgeable professor and I enjoyed taking his class.
Awesome teacher! take him!
Very unhelpful and boring. Should not teach anymore.
This is a really boring professor. He clearly states his view points which will bother some of the students. Take home tests but there only like 30% of the grade. Its an easy class. He wants you to read the book.
Great teacher he is very helpful nice and wants you to learn real life examples. 3 take home tests One group paper and a great teacher! Must take this class. Do the work and you get an A! Thanks for a great class
Mr Albanos uses his real life examples to help understand each topic. He is 1 of the best teachers I have taken. Everyone looks for a easy teacher. He's not easy, he teaches clearly through examples that u understand and are able to recognize the economics that go on in the world. This class will allow you to make better future money decisions.
Awesome professor. Very old school. All tests are take home!! No final, but there is a group project to replace that. Take notes, read textbook, and expect an A
This class was great the material and teaching method used was very helpful. Great teacher and great real life examples the class is not easy you have one big group project and 3 test. Great teacher must take him you will enjoy the class!
Very easy class if you follow the guidelines given to you. There are 3 take home tests, and one huge project. The project seems hard when you first hear about it but it's really not. He has a "show me day" every other week to see your progression in the project. DO IT, other whys you WILL get a 0. Great teacher with real life experiences!
I took both my ECON courses with him. He makes it more helpful and doable than other Econ classes. You will definitely learn something in this class! He has a great teaching style. Recomemended!
He is very understanding and he will work with you through out the whole semester very nice person. Overall there are 3 take home test all questions on test are from his lectures no surprises. There are 4 articles you need related from the chapters in the book very very easy. There is one group project PLEASE SELECT YOUR OWN GROUP IF YOU CAN!!
best teacher i took him for both micro and macro great teacher& great examples. really wants you to understand what hes teaching. highly recommend! thanks mr albanos for a great year!
Great teacher, very sweet, clear guidelines, very helpful! Such a sweet nice guy, definitely would take him again!
