VERY HELPFUL, answers all questions, lectures clear, good test review

Great Teacher, good for summer school

Great teacher, makes class interesting and informative

Confusing to a first-time economics student. Sometimes goes on tangents during lectures, but always very enthusiastic and willing to help students. Exams are quite easy and there are extra credit opportunities.

Great guy! Pretty much just talks all period, but if you listen it's a snap. Always takes questions, very helpful.

Genuinely understands that his students are his "customers". Very helpful, loves teaching, brings current day events into the topic matter. I highly recommend him.

Material is boring but he gives plenty of extra credit! If he is late to class you get points added to your final average! Impossible to fail his class

very dynamic lecturer, but exams were tough.

Read the book, read it a lot. His lectures are interesting, but they just highlight the book. He tends to meander a bit, but it is all very interesting. He's always willing to discuss anything you don't understand.

Presents concepts in a "non-technical" manner. Provides lots of examples. Curves tests, clarifies all points, and gives you an opportunity to write a 5 page paper on Economic concepts for 5 points to your average. Pay attention to his lecture, ask questions, and you will do WELL! Enjoy his class.

My favorite teacher at UH! He is so sincere with his teaching style and wants his students to feel comfortable with the material. Offers plenty of opportunity to get extra credit and support from him outside the classroom. Has college age kids and understands our needs. Very sweet and intelligent!

Professor Alexander is the greatest and easiest teacher in the world. I came to class like 8 times this whole semester. I didnt even have a book and didnt study anything but the 10 question practice test and passed the class with a C. U have to be a real idiot to fail this class.

i rarely showed up, browsed over the book for about an hour before each test and made an a.

Prof Alexander is awesome. If you need help after, he will help! He is great

yo gotta be stupidest basstrd to fail this class its just too phukin easy

A good teacher; if you want an easy A, this is a class for you. Read/highlight the book alot b/c that where the tests come from. His lectures are great if your questions; ask any question and learn. Otherwise, his tone might bring you to sleep.

Um... is this the same as Bill Alexander? I would assume so and that is why I signed up for this class. If it is then it isn't nearly as easy as everyone says it is, at least not so far and we have taken one test. Aplia quizzes are freaking hard and the lectures don't really seem to help. He is a nice guy but the class is just hard.

He's a nice teacher, he lectures the whole time and welcomes questions. You have online assignments and his tests, all i did was read the book and made an A.

this class was hard when it first started, but i got help on the aplia assignments, and i dont go to class that much, cause his lectures are kinda boring, for the test i read the book and i make a pretty good grade. but thats reading alll the chapters. its a class if u like the subject, but hes still a super nice teacher.

EASY class. Read the book, do the assignments, and you should get an A. He's nice, always encouraging questions/comments. Gives lots of bounus points/dropped grades/make ups/curves, so you CAN'T FAIL. Lectures are sort of boring, but nothing too bad. He asks questions to the class sometimes, but its just common sense. RECOMMENDED!!

u will soon get bored of "Any questions folks? Any questions?" So d point is don't go to class if this will annoy you... just do the aplia and study b4 tests do ur extra credit and get an A. He will drop ur lowest test grade... that's good

Dr. Alexander is a very nice teacher. He can answer the students’ problems with courtesies. The tests compose of multiple choice questions and essays. Students can get full grade of essays if they answer them in test. Students can turn in one paper to get extra points."

I think he goes by Bill Alexander too. Well, I have to admit that he was the nicest and easiest teacher for economics. He gives you extra credit paper which can boost your grade up 5 points. He has 3 tests, drop one. He has Aplia homework and they're not hard. I suggest that you read the book before attending lectures. You need to read the book!

okayy teacher..his tests are pretty straight foward, basically you need to come to class like every day to do good on his exams cuz they reflect his notes. the aplia assignment is useless, just makes econ more confusing, but it is 20% of ur grade. drops 1 exam from the 3, and gives alot of xtra credit points, including the 5 xtra to curve your avg.

i struggled in this class from day 1. i studied off the book (doesn't help at all) and made horrible grades. he's too monotone and tends to come late to class 80% of the time; yet, he gives extra credit like a couple points on the tests. 3 tests, drops the lowest one, aplia assignments and 1 comprehensive final. i personally hate economics

Two tests (48% each) and participation (4%). Tests are relatively easy as long as you read and study the book, do not only study the notes! Tests consist of multiple choice but essays are also on them.

He is easy going and nice. I strongly suggest to read and do the homework..Aplia. The class was easy and if you read and keep up with the homework then you will do well in the class.

Very nice teacher, great at what he does. Economics is a confusing subject to begin with, but prof. Alexander breaks it down as best as he can. I would recommend him for future students.

Although he comes late quite a bit, he always gives extra credit when he does. Tests come straight from his lectures, so if you come to class, it's hard to fail.

Easy to understand notes. Extra credits and decent curve. You should walk out with an A or B while leaning something.

Very nice, truly cares about his students, and explains things very well - wants you to do well in his class.

Greatest Econ Professor ever!! Will accomodate student with disablity unlike any other!!! I never read the book! Never studied for test and made and A. Cares more than any professor and will be there for students when they need help! Wonderful professor!!! Take him!!! Best class ever!!

Nice teacher. talks too fast, his sentense structure is full of floby words, so Search for what he wants to say. He is very fair, very helpful, loves to stay after class to chat, fast classes, easy tests. Loved the class.

Lectures aren't very helpful, but he is extremely nice and very helpful. Test are easy, classes are short, and he gives extra credit.

He is a great teacher, but does not talk about what is on the book you read which is aplia. Great personality and can help you if you need it. Tests are departamental and he does talk about the test, although I did not read before I went to class. If you pay attention do your aplia assignments and take some notes you will be fine. Just try.

Great person, super dedicated to the students, puts out strong effort for the class, very prepared!

Take him!!!! Yes he might be late at times, but due to this he will give you extra credit. 3 exams only takes the 2 best grades plus a final. A 5pg paper will add 5 points to your overall grade. Curves aplia, and is very helpful and is willing to help you. He is great!

Great Professor. I'm studying for the final now. My current avg. is a 101. 3 tests, drops the lowest. His greatest strength is his one on one time with students. Talk to him if you take him. Get to know him and you will love the class. I just read the book a few times and did the questions. my grade day before final = 101. Take him.

This class is Microeconomics. He lectures all class period and writes the notes on the board which can sometimes be hard to read. If you want to understand the lecture, read before class! He is helpful if you go in and talk to him and he is understands that you have a full time job. His tests are multiple choice and essay but he grades easy.

I found his Managerial Analysis class very useful. I think most who had some difficulty were because they had very little prior exposure to economics. But for those of us who did he takes it to the level where you begin to apply the theory to real world practice. His tests were essay and m. choice he gave hints to what essays would be on the tes

The class is simple. Read the chapters carefully, do the aplia assignments (they count as a grade), and do the extra credit paper if needed. It's as simple as that. I didn't go to class for his lectures but I did everything above and made an A in the course. He doesn't grade based on + and - so this class is a good way to bring up gpa.

God, he wasn't an easy teacher. you meet him, think oh he's nice, this should be good, and he WANTS to help you and gives you all these scenarios that are real world style but honestly I learned next to nothing. He tries to fill the time by getting the class involved in asking questions. Psh. Nice guy though, very hard class. Gotta study REALLY har

Prof cares about the subject but large disconnect between lectures and the tests. You will have to read the book and teach yourself entirely. Curve is generous though for Bs and Cs.

The material can be dull if you've not done much economics before. The Prof. draws a lot of graphs and explains real world applications in class, but you MUST read the text for the exams. He's very approachable & really makes a genuine effort to help the students. Extra credit paper definitely helps grades. Sample questions are important.

Notes are kind of scattered, but he teaches well overall! 3 MC tests (drops lowest), departmental final, weekly online homework, and optional paper for extra credit. Easy class. Either go and take notes, or don't go and read the book. He's VERY nice, helpful, and spirited. Also gives bonus points for going to football games! :-)

Attendance isn't mandatory - he will call you out if you're more than 15 mins late.There are 3 exams plus a departmental final. 1 extra credit paper that can add 5 points to your grade. Aplia hw due every wk. Books is free on APLIA,print ch's and go2 class! Pretty good prof. easy B, final was HARD!! study!

One of the best teachers at UH. He's really easy, just study the chapters(which are short), and know the graphs(not hard). Easy A. 3 tests(drops lowest), final, and 1 ex. credit paper adding 5 pts to ur overall final grade. About 15 applia hws throughout the semester. Also gives ex. credit for going to football games. Definitely taking him again.

Easy class. No attendance check. You don't need to go to class everyday. Just read the book,understand the materials and do applia homeworks. The test is multiple choices. You just need to come to the day before test to learn his review and you will be fine. I got an A without much effort.

Not an extremely challenging course, attendance is not mandatory. He's really a nice guy, just really boring... If you can handle it, dont go to class and just read your book at home and do all the aplia hw. Outline the chapters before the test and you'll do good. Large curves on basically everything. EC paper that adds 5 pts to total grade!!!

Attendance is not needed, but if you go to class he will recognize it and in the end it pays off. His lectures are borig its really hard to pay attension. Just read and know the chapters and do aplia assignments and tests arent so bead. He curves everything. Comprehensive departmental final, he is the one who writes it so thats a plus.

I failed every single test i took and did 1 or 2 aplia homeworks and i STILL got out with a C. Trust me, he knows this class isn't easy and the massive curve at the end reflected it.

Easy A. Must read book to get a good grade. All of the test questions are taken straight from the book. Outline each section and pay attention for conditionals to outline with, such as, "IF demand goes up then X happens". Memorize all conditionals, graphs, and formulas. Extra credit paper is worth doing for adding points to your average.

I will be taking him again. The information was difficult to pick up but he was always more then willing to help. Defiantly go to class. Although he does not take attendance he notices who does and doesnt show up to class and it plays a big role in grade. By the book because it really helped me with vocab.

Attendance not mandatory but to do well you should come, he recognizes those who show up to class and it may earn you extra points in the end as well. A lot of extra credit opportunities such as going to games, optional paper on any economics topic etc. I recommend him.

He's an easy professor of course; but his lecture's boring. Read the book and teach yourself, and you're fine. Yes he curves; but trust me, it DOESN'T affect your overall really much. He curves 10 points for your test and aplia and that's all. The rest of it is just your effort. I passed this class with a B, and trust me, it's all my own effort.

Hes a great professor, very clear, concise and up to the point. Class isnt mandatory but everything on his lectures are on his test. I would recommend this class if you like economics and have a good understanding of it. GREAT TEACHER!

He knows what he is talking about, he just doesn't know that you may not know what he is talking about. Read the book as the test is from the book and not his lectures. His lectures are designed to really just be supplemental knowledge.

Mr. Alexander is a smart economics teacher. It is crucial to read and understand all concepts from the book as class notes will not help all that much for the test. I did find it helpful to attend class and he offers an extra credit paper adding 5 pt. bonus to your average.

Great Professor, really gets along well with student, always open to questions. Final was very different from what he taught in class, but his 5 point extra credit more than compensates for it.

He is one of the best core professors I have had! What a nice guy and great professor! The lectures can be somewhat difficult to take notes from, so it is best to just write down what he has on the board and listen to his discussions and examples. As long as you read the book, the homeworks and tests are easy. Would highly recommend him!

He really cares about the students, and will go back and explain anything. The lectures are pretty much the same as the book,and the notes he writes on the board don't really make sense, but if you go to class and make an effort he grades leniently.

His lectures are there to prepare you for what's going on in the real world. They might come off as irrelevant to what's on Aplia, but he also cares about your future. He's there for you if you just ask. Take Aplia seriously because a lot of the material there are on the exams. Great man overall, great professor.

Professor Alexander is a very smart professor who doesn't only talk about what we've been reading in the textbook, but brings in real-life situations that we can relate to today. His exams are fairly easy as long as you stay up to date with the reading chapters assigned and participation isn't mandatory, but he does ask us a couple of questions

Micro is the worst class I've ever taken, but not because of prof Alexander. He does a good job of applying concepts to real world, but that isn't helpful on exams. Aplia HW's are horrible. Basically have to teach yourself in order to get a good grade on them. Drops lowest test grade. Prepare for lots and lots of studying.

The professor is obviously knowledgeable in his field. Take this class if you have some background knowledge in Econ. He does come to class late almost every day, but other than that, not too bad. Just listen in class, sit in the front and answer questions, and you'll breeze through. Be sure to read. And hear the same examples over and over.

He curves the tests, he curves the aplia hw's, and I think he even curved everyone's overall grade in the course. His tests aren't bad if you understand the overall concepts he goes over in class. He is a really nice guy that is willing to answer any questions you may have during and after class. Just make sure you don't use your phone/laptop.
