Alan uses the textbook he wrote during the MBA 645 Macroeconomics. It is a very good entry point to Macroeconomics in terms of its everyday language.

He has 40+ years of teaching experience and he is a real gem. If you carefully follow his class, you will understand the concepts and you can be ready to prepare for a tough exam. You need to 100% correct to get 100% of the marks, else you get 0%.

Really takes you through the material and makes sure you understand every single bit of it. Explains theory as if you're inventing it together on the spot. Very funny. Uses his own textbook, which is very clearly written.

Alan is an inspirational, creative & sincere professor. He's down-to-earth & very easy to approach. He really cares for his students & shares his uniquely visual and humorous outlook on economics with them. He has a textbook which is written with the same kind of approach and is easy to read & understand. His exams are tough, but also fair. BEST!!!

Alan is definitely one of the best professors I ever met. Always ready-to-help and available for any questions, he will make you understand every single concept. Alan wrote a book, which we use in a class and which explains macroeconomics in a very simple visual manner.

He wrote the book, his class is exactly what's in the book. Be prepared to know the detail in his notes to get a good grade. His explanations, however, are crystal clear as he repeats himself to make sure it goes through your head. Attendance is highly recommended. May pass of as being slightly patronizing. All in all, makes a very good teacher.

An excellent instructor. He is very enthusiastic about teaching the course and helping each student and is always accessible. Having a good sense of humour and passion for microeconomics, makes his class interesting and friendly. His book is very good and easy-to-understand. Each concept is explained and supported with a real life examples.

Good teacher. Cares a lot about his students and is always available to meet should you have any questions. Tough grader though. You must be attentive to detail in his class.

Comment:
I remember an instance where instead of explaining, he was talking about the size of the conference room at RBC which later he apologizes he doesn't know his material. The whole MBA class was in dead silence. The textbook is his own textbook (not finished, and highly priced). I expected from a MBA class.

Good teacher, but not fully knowing his material. He's actually very smart, but unfortunately too busy to double check what he is teaching... Beside that, he's a tough grader.
