Comment:
He is a nice person and genuinely wanted to know his students and he would create flashcards of us so he could learn all our names. However, he doesn't really teach the material. Especially when we went online, it was just a lot of read the book and do the online homework and he was just chillin' there.

Comment:
Very knowledgeable and he certainly knows his stuff, but he isn't the best at conveying. He does tend to teach the same thing 2 or 3 times though, so I guess that helps. To me, he seemed like a really sweet guy who was/is ready to retire, and it shows a little bit. Overall, I'd take him again, though I'm guessing that option will soon be gone.

Such a nice man, but isn't very clear. He curves like crazy so I ended up getting an A-, but I don't feel like I can articulate what I learned. It was stressful studying for tests because I was generally confused.

Awesome funny and helpful prof. The tests are really easy and he grades by the average (huge curves). Just ECON weekly assignments. My only criticism is that he was extremely unorganized. However, hes such a nice grader that I liked him a lot. Tests also have some questions only from the book that he never covers.

Great prof. Explains things well. Hardly any homework and tests are easy if you pay attention in class. Also has a great sense of humor. If you can, take him or Samuel for ECON classes.

Great prof - I definitely enjoyed his class. He made things interesting and explained the material well. Do the homework (it's always easy); study for the tests; skim through the chapter for quizzes...you'll be fine.
