Comment:
You teach yourself from the textbook and don't interact with richard until the midterm and final. The myeconlab & textbook questions are very different than what's actually on the midterm and final. Interesting course, wish I could've taken it in person. Not a bad instructor, but not great. Pro: Online learning hub setup is clear and organized.

Comment:
Very credible economist, but has questionable traits as a teacher that should be explaining course concepts easily. Unprofessional, notorious for having stuck-up personality. Exceptions for moving dates around is close to impossible unless you give him your life story. I knew what I ran into, but didn't think it was this horrible. Watch out.

Comment:
If you take this class online be ready to teach yourself everything (like most online classes). You have to submit a news summary every Sunday and relate it to the chapter of the week. He gives you a list of what could be on the midterm / final; 70% of it is accurate and 30% is random from the chapters. Make sure you understand the graphs!

Comment:
Smart guy, but I don't know why he became a teacher. He doesn't care about his students and he doesn't understand why his knowledge is not appreciated. Least favourite professor at BCIT.

I didn't find him helpful at all during labs. Completely useless. He really pissed me off when our group handed in our final team project but that's another story. My heart goes out to anyone who is stuck with him for this course. he is terrible.

I've had Richard as just a Lab instructor and as a Lab and Lecture instructor now....he's definitely better when he's doing the lecturing. Anyone that doesn't understand him probably shouldn't be in a Post Secondary Education Business program. If he repeats something...pay attention, it WILL be tested!

if a student has problems with a particular concept, don't tell them to simply read the section over again.

Richard is very knowledgeable and likeable, absolutely wonderful if you're very on top of things. However he is not as skilled at helping to clarify for those who may be struggling with a concept, patience may be an issue.

Uninteresting and uses time inefficiently. Spends half a minute colouring his words in, or colouring in the delta symbol.

Piece of advice- be more like James McAdams. He is so tall and he is so cool! And oh yea, he actually teaches his students.

He is so lazy. If you have a question in lab he make you feel stupid and instead of hinting, and helping you, he just make you sit there, knowing that you haven't he calls on you to answer the question in lab. His lectures are horrible, don't try to keep up with the drawings, just try to get a good understanding. Horrible Teacher.

This teacher does his job! I came prepared to class and stayed late to ask questions, and I was never made to look like an idiot for asking questions. If you respect his time, he will respect yours.

Ok, I admit, he can teach BUT he's LAZY. Labs are useless, all you're doing is answering questions from the book WITHOUT his help if you need it. He chooses favorites so make sure you're on his good side.
