Comment:
He is the pickiest teacher I have ever had. With that said, his class was actually incredibly interesting and useful. Do the homework, attend class, and put time into your 2 projects and you should get an A or B easily. Easy tests but he will take off points left and right if your wording is not EXACTLY how he likes it.

Comment:
If you read your book, study the notes, and are good at memorizing, you should come out with at least a B in this class. He does not give multiple choice tests and tends to take off points for inconsequential things, so be thorough. Other than that, he was a good teacher; I learned a lot from him.

Comment:
Econometrics was really hard for me. His test are not multiple choice, homework is graded, and there are two projects to do. He or his lab aid nit picks all the work you turn it so it's pretty hard to get an A, but on the plus side the final is optional.

Go to class, copy everything, memorize it, do the homework and make an A. Anything less than this and your grade will show it. He won't baby you. If you don't want to go to class drop this class asap

He is a good teacher! Attend class...He gives extra credit for attending class at the end of the semster. The material is tough, so definitely studying and reading the book. He does not give you notes, the only notes he gives is on the board during class.

This is the second class I've had with him both classes are essay tests but if you go to class, study and read the book you can get an A like I did. If your lazy then forget it, you can learn a lot from him.

He is very hard, tests are lengthy and hard, MUST do all homework which is graded, absolute stickler for grading, 2 rather easy projects but they help your grade a lot, must buy book. Nice guy, knows his stuff better than you could imagine! I actually liked the class towards the end and learned a lot.

If you are not familiar with any of the material, then try to avoid this class...if you get behind, hard to catch back up. Grades hard and different on everything, I did extremely well on all quizzes, but bad on tests.

Comment:
The tests are easy, but his grading is ridiculous. You can get all of the answers right and still make a B, because your wording is not EXACTLY, word-for-word, identical to his. For example, he'll take off if you write the answer as "100 microwaves" instead of "100 GE SpaceSaver 3000 Microwave Ovens." And God forbid you only write "Q=100"...

I took 3112 before 3125, which is much harder, and it made 3125 very easy. He is an AMAZING teacher. Go to class, do the HW, and study them for the tests, and they are cake. They may be lenghty, but if you know your stuff, they are easy. Attendance counts BIG, and being able to memorize stuff will helpout huge. Take him, you won't regret it!

Comment:
Labor Econ: Pretty tough class. 3 required books but tests heavily weighted on the actual textbook. He doesn't teach a whole lot in class but assigns homework that is very pertinent to the material you'll be tested on. I would recommend for any econ major, especially those who like micro, but be prepared to study for the A.

He's a likeable guy. Knows his stuff. He does a decent job at teaching hard stuff. Tests aren't the easiest things in the world but he gives extra credit for perfect attendance.

Comment:
Classes are lecture filled and BORING. Ideas not conveyed well. No powerpoints, but writes on boards and draws charts. Gives extra credit for attendance. Tests pretty hard. I'm an A- student and first test I got a 74, next tests got 84 and 84. I'd avoid this prof is possible. He's not the worst, but surely not the best.

In my opinion, very boring and poor professor. He knows his material but doesn't do a good job conveying it to the students. He takes attendance, lectures tend to drag. Save yourself!
