Comment:

Don't get me wrong, LeClair is a great guy and knows his stuff about Economics. But he is a very lecture heavy teacher and teaches as if you already know the material. I had to teach myself a lot of the information before exams bc a lot of it is confusing unless you have a good background in Econ. Take him for an easy pass but stay on top of it.

I had the pleasure of taking Leclair for 2 classes to fulfill my Econ minor credits. The guy is brillant and genuine. He is simple with grading and in the end he made my T/ F bearable. There's no doubt I was always hungover in his class but he always had a smile on, crack some serious dad jokes and was always available and happy to help after class

Professor Leclair really knows his stuff about Macro. He explains everything you need to know in class very well and does his best to apply concepts to current examples. 5 basic excel assignments, 1 quiz, 2 tests and a final. Has a review class before every test which is pretty much a copy of what you'll see on the real thing. Take him, easy A.

Really confusing guy, but extremely nice. He wants you to do well in his class and cares but lectures are a little all over the place. 20% of your grade is volunteering at operation hope which is a really cool aspect. 4 short papers(1-2pg), 2 midterms, and a final group paper. He also cancels class a like twice a month, great Econ elective!

he is a very nice guy and wants the best for his students. however i found it difficult to really understand anything he would lecture about. he gave very little homework just 5 excel assignments. be prepared to teach yourself a lot of the material. if you study a lot you will be fine

Mark is an amazing professor. 5 Excel assignments, a quiz, a midterm, and a final. I didnt ever have to read the textbook. Easy A if you have taken micro before, or are just taking this for the core. If this is your first econ class, lecture may be a bit confusing, but he is super approachable; just ask questions in class and to go office hours.

Very easy class to take. Lectures can be very dry and boring, but overall do not need to pay too much attention, just need to pay attention to the main points

Class was pretty easy and not a lot of work. A couple of exams, some homework, and a paper. Lectures are pretty dry and boring but the material itself was interesting

Great professor, highly recommend for EC11. Class consists of a few simple excel projects, a quiz, a midterm, and a final. Goes over a practice exam beforehand with eerily similar questions to the actual exam (exact same format). Great class for the civics requirement.

The BEST economics teacher I've ever had. Gives helpful review sheets for exams, the actual exam is almost a mirror image. Gives excel problems for homework. Funny character and is willing to help and go through any question. even if someone has asked it more than once.

He's awesome. Although you don't have to go to class or buy a textbook, he uses real world examples and is always willing to help at any time. Puts out older exams to help. There are 2 midterms and one final and one quiz. Great class

It was an easy class but I won't take much away from it. He gives a sample of the tests so if you know that stuff you're pretty set. Don't buy the textbook you don't need it at all. Attendance is not necessary if you can get the notes from someone else
