Comment:
Had him long ago. He was late to every class. Midterm grade was strangely low. He said - You didn't submit your paper...I said...yes, I did... and it is lying on the floor under your desk with a bunch of others. He had to add about 40 points to my grade. And adjust for all the others he had dropped on the floor. Self-centered. Oddly arrogant.

a very poor prof to say the least; can be unduly rude in person; very impatient if you disagree with him - even on academic issues; at times a very bitter man

I've taken his class three times now. Best class in economics. Hopefully I will get him one more time before he graduates. Don't bother with the readings, they are never on the exam.

Boring? Yes. But this guy knows his stuff and his lectures are pretty useful. His Final Exam however was not in the traditional Econ format, however it was fairly straightforward for those who studied and didn't cram the information in at the last minute.

Comment:
For this class (econ) 209 the proffessor just seems like he does not care, he is always late, talks about the topics as though people actually memorized the text, plus you'll be stuck with short answer questions on the final versus all other sections who have multiple choice. Finally, this teacher talks as though he has crackers in his mouth

One of the best profs I've had at McGill. He is so smart, handsome, verry funny and witty, and everything he says in class is meaningful. For this class, I didn't even buy the book, but went to classes everyday and took good notes. Do this and you'll be fine!

I went to four classes: the first two of the semester and the two quizzes we had. I didn't find the lectures helpful. Study the book and do lots of exercised and you'll be fine.

Great prof to go to with questions/requests for advice, which is sorely needed at McGill. So even though his lectures can be all over the place remember he is pretty nice if you talk to him, but keep in mind he can be a bit blunt.

Comment:
one of these guys who was an anti-social nerd in high school who now finally has to learn how to interact with other human beings...at your expense. though the prof.'s a genius, don't go to lectures. the exams are pretty random but somehow you don't fail. study like it's your job and forget lectures.

Unhelpful Prof; isn't a good teacher and can't maintain a focused lecture. While ocassionally kind, he can be very odd in one-on-one discussions.

Really nice guy, helpful if you go to see him, but he tends to go off on tangents in class and expects a lot of you for the final exam.

While lectures were not his strongest point, Grantham gave lots of time in office hours and really helped me improve my writing style. Really nice and helpful guy, with lots to say, just be sure to excuse yourself if you need to go.

He is a very smart and interesting person. He can't teach and his lectures are read. He doesn't answer your questions rather answers his own.
