Read the textbook thoroughly and you will do well on his exams. Also don't wait last minute to start your projects do small amounts over the coarse of the semester.

Comment:
The course on International Trade is a high level course at the Graduate Center. Dr. S. is a kind, genial gentleman, who has worked in International Trade for many years and is an icon in the field. The works involves heavy analysis and presentations of research papers which grants the freedom to learn on your own, and class powerpoints on theory.

Comment:
Totally disrespectful towards students. It was not diffucult to get the grade,however the course was quite intense, carried out in a short period of timeActually, the course was useless as the professor did not provide us with any knowledge-not only the presentation was not his, but also he just read the slides which we could do on our own at home

I so much regret taking his course. All I have learned about Public Finance I learned from the textbook. Making college students read articles aloud in class is nonsense.

I took one class from this loser this last semester as a junior and it stunk. I got an A grade but the class was sub-standard in every way. Very befuddled uninsightful instructor.

Comment:
This class was a total waste of time because the professor was so bad. He hardly understands what he is even teaching. He does not have the skill to teach at the college level, let alone a school such as Penn. He would be much better suited to teach junior high school, maybe high school. Do not take his classes, they are horrible.

Comment:
Absolutly incompetent professor and a total disgrace to Penn. Class was absolutely atrocious. exams tested on material not even alluded to in class. Terribly boring lecturer. Many students did not even bother attending lectures because they were ultimately a waste of time.

This class was, at its very best, slightly below mediocre. I would not recommend this class to majors or non-majors.

Comment:
I have somehow ended up taking three classes from him, and he is by far the worst teacher I've ever had. He makes generally interesting subjects seem duller and can't teach his subjects at all- you are better off studying independently.

Comment:
He is the worst professor ever. He insults his students, presses his political views on them, and tests his class on material not covered (or even in the textbook for that matter). He was teaching a course in development...but instead we learned about outdated international trade models and about how much he hates Barack Obama.

He was funny, but I would go ahead and call him a terrible teacher. I learned -next- to nothing from him. My TA, on the other hand, was outstanding.
