SHABBADOBA and his antics to get us to get us to pay attention...haha. he really tries to pull us in to econ although he knows we have no interest in it. He tries really hard, lots of extra credit. go to class, study, you should do fine.

Professor Alves is a great guy he will do everything in his power to pass you! He stays for extra help until 8PM EVERY NIGHT!!! He is a little hard to understand but if you go to him he will explain it as many times as you need it. He gives tons of Extra Credit, DO IT, Im serious he's still tough with test and quizzes. TALKS about the WIFE so funny

He is probably my favorite teacher at JWU! funny guy and makes a boring subject interesting and easier to understand. He gives out ridiculous amounts of extra credit! He gives tons of good notes! He dosnt care what your grade is at the end of the tri, if you put all your effort into the class and tried hard and showed you care, he will pass you!

Alves is the best macroecon professor at JWU. He's so hilarious and he made the class that I didn't want to take in the first place enjoyable.

Horrible class. DOES NOT teach. You do not learn anything in this class! Professor just gives out answers to the quizzes, an advantage to lazy students who wants to waste time and money. He is unclear most of the time. Other than that, he is a nice guy, means well, but should really improve his teaching style.

Hes a really nice and funny professor. You definitely have to attend his classes. He gives quizzes out almost every class, but they are easy because he gives us the answer before.

Woooow, what a guy!! His class was so funny, I think it went fast! He always give you the answers to the quizzes the class before and then again like 5 minutes before he gives you the quiz. Impossible to fail! Don't be a smart ass though, he will make you pay for it.

He can be annoying with giving 3 quizzes in one class however he really does not want to fail anyone as long as they do the extra credit and show interest by going to see him you'll be fine

Impossible to fail his class. A quiz every class! But he is not very clear, and gets lost sometimes. Do the extra credits!!! And try your best not to zone out!

If you have ADD you'll be best friends with the professor! He is ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! He is constantly telling you that he will drop you if you don't show up or even walk into class 5 minutes late. He does give ALOT of extra credit - makes it easy to pass! Threatens ALOT that he will collect the work done in class too - never does though!!
