Gives curves on tests if you show up and gives you a chance for extra credit, as long as you show up and do your work you will be fine.

My experience was just like everyone else. I went to every class and took notes. I got an a and I didn't even do that great on the tests. He can be rude but he knows what he is talking about. Study his notes, go to class and you will get an a. Oh and don't bother with the book

Comment:
Not a bad professor at all. Only hard thing is to realize when he actually starts taking notes. He just comes in takes attendance and starts talking about the subject. Go to class, take notes whenever he's talking and go to class. Lastly study hard, his 3 exams seem tricky but if you study it's super easy to notice what he's saying.

He's very strict about attendance, hard to follow and take notes, speaks in a very low monotone manner and tests are hard. I did ABSOLUTELY nothing in this class and still got a B+!! I went to every class so I think all he cares about is attendance and staying for the whole class. If you show up on time and try to take notes you'll be good.

He is okay, you really have to take notes and listen to him, and study everything he reviews before the test. The exams are easy if you study the notes.

Hate this class and the professor! He's rude, boring, and monotone, He teaches of memory and speaks fast, when asked to repeat or when questions are asked he gets very annoyed. He has dry humor that i fake laugh at to get participating grades. its only 3 exams which make up 90% of your grade and attendance and particp. make up 10% DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Worst professor on planet earth, makes you feel like your worthless. he is smart but does not know how to teach you what he knows. rudest person ive ever come across and the test review has nothing to do with the actual test do not take this professor and save your time.

worst professor ever. He was so rude, and didn't care about his student's grades. He doesn't believe in make up tests, and he doesn't care if you fail the course. I didn't know what kind of teacher he was going into Macro, but I hate him so much that I wish I could go back and drop this class. Kean needs real professors for the economics department

He comes off very boring. Dry humor, but does make you laugh a little bit. If you take notes and listen carefully to review you'll have no problem.

I had Dr. Skoorka in fall 2008/spring 2009 for both macro and micro and he was very helpful. Make sure you take notes because that's where the exams come from.

Comment:
NYU and Colombia professor at Kean University. He lectures for 2+ hours without looking at notes. You can tell he is way better than all the professors at Kean. In my opinion, he doesn't belong at Kean. He's too good.

The material taught is very valuable so study and ask questions. After attending his class in 2009, I was inspired to read bks. about Keynesian economics. If you give him a chance you'll learn from him. He is brilliant so get to know him.
