Comment:
It was a pretty good experience for being an econ class, especially if you participated in the class meetings which sets you up to do well in the class. He is a great professor, highly recommend. Always bring a joke to the class. If you read the chapters should excel. Your grade really just equals the amount of effort you put into it.

Comment:
In an online setting he never talked to us unless it was through an announcement just telling us what we have to do each week. Each week there are about 5 or more assignments but they aren't too time consuming. Honestly the class and the professor are just average. Nothing really too special. Just make sure you don't fall behind on any work.

He was a pretty good teacher, he always made class fun to go to but its lecture heavy! The book is not mandatory but it does help you to read over the sections on your own time. He gives out lots of extra credit for telling jokes everyday. He doesnt make a study guide but puts quizzes online that are basically identical to test.

Great teacher, the material itself can be difficult, but he puts in a lot of effort to help you get understand it. Questions are always accepted. As long as you show up, read the book, and make use of the practise questions online you should pass the tests without too much trouble. For extra credit you just need to bring a joke to class.

Great Teacher. His classes are fun and participation is encouraged. Extra credit for jokes told in class. The material can be challenging so ask lots of questions, he was always willing to explain things over and over in different ways.

Steven tait, was and okay professor. You have to really get used to his learning style because he will go over the martial quickly and not in a way he is teaching more as if he is telling you. There is alot of graphs also he hates the power point method of teaching. no homework and pop quizzes. sometimes open note. extra credit for telling jokes.

Great real life examples for whatever chapter we were on, made it easy to pay attention during lectures. Everyone died at the end unfortunately.

Tests come from the book, not from his notes, so plan on reading the text if you want to get A's. Not a bad class, but I kind of got the impression that he played favorites among his students (not in grading, though).

Mr. Tait is a great person and instructor. He helped me raise my grade from failing to a B. He was so helpful and explained everything in real-life terms, since economics isn't exactly the easiest of subjects to learn. Thank you Mr. Tait for being so caring and having a great sense of humor. Take this instructor for Econ!!

Good teacher, a little goofy, passes out "macro bucks"at random times for attendance and good grades on tests etc. and that is what acts as extra credit, no homework outside class, 5-6 tests, all multiple choice tests that are the same as the practice tests he puts up on the internet. He makes economics easy and fun!

Despite the difficulty of the subject and the long class-time, (I had him during the summer for four hours during the night) Mr Tait managed to keep everyone's attention so that everyone actually learned economics. Difficult, but fun class. Highly recommended.

This was a hard class, but fun to participate in. The subject matter is extremely dry, but Mr. T has a "wacky" sense of humor to enlighten and make student want to learn more. Much respect Mr. T.
