Do not recommend. He confuses you more when you ask him a question. The tests are hard. He maked this class a bigger deal than it really is. Take him if you absolutely must.

Comment:
This class was not difficult whatsoever as long as you read the notes, which could not be spelled out any easier for you. 3 exams - all mult. choice. Attendance not mandatory, but he takes it for stat purposes. Posts all lecture notes online, so all you have to do is sit and listen. I missed a bunch of classes, read the handouts, and got a B. Take!

I would not recommend this teacher, he is very hard. i think that he is too smart for an introductory class. he makes everything an equation when it does not need to be. if you are an economics major i would take him but otherwise i would not!!

Take this prof. if you are someone who can look at your notes and teach yourself the material. If not DONT take him. He is not a interactive teacher. I pretty much taught myself the material by reading the book and going to tutoring. Tests are hard and he had to curve every single one b/c so many pple failed. Wouldnt recommend him.

Great Professor! Sure, he may come off a little dull/dry, but just pay attention - He really does want you to learn. I left the class learning a lot of material. Do the work and you will be fine. He is more than willing to reinforce material you do not understand!

I took him for history of economic thought. He's really not that tough, at least for that class. He gave three exams, and the final is cumulative. Everthing (seriously EVERYTHING) came out of the class handouts that he lectured from. Study those notes and you'll be fine, unless you're not a good test taker. If that's the case, you should avoid.

All I will say is don't take his class if he only meets one day a week unless you can stay awake because it will bore you and put you to sleep.

Absolutely horrible teacher, had my worst experiences with this teacher at TU. Always is late missed test days and always has the same excuses, tests arent bad as he posts all of his prior tests. But when you have to teach yourself everything you wonder why you pay this man.

the bet professor at towson. He is brilliant. makes econ interesting. he will catch you if you are cheating, because he is awesome like that. your an idiot if you fail his class, or get any letter grade below an A. He provides you with not only adequate material, but a web site that has previous exam questions. THE BEST= DR. JOE

Sure his tests are a little difficult, but so is college. What do you expect? Professor Pomykala was my favorite professor at Towson. He knows what he is talking about, so listen to what he says. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I highly recommend going to every class. You will definitely leave with a greater understanding of Economics.

Comment:
He is very chill and smokes a lot of cigs before class, so he is always late. He uses bad language and says inappropraite things in class. Tests are very hard and everyone gets a different test so don't cheat. His lectures are so confusing and boring. He knows so much that he thinks everyone is on his level. His lectures are hard to follow.

what a chill professor. he doesnt care if you come to his class or not...he has a website that has all the prior exams from like 10 years back and most of the questions from his tests are simular from the prior tests...as long as you dont mind a professor that curses you will be fine

GREAT GUY. Don't listen to all the bad reviews about him. You have to be a complete idiot to fail his class becuase he posts all his prior exams online and makes new exams from them. He is always willing to help students. Only thing bad is you have to teach yourslef mostly and his lectures are dry.

Hard tests he rapidly goes through the material. His focus is on understanding through repetition not memorizing for an exam. His intelligence is almost overwhelming. You want you to do good, so practice his online exams. He has every exam he has ever giving and there all at your disposal questions with detailed answers. Hes a Good Guy

extremely smart guy. test are really difficult. you have to study! studying practice test online is the best way to do well on the tests. if you get an A average on all 3 tests you dont have to take the final. very reasonable guy. told everyone who did well on the final he would make it worth more to raise their grade. attendance not mandatory.

worst teacher I have EVER had in the history of my educational career. he is rude & tried to fail me before I could drop out of his class because my mom had brain surgery and was dying in the hospital. he is a little, egotistical man that I hate with everything I have in me.

Comment:
I had Dr. Pomykala for ECON 204, Honors Macroeconomic Principles. I found his lectures to be average, but at times he would tell stories that were absolutely hilarious. It was worth going to his classes just to hear the stories. I was successful in his class because I studied hard and did the homework. Just attend class and do the work.
