Comment:

Dr. Creahan is so nice. All you have to do is come to class and put in some extra effort to study before tests, etc. I think he is a professor that sees when a student really tries in his class and is willing to help them if they are willing to put forth effort too.

This was so boring. I always dreaded it, and I would almost fall asleep. He lectures the whole time, but it's sooo boring. I learned most things from the textbook.

Boring, acts like his class is the only one you have. Gives very vague lectures but asks very specific questions and laughs when you're wrong.

Comment:

Tom Creahan is the worst professor at MSU. He is soft talker and you literally cannot hear his lectures. I read the chapters before the test and still scored awful. You must take a quiz repeatedly to get a decent/ at least 50% on the test. He gave me the worst grade of my life. Do not take him

Comment:

When he assigns homework, expect a pop quiz over the material that chapter covers at the beginning of the class. He reads straight off the powerpoints and gets confused when he doesn't. I only got an A because I took the practice test for each exam at least 20 times. He does curve each exam. ATTEND CLASS!!! It goes toward your grade.

This was one of the first courses that I took at Morehead State. He was easy to get a hold of through email and normally replied within 24 hours. Instead of using a normal blackboard course he insisted we mail our assignments to him. When it came to grades, they were not posted on a regular basis, so no way to keep up with your grades.

Comment:

He uses book questions for the exams so they are really specific and pretty difficult. He's boring and just lectures the whole time. There are a few small assignments during the semester and then a paper at the end. Must get the book if you want to pass the exams because his lectures don't cover all the info.

Very difficult class for what it is. The book gives very few examples, and quizzes do not always match the book. Online classes seem like they are not a priority with this professor. Assignments released at the last minute, and very little feedback if any.

Comment:

Definitely a difficult teacher. Spent my classes outlining chapter because his lectures were so confusing. He talks in circles and teaches as if he is teaching professionals not undergrad. He expects you to always know the answer and material thoroughly, you better make sure you always come to class prepared as he randomly calls on for questions.

Comment:

I had Dr. Creahan for an FYS and I actually learned a lot, especially as a business major. Be warned that the first half of the class is basically an Economics class, and he does not scale it down. If you talk in class and show effort you will pass his class no problem. Responds to emails pretty quickly. Can be a jerk to his students often.

Not only is he the most boring man alive, he is also rude. If you don't give him the vague answer he has in his head he chastises you in front of the class. Don't speak up, Don't worry no one else knows what he's lecturing about either and Let's all pray he retires soon.

He really is one of the most boring professors I have ever had. I NEVER paid attention in class. If attendance wasn't mandatory, I wouldn't have gone. He seems like a really nice guy though and really willing to help in any way. He just spoke so softly and couldn't keep my attention. Tests were pretty hard but then again, I didn't read the book.

He's not much of a teacher, I just read the whole Macroeconomics textbook and did pretty well in the class. So I'd suggest taking it online if you're not bad at reading. Also, he really is opinionated. He pretty much worships Keynesian economics (then again so does mcgraw hill)

Comment:

Has trouble conveying his knowledge to students. He sometimes speaks very softy, almost like he is mumbling. He spends a huge amount of time on economic models, while the tests are mostly knowing terms. The tests were difficult, with the curve going from 8 to up to 20 percent, and still people were failing. Global warming was taught for no reason.

Absolutely horrible class. He is very opinionated, and stuffs his beliefs down your throat. Extremely political, even though the class was NOT supposed to involve politics at all. Obsessed with global warming. DREADFUL.

I thought econ101 would be an easy GPA booster. I was very wrong in this case. I really would advise going with a different professor if at all possible. Lectures have nothing to due with quizzes or tests. :(

Comment:

He is not a bad professor at all. He tries to teach economics in the best way possible and try's to make it somewhat interesting. One word of caution in that his lecture do not help for the exam. Make sure you read the text and if he gives practice quizzes make sure you do them until u memorize it all.

Dr. Creahan is a different kind of teacher. he is fairly unclear in his lectures and very boring, as long as you actually attend he is ok with it. the class over all was kinda lame, but it is econ. it doesnt matter who you take, econ is boring, so i would advise dr. creahan over the others.

Terrible teacher! You would be better off taking an online course! He does not explain material well at all and goes off into random stories and useless information. The tests are not much like the practice tests and the final is comprehensive. Basically the whole class was a blur. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!
