Comment:

Chris Green is a great professor, whose only downfalls are that he's pretty advanced in age. His voice is a bit weak, and some of his presentations are outdated. That said, I would highly recommend this course to anybody who is interested in taking a history-based approach to economics.

Comment:

Professor Green's teaching style is not for everyone, but he understands that and makes it clear from the very first day. If you don't take it seriously to begin with it's your own fault. That being said, Professor Green is incredibly knowledgable and very passionate about the subject. Possible to get a lot out of class but it's up to you to try

Prof Green is the kind of Economics Professor I wish I had had earlier in my McGill career. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the material he teaches, though occasionally the lectures can be fairly dry. Very open to questions and willing to discuss ideas in depth.

Comment:

One of my favourite Econ professors at McGill. Sometimes borderline paternalist in his Chinese Econ lectures, but have taken multiple other lectures with him and the extent of his knowledge is invaluable. One of the only econ profs who will ground the material in real life and offer a bigger picture. Willing to help and a funny guy.

He's seriously one of the best econ profs at McGill. SUPER dedicated to his craft of teaching & the material - his ppts are detailed & he constantly updates himself on the info. He always makes time for students... He might not be the most friendly but he's really respectful & humble. His course isn't an easy A but it's priceless.

Comment:

Goes off tangent with background info on whatever topic he is lecturing during class so it can be hard to follow sometimes. The PowerPoints are very clear and detailed so despite not doing all the massive assigned readings, you can still do very well for the final if you studied the PowerPoints well. Grading was 50% Term Paper50% Final.

This guy is the nicest, most dedicated professor I've ever met at McGill. He's patient, attentive to students, and truly loves teaching. The course requires some work and the grading isn't the easiest, but it's really all been worth it. I also recommend for students who want to go to law school.

Prof. Green is really nice and very helpful if you go to see him. He's also extremely knowledgeable on the subject! Sometimes his lectures are a bit disorienting, but this class is pretty unique and definitely worth taking. If you do the readings its great.

Chris Green is an old and dogmatic professor, often very confused with his material and unable to speak a sentence without losing track of what he is saying.The class is interesting, be but careful, there is ALOT of material covered. Going to class is useless, just do the readings and read the slides. Overall interesting material but boring prof.

Whatever everyone says, this class is NOT hard. Just read the course pack carefully and you don't even have to go to class all that much. The stuff is interesting, not gonna lie, competition policy and the feud between company mergers are way more interesting than economic calculations I've done in other classes.

this man is a huge beauty and adorable- the subject matter of this class is dry but it's not his fault. he makes it more interesting and you can tell he loves it. he explains things really clearly and is clear about what to know for the exam, and you actually learn. would highly recommend taking this class

Comment:

Only took Chinese economy with Prof. Green, but I think he is a model of how an Econ prof should teach undergrads.He is also one of the few profs in the department who, thankfully, takes a more holistic approach to economics not fanatically concerned with econometrics, and I say this a alum of the (calc-based) Honours Program. Fairly open-minded

professor green is hands down one of the best in the econ department. he knows so much about the material and you can tell he really cares about it too. on top of that he is both likeable and personable. i recommend this class to anyone interested in economics because it offers insight into issues that many other mcgill econ classes dont.

Amazing professor! Easily the best prof I had at McGill. very stimulating class and he's really into it. He encourages you to participate in class and is open to any kind of alternatives to his explanations (as long as you have arguments). He's a tough grader but it's worth it

Definitely the worst professor at McGill. Insensitive, obnoxious, rude, full of himself. Incessant ramblings and digressions in class. Rude and unapproachable out of class. Avoid at all cost. I got a good grade but I hated this class and Green's personality.

Comment:

As professor for The Chinese Economy, Green was committed, passionate, and hard-working; regrettably, he was also dogmatic, tedious, and often confused by his own material. To his credit, the textbook he has selected (Naughton) is both excellent and cheap; just go read it and save yourself the headache.
