Comment:
Dr. Early is a great professor all around. He explains the content well and gives a lot of practice problems. It is important to attend class and take notes. If you need extra help, he is always willing to help during his office hours. This class has a lot of material that is covered but if you show up and do your work, you will pass!

Comment:
I haven't taken Grooms, but IMO Dr. Early is the best in the econ department. Go to office hours, he's super helpful and brings his dog sometimes, and if you use this time to understand the problem sets you will do well on the tests. He will walk you through the problemsif you don't get help its very easy to get a 70 or 80 on them.

I may have only known him for a short time, but I must say, Dr. Early is so kind, efficient, and helpful! He is the perfect teacher, in my opinion. He goes above and beyond to help his students and explains things really, really well. He's very patient and wants you to succeed. Very lovely professor. You are lucky to have him.

Comment:
Early is spectacular. I've never had a professor so clearly explain things. He holds lots of review sessions and will go over anything in his office that needs clarification. Beware of pop quizzes, do the reading and always show up to class. If he sees you trying he will make your life that much easier I promise. Def NOT a blowoff or easy A class.

Comment:
Professor Early is a great professor! He clearly explains the train of thought and logic involved in everything and it made it a lot easier to understand, he allows in class time to finish homework and ask him questions, but, TAKE NOTES, he covers a lot in lecture, if you pay attention you'll do well (also, there's "pop" quizzes for readings)

Comment:
Professor Early is one of the best professors I've had here at SU. His lectures aren't boring because he relates them to the real world and doesn't read straight from the textbook. He goes pretty fast, but it's all important. You MUST take notes, if you write what he does it'll help. For tests, review the Problem Sets and the test review.

The Dirk is the best. He is an excellent professor and makes economics very easy to understand and intuitive. He is a great adviser and great chair. I took his principles of economics, intermediate microeconomics theory, and capstone in economics. He is very funny and cares a lot about student learning.

A great teacher and advisor. Very, very enthusiastic, down to earth, and helpful. His lectures are very detailed and tests are difficult, but he does cover all the information in class. He will prepare you very well with outside readings that are about current economic related topics. Knows his stuff.

Very meticulous, but will explain exactly what you need to know in great detail. You just need to make sure you attend class, and take good notes. Reading is helpful, but secondary.
