Great Professor. Teaches at a higher level. Expects you to already have a sense of the material covered in class. It may be a little tough but he prepares you well for future econ courses.

Everyone is hating on this guy but in spite of the awkward jokes and the hard exams, he's probably one of the most knowledgeable prof at York. He taught many econ prof at York, too. Sure it's masters level, but if you do well in this class advanced micro 4010 will be a joke for you.

His class is easy compared to Masters. But he does prepare you for Master level really well. You'll benefit taking his class if you plan on doing higher level stuff. Make sure you get A on the midterm and assignment. Final is hard! I would recommend him, but you should look at the previous tests first to see if it's right for you.

This guy is the worst prof ever. Teaches at the graduate level when it's only an introductory course. His sideburns are mad disgusting. Never take this guy.

As a instructor, he is far from "good".His teaching level is very high, which means you can keep with his class if you are genius. Although I did not understand what he said but I got an A because I knew how to get a good mark on his exams.He does not help you so prepare for the exams by yourself!

Comment:

I wonder who is writing these really positive comments about him as a professor, which don't align with reality. He is "OK" at teaching (definitely not good - not engaging, clarity of lectures is "OK"; but doesn't go horriblly off-topic). Talks about "soccer" alot; has a tendency to make awkward comments (ie. about "hotness", go go dancers)

He really doesn't teach, just puts examples up on the board and expects students to know what he's doing. That said he is very interesting to listen to, he's got a good sense of humour and he knows a lot. His assignments and midterms are really easy but the final is a nightmare, work really hard early on because the final will lower your mark.

Latham is a good prof, he is tough & the take home assig/exams are challenging but, yes latham doesn't teach, but every question he gives you he has done before in class.Got an A+ in 2350, taking 2300 to raise my mark to an A to A+ & taking his other 3530 course. Hard prof, but rewards ppl who show up to class :) easy course to increase GPA

Comment:

I am an old student of his (graduated in '01) and I do have to say that he was kind, slightly mad, willing to work with you if you showed dedication and an eagerness to learn. His style was definitely different and he was extremely difficult to follow at times. Unfortunately for most students, they are simply not bright enough to learn from him.
