Dr. Lee was an amazing prof, especially during these online times! New lectures were released timely and the content was very clear. Despite the online delivery, his humour still managed its way into the lectures, making them enjoyable to listen to. The assignments were easy, and the exams were fair if you reviewed his notes and practice questions.

One of the easiest As you'll get in your first year. Aside from the content being easy to understand, Dr. Lee's notes are very thorough and the man is hilarious! His story breaks are very much welcome during the notes. Midterms and Final aren't made to trick you or anything like that, real gem of a professor.

For a professor with a 4+ out of 5 on Rate My Prof, I was expecting an amazing man. BE WARNED! He is Terrible online. He posts his lecture so inconsistently, hardly replies to emails, and before the final, he didn't even post the last 5 lectures, just the notes. I do not recommend him for this class

There are many GOATs: Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Lebron James, Tom Brady. Gordon Lee belongs on this list. Hands down the best ECON professor at the U of A. Simply read his notes and you will succeed.

Best prof I have ever had. He's very organized and his lectures are actually interesting. He uses real-life scenarios to better understand the topics and simplifies them so they're easy to understand. The thing I liked most about him was the number of practice midterms he gave and how similar they were to the actual test. BEST PROF!

-He didn't say ANYWHERE the time of the first midterm and I had to email him to figure that out -Gotta pay $100 to submit your assignments -His website gives you a cryptocurrency phishing warning (really playing the long game here, huh?) -Says he'll do something by a date, doesn't do it -Contradictory statements GALORE Avoid this man if you can.

I'm not interested in Econ at all and I just took it because I heard it was an easy A so I was amazed that it became my favourite class that semester. Incredible lecturer, I honestly cannot recommend him enough. Also if you're looking for an easy A you can't go wrong with Econ 101.

Had Gordon Lee for 101 and 269. His practice exams are a fair example of what will be tested on midterms and finals. A little old school because he hand writes all of his notes (unsure what he does now with COVID). Very personable, fair marker and always accessible outside of class to go over tests/assignments.

Comment:

Avoid him, seems charismatic at first, but has an extremely stubborn attitude and refuses to listen to reason. Asks questions that cannot be answered using material discussed/taught. Obscure grading confusing question structure will make you extremely frustrated. People who give him good ratings don't value a fair professor. Funny doesn't mean good

It's almost impossible to receive a reply to your email, even the quickest time will be more than 10 days! Also, the lecture is really unorganized, he will post the lecture for half a month on the last day of the term!

Extremely lovely and understanding prof. So easygoing and makes the class very simple to understand. Very approachable for questions and will try and accommodate for everyone. Very clear and straightforward with what he wants in assignments. However the lectures are a bit boring but it's not that bad.

He's a really great prof, very patient and will stop the class to make sure everyone understands the concept. but you will need to attend if you want to pass. he doesn't put notes on eclass. he says he will but is inconsistent. he also doesnt assign crazy amount of readings. he emails the relevant pages.
