Comment:
I think he is one of the best profs i came across at UofT. He took a lot of interest in teaching us and was very adaptable to all kind of questions. Yes he has a similar kind of testing method but prior preparation is must to do well. Recommended 100% not sure tho if he is still teaching.

One of the best profs. NOT because he's easy, but character. Used to work for US government, smart guy but humble about it,doesn't act like it. Funny person and it's not artificial sense of humour; he's just a funny person! He's retiring soon; I suggest you take a course with him before you regret. Highly recommend, no regrets, wish him the best.

Comment:
He's a really nice guy and puts in a lot of effort into answering questions. However, his notes are not very clear and sometimes incomplete. He's not the most organized professor, but he still makes Economics really interesting and applies it to everyday life which is kind of refreshing.

Great prof, able to make dry material interesting. He hums and haws a bit, but is a brilliant professor. Make sure to ask him any questions you have, he is great and will answer all questions he can during lecture. Carr is top notch!!

Prof Carr was by far my best professor in first year. If anyone can make economics interesting, accessible, and still manage to take questions in a class of 500 they are a fine prof in my books. Keep it going Jack, You are an AMAZING prof. To those who say he is hard, go to class more often.

the TA is mean, he marks our tests meanly...he likes to give 0 to everybody. carr is friendly and approchable but he doesn't explain clearly. You can hardly understand his lecture if you don't read the textbook although it's hard to read and useless.

Comment:
Prof Carr was very ineffective. The midterms happen to usually focus on certain chapters-no balance at all. This led to very low marks & bell-curves took place. The final exam was much easier than the 2 midterms. The grading is very heavy -2 midterms: 25% each & final exam: 50%. Definetly keep in mind the course evaluation.I would not recommend him

Although Professor Carr's notes was a little messey, specially during the last five minutes, he explained and communicated very well. His wisdom, knowledge and teaching skills showed every lecture. Also even with the large class, he went out of his way to answer the students questions weather during or after class. So far the best prof I had!

Intelligent, interesting, engaging. Generally very understandable. Be warned though: Let's just say he's a little more Stephen Harper than Jack Layton. "If you love trees use more paper" - that was my favourite.
