Professor Taree doesn't teach well. He will try to scare you in the first class and seem strict. Attendance does not matter and the class is heavily curved. Add up the grading scale he provided, it is very easy to score a C. If you pass 3 of his tests with an A, you could not take the final and still pass with an A. Just study MyEconLab and book.

I've never wanted to sleep harder than I have when attending his statistics class. The most boring class I've ever taken and he's always going on about how people keep leaving mid-class while treating people like it's high school. I've been in many 3 hour classes, and people stay in those because they aren't boring and they feel respected.

by far the most boring, difficult, unreliable professor i ever took for econ. you cant just depend on his lectures as he reads them off the powerpoint, you gotta put 100% in the work yourself. i wouldnt suggest taking him for econ at all.

If you want to feel like you're on the verge of tears the entire semester, take Professor Taree. His lectures barely have anything to do his tests. I guarantee you will have to teach yourself on your own time. Taking his Macroecon class has literally been the worst experience of my entire college experience. SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR GPA.

worst professor I've ever had. Currently taking him for Macro. He is so boring. His lectures have absolutely nothing to do with his exams. He takes attendance so you're forced to have to sit there and listen to his useless lectures. Be prepared to do all of the work on your own. He is extremely rude and I don't get how he still has a job. AVOID HIM

I'm in the middle of my semester with this professor. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Honestly, save yourself the emotional distress. Half of my class is failing due to him not teaching in class. I've basically had to TEACH MYSELF macroecon on all semester in hopes of passing this class. There are better professors. I suggest you choose one.

I compare this class to sitting in a hospital waiting room to find out if a family member has died . Its boring , and sad at the same time . The way he talks is so mundane , and the tests dont match his lecture . His class is a waste of time . Dont know why he was hired at the college , hes a smart guy but a terrible professor . Dont take it

Get the textbook because the exam questions come straight from it. Pay attention to the charts, read when he tells you to. This will get you an A. His lectures are long and have nothing to do with the material, but he is really nice. Gives curves that gives u back 10 points and there is no homework. Checks attendance sometimes and 1 group project!

Most of the comments on here talk about how bad he is but he is REALLY easy, he does not teach ANYTHING during class time but all you have to do is read the textbook assigned and all the exams are multiple choice & based off it. I really did not like him at first because he doesn't teach and wastes a lot of time but he's really not bad at all

Comment:
I would 100% not recommend this professor. His main focus in an economics class is to talk about current events and politics, in which he spends the least amount of time on the stuff that actually matters. Then he expects you to know the material for the tests. I truly wonder why/how they gave him a job as a professor. I learned VERY LITTLE.

If you'd like to receive an A in Dr. Taree's class, you're going to have to really want it and put in the work for it. He spends much of his time talking about current events, which don't appear on exams, but he does get around to everything you'll need to know. I personally found that studying my notes was more useful than textbook problems.

You have to work hard if you want a good grade in this class. He has a heavy accent and talks for the first 2 hours about current events which is NOT on the test and no one cares about. Test are from the textbook. 3 test and the presentation. You have to basically teach yourself. Started with 34 students ended with 12. Not really a good professor.

I took stats in the summer after failing in the spring semester. At first I had a different teacher but then got switched to this professor and I was so scared of failing again. Not sure about econ but for stats all his quizzes and tests could be found online and even then he teaches clearly in class so you don't really need to cheat.

Comment:
Tough class, you absolutely need to study. Get the book and do the end of chapter problems because test questions will be very similar. He does talk about current events for a good portion of the class, like others have said. He was a fair grader for the group project, which only required giving a little effort.
