Comment:
Very easy course & informative. Attendance is not mandatory but watch the lectures before the exams. No assignments others than the exams so watch the lectures and do the 10 practice problems for each test. EXAMS ARE MULTIPLE CHOICE. I retyped all the notes along with the recordings at 1.5x speed and it's an easy A. Little dry but easy to follow!!

Absolutely awful professor. Lectures are so boring and have so much information in them. Exams are so much more confusing than the practice questions. The only grades for this class are 2 midterms and a final. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. trust me. avoid.

This guy sits in front of the class and lectures for an hour and 15 straight with no interaction with students, expects you to know an insane amount of material that culminates to a midterm worth 33% and a final worth 67%. Had a B+ at the midterm and finished almost failing the class. What the hell

Comment:
The book is useless, participation isn't mandatory, and he puts his slides online. The final is cumulative, and it absolutely sucks studying for. He's very knowledgeable but his lectures are boring, especially when nobody comes to class. Only 3 exams.. straight forward class, but very hard to get an A in. Take class if necessary, avoid if possible.

Class is a bit boring, which is ok with me. Don't let other comments saying that it's an extremely easy class fool you. You'll have to know your stuff pretty well. It's not just what I personally think, it's agreed among all of the classmates I know. Hard work won't be equal to A, but a HARD HARD WORK. I got an A by the way. And I learnt a lot.

The topics and information taught are interesting. Tends to jump around a lot when he lectures. Not very clear on what you need to know for the exams. Exams do not assess what you learn in class and how much you study. I would not recommend him.

Not a tremendously difficult class, but not an easy A. Entire grade based on 2 exams and a cumulative final. Exams are multiple choice with a few short answer questions. Exams are somewhat difficult to study for because they cover a lot of material and it's not exactly clear what you will be tested on. Overall an OK class.

Three exams during the semester. Attendance isn't mandatory. Not a hard class but extremely boring. Doesn't do anything but lecture for 50 minutes, absolutely no interaction with students.

Attendance not mandatory. Class boring. Textbook worthless. Everything on tests from outlines. Its 25% for each test and 50% for the final. You can drop a test to shift the weights to 33% and 66%. Tests were easy (almost identical to old tests) but final was difficult. Had A going into final, finished w B. Didnt really study though

Not a hard class but it is extremely boring. All you need to know for the tests is the outlines he hands out and you will do fine. Two tests and a final and if you need one of the exams will be dropped...VERY BORING THOUGH

Comment:
Boring class, in a nutshell there is a lot of bureaucracy and rent-seeking behavior in developing countries. Also, trade is good. You will be bombarded w/ articles and random clusters of information centered around these basic themes. Has very little to do w/ economics. Prof will send you into a comatose-like state w/ his rambling, avoid.

Ridiculous grading system, All around Awful class. More notes and handouts than an entire volume of Encyclopedia Brittanica, which you will need to know for the final exam which is worth more than two thirds of your final grade (67%).

Just avoid him! He will burn you out. He is Jekyll and Hyde. In class is he Mr. Happy go lucky. After class it is a whole another story. IS helpful as long as it is something small. You heard it here. Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid!!! Terrible!

I had lots of interest coming to this class, but this guy puts you to sleep really quickly (I mean the entire class). His grading scale is ludacrious. HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE, but I would not take another class with him, EVER HOPEFULLY!

Has been teaching the subject for a long time and really knows his stuff! Class can get a bit boring or repetitive at times, especially if you've taken higher level econ courses like 340 but good overall. Exams were easy if you look over handouts he gives. Final is worth an absurd percentage of your grade so make sure you study well.

Comment:
If you get past the accent, it's an interesting class. He is very interested in what he teaches so he sometimes seems a little over enthusiastic. Also the tests count for the whole grade but he gives outlines and handouts that say almost everything on them. The tests are not incredibly easy, but not too hard either. Good professor overall.
