Comment:
Professor Link is just okay. His lectures are very boring, but eventually his message gets across. He is absolutely terrible with technology, and his grading system sucks because you pick the grade you want to get but could still do terribly. Feedback he gives is limited and not helpful. Not a bad guy, but a little old in terms of teaching style.

Same lectures from 15 years ago. Very rude responses when students ask him questions. Doesn't know how to work a computer (given his age).

Comment:
Subject matter and lectures are dry, and there are a lot of them. Overall, Dr. Link explains things pretty clearly and I never had to ask him any questions. He's kind of crotchety when it comes to technology, so be warned about him responding to your emails. Homework is really easy and is actually helpful for tests. Study and you'll do fine

Comment:
I took Link's class as an asynchronous class, which turned out to be fantastic. His lectures were easy to follow and the additional videos and modules he provides give all the extra information that might be necessary on the exams. He is very easy to reach and is very understanding. I would not have gotten good grades first semester without him.

Comment:
in 2020 a time where many good professors struggled to successfully get their material across, Prof. Link had no problem. I found that his lectures were fun and enjoyable to listen to. He explained the material in a way that made it easy to understand and easy to take notes on. The homework was helpful and was not just busywork

I took Charles Link for the Winter Session (5 weeks) as a breadth and he was great. His class was asynchronous so you should watch his lectures and he has a good organization for his exams. There are 4 exams the last one being cumulative. He offers a chance to bring your grade up through his system that can count your final heavier than usual.

Comment:
Do not take this class online. Extremely lecture heavy and the way he lays out his modules is confusing. Videos are also reused from like 2015. You have no contact with him at all during the semester, his TA is the one who hosts review sessions. Review sessions are also not helpful. May be better in person but online its very hard for a 101.

Comment:
He would not email me back. In regards to one of the tests that I took, I emailed him the same thing THREE TIMES AND HE NEVER EMAILED me back even though he's responded to me before. He was lazy. He used lectures from FIVE YEARS AGO. He never explained that we needed to watch the lectures, which was difficult to follow, so I basically taught myself

Dr. Link conducted an asynchronous class in which you have to teach yourself the material. His exams were tough and nothing like the homework or problem sets. I would strongly recommend against taking his course because learning economics on your own isnt an easy task

Comment:
This was an asynchronous online class, meaning I had 0 interaction with the professor throughout the year. Tests will introduce things completely new, like a graphing or chart function that was never used in the homework. You teach yourself this class, the professors only job is to send emails with tests tips, which are nice enough for me rate 2/5

I took it online and I understand why people might not like his class but I found his class easy. He only grades you on Asarta modulas (you can find the answers online) and the exams are kind of hard but he gives you practice exams, I think it would be much harder in person. His grading system is weird but he will give you the best grade he can.

Link has one of the most unique teaching techniques I have ever seen. If you pay attention in class, go all of his reviewing sessions and read the materials he required in the syllabus, you will pass his class easily. Of course, this will take you a lot of outside class times. He has a lot of extra credit work that will turn your Fail to Pass.

Comment:
He may be dry, but he tries to make the lectures interesting. He does a great job at working through various examples which makes concepts clear. While he makes you buy his course book, it is actually super helpful, and is the only thing you should need to use to study for exams.

Comment:
Link is a very nice guy who knows what he's talking about, but lectures can get boring. He makes his own textbook that goes along with the lectures which is very helpful. There are study sessions outside of class every week which are very helpful, and he offers extra credit. I would take him again if I had the chance.

honestly the hardest and worst class I have ever taken. Lectures are extremely boring and long. expect to stay in class the entire time because his lectures take up the entire class. Exams are extremely hard no matter how hard you study. I taught myself the class by watching the online videos provided by the textbook. Pick another proffesor

makes you buy a textbook he wrote but it is useful for his exams. he is well organized and everything you need to know is given to you. problem sets are a little tough but they help your grade so take them seriously. do the borderline insurance and read the textbook, it will help a lot!!

Really boring lectures but gives you exactly what you need to know on the exams, and all of his lectures are recorded. He has different grading options to make sure your overall grade is the best given your exam scores. He also puts a lot of helpful information on his canvas page

Link's lectures feel so long and don't stop talking the whole time. Makes you buy a $160 textbook that you take notes in which is a waste of money. Study sessions make 10x more sense than anything he taught.

Comment:
This professor is probably easy, but he treats his class like hes dealing with freshmen in highschool. He spent an entire 75 minute lecture going over his syllabus, and couldn't finish. Profits off of his students by selling them overpriced course materials that he designed, and shows him spending these profits on vacation via a slideshow.
