Comment:
I didn't like Denslow's class when I first started, but he has grown on me. He is really smart, and you will learn a lot in his class. However, he talks extremely fast, and he gives you a lot of information so it makes it difficult to take notes at times. ANYTHING could show up on a test so you have to watch all the lectures.

Comment:
Good Prof! He really knows his Econ & other topics related. Due to time, I relied on reviewing quizzes, reading smoking notes, and TZ to get decent grades...but I do regret that, as Denslow really is brilliant & most can really learn from him if they attend lecture & interact with him.

Comment:
Makes the hardest tests you will ever take. Lots of opportunity for xtra cred (up to ~14% ontop of grade!) so I got an A+ anyway. Doesn't explain things very clearly, is a bit hard to follow and is too smart for his own good (things go over your head). Is a very very nice person and will do anything if you go to his office. Hard but fair.

Comment:
At first I was intimidated by the previous year comments on how difficult this class would be. I didn't watch a single lecture just read the quiz examples right before the online quizzes, went to tz and read smokin notes. Look over the online quizzes before the test 50% of questions come from themm. I ended the class with a 103%

Comment:
People exaggerate totally on Denslow. Don't watch lectures; just go to TZ & read Smokin' Notes. Take a week before each test to prepare, and take the midterm (much easier this semester than final). Do every quiz & every extra credit book. The extra credit quizzes aren't hard at all if you at least skimmed the book. Ending the semester with a 104%.

Denslow is a great guy! He is really helpful and responds to E-mails super fast. I will admit that his lectures can be confusing sometimes, but he sends out "Quiz Examples" each week that help a lot. Smokin notes are a great resource to use- their notes are AWESOME! Start studying a week ahead! The people who complain about him probably didn't try!

Comment:
He is very nice, it's hard to dislike him. I went to ONE class and got a B+. DO ALL YOUR QUIZZES AND EC ! That's what saves you. Study the quizzes hard and read your smokin' notes & go to tutoring zone. Just with that it's impossible to fail. Tests are difficult but you do learn a lot. Definitely worth taking. He gives a huge curve on tests also :)

He's too smart to each and his lectures were hard to follow. If I had kept up with the lectures it probably would have been easier, and do the quizzes and extra credit!

read the ec books, they aren't too long and can end up giving about 10% of EC on top of your grade. use examples to do quizzes, and study the quizzes and smokin notes for a good grade on the exam. watching lectures isnt necessary if you do these.

Comment:
I think Denslow is a very genuine and nice professor. He is great with communicating about announcements, although his lectures do get kind of confusing for people without economic background. He is willing to help if you ask for it. I would say watch lectures and do the quizzes and make sure you understand them, then it won't be hard to get an A.

Comment:
Denslow jumps around to whatever is on his mind, going to class and watching lectures are pointless. Take the E.C book quizzes, and go to TutoringZone and get the Smokin Notes. Denslow is a smart guy, but he doesn't always convey his topics in an understandable manner.

Take ECO2023 first. Can definitely get an A+ if you study. Watch lectures and take good notes, do quizzes and study them for the test, study his practice questions, study smokin'notes. Read the extra credit books. Denslow is a genius and a very nice guy. His class is relevant to the real world. You will learn a lot from him if you pay attention.

Comment:
While Denslow knows economics- he is horrible at relaying the info to student with a limited background. He's all over the place and there is very little actual learning. I missed the final due to a med emergency and he made me wait FIVE WEEKS to make up the final-and that was only after harassing him. I have yet to get my score or an email reply.

If you watch lectures, do the online quizzes, and get smoking notes you should do fine in this class. I got an A without doing the extra credit books.

Comment:
Denslow is a freakin genius. However he doesn't understand we're not all as smart as him. He is very helpful though. So if you're willing to work hard he'll be there to help you get the grade you want. (along with TAs) WATCH LECTURES! its not pointless. all that shows up again. Smoking notes helps alot too! Great class to take!

Comment:
First off, Denslow knows his stuff. He might be a genius when it comes to economics. With that being said, he often finds trouble in communicating the material to people with limited or low levels of economics coming into the class. He tries to give everyone a fair shot at a decent grade, but in the end the grade you get isn't what you wanted.

Comment:
Good teacher that knows the ins and outs of economics and relates it to today's issues. Occasionally will get sidetracked. To get an A and learn everything you need to keep up with lectures, do the extra credit books, go in for any review sessions he holds, and take micro first. For midterm and final, study the quiz q's. I didn't even need TZ.

Comment:
He is a fantastic teacher and a great guy. He was always willing to help if you asked. At first he was hard to follow, but once you get the hang of his teaching style it's not that bad. The class isn't as hard as everyone says IF you put in the work and keep up with lectures and quizzes. TZ and SN definitely helped.
