Comment:
I suspect he has retired but I just thought it would be cool to rate him from when I was a student in his department from 1995-1999. He was very challenging yet very rewarding and a sobering introduction to the world of high expectations. I remember him as being very convinced of his grasp on almost every subject and rather demanding of students.

Comment:
Dr. Carpenter's classes are not by any means easy, but if you put in the time and effort, you come out with a good knowledge of the subject. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, and makes a rather dry subject somewhat interesting enough to sit through in lecture. Do the work and show up to class and an A is possible.

he says his personal political opinion as it is fact and forces you to write that way just to get a good grade and pass.

Comment:
This is a very tough class. If he says something, you better write it down, and do it. He may say something once in passing, and you better have it down on a piece of paper or you will not know what to do come time for the assignment. Do all he asks of you, if you can do more you are insane. He is arrogant, and does pick favorites.

Complete hypocritical jerk shows up late literally everyday but the one time he is on time he takes 3 points off grade for being absent, arrogant, totally disrespectful, picks favorites, has absolutely no problem breaking rules to punish a student because he doesn't like them personally, thinks and brags so highly of himself he's a P. Of S.

I loved Dr. C. I learned so much from his class. If you care about the class and study hard (like read each chapter 3 or 4 times like he recommends), you'll do well. He gets the red pepper for that red checkered shirt. Hot!

Comment:
I'm sure most people will agree that you will hate him with a passion and then learn to really like him. He may take his stuff too seriously, but at least he is passionate about it. Despite the boring content his lectures manage to be interesting. He knows what he's doing and is at the very least sincere. He's not very understanding. But he's okay.

The contents were not easy but Dr. Carpenter managed to explain almost everything. The paper is the best part of the course, it's challenging and you learn how to write a quality paper.

He's a great teacher & cares about his students. Not too easy of a class, but he has great storys and application techniques to help students learn material. Cannot afford to miss class & do not fall behind. Covers a chapter a week. Middle of the book is tough. If you can get through that, you're set. Comprehensive Final and is all multiple choice!

carp is a really knowledgeable guy about this subject. he's obessed with economics. he drives down the street for no other reason than to ''watch markets work''. he really loves to teach it and if you're interested in economics and you dont have his class at 8 in the morning, you should do fine.

Incredibly smart, excellent teacher, truly loves the subject. Enjoyable class if youre in the learning mood, drags on and kills ya if youre in a bad mood. He seems to be grading harshly this semester. Unlike Yaco, hes not as personable and talking with him outside of class seems like a challenge.

Not very helpful, or very nice. I had the flu, and emailed him to let him know that I needed a make-up day for the exam, he said that it was ok, but when I showed up for the exam the next day, he gave me a zero. NIce guy.
