Comment:
I would only suggest this class to someone who has taken an economics course before. It is very easy to get lost if you don't have some background knowledge. He's adorable though, so if you do get his class it isn't the end of the world--he gives a huge curve. He likes to see his students succeed.

Comment:
Professor Thurston is a great guy, but his class is painfully boring and confusing. I think the class should be renamed Social Media 101 because every single student is on his or her laptop not paying attention. His quizzes are hard, but only counted as a participation grade. Midterm was curved like you wouldn't believe (20 points). Very easy A.

Horrible class. He assumes you've taken this class before, really boring class. Learned everything on my own. But he gives HUUUGGEEE curves. Still, horrible professor.

Wow, you guys are all haters. He is a really nice guy. I'd like to go out and have a beer with the guy, but I won't because microeconomics is too boring. Major curves on all tests. Looking for a good grade? Take him.
