Prof Machlis is a real gem! The way he teaches is awesome. The information sticks with you and is applicable to the real world. Participation is optional but can bump up your grade a LOT! He is kind and caring. Be careful, there arent many exams. Take good notes and review the material as you go. Exams are somewhat challenging. READ THE TEXTBOOK!

Taking Prf. Machlis had to be the best decisions I made. From the very first lecture we had, I could tell this was going to be the class I would look forward to. Prf. Machlis is the type of teacher to explain thoroughly what you need to know and apply it yourself come time for the exam. Would highly recommend his class to any one of my peers.

Professor Machlis is a great man. He gives you written assignments to help enhance your grade. Be sure to read the textbook. He makes class very interesting with his lectures. You are only graded on a midterm and a final. The tests are curved though.

Lectures are helpful but make sure you read the textbook on your own. Good professor, overall a nice guy who cares about your success. Gives lots of real world examples, and not too much work. A solid choice for economics, only focuses on the important stuff. Two tests in entire semester, but other assignments to help your grade.

Took him for Price System and Money and Banking. He's a great teacher for both Eco and non-eco majors. He gets the topic across is the easiest forms he can. He teaches through question and answer with little lecture. His test are half multiple choice and short answer.

Professor Machlis is a nice guy, if you are looking for an easy going teacher looking to help students he is your guy. Lectures are hilarious and he absolutely loves students participating in his games. Tests require you to work for it for sure, gives you most of the test as review, the rest he expects you to understand thro lecture.

I honestly don't understand the high grades. Yes he's very nice BUT you're only graded on two tests. Not attendance, homework or participation. So if you do bad one one test, that's basically your grade for the semester.

I love this professor. His teaching style is amazing and he is so kind. I wish all professors were like him. Easy A, if you do all necessary work even if it is "voluntary". He is not out to make you fail, and definitely wants to give all A's if possible.

Graded only by a midterm and final but Professor MacHlis is such a great professor. Makes the class very understandable and fair. Midterm/Final are only based off of what is gone over during class lectures. Take good notes, study them and do the voluntary enhancement assignments as he will add 3 points to your average for doing all of them.

He is one of the best professor I have ever met! In his class, I have never ever feeling sleepy or tired. The way he teaches students is so different from other professors. So inspirational, so passionate and because of that, I can understand the lectures really well. Understand it! Not just remember and don't get it at all

Goes off on a lot of tangents while talking about important material and dose not circle back to it. If you pay attention when he talks you should be fine, only Midterm and Final.

AMAZING PROFESSOR. Genuinely cares about his students. Will give out "Voluntary Assignments," which you will receive 3 extra points at the end of the semester. Very involved when he teaches and extremely enthusiastic about the subject. If you can, TAKE HIS CLASS

A professor who teaches from the heart and mind, and not just from the syllabus and books. A SuperProf who has the power to turn boring lectures into animated discussions and make the words out of class texts come alive.

Greatest way of teaching. He makes everything easy to understand. You just need to take notes what he said in the lectures and search online for what you confuse, don't need to read the textbook. Always care about his students and he is willing to review materials with you by all means, phone call, email, or even drop by his house.

Midterm and final are very difficult if you do not remember definitions and understand textbooks, notes and readings. He grades based on two exams. If you failed midterm, make sure you get a good score on the final.
