Very hard to understand because of his thick accent. A lot of graphs and charts. The book should help you through the course. Pretty sure he copy and pastes questions from the Internet on to the quizzes. He's not engaging and just a very dry course avoid him if you can.ECON101 2016-12-12 18:44:00 +0000 UTC
Guy is hard.ECN101 2015-12-28 14:19:42 +0000 UTC
Average professor. Very dry. His lectures aren't particularly helpful, but they aren't confusing, either. His assessments are fairly easy, but the online MC ones can be rough. He doesn't take attendance, so your grade really depends on how you do on tests (especially the final).ECON1116 2011-12-22 17:18:09 +0000 UTC
I took him last semster and he stopped giving the answers to the midterm and final ahead of time ... but there are online quizzes and the midterm was really easy (only 7 q's) but the final was really hard but much harder than midterm) however class is easy and he gives you an extra credit option im a poli sci major and this was an easy econ classECON1115 2011-01-23 00:37:14 +0000 UTC
If the below description fits you then you should get an A. Good luck, I did it. - Dont alway's like to go to class - Strong memorization skills (hands out questions for tests beforehand) - Can study for long periods of time just right before a test GOOD GUYECON1111 2010-08-05 00:38:51 +0000 UTC
class is easy. take home quizzes. gives you the questions for the midterm ahead of time. but he is not helpful or understanding with anything. i never wen to class. i got a 79.6 because i totally bombed the final and he wouldn't even round it up to an 80 to give me a B-.MACRO101 2009-06-11 00:21:16 +0000 UTC
Macro = asy easy class. Take home quizzes with all the answers right in the textbook. Super easy midterm. Tons of easy extra credit assignments. Went to class a total of 10 times all year and still got an A-. Grades the final kind of hard, but he's a really nice guy who will answer whatever questions you have.ECNU115 2009-04-28 19:50:33 +0000 UTC
saranjam on toast is HILARIOUS. he says funny things like that the shoes he bought were "twice money" and "bagels the size of pizza." so classic. i spent most of class drawing and writing down his quotes and still got a good grade. ahmad is really straight forward and loves to ask rhetorical questions that nobody answers-but it's ok, he's adorable.ECNU114 2009-01-26 15:42:55 +0000 UTC
This man is my life. He's hot, he's hilarious, and he knows it secretly. Sexy accent; it's like having Santa Claus teach me (plus some Owl and Cat like features). His class is fun and straightforward and he makes jokes that he giggles at (because they're hilarious). He uses GM in all of his "Exam-Pail"s. Love. him. Hope he's single <333333333ECN116 2009-01-26 15:10:56 +0000 UTC
I love this man. His tests and quizes are very easy if you read the book and some of them are even online. He knows what he's talking about and thoroughly explains everything. Plus, his classes are always like 45 minutes long and he doesn't ever take attendance.ECON116 2008-11-18 22:59:06 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. Usually puts the quizzes online with unlimited time to do it. Try to go to class, if not everything is pretty straight foward out of the textbbook.ENCU116 2008-11-17 12:47:28 +0000 UTC
You wouldn't think he's as good of a lecture professor as he is- he's pretty incredible and making macro sensible and easy to understand. Loved his class, would take it again if I had to.ECNU301 2008-05-11 02:03:49 +0000 UTC
I struggled with this online class, I thought the amount of work was endless! By the end of the class i really appreciated how much I had learned. He graded very fairly and always answered questions. He really wants you to learn and to do well! Loved him!ECN4102 2008-04-13 19:39:35 +0000 UTC
Although not necessary to go to class, he does give useful notes. Still, reading the book is mandatory since the quizzes reference examples from the book. Good professor though, explains stuff well. One thing to keep in mind about him is that he doesn't like to fight so if you feel as though he did something wrong CALL HIM OUT ON IT.ECNU116 2007-04-29 16:43:56 +0000 UTC
he is really clear and writes everything on the bored...you might want to read the book unless your happy with a B-...the exams are easy if you study the review sheet....I enjoyed going to class because i understood the material and was way better than my macro teacher...plus he lets you out like 30 minutes early almost every dayECN115 2007-03-05 21:19:27 +0000 UTC
