This professor is a very harsh grader, is not good at giving grade feedback, and expects you to learn all the material directly from the textbook. He does not post his notes or the material that he covers in class so it is very hard to study without material. Has been rude to multiple people I know of and made aggressive comments.econ102 2022-12-14 00:29:40 +0000 UTC
He sometimes asks answers to easy questions which is annoying (12 - 5 ?) and lecture can be boring but, as an engineering student in an economics class, the topics were very easy to understand. Prof. Lemon teaches by the book and answers any questions comprehensively. Exams were just like the online homework, which was assigned twice a week.ECON1116 2017-04-01 16:10:19 +0000 UTC
His lectures were dry and long. Didn't try to make the material interesting and was rude and condescending to students. Lots of Aplia homework.1116 2015-04-09 09:44:43 +0000 UTC
never talk about problem set questions and neither does him to reply your email! Worst handwriting ever, you can never recognize what he is writing all the time!!ECON3461 2013-10-14 20:34:58 +0000 UTC
Lemon is a good guy at heart, even though he is definitely a little weird. His class lectures are very theory heavy and usually interesting, but the Homework is usually Math related and you can struggle. But, going to him outside of class helps a lot. Hard Tests, Hard Class, but if you play your cards right it can be one of the best classes at NU.ECON1116 2016-11-13 12:20:11 +0000 UTC
Professor Lemon is brilliant! He was my favorite teacher last semester. Lemon is probably the most difficult micro teacher, but he does curve pretty nicely. Expect really long homework assignments (more than most classes). The midterms (two of them) and final were not terrible.ECON1116 2016-01-21 18:07:08 +0000 UTC
He is a great professor, I learned a lot from him over the semester. He uses Aplia, so the homework is very difficult and takes a long time and so do readings. The tests are very difficult and he is a tough grader. You need to make an appointment with him to get help, but he offers review nights before exams. If you do the work, its a solid B+.ECON1116 2015-12-29 12:43:26 +0000 UTC
By far the best professor I have ever had here at Northeastern. Takes the time to help you, has great examples for his lectures, and keeps a great pace for learning. It IS a tough class but if you put in the effort it will pay off.ECON1116 2014-10-01 17:40:11 +0000 UTC
His class is challenging!!!!! Lots of reading and super boring class. one mid-term and final, but both of them are difficult. you'd better be away from his class. The other micro classes are easier than his. If you want to get a good great on micro, stay away from him.ECON1116 2011-12-05 22:48:30 +0000 UTC
I would say Lemon's class is definitely challenging and if you don't keep up with it you will really fall behind. But if you keep up with it he is a really great teacher. He makes the lectures easy to understand and gives plenty of examples. He also is always willing to help out outside of class and answer questions during lectures.ECON1116 2011-07-28 17:21:19 +0000 UTC
I had Professor Lemon for microeconomics. His lectures are straightforward and engaging, he uses the textbook a lot, but also provides many real life examples. The work is very manageable, one two page paper, a mid term, and a final. If you pay attention and read you're fine.ECON1116 2011-03-08 14:48:57 +0000 UTC
