Do yourself a favor and take macro economics with anyone else. His tests are all multiple choice only, which doesn't work for macro. His slides are dull, but not as much as his voice or "teaching". He rushes through all lectures, so they're impossible to follow. His office hours don't help either. overall, terrible professor. I'd give 0 if I could.ECON1115 2017-05-01 20:28:06 +0000 UTC
Good Professor!ECON1291 2017-02-21 14:18:36 +0000 UTC
Excellent Professor! Kind of heavy on the readings, but if you know the main points of the article (Skim Reading) you should be fine for the exams. The final project was quite simple but needed to cover most of the topics we learnt in class. Dont be scared if he says that people only get C's in the class, those are the people who dont pay attentionECON1291 2017-02-21 14:17:24 +0000 UTC
