Extremely helpful in understanding the various topics. Homework was the biggest portion of your grade, and you had 3 attempts at each question basically guaranteeing you get 100. If you ever can't attend class, the textbook is very helpful in catching you up.ECON1115 2026-04-08 19:34:16 +0000 UTC
He clearly has a great understanding of topics but I'm not sure he's the best person to teach an intro-level econ course. Tests were easy, not cumulative.ECON1115 2025-12-19 09:55:45 +0000 UTC
Professor Jacob was really chill. Even though the syllabus stated that attendance was mandatory, it wasn't. His lectures are easy to understand, even though he sometimes takes more time than needed on a topic. His Midterms were surprisingly manageable and easy if you studied, and the final was basically a third midterm (not cumulative). Pick Him!!!ECON1115 2025-12-12 00:47:45 +0000 UTC
