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
