Do the practice quizzes so you can survive from every examECN1200 2026-01-28 05:55:48 +0000 UTC
There were so many group projects that he expected us to finish in the time of class. Expectations were unclear and did not reflect the syllabus. Feedback was always critical but never felt helpful. Got off topic quite often. HATES technology, he cannot stand students using technology while he is talking.MGT1100 2024-12-19 16:36:28 +0000 UTC
One suggestion is to participate in his class, than he will be really nice to you. If you don't really participate, he might cold call youECN1200 2026-01-28 05:53:35 +0000 UTC
Multiple-choice questions are taken online, and attendance is mandatory. He provides extra credit for the portfolio, so remember to take some notes and follow his instructions for what should be included in the portfolio.ECN1200 2026-01-17 02:58:42 +0000 UTC
Professor Peter is a nice professor. Exams were very easy; it was all multiple-choice questions, exactly the same as those in the practice questions. As long as you can complete the practice questions, you'll do well on the exam.ECN1200 2026-01-17 02:55:30 +0000 UTC
Class is super boring. He just talks and writes on the board, no slides. Tests are easy if you do his practice questions since they repeat, but there are tons of them per chapter. Participation is okay if you speak up. Make sure to take notes because he grades them.ECN1200 2025-10-23 15:06:10 +0000 UTC
Professor Fell does not care about student success but only for himself. His instructions are often misunderstood making students really miserable. He is also not accessible outside of the classroom.ECN1200 2024-12-03 03:23:56 +0000 UTC
Professor Fell is widely considered a poor instructor due to their inconsistent teaching style, lack of clear expectations, and apparent disinterest in student engagement. Additionally, his grading criteria appear arbitrary, with inconsistent feedback on assignments, making it difficult for students to understand how to improve their work.ECN1200 2024-11-09 19:11:33 +0000 UTC
