John Wallis ECON312 Expecting a D Anonymous 12/12/2012	He's very boring. Some topics are interesting but he talks about mostly history not really the econ side to things. He loves talking about the railroads. I never read the books which is probably why I barely passed. I would not recommend this class. He loves giving pop quizzes and hates when people leave after them. His exams are all essay which you think they'd be easy to BS but no...he looks for specific things and if you don't got them you do poorly on them
John Wallis ECON312 Expecting a B Anonymous 05/24/2011	Wallis is a pretty cool guy. He's an old school, tells-it-like-it-is kind of a professor, and his class was spent mostly with him lecturing. However, he had a knack for keeping you interested in lecture, and attending class never felt like a chore. He gives 6 pop quizzes throughout the semester and counts your top 4, so attending class is a must. In addition, the class had one midterm and one final, so a combination of reading the book and his notes is important to do well. Overall Wallis is a down to earth guy and if you pay attention and put in an consistent effort, there's no reason you can't get at least a B.
