Allan Drazen ECON371 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/08/2025	Last semester so idk how useful this review is but buddy says on day 1 this is not a political class and that opinions are to be respected, then proceeds to mouth office on Ice, people in hats, trump, biden, Mexico and a few other prominent social issues at least once each class. He brings them up not as topics or anything relevant, but an ill-conceived attempt to deem himself as morally superior in this "sea of idiots". The class is an easy A but be prepared to sacrifice morals and brain cells listening to your classmates present rather than the professor. Also I have never had a class where the professor assigns students to teach every single lecture as a "project grade". Props to him for figuring out how to fully maximize his laziness, coasting until retirement later next year.

Just go to class, watch people present and make sure your presentation is quality and you'll do fine. You can even miss a decent amount of classes. Class can be boring at times, but if you apply yourself at all you'll do well in it.

You’ll have no idea what your grade is until the very end. But the class is super easy. Every week, a group presents on the given topic and readings. So whenever your group presents, just do the readings for that week and put good time and effort into the presentation. Then there’s just a written final on the course themes, which is easy. The class content is interesting, but the quality of the class suffers due to the fact that your fellow students are teaching the content each week. As a result, it sounds like a more interesting class on paper than what it actually is. It’s an easy A though. And Prof Drazen will give you some funny moments for what that's worth.
