One of my favorite UMD professors. Very knowledgable and well organized, and helps policy students bridge the gap into basic economic concepts very well. Dry humor and not super expressive, but you can tell he cares. Lots of Excel budgeting but its pretty basic and he gives you plenty of examples to build off of. As long as you come to class prepared and ask questions when you're confused, you'll do well. |

He is a wonderful professor. He knows that 303 is a required course so many people aren't super interested, but he delivers the material well and brings in current events and scandals that keep the class engaged. While this is an economics class, there is no graphing or calc, jut simple equations using excel (which he teaches you how to do). There are weekly quizzes, but they made learning the material in the classroom that week much easier. His exams are more than fair. |

Overall this class is very interesting and not terribly challenging. He is very hard on his students I feel that it can be a little too much. He is very strict on participation points which you receive through in class assignments. I was once given a hard time because I did not ask him for help when I did not understand the assignment. He gave me a 0/10 for participation that day. Some times he can be very harsh but do not let it deter you from taking the class because it is really interesting. But always be prepared for class or else it can affect your grade. |
