Great professor!!! Definitely take him. Econometrics is challenging and difficult but he tries really hard to ensure everyone understands. He's reasonable and patient with students. He's also really passionate and it makes the lectures interesting. His slides are pretty detailed and comprehensive. He actually wants students to pass and is proactive about it. He gives extra credit questions on exams and drops the lowest hw grade. Don't get me wrong, this class was so so challenging, but it would have been 10x worse if I had a different professor. I honestly learned and truly understood a lot. |

Ethan Kaplan is a great teacher. I took his ECON175 course not really expecting anything in particular, but ended up really enjoying it. Economics were never my particular focus, yet the course was really interesting, and he teaches it with enthusiasm. He always takes time to answer any questions students have, and does so thoroughly, periodically going into interesting tangents. Exam wasn't too hard and quizzes are very reasonable. Even if you aren't majoring in economics, imo the material of this course has a lot of generally useful and important information. Overall I really enjoyed the course :) |

Econometrics is very difficult and requires time to understand how the regression equations are derived. Professor Kaplan is very understanding and will help guide you with the homework and projects. I recommend Professor Kaplan because he wants you to learn and teaches you the material as an adult. As a college student, I understand it's very hard to teach yourself difficult concepts but showing up to class is important and still sticking to some sort of study schedule is vital. Econometrics will be fast and might not be that nice but its a requirement that all ECON BS majors have to take. |

Professor Kaplan's econometrics class was very eye-opening for me. Econometrics isn't easy but Professor Kaplan gives you opportunities to do well in the class. The project and homework assignments are 2 categories that I think you have the most leverage in. The exams are easier than the homework so as long as you understand what you're doing you should easily get a B in the course. |

You won't understand he's lecture because he is just reading the slides. Heavy lecture and you don't even understand a word. He doesn't like question and only gave a few few few examples. Eeven you ask a question, he won't answer it clearly. VERY AMBIGUOUS LECTURE! |

Everything is taught conceptually... Very very few examples if ever for the questions you will be asked on homework and exam problems. Answers questions you ask him by repeating exactly what he said or saying things in an equally confusing way. Speaks in terminology and a way that can't be directly applied to homework questions. |
