Daniel Vincent ECON414 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/29/2023	Professor sometimes rush through the material, but he genuinely put an emphasis on his lectures. Indeed, he is a good professor for game theory course. Slides are thorough and enough to understand the material. The class is easy because there is not a lot of homework. 4 homework's set and he drops the lowest homework. He gave generous curve at the end.
Daniel Vincent ECON414 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/17/2023	nice guy, but lectures are the equivalent of getting your teeth pulled without novocane. i would strongly suggest sleeping before the class or else you will find it difficult to stay awake with this appetizing bedtime story singing you to sleep. exams are like the practice (avaliable on his website), so i would advise getting super comfortable with that. he will take off small fractions off your work for minor things so be diligent about checking your work. there's a guy on youtube (william spaniel) who uploads videos on game theory, i thought that helped flush out things dr vincent skims over or things i didn't fully understand. textbook is pretty useless- it gives largely examples and not explanations.

Daniel Vincent ECON414 Expecting a W Anonymous 12/16/2023	Do not take his class. Final exam is 45% on grade which contains hard part of the course. When material gets harder, he tends to rush through the material.
Daniel Vincent ECON414 Expecting an A- Anonymous 09/04/2023	Decent prof, who is very knowledgable about the subject. Nice, funny guy too. Only critique is that, when the subject material gets a bit more difficult, he sometimes does not go over the concepts as thoroughly as he should. But on the whole, he's pretty good at explaining things. There's a nice curve at the end.

He'll tell you exactly what's going to be on the tests, and gives you the previous year's tests which basically mirror the exams you'll take. He brings in a lot of examples in class, like videos, that are fun to watch, and the latter half of the course is spent basically on student presentations. Pretty easy class to get an A in, in my opinion.
Daniel Vincent HONR259L Expecting an A Anonymous 04/12/2010	Class wasn't hard, the information was fairly easy to understand if you attended class. Goes over material and is willing to talk after class or during breaks about questions you have. There are two-three main test and on e very large project, and a few homework assignments for what your grade is based on. Not too bad if you are interested in the subject matter, super easy if you've learned about game theory probability already in an econ class.
Daniel Vincent Expecting an A Anonymous 12/14/2009	Positives: Class is easy as hell. Though an honors seminar, it required no reading. Easy exams, easy homework. If you have a logical mind, you probably don't need to go to class. In total, I probably did about 10 hours of work outside class over the whole semester. Negatives: Vincent is a pretty bad teacher. He reads off his powerpoints, which are not very descriptive, and rarely involves the class. Though he had a small room of 20 kids, it was like he was teaching a lecture hall of 200. Monotonous voice as well. HW sets are riddled with errors.
Daniel Vincent ECON200 Expecting an A nsalman 05/06/2009	Let's get this straight: Vincent is an awful professor. He reads off of his powerpoints (which have all been posted online in the beginning of the semester) and at some points, he even reads his jokes off of them! TAs are usually extremely unhelpful - seriously, you are on your OWN in this class. Read from the textbook, memorize it, and complete the problem sets - that's pretty much all you can do. I recommend him if you are prepared to teach yourself the basics of micro-economics.
Daniel Vincent ECON200 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/29/2009	Class is easy, but lecture might be one of the most difficult things to stay awake in. He is mind-blowingly BORING. I went to class 4 times (for the 3 tests & final) and discussion once and never returned - hopefully your TA speaks english but thats a 50/50 chance they wont. Doesnt matter though I did well on everything. Review the slides you will be good. The weekly online homework is a necessary to ensure you will understand the concepts.
Daniel Vincent ECON200 Expecting an A almostdone 12/05/2007	I couldn't really tell you anything about the professor since I never went to class, but this class is one of the easiest you will take at maryland. The assignments are all online, and if you struggle the TA's for your discussion are very helpful. So I can say that he has a very organized class since I never had to go but knew what to expect on exams and how to do my homeworks.
