Winter 2024 - I found the class interesting but had to drop it. His tests were brutal, and when I asked to reschedule one because I was sick, he said no (which is fair). However, I had to run to the bathroom multiple times during the test to throw up, and it was clear to everyone that I was incredibly sick. He didn’t seem to mind. After doing poorly on the test, my grade was beyond recovery, so I had to drop. I recommend the class only if you’re in a good mental state and are a strong test taker, or if you are passionate about economics. Overall mid.

Great class. It's everything from 11 and 101 applied, which is something that is rare in econ- doing real world problems as opposed to theory. The homework is time intensive, but this is the best way to learn the material. Tests were time pressured, but fair. The curve was generous. One of my favorite econ classes at UCLA. Riley's a good guy.

He's a good professor because he cares about his students. He listens to what you have to say. He's not arrogant like every other Econ professor and he genuinely wants you to do well in the class. I have no idea why other people say he doesn't care because he takes the time to come to school and have review sessions for his tests. Not many professors would even bother asking to have a review session. Just go to lecture. He emphasises things he wants you know. If you know the reoccuring themes in the reading you'll be fine on the tests. His questions on the tests are written so straight forward that he basically leads you to the answer he wants you write. Of course, you need to know how to back up the answer with examples from the reader. He's a fair grader and the curve is great. I don't think he listed anything lower then B for the midterm.
