I took Econ 101 with Copic. He is a nice person, but not a good professor. His lectures are unorganized, confusing, and boring. I basically learned everything in my discussions. The midterm and final multiple choices are similar to the practice exams, but they are still difficult. I scored way below average on the midterm and slightly above average on the final and ended up a B+, which is good enough for me.

Hello fellow Bruins, I wanted to say that I really enjoyed this class in my final quarter at UCLA. It covers a broad range of information and you can choose what areas of study you want to be able to focus upon without being penalized. The Professor is really nice and flexible as I was seeking to design a final paper that was a bit different from the normal prompt. The Professor was also extremely understanding of personal matters which left me with the feeling that she cared about her students. It's a smaller class so she urges people to participate which I feel is great because you get to hear different perspectives. There is no group project or activities which might be uncomfortable for some people. She grades correctly and is a good UCLA professor. I really enjoyed this class as it was one of my final classes at UCLA! GO BRUINS!

Never taken Sproul or even set foot on a California campus. I discovered him in 2007 when he was debating on the mises.org blog and discovered the backing theory that way. I've read all of his papers, he is the Einstein of modern monetary economics, people just don't realize it yet.

Professor Aaron Tornell is just amazing. I took Econ 106M and Econ 123. I think these are two most useful and practical courses in my college life. Both courses have very good curve as well. Econ 106M is really good one for students who are interested in financial market. This course introduce many financial instruments and financial institutions. Also, Professor Tornell would show us many practical skills in financial market like finding data. The most surprising part of the course is that many theories professor taught are not simply from text books, and many of them is originated from profess's own experience and academic research. Last, of course, the guest speakers are amazing as well. As to Econ 123, It is a truly amazing and innovative class. It is definitely for everyone. It would be very very hard if you don't have a solid quantitative and coding background and you expect an A. However, this is also the best course I took in UCLA. The materials we leant are very useful. I used it almost everywhere. And I think it would be especially useful for those who want to enter a big buy-side companies. They would be surprised when they see your econ 123 final project. Finally, unlike some comments said, Professor Tornell is actually very friendly and supportive especially when you talk to him about academic and career problems. And I sill will go to his classes even I took them before. It is because I will meet many good friends in these classes. Many good students who want to enter financial industries will be there.
