This review is for Econ 106I. Overall, the class wasn't bad... until the final. His final is ridiculous and he does a poor job of explaining what to study for. Stay far away! Brutal curve and a GPA killer.

This class is pretty solid actually. Looks confusing at the start, but boils down to basic derivatives and setting stuff equal. Every question is solvable in the same few steps. TA notes are honestly sufficient to learn everything in the class, all material could be learned in like 1-2 weeks. Cramming is absolutely viable since none of this stuff requires conceptual understanding, the entire class boils down to like 3 formulas.

However, this guy's final was nothing like the practice exams, and had to be curved upwards extra to compensate.

Grading scheme: 50% final, 11% participation, 18% case write-ups, 21% homework or something like that. No midterm.

What was actually very interesting was the case discussions on Fridays. He brings in guest speakers to go over a Harvard Business School case, and the reading is actually pretty interesting.

Moritz is not a bad professor, but honestly pretty boring. I found myself literally sleeping a few times in his class before I decided to stop going. What I found hilarious about him is that he brings up that he used to work as a consultant at McKinsey. This was for 2 years, 20 years ago in Germany lmao.
