Quarter: N/A
Grade: N/A
Jan. 8, 2016

Took ECON 106F with Professor Convery last quarter. He is a really nice guys, always willing to help you during OH and really makes an effort to help you learn the material. The class lecture were pretty well organized, most of the material mirrored the textbook, so much so that the pp were actually from the book's publisher with some alterations made by the professor.
Overall the grades material were distributed: 20% data case, 20% midterm 1, 20% midterm 2 and 40% final. The exams were very fair and straight forward. If you went to class, read and understand the slides fully and did the practice problem, the exams were very straight forward (you actually dont really need to read the book except for the data case). The data case were long problem sets from the back of the chapter, there were 4 in total (5% each) and we ad ample time to do it.
The only problem was that there were major issues with the problem set and solution that he posted. The formatting became really weird and there were numerous mistakes in them (as well as many of the answers were very convoluted). I dont blame the professor for this because it was his first time teaching the course and these problem set were from the publisher themselves so hopefully next time he would fixed this. Also, for the one of the midterm, there were MAJOR issues with the grading. One of the TA was basically clueless and literally marked the exam all wrong. In some question where the question was answered perfectly correct, she gave me 0 point but luckily the professor fixed this so it was alright. Most people (and sure more than 50% of the class) had to ask for regrades and in most case got back a huge chunk of points (I actually felt really bad for the professor because he had to regrade all the exams himself one-by-one).
Overall, really enjoyed this class. I would say it was one of the more interesting 106 and the material was very straightforward. I would definitely recommend it to all BizEcons (and Econs).
