Mr. Rojas is a clear and quick-to-the-point professor. It is obvious that he cares about his students and consistently interacts with them even though they don't show much enthusiasm or willingness to participate.

I took Microeconomics for a semester my senior year of high school, so I didn't learn any new material. Still, I got a comprehensive understanding of the material and had some concepts "click" for the first time! The weekly online homework is not difficult and the two midterms and final are fair.

Warning: His class is held in a large lecture room with dim lights, comfy chairs, and AC, so it can be hard to stay awake in that class, especially after just eating breakfast!

Professor Rojas is boring, period. If you know that you will be able to withstand the uninteresting topics he introduces to us, then you're good but if not, good luck.

Never went to discussion. Never went to office hours. Never went to class, The textbook and his slides are simply all you need. Mindtap practice tests also help. This class is sooooo easy, I had never taken econ in high school and got an A+. Plus, the curve was generous when the class shouldn't have been curved. Take Rojas if you can.

Although I hated spendimg $180 to buy the textbook for the god damned mindtap code, the textbook was very useful. His homework was fair in difficulty and didn't take too long to do. Midterms weren't too bad but I could see why it would be easy to mess up if you don't do the homework/ don't understand the homework. The problems are very similar. His final was significantly harder than the midterms but they were fair in difficulty.

Professor Rojas was approachable enough and had a friendly demeanor. This class is definitely the easiest out of all the Econ/Bus Econ prereqs; It's mostly just memorization and regurgitating the info back onto the exams. The exams are pretty easy and all multiple choice, with a lot of graphs. I found the textbook way more helpful than the lecture slides, and mostly studied by outlining the book.

Rojas is honestly not a bad teacher, but I stopped going to his lectures after week 3 because I found the textbook to be far more useful than his lectures. If I could give myself advice, it would be to not fall behind on the textbook readings. The way I took this class was by following the slides that he would post online and match them to the chapter in the textbook. Rojas uses almost the exact same examples from the textbook. So if you miss lecture, don't feel bad. It isn't anything special.

For the first midterm, it was 25 multiple choice questions. I got a 24/25 and it was fairly easy. For the second midterm, it was again 25 questions and I received a 17/25 and it was somewhat more difficult. For the final, it was 70 questions and it was the most difficult. He focused mainly on the last 2 chapters for the final and it is definitely about understanding the graphs. You will know what I mean if you take the class.

I would recommend Rojas because he is one of the most straightforward econ teachers. However, do well on both midterms so that the final doesn't mess up your final grade like it did with my grade.

Honestly, I really liked Rojas, while other people can be indifferent about him. Regardless, he was very fair between homework and tests.
Lectures: All lectures are posted online, so if you miss class or blank out it's easy to make it up. Also, he follows the book very well, so reading the book reassures your understanding. He constantly is asking the class if they have questions, and really encourages it at the time.
Homework: The homework only goes over the chapters we've covered in class, and it's due once a week. 40-60 questions so it takes about 30 min to an hour, but it's only once a week and if you're really stuck you can just go on quizlet and the answers are there. Also, he gives you two tries each week and takes the highest score. For our class, he dropped the lowest score but don't depend on it until he confirms it.
Tests: Two midterms 20% each, final 45%, homework 15%. The first midterm was pretty easy, average in B+ A- range, I got a 100. 25 questions MC, and he posts the previous year to help you practice. 2nd midterm was pertty much the same, averages in the B area, but i got a 100 again. It wasn't harder but more material to go over and people don't work as hard is what he said. The final wasn't harder either and no real equations you had to memorize but more concepts. Some harder questions, 70 questions MC. I got an 89, but the average was 74 or something.
Overall: You can't miss too many questions to get an A in the class, but it's definitely possible. The tests are VERY fair, no curveball or trick questions, and homework questions would sometimes pop into the tests. Everything on tests is on lecture or books, but both pretty much matchup with each other. I recommend just skimming over his lecture slides before going in to class just to be a little bit aware of what you're about to learn, it takes 5-10 minutes the night before. Read the book if you can before doing the homework, but if not don't wait too long to read it. Do the practice questions that come in the book, and you should be more than good. Overall, Rojas wasn't super engaging, and not a great people person, but he was very fair and that's all you can really ask for.

The book for this class is $170 at the textbook store.. I'm selling a few for $40, great condition! Email me *************

Very decent professor, will take his class again!!!

He was my first econ professor, and I would love to take him again! He was very clear, always open to questions, and whenever he explained something, he was sure to not overwhelm anybody. He has weekly homework, but it's 60 questions max. Not hard at all, and I would definitely recommend!
