Professor Krop is an awesome professor. He\355s one of the greatest econ professors that I have ever had. He talks about economics in various perspectives, and his lectures can be very interesting at times. Both exams are 50% each. The exams are similar to the previous exams, so study all that, and your lecture notes, and you\355ll be fine. Everyone becomes intrigued when he talks about Social Security. I actually found the class to be very educational. Time well spent.

This isn't a class that's hard to do well in, but it is hard to get an A. If you go to lecture, go through the book, do the homework and practice tests, you should come out with at least an A- like me. The curve is kinda low for this class, (highest grade on midterm was a B), the questions he asks are often very open-ended, essay-type, so you really have to explain yourself clearly using economic models and stating your assumptions, etc. I thought his lectures were so-so. He's really excited about what he's teaching, but he tries to cover a lot of material on a superficial level. When I went to his office hours with questions, I didn't walk away with clear answers, although he did seem concerned with student learning.
