The problem sets each week were manageable, and the lectures were ok although extremely fast paced. The tests, on the other hand, I found to be extremely difficult. Midterm 1 was fair, and the average was a C, midterm 2 was unbelievably difficult, and the average was around a 35%. The final I also thought was very challenging. Multiple choice questions are hard, and he gives out zero practice for them. The free response was ok, but its very tough to remember all of the information for each type of problem as most of it you need to teach yourself since his lectures are so fast-paced.

I got a pretty good grade in this class, but I would've struggled if I didn't have a good sense of econ to begin with. This professors lectures are boring and hard to focus on. He writes pretty small on the board so its often hard to see. You can get his slides online, but you should go to lecture to take notes on the problems he does on the board. Don't buy the textbook. His tests are pretty closely related to the problem set he gives out, but there is often a little twist on one or two of the problems on the exams, and his multiple choice require a pretty full coverage knowledge of the material. (Tests are about 50/50 multiple choice and written problems). All in all, not bad at all if you are good at econ, but beware that the grade distribution for midterm 2 was a 56% and up was an A.
