Seminar on the Teaching of Economics . ECON 297
Graduate Teaching Assistants are vitally important to the educational experience of UCSB undergraduates and graduates. As a Teaching Assistant, your role is potentially multifold: designing and teaching your own sections, assisting a professor by leading quiz sections, grading, or working directly with students in a capacity that is less formal and beneficial to students. This discussion based course covers the tools needed: planning, FERPA, testing, learning styles, evaluations, academic dishonesty, sexual harassment, presenting and evaluating of instruction.
Prerequisites: Ph.D. graduate student standing.

hes a chiller
Professor Esponda is one of the best professors in the Econ department!! He's a great lecturer and cares about students, friendly in OH. Grading is 45% final and 55% attendance/problem sets/quizzes, and you get most points just by showing up and completing work. Classes are super fun and engaging. Do need to study for the final. Highly recommend
best professor hands down
He is mean and unfair
He's lecture is actually fun. There are two way to count grade, 45% final 35% in-class activity and 20%problem sets or 100% final depends on whatever grant you higher total grade. Problem sets is graded on completion but in-class activity is kinda annoying since group work every time. The final is easy. He avoided 75% of thing that I don't know.
Closest you can get to MIT / Harvard at UCSB. Best Professor I've had in the econ dept. Low stress class with high reward. Highly highly recommend!
