TAKE HIS CLASS!! i had prof thaler for global 120 & 124 and he's AMAZING!! super understanding about personal situations and easy for you to reach if you ever have a question about content or the course itself outside of class. class mainly based off 1 MCQ midterm, a paper, and a super fun, open-ended final project. interesting course material

Prof Thaler is a great guy. Very clear on what he expects, but it's not too much. His lectures are great and easy to understand. Attendance isn't mandatory at lecture, but it is at section.

Thaler gives awesome lectures. Clear, consistent, understandable, and often keeps them to just an hour long. Only a few main assignments to be graded on which we were well prepared for.

One of the best professors I've had! He is so nice and his lectures are so straightforward, easy to understand, and the way he presents them makes the topic very interesting! We had two short papers, a midterm, and a final which were all very easy as long you knew the main points from the powerpoints (which he uploads). I hope to take him again!

He scares all of his classes with the promise of pop quizzes that never happen. Heavy reading outlined on the syllabus, but it was never on tests so not necessary to do well in the class. He's super accommodating and you can tell he likes what he does. Lectures are really well organized and interesting - follows the theme of the class.

Professor Thaler is an amazing lecturer. His presentations made me want to come to class and motivated me to do well. He is extremely knowledgeable and well spoken, and he makes complex concepts very accessible. The tests and papers were perfectly coordinated to the material, and he is very personable.
