Lectures are difficult to follow and Paper grading is confusing. Make sure you discuss immediately after class if you have any issue, for he might not email back if after a follow-up. This is a philosophy course instead of an economics-related. Kinda disappointed after taking this course after seeing other comments.

He is mostly interested in historical style essays more than analytical. Attendance was 50% of your grade

Ebensteins classes all follow a very specific and predictable pattern and getting an A in one is as easy as memorizing the following: do the readings and go to class. Doing those 2 things will give you ALL the information you need to do every write up (3 in the whole course) and give you so many paper topic ideas (2 in the course.). Great professor

dude just rambles for the entire class. 500 word papers once a week, and weakly pop quizzes to check for attendance. if you have to take his class don't worry, but if you can avoid him then you SHOULD.

He's a chill prof, accessible after the lecture if you want to discuss with him. Weekly 2 page paper and two-term papers so the workload is not terrible. Lot's of interesting ideas and his chicagonomics book is very accessible to those that do not read many econ books. Can sometimes be disorganized, but who isn't during the 'rona?

foo is mad boring
