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.

107A . Ebenstein A O 3 Years Ago

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?

ECON191E . Ebenstein A O 14 Years Ago

His "Economic Thought" class is really interesting. There's a decidely libertarian bent to the class, but it's centered around primary sources, so it's not pervasive. The class has two midterms, a term paper, and a final, and it's paced in a way that isn't rushed. It's best when there's a lot of discussion in the class. He's a visiting professor.
