CollegeSeems like a nice guy. Honestly, kind of funny at times. However, the lectures aren't that important. Reading/understanding the textbook, as well as reviewing the section slides, will be the most helpful. Do all the practice exams, and you should be fine.
Probably the worst class I have taken at UCSB. Other reviews are spot on with the lectures, completely useless for the exams. Problem sets feature questions not even yet discussed in lecture, leaving you having to guess the right answer. He seems like a nice enough guy but wow is this class frustrating.
This ECON101 class is a struggle. The lectures are unhelpful, and the exams are nothing like the practice materials. However, using resources like unstuck ai alongside the textbook can help you succeed.
The lecture is irrelevant to the exam and he does not teach any math. Grading is 70% quiz and 30% final. If you practice with the past exams and problem sets you will do good on final. Quiz are online and easy.
WORST ECON PROFESSOR AT THE SCHOOL! He does not know what you are being tested on, and everything he talk about in class is completely useless.
Econ 101 was so horrendous. Little to no practice problems for exams, and ones we got were either way to easy or not on the exams. Does not explain how to solve problems in lecture, and exams were nothing like lecture. I would avoid this class with him at all costs.
