100B . Qin C Z 8 Months Ago

Econ100B is a very standardized course, and a lot of practice is helpful for you to study. You gonna miss him once you take other ECON classes immediately. Prof.Qin made this hard course manageable to learn. I think he is largely underrated somehow right now.

100B . Qin C Z 10 Months Ago

Tests are hard but the class is manageable. I had a hard time focusing in his lectures, but once I switched to watching his lecture videos you can see he goes through the topics and each example very step-by-step which I found helpful. Just keep on top of the topics and you'll be fine.

100B . Qin C Z 10 Months Ago

One of the worst professors I have had at UCSB. All the material must be learned on your own and lectures are useless. Does not care about his students in the slightest.

100B . Qin C Z 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

Qin seems like a good guy, but as a professor he is not hitting the mark. I mainly used CLAS rather than the lectures to actually teach me the material. The practice final (only one was given) was a little strange with the wording of their questions but the actual final this quarter was HORRENDOUS. Get ready for lots of independent learning
