CollegeMatthew is incredible, I took him in the winter and can personally say he's the reason why I did well in econ 2. He makes his lectures enjoyable to listen to as he really cares about the material he teaches. He tries really hard to involve students that go to his office hours in his class examples. Really chill dude too
I wish there were a Rate My TAs. His TAs are all very overbearing. I can see the professor has a well-structured syllabus, but the TAs execute it poorly. As other reviews have noted, exams make up the majority of the grade.
very interesting professor, I love his approach of teaching. The grading policy is quite tight, midterm and final count 70% of final grade. Not easy, have to put a lot effect in to get a A grade
Overall outgoing and nice professor. Wished he focused more on actual course material we would get tested on rather than ranting off about current events which aren't included in final. No curve at the end. Learned more from his textbook than actual lectures and sections. He's a nice person, but could do better in teaching tbh
overall a pretty solid and charismatic prof. a lot of extra "grade boosters" through hw and section assignments, try and do well on the midterm for a good foundation. midterm and final are all mcqs and can be tricky and wordy, so beware! the past midterm and final are the best resource on tophat to study off of and mirror difficulty. study harddd!
love him, charismatic and informative. section is mandatory on 5 out of the 10 weeks, but not anything difficult (ai-integrated activities). lecture is definitely helpful, one midterm mcq exam + final. was absolutely devastated by that midterm grade... practice exam is misleadingly easy so beware. but don't lose hope, apply yourself!!!
