All his classes follow the same structure There are 4 aspects to grading 1 Attendance 2 Quizzes are random & sometimes announced - they are 4 questions MC and T/F always based on the daily read 3 Write-Ups based on the lecture material 4 Research papers 2500-3000 words 7 sources. Go to class, take notes and read. Amazing Prof and easy A if you try.

The professor could do better in making the class interesting: His lectures are somewhat disorganized, and the lack of ppt presentation made it hard to review key material. The worst part of this course is the TA, who grade everything. My TA always procrastinated and lack the skills needed to grade the write-ups properly. Don't take the course.

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 book is very accessible to those that do not read many econ books. Can sometimes be disorganized, but who isn't during the 'rona? Great for non-mathy econ peeps

Ebenstein is the most boring lecturer I've ever had to listen to. He just rambles for an hour straight with no structure to his lectures. To make it worse, his lectures have nothing to do with the 2200 word research essayS we have to write for him. He just makes us tune in to indoctrinate us with his unfounded beliefs about random stuf. Don't take.

Avoid this class if you care about your sanity & your GPA. Too many readings and papers. Expectations to succeed on lengthy research papers were unclear, lectures were unorganized (yet mandatory), grading was tougher than other Econ electives, & the amount of reading is absolutely absurd. 50% of your grade is attendance but only counts against you.

Professor Ebenstein is very disorganized and openly admits to being right-leaning in his lectures, going on tangents about things that have nothing to do with the subject matter. He makes it difficult to discern what will get you a good grade, and he stresses attendance despite his lectures detailing nothing actually relevant to the class. ew.
