ECON171 . Esponda I 3 Months Ago

Professor Esponda is one of the best professors in the Econ department!! He's a great lecturer and cares about students, friendly in OH. Grading is 45% final and 55% attendance/problem sets/quizzes, and you get most points just by showing up and completing work. Classes are super fun and engaging. Do need to study for the final. Highly recommend

ECON171 . Esponda I 2 Years Ago

He's lecture is actually fun. There are two way to count grade, 45% final 35% in-class activity and 20%problem sets or 100% final depends on whatever grant you higher total grade. Problem sets is graded on completion but in-class activity is kinda annoying since group work every time. The final is easy. He avoided 75% of thing that I don't know.
