Pretty good professor. He definitely knows a lot... but is also blind to some things. If you put in some effort you can get a good grade.

Prof Rupert was an interesting lecturer. Took him in spring and only had a few 5-question homework assignments. Midterms and final were all MC and had small logic puzzles (hard to describe) based on the content so it was an unintuitive way of testing for an Econ class. Included random links in his slides he didn't test on. He also used non PC terms

I don't understand the hatred directed at this professor. I would say that he was the least problematic and difficult Economics professor I've had at UCSB. All the materials are simple and easy to understand. I ended up with a B because I didn't attend the lectures or prepare for the midterms, but that also proves that this isn't a hard class.

A student's dad recently passed and the professor provided zero accommodations for their upcoming final. Do I need to say more about the type of professor and person he is?

If you have to have to displeasure of taking a course with this “professor” I pray for you. Truly one of the worst educators I've had much to my chagrin. Pays no mind to students or their needs, and thinks he has the most important class in the world. If you want to learn from someone with an ounce of empathy, I would avoid him like the plague.

This professor is one of the least caring professors I have ever had in my life. He has no empathy for students and doesn't care at all about a students success.
