Steigerwald is the most attentive and sharp professor Ive had. I took Econ 140B with him. By the 2nd class he had all our names down, and if any of us looked confused, he called on us and would explain things in multiple ways until we understood. He really just wanted us to learn, and didnt have a set number of topics we needed to get through.

i got a B in econ 5, never took AP stats, and i consider myself to be bad at math. LOCK IN FOR THE 1ST TEST! i studied for it like it was a final and got 26 points above the mean. it only gets harder from there so take advantage of this. do the extra credit! iclicker in lecture, but lecture is way too fast, do notes beforehand

You can tell that Doug cares about his student's learning and the real-world applications of the class. The exams are very difficult, but you're really just battling against the curve of the class. Past exams are somewhat helpful but were not that similar. Understand the intuition behind the problems, you can't just memorize how to solve them.

Lectures are a bunch of iClicker questions that aren't very relevant to the exams. Doesn't give many resources to study for the exams. Practice problem sets are largely irrelevant to the exams. Slides are unorganized and difficult to understand. Professor needs to give out more previous exams students can use to study.

Difficult exam, diferent from the past exam

The Class was hard but his grading curve was fair. He was strict but in the way of a strict dad. I believe he wanted every student to succeed. Great guy as well.
