Great professor, makes lecture material very understandable. Would recommend for first quarter of freshman year.

ECON1 . Benzarti Y C 4 Months Ago

I had a particularly terrible experience with this professor. I had to miss a test due to playing in the D1 NCAA soccer tournament and he simply gave me a 0. He used the excuse that the lowest test grade was dropped and therefore it did not matter. It took weeks for him to respond to my emails and he simply does not care about his students.

Laid back personality, grading set up is student friendly as he drops 1 of 4 quizzes that make up 60% of your grade. The other 40% is essentially free points as long as you complete them.

Once i showed up to one of the exams 6 minutes late and Prof Benzarti wouldn't let me in lol I was about to get on my knees and start begging him before i remembered theres an exam drop and left with my dignity intact. This class was hella easy though but I'll be honest the lectures were so boring I was about to fall asleep every time

Benzarti was very nice and clear about grading and the course structure. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he says so many things during lecture that help you understand his material that is not mentioned anywhere on the presentation slides. He has a slight accent and talks quietly sometimes, making it hard to hear him, but overall it is not bad.
