CollegeReally nice guy and does a good job explaining things.
HW through STATA, wasn't taught in class. had to go to OH and sit on the floor with 20+ students. Content was fair, but imo lectures too conceptual and didn't show the application of content needed for test. 7 TAs=7 versions of tests w/different concepts... Maybe hardest econ class I've taken, but not impossible, any amt of effort helps the curve.
He is one of the BEST professors I've had. Ignore the negative reviews and take 140A with him. Study hard, go to the office hours, and REVIEW for the tests. This is a hard class that requires extra time
It's hard to fail, but difficult to get an A. The homework is completely unrelated to the class and only possible if you go to the extra labs. The tests are incredibly difficult and always have completely new problems that aren't on the practice tests. Also useless slides and lectures with constant iClicker. Worst Econ class I have taken here.
Your only course of study is practice midterms and the bare bones slides that fail to teach the latter half the of the class. This class is extremely dependent on you more than anything, which will hit you extremely hard with the midterm and final. The homework is unhelpful as it is coding barely related to what you learn. Avoid him imo.
Just don't do it. Not worth.
