ECON152 . Kuhn P J 23 Days Ago

One of my favorite professors I have had in the economics department. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject area. Kind and caring professor, the only thing is that I was watching up to 5 hours of lecture videos a week. Weekly quiz, best of 8/9 count. Little room for mess ups, out of only 10 points every week.

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

Professor Kuhn is AWESOME. His econ 152 class is 10000% my favorite econ class I've taken in my 4 years at UCSB. Super interesting topic, great mix of real-world case studies and examining theories/graphs. He's super interested in the topic and great at teaching it. His class is graded on 9 MC quizzes, 10% each, drop 1, and 20% of grade for free

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 2 Years Ago

I loved Kuhn! ECON 152 was by far my favorite (and easiest) econ class I've taken at UCSB. Given 20 free points and the rest of the grade is determined by weekly quizzes (if you go to section then you'll ace them). Kuhn gives you all the materials to succeed. I highly recommend taking his class!

Peter Kuhn is awesome and a great teacher. I would highly recommend taking any class he teaches. Quizzes/tests will be somewhat challenging but not too difficult. You will definitely learn a lot!

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 4 Years Ago

I wish that all UCSB economics professors were like him. He has a great structure and makes it so that lectures are very well explained and he does a great job explaining every variable in equations when a lot of other professors would just expect you to know leaving you lost. He has pre-recorded lectures and in-class allows you to pick.

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 5 Years Ago

Not sure what he's like in person but zoom university he gives a 30 minute test on Tuesday and then for the other 45 mins of lecture time he will post up to 2.5 hours of recorded lectures. Im not quite sure how that math adds up but id say he's losing it. if you like professors to be normal and give a normal amount of work then wait for in person
