10A . Deschenes O 6 Months Ago

10a is absolutely a difficult class regardless of which professor you have, but if i had to do it again I would definitely take deschenes class again! really fair grader, make sure you go through every single practice exam. doable if you put in the work

It is Econ 10A. This is the class that forces you to ask yourself how serious you are about your career.

ECON10A . Deschenes O 10 Months Ago

No clear grading criteria, u would think getting the right answers but with wrong process might get you partial credit on free response, but nope! totally illogical grading and I hope this guy just reflects on himself.

ECON10A . Deschenes O 11 Months Ago

Very funny professor and made his lectures engaging (through the content, not necessarily asking students questions etc). The final exam was easy, but judging overall on all past exams, he tends to give slightly harder exams than other professors. Would recommend!
