Honestly not a very enjoyable class. The homework is worth 30% and is fairly difficult (make sure to go to office hours for help). The midterm is very straightforward MC. The final free response is almost impossible so do not expect to leave feeling like you aced the test. The curve is massive for this class so don't worry too much.

LOL the easiest A I've gotten from the major. Just try and do well and the midterm (MC) and you should be alright. The free response on the final was iINCREDIBLY difficult but the curve in the end is very forgiving. I got a 25% on the first FRQ and an 85% on the second FRQ and still managed to do well in the class.

Birchenall is a pretty good professor. He gives HW that is fairly easy to get full points on. The midterm is all MC and the final is a mixture of MC and math. If you read the book, and study the lecture slides, it shouldn't be too bad.

I think he is a excellent professor overall. I took his Econ 101 during the summer, and I believe you should always go to his lectures. Without his explanations, it would be really hard for students to remember the materials. Homeworks are fairly easy with his instructions. Exams are not that hard, but maybe a little bit challenge on math part.

Javier is an INCREDIBLE professor. He has incredible confidence when he teaches, and excellent command of the material. He is straightforward with what he expects of students in the class and sticks to it. He teaches topics that are useful to real life, not just that class. I took two classes with Birchenall and I can say he is an exceptional prof

When I asked him what would be covered on the midterm and final his response was everything. Very vague and lectures aren''t useful. His lectures are more of a history lesson on economics in the US. Always goes off topic. You have to learn a lot of it on your own but the material isn''t hard.

the final was ridiculous. but he gives huge curve for this class

exams are pretty easy and straight MC from the book. prof is very OK. lectures are boring most of the time but this class is straightforward. he is a nice guy and you could definitely do worse with another prof.

I NEVER went to this class didn't have to. Problem set due evry week which was very hard but worth 30% and could do in groups. 1st midterm was cake, MC straight from the summaries and slides. The final has the same MC format, but half the test was HARD math like the hw. Nothing you do can prepare you for that part, but the curve is very forgiving.

Each week we have a 6 hour problem set due. I asked if he would post the solutions to problem sets 2&3 (because he posted solutions for the 1st) and he replied and said they won't help prepare for the midterm since it is multiple choice from the textbook. So whats the point of the problem sets? Might as well skip class and just read the book.

multiple choice midterm is based entirely on the assigned reading from the textbook, it is very fair. Cumulative final is very difficult...a combination of multiple choice (like the midterm) and a VERY hard second half based on questions like those given on the 6 homework "problem sets"..very mathematical. Curve is very generous tho so don't worry!

The Lectures are boring, redundant and not that useful. Everything is right out of the book!!! Midterm is all MC and is very fair, final is MC and open ended and still a fair assessment. You have 6 HW's that are tougher and can really help your grade. Overall, nice guy. Best/Easiest required class for the UD Econ requirements.

Javier is a an exceptional professor. His lectures are clear, concise and he doesn't use too much calculus in them compared to many other professors. Also print out the slides The Midterm was MC and it was easy, the average was like 80%. Go to sections, because TA's help with homework. Also, the stuff he teaches is kind of applicable to real life.

This was a tuff class, don't think you could really be perpared for the final. It is in your best to go to all the classes so you have an overall view of the subject on exams.The midterm was not that hard but final problems were random, need to do the homework & understand it, but most of all ask him (the professor not TA's) questions during final

Nice guy. Lectures aren't mandatory. Midterm MC just make sure you read all the chapters in the book. Final ridiculously hard but he curves it so you get a much better grade than you expect.

Javier is a nice guy but his lectures are boring and his problem sets don't teach you anything. The midterm was fair, just multiple choice from the book, but the final was ridiculous. Multiple choice only made up 40% and the remaining 60% was problems similar to the problem sets. The problem sets don't even make sense if you have the book!! Hard!

Professor Kang is an excellent lecturer as he keeps the class very engaged. This class is all about what you make of it. You can be a hermit crab in the corner, go through the motions, and learn very little, or raise your hand and engage and gain a wealth of knowledge. By the way, your grade will 100% reflect how much you engaged.

Attendance and participation really matters in the class. Prof is super passionate and cares about his classes. Buying class material required, there's a reading quiz around once a week, written final, and an easy group project.

Super passionate guy. Participation matters a lot to him but it's really not too challenging. Easy weekly quizzes and a big group project due at the end. Really well-structured as a intro to business class, trust me take this course with Sukhun. if you show up and pay attention in class I promise you'll do well.

Awesome guy, I super enjoyed his class. Participation and attendance are 100% mandatory (which I expected to be tough for me as I usually skip lecture) but there's TONS of opportunities for small group discussion, sharing your opinion, participating which I freaking love, so it ended up being a class I looked forward to. Lots of cool guest speakers

The lecture is irrelevant to the exam and he does not teach any math. Grading is 70% quiz and 30% final. If you practice with the past exams and problem sets you will do good on final. Quiz are online and easy.

Pretty decent prof for his first time teaching. His lectures were interesting and brought in guest lectures to expand our knowledge. I hated his quizzes and how the TA was grading them. There was a final project at the end which expands creativity and teamwork. If you want to learn take Professor Kang, if you want an easy A take Professor Feldman.

It was his first time teaching but you could tell he cared about his students and the way in which he taught. We had small quizzes, so no traditional 'midterm' but they were heavily focused on lecture material. Attendance and participation made up a big part of the grade so be sure to go to class and participate. Our final was a group project.

Great professor that focused on students learning rather than exams. Heavily emphasizes participation, but was not an issue. However one downside is biweekly quizzes that had vague answers. Final was a group project was helpful applying everything we learned. There is also weekly readings, but it helps with the content.
