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!

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.

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

ECON 152 was by far the best/most interesting class I've taken at UCSB. Although attendance is not mandatory, I would highly recommended showing up to his class because the lectures are just that amazing!

Hardest Econ upper elective class at UCSB. Might as well change the course name to the psychology of economics. Written test based on case studies and countless chapters of slides and memorization. Get ready to remember the names and years of case studies. Excel exams are half based on practice exams and half ridiculously hard problems.

Nicest professor at UCSB. Passionate, experienced and knowledgeable in his field. Do practice tests to get easy A

Overall just a super nice guy. Probably too nice. Way too easy to never go to lecture or attend anything, as everything is online and is very straightforward. Only graded on 4 tests, two Excel tests and two written ones. Both types are very easy with just moderate prep. Honestly an easy A

Best professor I've had at ucsb. Very fun and engaging lectures. Encourages participation. Show up and you'll get an A.

This class wasn't too hard. There was a written midterm/final and an excel midterm/final. The excel ones were very easy if you studied the practice tests. The written was basically just memorizing studies from the lecture slides. Lecture was a little boring at times and you could basically skip a few and be fine. Going to section really helped.

Really hard
