class isnt really useful, make sure you do old exams and you'll be fine

Wrote a ridiculously hard final. Got 80% and 100% on the midterms so I was okay, but seemed like the FRQ questions on our final were harder than almost any of the previous tests available for practice. Make sure to do well on midterm 1, everything after that is much harder.

The final sucked the soul out of my body after getting 8/10 and 10/10 on the midterms. Hope the professor or the department is going to do something about it. Nothing like the practice ones; no cost minimization, no utility maximizing, and no profit maximizing-- just pure random word vomit from the depths of some forbidden problem bank.

Finished with an A+... That being said, I definitely had to work for it.

The goat. He made 10A very easy and accessible, I can't believe some of these other ratings honestly. Of course, you have to put the work in yourself, but it's 10A, what did you expect?

This quarter has been so much better than I expected. Prof. Millner is an awesome guy and he really tries to make the information interesting. The material is hard but as long as you go to CLAS and do the practice tests, you will be fine. Most of the material you have to learn independently, but CLAS was a huge help for me.

Millner is absolutely awesome!!!! I believe his exams are completely reasonable, and his lectures are jam packed with information that's described in a rather eloquent manner. Im shocked he has such a low rating on rate my professor, those complaining should definitely not be Econ majors! Put in the work, and Millner will match you! 10/10

Horrible.

For anyone reading these, Prof Millner isn't that bad as a prof. He explains content well and he's very accessible/kind to students. However, he teaches Econ 10a and his version of 10a is going to be VERY difficult. You can do it, you just need to take it seriously. Use CLAS, do every single old exam, and understand that it's a numbers game.

Took this guy last winter and the average for the first midterm was 40%. Made first midterm ridiculously hard for no reason. Didn't pass the class and got an A in spring when I retook with another prof.

Without a doubt the worst econ professor I've had thus far. The econ professor I had in community college is literally leaps and bounds over millner. He uses slides from previous years and tries to be funny by cracking jokes about his microphone and hot dogs. It's like "dude, just do your job." Class avg. for our 1st midterm was a 40%

Millner is a joke, and so is the entire econ department. They're literally sitting back collecting a paycheck while they have their TA's do all the work. TA's are grad students, so their "office hours" are minimal, to say the least. Overall, UCSB and the entire UC system is pathetic and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Mainly have to self-study. In person lectures are basically repeats of prerecorded lectures. Often cuts lectures short (Normally 50 min, sometimes ends at 30 min)

He uses Hartman's lecture videos and shows up for 10 mins to restate what he says and does not answer any questions regarding the material. His quizzes and tests are very hard even for the smartest kids. It is not about studying it is about not picking what you think is the correct answer.

Makes Hartman seem good.
