ECON10A . Deschenes O 10 Days Ago

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

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.

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!

Tough class, but having this professor helps. Exams were very fair, and similar to previous exams. Highly recommend taking him.

10A is difficult no mater what, but I really liked how he has sooo many practice exams to go through. If you do all of them twice and you are confident on the practice exams there is no reason you can't pass this class. You just gotta put it the time cause about half of you will fail so take that class seriously.

Econ 10 with him wasn't as hard as people make it seem. Midterms aren't bad if you study and put in the work. Lectures weren't that boring and tried to interact with the students.

I took him Fall 2022, course was tough but also everyone expects that going into it. Review old tests and study a lot and you'll be fine. Deschenes is probably the best econ professor I've had at UCSB so far and explained the topics of 10A pretty well. good luck

GO TO CLAS. 10A does not depend at all on the professor. They just read off the slides. CLAS highly reccomended.

Awesome professor! 10a is a super difficult class but he is a great lecturer and a fair grader. Definitely take his class for 10a!
