Rest in Peace, Professor Babcock... taught classes despite battling cancer... A genius and endlessly kind. The world has lost a wonderful person and educator!

Work hard if you want a good grade in the class. This professor is the bomb. Awesome class. It's a lot of work, but I enjoyed it. Work hard, and you will succeed!

Textbook and workbook useless, don't waste money. Everything is based on the slides. That said his slides are your textbook. the slides are good, there only enough room for the bare essentials so some important info is missing. His problem sets don't come with answers. This and the slides make the class unnecessarily hard.

Best professor I had for economics, explains clearly but materials are hard! Work hard if you want a good grade!

He is the best teacher/professor that I've ever had. He completely changed my study style as I moved from pure memorizing to trying to understand the concepts. Going to his OH, TAs don't help much since most of them are unprepared.

Babcock is an extremely good teacher and is interesting as well. Class is VERY hard as Transfers need a B in it. Don't slouch off...go to multiple sections and Office Hours.Sara Adler and Martin Some are great TA's in the class. Go to all lectures. Re do the problem sets multiple times. Think of things that he hasn't asked you yet to study.
