ECON140A . 5 Years Ago

This class has way too many formulas and conclusions to memorize. Though there are some formulas that need you to prove, in fact, in your midterm, the professor would just directly ask you to write down the final answer without proving it step by step, which means you have to MEMORIZE! Will drop the midterm if you do the final better.

I enjoyed the class. Memorize the important proofs and the other important slides because that will help you succeed. Fair grading criteria. Practice rewriting the proofs over and over until your hand hurts. Very nice and helpful professor. Interesting class too

Chaisemartin's class was very fair. You do well by reviewing everything he tells you to review. Don't leave the homework to the last minute. Class iClicker questions are difficult but they don't affect your grade much. Hes a nice french guy too

clement is the man. i think he has a good teaching style and he makes it very clear what you should study to prepare for exams. he also provides a lot of insurance like dropping the lowest homework, 4 lowest iclicker scores, and he also redistributes the weight between the midterm and the final to help you out as much as he can

This class is not hard at all, I felt it is even easier than PSTAT 109. BUT if you are not a stats person, you are not gonna do well as those STATs students who are taking this class for their major electives. The professor is nice and he has a very cute french assent. He is generous with grades. (30% A range, 45%B range) Boring class, SOLID Prof.

Hands down one of the best professors I had. I was told 140a was gonna be one of my toughest classes but he made the class so understandable. He makes it clear what you need to know for each test and 95% of his tests come straight from his lectures/iclicker question. Also, gives many opportunities to raise your grade. 10/10 would recommend taking!!
