Kapicka is overall a good prof even he has a big accent, he is doing the best he can to teach well.ECON 101 is easy if you read the text. I got A in the class.Grading is split into 4 parts,clicker 10%,4 hw 20%, 1 midterm 25%, final 45%.

This class was so boring I slept through over half of it. Then I would wake up to answer an I-Clicker question and go back to sleep. Do the homework, it's not very hard and then look over the lecture notes and textbook the night before the tests. The questions are multiple choice and are pretty common sense with a few little facts and figures.

Damn this dude got a nasty accent. lol. Sometimes it's hard to keep my focus because of it. Kapicka's kind of weird, the homework's are problems with some analysis but his exams are nothing like it. They're MC and the information is found in the textbook. Read the textbook or you're going to have a hard time in this class.

Class was somewhat slow, and he seemed to only want to focus on the chapters that were applicable to the current state of the economy (which isnt necessarily a bad thing). Overall, skipped a few important macro-topics. Extremely friendly Prof. READ THE BOOK and be sure to study lecture slides. DO THE HOMEWORK PROPERLY! (20% of grade so talk to TAs)

I got an A in this class and I know nothing about macroeconomic theory. Just study the practice tests. Don't go to class unless you need a nap.

Econ 101 is a very boring class no matter who teaches it. Kapicka is no exception. Virtually pointless to go to lecture unless you have about 3 energy drinks before or else you will be asleep the whole time. Read the book outside of class, do practice midterms, and you'll do fine. Huge curve.

nice guy, but i found it personally pointless to go to lecture. go to his and ta's office hours and ABSOLUTELY DO THE HOMEWORKS. he uses the book extensively, so carefully read the chapters b/c that's where all the multiple choice questions come from. class requires a lot of time, but it's definitely not impossible to do well.

DO THE HOMEWORKS, GO TO SECTION AND APPROACH HIM ON OFFICE HOURS IF THINGS ARE NOT CLEAR. GREAT PROF. IF U ASK QUESTIONS SADLY HE EXPECTS YOU TO READ ALL CHAPTERS COVERED AND REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE DETAIL ON THE READINGS...

He seems to have lightened up from prior quarters in term of difficulty. Hard to understand because his accent, but really he means well. Go to his offfice hour and he will try to help you. Also pretty nice on regrades.

I rarely go to class, it's not very helpful but the slides were...Best advise is to form a study group. Study the prob sets, i think this quarter was easier than prior.

He's hopeful during his office hours if you go find him. He's nice and willing to help. However, his accent made him kindna difficult to understand often times. He's trying his best to help his students, so I think he's a pretty responsible prof
