ECON191C . Deschenes O 16 Years Ago

He does not care about attendance. You do not need to buy a book for 191cc. He posts the lectures and midterm review questions online. He drops the lowest midterm grade. The final was not mainly from the review questions. He gives out the concepts that need to be covered for the final; make sure to go over them in addition to review questions.

ECON150B . Deschenes O 16 Years Ago

he is a really nice person and all but the lectures were extremely boring. very easy to get good grades on the midterms because he gives the class the questions in advance. however, i would not take the class again because the material is boring

ECON150A . Deschenes O 17 Years Ago

Not as easy as everyone says. Do the homeworks ahead of time and get them right. Midterm and test questions taken directly from the homeworks and practice tests. Funny guy, just don't underestimate the class.

Great class and great professor. Clear and well structured lectures with excellent slides. Didn't even purchase the textbook and got an A.

He's a great professor. If you go to his office hours before tests and homeworks are due, you can get alot of hints and sometimes answers from him.

ECON150B . Deschenes O 18 Years Ago

He could be a little more straightforward with his lectures, but overall he's seems like a nice guy who cares about his students. All his slides and practice tests are online, although not until after class, but it helps when you just can't make it to lecture. Not as challenging as 150A with Bedard, but I'd suggest this as an econ elective.

ECON150A . Deschenes O 20 Years Ago

Great class & professor. Most of material is basic stuff from other classes (ie supply/demand, indiff curves). Only midterm, 2 HW, and final. All quite fair. All from lectures, but book helps. Only drawback is no curve since class is pretty easy. A little studying and decent understanding of material should get at least a B.
