i did not like this course. i thought the tests, like the iclicker questions, were full of random questions. I did all of the reading and went to all the sections, lectures, and review sessions, and still thought a good portion of questions were out of thin air. Seems like his style worked for others though...

Rupert was an awesome teacher. The tests were very fair and the homework was reasonable. I didn't go to section the entire year. The only downer is the class is pre-econ so they force a curve to defer people from becoming econ majors. This class was one of my favorite at UCSB so far tho.

Extremely usefull class and the teacher is great. Peter worked for the FED and really knows all the staff. He is not teaching just sole theory but real life staff. Very enthusiastic. He always wants to help students in whatever they demand.Great job Peter.

Rupert is awesome! During lecture he is informative (he worked for the Fed so he actually knows his stuff) and really funny. His tests are very fair, you will do well if you go to lecture and spend enough time studying. He's also very helpful if you approach him about concepts you don't understand. Get Jennifer Milosch as your TA, she's the best!
