really bad teacher. easy class though, woulda been easier if he knew how to teach. makes everyting confusing as hell. take it with crouch instead.

You're gonna need your TA's help. He's often either vague or just out of it during lectures. He likes to go off on tangents and make mistakes on important topics in his slides and then try to correct them using a powerpoint marker so that it looks like a kid crayoned the entire thing. so, go to drop-in clas for questions read the ch. prior to class

Class wasn't too bad. He's a little corky, sometimes rude. The discussions are experiments-kind of fun but grade based on luck. extra credit opportunities with in class clicker questions. exams a bit tricky but do able. do practice questions on website. Need hw help-go to TA office hours. Review midterms for final. Read, practice, and hw=good grade

bergstrom's an insane guy, but not a fun insane like you get a good laugh every lecture--more like "what is this guy doing up there?" it seemed like he was a substitute teacher up there, reading his slides for the first time. he seemed slightly confused up there, but really smiley at the same time. not too difficult of a class, but not great either

Material was pretty easy but his lectures were very unclear.

worst and hardest class i have ever taken. DO NOT take this class with 16+ units, for you will die. i am failing this class, as well as others, because this class takes up ALL OF MY TIME AND EFFORT. bergstrom = SATAN..he is mean, and he has a mustache

No Comments

I usually dont put these comments up but I would really recommend that if there is another professor available to take that one. This professor doesn't give any helpful information regarding the exams. it seems as if he wants to make it very difficult for students to get even a C.

he is horrible. don't listen if anyone says he is easy because its soo not true. his tests have nothing to do w/ ANYTHING he lectures on. there is so much work outside of class it is ridiculous and he ridicules people in front of the ENTIRE class if you dont do well. he is basically a dick and the worst teacher i have ever had

His class is not the terror people claim. He is actually quite amusing if you listen to him. If you pay attention in lecture and do the readings and prep for experiments you should be fine. I put in very few hours per week and got a B in the class. Plus, the alternative is Crouch...trust me, take Bergstrom .

"don't listen, these people just did badly in the class because they are dumb. This guy is fine. not great, but not terrible. Try a class with crouch then you'll be loving bergstrom. The clicker was annoying, though." This person was completely right. Bergstrom wasnt the best, but at least he was fair and average as a teacher.

do NOT take any class from this man if you can possibly avoid it - unclear, sarcastic, boring, and UNFAIR. almost 50% of your grade is based on luck, and he is the worst person i have EVER heard try to explaing anything. DON'T TAKE IT!!!

what a baaaad class. lecture with him = naptime. damn clicker - always get questions wrong. and 10% of grade depends on your profits during experiments! what the heck! I got B- on all 3 quizzes..but i bombed the final - ended up with D as final grade! i heard a lot ppl get c or below...i've to take it AGAIN with crouch next quarter!!! DAMN!

So this man is defintely not a good lecturer at all. He thinks its high school or something where there is only 30 people in the class and you can call people out for leaving early. yeah you can't do that with 600 hundred people. I didt think the class was hard. the book was very good. experiments were fun, pointless but fun. gotta a B deserved A.

This was definitely the WORST class/professor of my life. The material he covers in lectures is absolutely nothing close to what you'll see on his tests. I ended up with a D in the class, and there's no way I deserved it. I honestly don't know why he's still teaching, and have lost all interest in considering econ as a major. He needs to stop!!

Your section is just an experiement for his bogus research and your TA is the conductor... so do not plan on recieving help from a TA. His tests are nothing like the material you will learn in class or in experiment. I pay to go to this school to learn, not to help some guy with an experiment in exchange for getting a C mixed into my GPA!

SO HE MUST HAVE HAD A REALLY BAD CHILDHOOD..BECAUSE HE SCREWED ME OVER BADLY. ONE PIECE OF ADVICE: GET RID OF YOUR CELL PHONE, IF IT GOES OFF DURING A QUIZ, YOUR GRADE WILL GO DOWN BY A WHOLE LETTER GRADE(LITERALLY) THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. HE ACTUALLY LOOKED UP MY ATTENDANCE TO SCREW ME OVER, AND MADE SURE THAT I WOULD FAIL...IM NOT LYING

WORST PROFESOSOR I'VE EVER HAD!!! talks to the floor, mumbles and makes no sense whatsoever

Oh my god the worst teacher ever. If you want to teach yourself the basics of economics, then I guess you might like him. Tests are confusing and screw you over. HE SUCKS!!!!

IMPOSSIBLE!!! STAY AWAY, i cant warn you enough this guys tests make noooo sense and will just make you walk away saying wtf, nothing like any CLAS practice tests, pretty much impossible and his curve blows, everyone gets C's very hard to do better

HORRIBLE professor!

His explanations suck. His lectures suck. If it weren't for the clickers, I wouldn't even bother going to lecture. Experiments make section go by really fast. He makes strange noises when he is lecturing and he says stupid things. He probably knows economics, he's just not a good teacher.

This man is amazing.
