He is hilarious and very well educated in economics. He knows what he is talking about but is rather intimidating to approach. He also will call on people in lecture and totally bash you if you get the question wrong, but it is a worthwhile class.

Horrible man...yeah, funny if you enjoy lots of racial slurs. Comes to class **** all the time and is an all around ****. Great instructor if you really agree with Reaganomics.

Crouch is the most qualified teachers I have had at UCSB. He knows his Econ and he will make you know it too. Learn the essay questions and try to make study groups whenever possible. If you go to his office hours don't expect him to be your best friend.

Good Professor. You gotta know the essay questions or your screwed. He really knows his stuff

Grading system sucks, very curt when you go to office hours.

Not the nicest guy, but he gets the point across

Excellent teacher, interesting lectures, he definitely knows econ. You'll do fine in the class if you just memorize the essay questions he gives you.

Great teacher!! He knows what he's talking about, and he picks on people!!

Make flashcards for the essays with a friend. And don't wear a hat in class or he will pick on you. He's hilarious though, one of the only non-liberal professors on campus.

Hilarious, vodka-swilling, French-hating old man. Definitely worth a class.

This is the best and hardest class you will take at ucsb. You HAVE to come to class to do well but he is very clear if u pay attention and really knows his stuff!plus, his comments are hilarious!!!

Hard class but you will learn a lot. Rides a harley, was one of reagans advisors and can be found at the elephant bar having a few drinks before class. He is a very smart man and teaches a difficult class. Study hard!

talks too fast and handwriting is aweful but he definitely knows his econ. memorize the farm problem for the first midterm. econ means crouch at ucsb.

Just memorize the essays. You have to start studying early, but if you go to lecture and listen carefully, you'll be fine.

scary to approach, but knows his material! you MUST go to class to do well, but if you listen he explains everything pretty clearly. his comments take a little getting used to, but i found them hillarious.

exams are too tough and he talks way too fast. Also, his handwriting could use some improvement.

Great teacher. Kind of crazy and has been known to cancel morning classes due to hangovers. Brilliant guy and knows his ****.

He will either be the best or worst professor you will ever experience. One cannot fully comprehend the UCSB experience without taking this class.

He needs to seriously work on his hand writing

You'll love him or hate him. Personally I thought he was hilarious as well as being one of my best and fav lecturers.

His tests are unpassable. he tells you that u should listen, but u cant understand a word he says. good luck, buddy!!!
