Deepak Lal easily ranks as one of the premier contributors to the field of Economic Development. Pick up just about any textbook on Growht, Development or Macro-Econ. However, he isn't winning any points with his teaching. He often mumbles, he rarely draws out his charts from scratch, he makes it insanely difficult to keep up with his notes and to make matters worse he stands still for the entire lecture. But the upside is that his exams are fair. If you study your notes you'll do well. If you're interested in Growth and/or Development, take the class. If not, find something you'll be more interested in.

Winter 2022 - Do not take this class. It was one of the most ridiculous electives I've taken, and having had Professor Osei for multiple classes prior to this quarter, I was honestly surprised at how bad this class was. She broke down the class into two part, the first 4 weeks were taught by her and we had two quizzes that were kinda challenging but manageble (open note). Then, the rest of the quarter was GROUP PRESENTATIONS that were a significant part of your grade, and so many people I know got stuck with terrible groups and got pretty bad grades on their presenation. Not only that, but this information was on the final, and made up most of the final. So, she didn't even teach 60% of the course and yet we were tested on it. She also makes the class out of 100 points and doesn't curve. So, take with that what you will but I would avoid.
