Winter 2022 - This is a very doable classes. The key to success is to make sure you show up everyclass, and complete all his study questions before his exams. There are not too many workload, and all exams are open books which means that you can even print his study questions out since many exams questions are taken directly from the practice questions(maybe changing some number or some wording, but same idea). Professor is very clear and as an international student with weak English skills, I am able to follow his lecture without any confusion. Gradings are 25% midterm1, 25% midterm 2 and 50% finals. His office hour is helpful as well. The content is interesting for me, I would absolutely want to take his class again.

She complained a lot about what we should have learned in Econ 101 and didn't. Or at least she thought we didn't just because students rarely raised their hands to participate. She tried to make the class interactive, but we would have learned a lot more if she had spent more time actually lecturing and less time waiting for students to explain things. The tests were fair, but I was still disappointed that I learned more about trade theory in my other econ classes or even poli sci classes.
