Grade: B

Midterm was a piece of cake, but the final was very difficult. I wouldn't say Denis is the worst professor ever and that you should avoid him as much as possible though. Going to lecture is quite valuable. He isn't the most engaging person in the world, but he does care. He hold office hours and is willing to answer many questions. I'm kinda pissed I got a B, but the final is worth 60% of the grade and is REALLY hard!!

Chetverikov was very clear in his expectations and was always willing to help after class. Wookun Kim and Changsu Ko were very capable TAs.

The lectures and homework assignments were extremely useful. Professor Chetverikov was very helpful and patient with answering students' questions, even right after the lectures. While most professors are unwilling to stay after class to talk to students, he makes sure that everyone who has questions gets a chance to ask him directly. The weekly homework is relatively short and very doable, not to mention, great review for the midterm and final. The midterm was extremely easy, as long as you pay attention in lecture and understand all the homework problems (including non graded ones). The final was slightly more difficult, mostly because its 70 questions. He posted 2 practice finals, but I only did one and reviewed all the homework, which was enough to do very well on the final. Overall, one of the most interesting classes I've taken at UCLA, even though some topics weren't that engaging.

Before I took the class, I was worried because everyone says it's one of the most difficult lower divs for Econ. I had a pretty tough time with Econ 11 so I was prepared for the worst. The class actually turned out to be relatively easy, especially the midterm. Discussions are not mandatory but are pretty helpful because they go over a lot of problems that show up on the homework or practice exams. Make sure you take down notes because it'll be hard to find how to do a certain problem if you don't have it down somewhere. Professor has some witty jokes now and then which keep things interesting.

I highly recommend Chetverikov over Rojas because it seemed like my friends in Rojas were having a really tough time. Do the practice exams before the midterm and final and you can easily get an A!

The weekly homework is relatively short and very doable, not to mention, great review for the midterm and final. The midterm was easy (I got 100%), as long as you mildly pay attention in lecture and make sure to understand all the homework problems, including non graded ones. The final was slightly more difficult, mostly because its so damn long. He posted 2 practice finals, but I only did one and reviewed all the homework, which was enough to get 67/70 (I also guessed on the last 3 cause they were kinda hard and I just wanted to leave lol). Overall, one of the better classes I've taken at UCLA, even though some topics weren't that engaging.
