ECON 11 Great Professor. Funny and keeps lecture interesting. However,he doesn't go over many examples in lecture so attend your section and practice all the problems. I got a B and if I studied a bit harder, an A is possible. Would take him again

Mazzocco is definitely my favorite professor in UCLA so far! His lectures are clear, organized, and interesting. If you pay attention in class, do the practice exams, and attend discussions, then you should do well on the midterms and final. I thought Econ 11 would be hell for me but it turned out to be great because of Mazzocco!

Definitely don't take mazzocco for econ 11, took him last year and learned nothing. he is very difficult to understand, which makes taking econ 101 very difficult given that you didn't understand econ 11! Cantu Garcia is a much better professor when it comes to clarity and learning. i got a C- in mazzocco's class then re-took econ 11 with Cantu Garcia and got an A-.

I really enjoyed taking microeconomics with Professor Mazzocco. He made lectures interesting, and went through them at a suitable pace. Don't be worried if you skip a lecture; he just goes over his powerpoints in lecture, which you can always print out online. However, all of the problems he shows you how to do in class will prove useful; they either appear on the problem sets or on his exams. His exams are not hard at all if you review the problem sets and old exams he posts.

Just make sure you don't get a horrible TA; I had Federico and that section really wasn't helpful at all. I would recommend Sophia or Ken as TA's.

Good Professor. Tests on material he teaches in class. Makes the material easy.

Top-notch professor. I heard this course was one of the harder econ courses, but Mazzocco made it really easy to understand. He put up his lecture slides online before each lecture, so we'd just print them and bring it to class. He is very good at explaining the concepts in microeconomics, and he never rushed through his points. His lecture pace was perfect, although we didn't get to cover the last chapter of material.

His tests were fair. If you just did the problem sets and practice tests he put online, you're good to go. He only tests off of what he lectured and problem sets he assigned, not what the book teaches. I'd recommend him highly, because I definitely want to take more of his classes in the future.

Good teacher
Tests were fair
just need to read his powerpoint slides and do the practice exam.

One of my best professors so far. He drops the lower midterm which definitely helped me to get a good grade. His humorous lectures make me regret skipping a few of them. However, make sure you get a good TA for this class as the materials are way more difficulty than Econ 1 or 2.

Mazzocco is definitely a brilliant Economist and an engaging lecturer. I thought the material was pretty dry, but he maybe it somewhat bearable. You get a lot of resources to do well including old midterms and finals, powerpoint slides, discussion problems and the problem sets. If you can get through everything, you'll do well. I personally thought the hardest part were the multiple choice questions.

Even though he curves pretty generously, you still need to pull As on at least one midterm and an A/high B on the final to get an A in the class. I got a A on a midterm, and a B on the final and didn't get an A somehow. Because he drops a midterm if your final is higher than either of them, you really have to do well. Over 30% of the class got an A on the second midterm. I think the curve really helps the people on the lower end.
