Rojas is nice... but he's overrated. There's no reason to delay taking 103 just to take it with him. Like others have said, his tests are similar to the practice exams and homework problems that he assigns. However, his tests are really, really time crunched.
One of the worst experiences ever. Professor Rojas spends forever on painfully simple concepts, even making many mistakes while doing so. In fact, he spent so much time on basic set theory that he cut out maximum likelihood estimators from the course, which was arguably the only difficult part of Econ 41. Going to lecture was the biggest waste of time ever--Rojas just throws some definitions at you and then does the most simple examples ever. Lectuers were boring and the class overall doesn't require much thinking at all.
Rojas is a great professor. For the most part he explains everything clearly during lecture and gives lots of examples. He may go a bit fast during lecture sometimes, but that is my only complaint. He is very helpful during office hours and seems to really care about student learning. I found his final to be a lot more difficult than the midterms, so be prepared for that.
Professor Rojas is very clear in his lectures and slides. He has a very good TA team so even if he is not available for office hours, his TA's are. He gives lots of practice midterms and questions and they are pretty similar to the actual tests. Not the easiest class but definitely the best professor to take it with.
