This class is one of those where the textbook will teach you more than the actual class. Buy the mindtap online textbook because there are thousands of extra problems. The key is practice. Theres only 3 grades including a final which is 50% of the entire grade. What that means is every question counts on both the midterm and final. Each midterm question is worth 1 percent of the final grade and each final question is worth like .8 percent of the final grade. There is only so many notes you can take and the good thing is everything on the final was a word problem so if you practice tons and tons of word problems, you will be able to master most of the exam.

I have taken both Economics 1 and Economics 2 with Professor Rojas. I really enjoyed his Econ 1 class and did very well in it. I felt very prepared and I feel like he did a very good job of covering the material. However, in Economics 2 I feel like he has not done the same. I have not understood the concepts as well and I feel like he does not go as in depth as he did for Econ 1. When you attend his office hours he is very open to talk to and very willing to help you but he is not very good with responding to emails. He does have very good powerpoints that he posts online but in his lectures he basically just reads off of them.

I had Professor Rojas for Econ 1.

Overall, his class is taught very well. He puts all the information on the powerpoints online, so it is not a big deal if you miss class. That being said, I'd recommend going to class whenever possible.

His tests are straightforward and tailored heavily to the homework. Write down any homework questions you don't know, as his tests end up being very similar to the homework problems. Practice tests are also extremely helpful for this class.

He obviously cares about the subjects and the students, and the class isn't very hard. I'd highly recommend him as a teacher.

I only took econ 2 with this guy. I took econ 1 with Mike sproul.

Grade: B+

Mike > Randall. I love Mike

This guy has a quite boring tone. You will often space out or fall asleep.
All the material is on powerpoint which he puts up, but attend lecture for clarification on some of the powerpoint slides.

2 mid terms
1 accumulative final.

final questions are composed of:
30% 1st midterm
30% 2nd midterm
40% new material after midterms.

I give Randall 6.3/10

This is for Econ 41

Professor Rojas is quite a character. Honestly the other reviews are somewhat right, it appears like he is concerned but that is not the case with his tests. I saw previous years and the exams were easy. My friends said take him but I am taking him right now and his averages are not high. He is not flexible about grading and in Econ there is hardly a curve. The department must have told him to make the test hard to weed more people out.

Oh and definitely study the practice exam questions. They are more or less the same format as the real exams. I wish I realized it before the final.

He is a very boring lecturer-- be sure to supplement the lectures with study groups and use AAP to make sure you get an A.

I am taking ECON106V in the summer session and now struggling on my homework. This course involves the usage of some stupid online tool called "connect". It charges me a significant amount of money and the information presented has little to do with what Rojas is teaching in the lecture. I have to read EVERY PARAGRAPH to complete the homework problems. Searching online is even more helpful than staring at the book with no clear examples. Hope I can survive.
