Rojas is a lecturer, not a professor. he is a really smart guy and knows what he's talking about and tells you everything he knows. but there is no effort to make sure you understand the material or any extraordinary examples that he gives that gives you that "ah ha!" moment. Rojas is a super nice guy though and does make an effort to have lecture slides and such. The TAs are useless. Diana Van Patten was pretty solid though compared to the others. The exams are hard but i managed to get an A- even with a C on the final. THE FINAL CONTAINS A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM POST SECOND MIDTERM UNTIL THE FINAL. i didn't know this and stopped paying attention in class after the second midterm and that screwed me. Overall i would take this class again, just make sure to supplement lectures with the textbook readings because those help a lot, go to class and actually pay attention, do the homework (no reason to not have a 100 for homework average you literally can take it twice and check your answers), and go to discussion. actively participate and keep up and youll be fine.

Rojas is easy to understand and makes a sincere effort to get students involved. He is a good teacher, but the tests are tough and the TAs are usually unhelpful so you have to put in your own work on a weekly basis. But going to lecture definitely helped me understand the material because he breaks it down to lames terms very well.

Rojas was an extremely helpful professor who really tried to engage with students to make sure they understood before he moved on. While his lectures can drag a bit (I had an 8 am so it was tough staying awake) I definitely recommend going as he explains the subjects very well. There are weekly hw assignments that aren't too bad, and those questions resemble the midterm questions almost exactly. Not a difficult class if you go to lecture and do the textbook readings.

My biggest pet peeve was that he didn't return the midterms thus you never really learned from your mistakes; making studying for the final more challenging. Not very good at replying to email. Overall, a very low demand and boring class. I would took take it again just because of how low the demand is. Rojas is a lecturer not a teacher.

Randall is a complete homie! His exams are directly sourced from the textbook, slides, and homework problems. The practice midterms he gives out are predictive of the midterms, however the final is slightly more difficult.

Be thankful to have the legendary Randall Rojas as a teacher!

Very easy class. Most of the tests have questions directly from homeworks or practice tests. Lectures are pretty boring but he talks directly from the slides which is helpful.

He was my first econ professor, and I would love to take him again! He was very clear, always open to questions, and whenever he explained something, he was sure to not overwhelm anybody. He has weekly homework, but it's 60 questions max. Not hard at all, and I would definitely recommend!

The book for this class is $170 at the textbook store.. I'm selling a few for $40, great condition! Email me ashyjames27@gmail.com

Professor Rojas is boring, period. If you know that you will be able to withstand the uninteresting topics he introduces to us, then you're good but if not, good luck.
