| instructor comments : | This guy couldn't speak perfect English, but I always understood what he meant, and is better than most that might have a difficulty with the launguage. Gave a ridiculously large curve. A+ was from 100 - 90, A was from 90 to 83 or something, and so on. Tested only material in which he had taught from the class, and let us use our notes for the tests and the final! I bought the book, but didn't really use it at all. |

| instructor comments : | Hamann a native Colombian but speaks good, coherent English (!). He is an animated lecturer and it is not easy to fall asleep in his class. He cancelled class a few times, gave two exams the whole semester with only two problems each, AND gave a final exam that was IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY to the practice final he gave us. There were two questions on that one, one for competitive market pricing and one for monopoly pricing. The two exams he gave during the semester kicked my ass pretty thoroughly |

| course comments : | Economics is boooring. It's all theory, terms, and jargon. It's stuff you have to learn before you get to the real interesting stuff. Business strategy/philosophy, which is more interesting to me, is not in this class at all, so don't expect that. |

| course comments : | This class is pretty stupid. It is, of course, necessary for any student doing anything in business. But still, I didn't like it all that much. Very boring topic and very simple concepts. As an engineer, it was a waste of mine time (though is required) |

| class comments : | I took the honors section and i dont think it is any different than the regular section. So, it is pretty easy honors credit considering it was pretty easy. Class was let out early very rarely. No HW was required, no attendence policy. You can basically just read the book, take the test, and be fine. His lectures are powerpoint PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE TEXT BOOK. |

| class comments : | The actual material was pretty interesting. The teacher is really enthusiastic, but somehow kind of boring at the same time. I didn't take notes, since the tests were only on the book material. The class required minimal work, and the curve took care of most people's needs. Many opportunites for extra credit. Attendance was required, but feel free to sleep. There were a couple of videos. Lots of girls. |

| instructor comments : | Lee has an unusual sense of humor. He can be sarcastic at times, but it's usually to make fun of the cookie-cutter examples in the text, so it's all good. Tests are basically the homework with the numbers changed around and a bit more depth to each question. |

| instructor rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| instructor comments : | She would give us practice tests before the test and/or quiz, and the caliber of material on the practice was WAY different then the actual material every time. She taught straight from the book, wrote directly on the board, and made simple ideas much more convoluted then they had to be. She was from India but was easy to understand. |

| class comments : | Dr. Craig made a pretty boring course halfway interesting. Attendence wasn't mandatory, but I'd recommend going. Entire class period spent on lecture - so don't take it if that bothers you. Lectures are very clear, lots of good examples. Reading assigned outside of class, I didn't do any of it. About 5 fairly easy homework assignment, 3 exams. |

Very easy load (no homework except about 5 nights the whole semester) and one single 5 page paper due at the end...the only thing was the tests were a bit tough and sometimes you'd see questions that he hadn't really went over yet, but he helps you out grade-wise a lot if you just show up daily and participate. |

| instructor comments : | One of the best teacher's I've ever had at NCSU. He was really cool, straight from Africa w/ the accent and everything but was very Americanized. He's hilarious as well, and this keeps class fun & enjoyable. He's got a great wealth of knowledge of the subject and makes class fun and interesting. |

Drew graphs& not explain them very well. Literally learned on my own w/book,so buy it. classattendance taken everyclass. Never let out early. Would try to show ppt slides but didn't give enough time to write down notes for them UGH. some test ?s made no sense. |

| course comments : | It's economics...you get what you want out of it. Material is interesting if you are a money grubber and serious about your grubbing. This course was required of me as it is required of most of us. There's quite a bit of material, and the material--though simple in theory--was hard as a result of the subtle differences in terms and theories. Economics is hard simply because economists made it that way. |

| instructor : | Tsoulouhas |
| instructor rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| instructor comments : | He speaks with an accent, but I had little trouble understanding him--others may feel differently. Assignments were graded promptly but NEVER explained. He had no set office hours, which basically means you better be prepared to suck a dick if you want to meet with him. He was very friendly, a truly nice guy. As far as teaching goes, this man is awful. He is awful because he lacks perspective: he thinks because it's easy for him it must be easy for everyone else. And he is wrong about that |
