| instructor comments : | I know everyone wants to get Hyman, but if you get stuck with Todd, you're still in good shape. Funny, sociable teacher, and he seems to know his stuff, especially well for a grad student. Explained the material well, to me, though sometimes didn't always make things as clear as they could have been. But considering his level of experience, I think he'll make a great prof in the future. |

| course comments : | The material tought in the course is not the most interesting stuff, but it applies greatly to the real world, so some could say it is important. EC 205's material covered both macro and micro economics and is not hard as lot of the principles in economics make common sense (in looking at examples in the world). |

The seats were assigned by where you were sitting when the seating document came around, so attempt to get there early to get a good seat. The book is online...helpful...just make sure to read it (that and/or the notes you take in class). |

| class comments : | As I said, the class is too much of a joke. I couldn't stay awake, so I stopped going. Didn't help with the 5 homework assignments he assigned through the semester that I never knew about. I think I did 2 of them. They take 5 minutes to complete, but again, you have to either go to class or have someone who does tell you about em. |

| class comments : | **This course is not as easy as people make it out to be, i think people try to screw you over on here sometimes... beware**
There was a strict attendance policy, though I don't think it was enforced. They must have pretended to check attendance. Class was far from easy. Lots of graphs and tons of materials. Grading is psycho... it comes down to 1 missed question on one of the 2 exams, and it's a point of your final grade. So you can screw yourself really really quick. |

NO HOMEWORK you grade consists of two mid-terms and a final exam. their's also 6 quizzes you take in the lab but they count next to nothing. students learn during the leactures then you go to the lab where a TA reviews everything and gives you the notes. i prolly wouldn't have gone to the lectures if their wasn't a attendence policy b/c you learn everything you need in the lab. the class has about 400 people in it so its kinda crowded |

| class comments : | Unlike all of the other Econ classes, our tests were all essay. The others were all multiple choice. You are also required to read the book The Choice, which if you can force yourself to read will help you a great deal on the following test or two. Mcelroy took attendance everyday, and there was assigned seating. There wasn't any outside work minus reading that one book. He harps on taking notes in class, but they are basically useless. Tests are all open note and open book, but if you don |
| instructor : | Mcelroy |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Bring your roseta stone to decipher what he writes on the board. Lectures can get very boring, but the material isn't exactly the most entertaining. On a positive note, Mcelroy truely enjoys his job and students. Very friendly, and to get students to actually learn the material opposed to spitting out memorized facts in multiple choice. |

He is like books on tape... read the book and you should be ok... nice guy, but is he a teacher? um no |

| class comments : | Great lectures, ppt presentations available online. Using dotlearn kind of sucked, 40 bucks to use an internet service when you can get something similar for free via webct/webassign.
Lectures were entertaining, material is related to current events. Provides better understanding of financial and political situations.
Lots of girls from all different colleges.
Goto class the last day of the semester for a finale, you won't be dissapointed. |

| course comments : | the material was not very interesting nor was it very easy. economics seems like something you would have to be very interested in to be able to understand easily. |

| class comments : | not too much work -- 1 midterm, 1 final, 2 homeworks & a chance for extra credit. i wish i hadn't bought the book since i used his course pack & my class notes more than the actual book. |
