Cons: -I had it for an 830 class so actually going to class was very difficult for me
-Easy class with even easier exams. I did not go to class ONCE and managed a 3.5 in the class with teaching myself all the material. Gives pop quizzes in class that count as 2% of extra credit towards your final grade.
Cons: no recitation so no one on one help.. you won't learn much..he said he was going to give a lot of opp for extra credit and only gave 3.. gave us a practice final that was 100 questions our actual final was 80
Not a social squirrel like most professors
Pretty good at relating materials to other topics
Cons: Class was way too early
He's a good instructor, no bad comments really. The two midterms were extremely easy but then again this course was just slighly more challenging than a high school economics class. Honestly, if you don't pass this course with at least a 2.0 then you're either a dumbass or you purposely did this to yourself because you hate college.
Cons: boring
Seth is your classic ass teacher in a funny way, he has an attitude of "I expect you to be able to do this and understand what's going on already, but if you don't... okay, I'll teach it." He does his best to make sure that everybody understands the materials. The biggest downside is how boring all of this is. The majority of the points are based on the two mid-terms and the final which at least for this class were almost the exact same tests as the sample mid-terms/exam that he sent us to study. Overall it's a good class.
Exam is easy as long as you study
Explains everything very well
Cons: Explains everything too well that it's hard to pay attention
Class is very straightforward and easy. He wants everyone to succeed so he will change the grading scale and give extra credit points just for people to pass. He's leaving this year though, so it's unfortunate no one else can experience an easy ec201 teacher
The class is a cakewalk, if you can't get a decent grade you should probably just give up on life. The grading scale is two exams worth 30% each, and a final worth 40%. All of it's multiple choice. The two exams are pretty easy, but the final is a bit harder. You really don't even need to pay attention during class, he puts all his powerpoint slides on Angel. If you take 3-4 hours to study the slides and take the practice exams before a test you should ace it. Also, GO TO CLASS! He gives tons of extra credit through random EC quizzes. You're pretty much guaranteed to increase your grade AT LEAST 10-15% if you're there to take all of them. So definitely try to get Seth if you're taking this class, it was my easiest 4.0 ever.
