ECON 002

Introductory Microeconomic Analysis and Policy

4

Dirk Mateer *** is a great teacher. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches and he does very well to project his ideas to the class. His homeworks aren't mandatory, but they earn you extra credit, making you actually want to do the assignments.

ECON 002

Introductory Microeconomic Analysis and Policy

2

Pros: He gives a lot of extra credit which can really boost a low grade. He is very enthusiastic about economics.

Cons: He does not define terms easily and his notes can be very confusing. Compared to other economics teachers he is not as good. He loves to give examples in class but never clearly defines the terms of the examples he is giving.

I really did not enjoy this class and thought it was very difficult.
