David S. Ball
Ec201 Introduction to Economics I
"I slept through every single class even though I wasn't tired, and he grades hard."
"He is a very bad teacher. I haven't learned a thing. He takes attendence and gives quizes weekly on material he doesn't teach. We only have the quizes, a paper, and a final for grades. "
Fall 97 "He should retire!"
Fall 97 "This guy is the most horrible teacher I've ever seen in my life ! He doesn't teach anything in class, gives weekly quizzes and makes the most awful jokes I've ever heard. Sleep is one thing that comes easy in his class even though you have had 3-4 cups of strong coffee!"
Spring98 "My grade in the class was C. if you want to be put asleep this is the class. whether you sleep or not you will still receive the same low grade"

Dr. Fisher
Fall97 "Babbles about applying Economics for the entire hour and fifteen minutes. His tests are all essay form and discussion questions. Avoid if you can't write well. Doesn't care about attendance or coming in late."
"Class : 202, I took the class in Spring,1999 . I give this teacher a 2 out of 4, my grade in the class was B.
Lectures are extremely boring. Does not care if you sleep. His lectures are meaningless. You should learn the stuff on your own."

"Has an horible hand writing"
EC301-"This guy is tough, but if you do well he is worth it. Your understanding of Microeconomics will grow infinitely! Has a somewhat cynical, economic viewpoint towards people and their behavior. Be prepared to work hard!"

Dr. Hyman
Ec201
Fall97 "He's an awesome teacher, really funny and knowledgeable. He wrote the text book and he teaches right from it so studying is pretty easy. The class sucks, however... very boring and it's in a big lecture hall, so the incentive to go isn't really there"
Spring99 EC205 "My grade in the class was C.
Well, I liked him at first. But then I tried to talk to him and he was a real ass. He could care less about your grade...all of his tests are multiple choice, so he makes it easy for you to get a bad grade. He wrote the book, so he's very knowledgable about the topic. However, he has the most boring class, as he teaches straight from the book. Don't go. He doesn't care. "

EC 205H
"Very witty; is interesting and a top notch scholar in his field - public policy of competitive and monopolistic corperations"
Fall97 - "A wonderful teacher. Class can get a little boring sometimes but that is because of the material, not the the teaching. He is fun in class and uses modern examples for class study. He is active in econimics and readily shares his latest contributions. An excellent teacher, take him for sure!!"

Michael B. McElroy
Ec302H
"Named
"Outstanding Professor"
He definitely deserves it."
"He has just created his own new course (EC 348 International Economics) which will be offered for the first time next fall (Fall96). It will cover material that is now spread over both 448 and 449 at a slightly more accessible analytical level. It is primarily designed for non-majors and minors. Then, next Spring, he'll teach EC 375 (Comparative Economic Systems) which will also be internationally oriented, but will focus on issues of political economy and what we know (and don't know) about economic growth and prosperity."

Holt
Ec/ARE 201
Spring98 "My grade in the class was A.
Professor Holt made class fun. He made jokes that were actually FUNNY. Good examples that were easy to understand. Had alot of knowledge of the subject matter for someone who was just in his first semester here at State. His homework and tests come almost straight from the workbook and he allows notecards for tests. I had fun and made a good grade...definitely high marks from me!"
