Awesome guy, pretty easy class. We had 3 exams & 8 homeworks, but he dropped the lowest of each. Also, if you participate in his class, there is a chance to get bonus points that apply to your overall grade. He really connected with students and was very understanding of absences and exceptions to assignments this semester with COVID.

He made the Economics of International Finance interesting. Take his notes well, they'll help you on his final. He always had something interesting to say.

Graded by few thingsHilariousAmazing lectures
Amazing professor. He's young so he understands the college struggle. he gives extra credit if you participate in class. 3 exams, he drops the lowest. 5 homework assignments and you get 3 tries. he really wants all of his students to succeed and it shows. definitely would take another class with him.

Every class is a lecture and he uses the chalkboard for notes but all you have to do is write what he has on the board and that's all you need to pass any tests. Tests are nearly identical to the practice test available on d2l. Gives a homework assignment probably every 1-2 weeks but all answers are given during class. participation is valued
