I know everyone says this, but seriously, take this class. You'll learn a lot from a very good teacher. I highly recommend going to office hours to visit with Elzinga. Long wait sometimes, but it's worth it.

Really gives you a grasp on what Econ is about. Elzinga is the best professor for it and should be the one to take. Material is definitely not easy so make sure to put in the effort and hours
I came into this class expecting a professor who could not only handle 500 students, but make it seem like you're the only one in the room. Unfortunately, I think I got a little over-hyped and when I realized that his lectures, though entertaining, are just another lecture, and for the most part, designed for large classes. I can't blame the guy, in fact, he's really cool, it's just not the life-altering experience everyone had promised me. For the most part, you get most of the material out of the Colander book. The discussion sections are virtually useless; I'd rather spend my time reading.
Elzinga is awesome. Why are you even looking at this? Take the class
Great course, must take
Fantastic class, a must take.
lectures are interesting and enjoyable. you can really tell he cares about his students and how economics is related to real world problems.
This class is hard. 2nd midterm was unnecessarily difficult for some reason even though in the past both midterms have been said to be easy. Elzinga is a cool dude, though.
Very Nice class
Great class. The lectures are very interesting. Take lots of notes.
