Elzinga is the man... take his class if you get the chance! Probably the most personable professor I've ever had.

Elzinga is such a great teacher and such a nice man. He never messes up in his lecture and is very approachable. If you have the chance, even if you're not interested in econ, he makes it very enjoyable.

Elzinga is totally awesome. This class is really easy overall, the material isn't difficult and is exceptionally elementary up until the first test. It's almost embarrassing. The clicker questions were a joke- I've yet to miss one, but hey, easy points, right? But Elzinga is brilliant and amazing. He is such an amusing individual- the class as a whole laughs frequently and genuinely, not forced for the sake of the teacher liking them. Some people complained about how he starts and finishes a bit early for lecture and therefore "doesn't use his time well", but I've yet to see a need for the additional ten minutes or so that he usually cuts off. He assigns very little work at all, your grades are almost entirely based on the tests, which I didn't find to be as bad as everyone else was describing. Elzinga makes economics applicable, interesting, and fun. Highly recommended, fantastic teacher.

Side ntoe: The mandatory discussion annoyed the hell out of me because I found it totally redundant and unnecessary, but Zach Moller is pretty good (can't really spell or write well but that's negligible), definitely not the worst I'd seen (I had to transfer out of Danila Panikov's session- he was horrid).

I think this class is really hard if you have not had exposure to ECON before. I would recommend a smaller class it is easier to learn and you are allowed to ask questions.

Elzinga is highly overrated. He wastes class time telling stories as opposed to working practice problems.

Good Class, Dutch Knockout is the best. Only problem is its like 500 people, so its easy to dose off and not care about the class.

I had a horrible TA which made the class harder, but it was tough to begin with. Do not take unless really interested in Econ/applying to the Comm school.

Elzinga is awesome!!! The class isn't very exciting but is all need to know material. Take it while you can.

A fairly easy class, but you still have to study for it. Elzinga is very dedicated to helping students, as for example he personally made sure I got back into the class after an error on SIS. Some TA's are much better than others, though, and this may significantly impact your grade because they vary on ability to explain the material and amount/difficulty of weekly quizzes.

A must take class at UVA
