Really interesting class, Elzinga is usually pretty captivating and knows his stuff. DO NOT GET RAHUL DUTTA as a discussion section leader. Cannot think of a worse dicsussion leader.

Generally boring class with occasional interesting moments. Take it with someone else if you are more concerned about grades than entertainment, because the final is very hard.

Overall, the class was kind of a disappointment! I went into it thinking economics would be an interesting course, and it totally stunk. I think Elzinga is a great person, but not the greatest of Lecturers

Elzinga is a great economist and I really liked him as a person. HOWEVER the tests were extremely difficult and I heard from others that the other professor for the other class isn't quite as interesting but the class is much easier. Alex Smith is a really really good T.A.

Elzinga is very interesting and this is a very easy class if you pay attention. Lectures generally give only conceptual material but the midterms emphasize mathematical or graphical examples. Therefore going to discussion is very useful, purchase the study guide too and it will save you a lot of reading!

Awful TA. Couldn't understand anything he said in discussion or anything he wrote on the board. Misgraded all my exams and was absolutely no help, whereas other TAs would give their students study guides and actual assistance.

Great class and Elzinga is definitely the best professor to take it with! He makes himself very available to students, tests are fair and not too difficult. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it!
