Elzinga is extremely over-rated. True, he is a good public speaker, but he doesn't even lecture for the whole class period (he starts late and ends early) and spends a good portion of the class reading emails people sent him. Elzinga is an intelligent person, but I feel like I don't learn much from his lectures. The tests are impossible to do well in unless you diligently ready the book. He doesn't hide his conservative political beliefs and sometimes comes off as a little arrogant.

Same old same old, Elzinga is the king. He gave out his home phone number to 1000 students in case we needed help and he wasn't on grounds and the class is extremely simple if you skim the book and go to lecture. However, my T.A., Jie Liu, had such a profound misunderstanding of the english language that discussion was more entertaining than helpful... which made his quizzes impossible, because they, along with his lectures, were composed in what I can assume is the language that American infants utter.

Read the textbook, it really helps clarify lecture material!

Worthwhile class.

funny professor, good lecturer. tests can be tricky though

overall, an okay class, doesnt live up to the hype for me

Rasit really cares about helping everyone, and sometimes can be hard to understand, but he realizes it and will explain something a different way to aid in fully understanding the material.

Great class. I didn't really know anything about economics before taking the class, so it was a great introduction to micro. Be sure to do the practice final to see what kind of multiple choice questions he may ask.

good class, elzinga is god

Exams are very hard, but only because they are written in unintentionally vague/misleading ways.
