Fun and interesting class. Readings are easy and usually pretty interesting. The two midterms are a joke, but the final WILL lower your grade if you did fairly well on the midterms. Beware of the final, it is very tricky.

Elzinga is a great teacher and keeps the lectures fun and interesting. The material can be hard if you've never had econ before, but as long as you read and study the book you'll be fine.
Everyone should take this class. Elzinga is an amazing lecturer. Be sure to study a lot for the final though.
Awesome guy. Lectures are a little slow, but interesting material, and a must take for anyone a the University
LOVED THIS CLASS
An amazing class which I definitely recommend to anyone interested in econ. He's a superb lecturer, easy to listen to and understand the topics.
really nice guy. easy to work with
This class is a great intro to economics. Elzinga is very knowledgeable and keeps class interesting with real world examples and hands on demonstrations. The tests aren't too hard and there is little outside work.
A must take class at UVa, Professor Elzinga is one of the best teachers I have had. However, many people find the final to be tricky so its best to try to score high on all midterms to offset it.
Stefan was the best TA ever! Elzinga was interesting but I did not enjoy him as much as others did.
