I just don't like Economics very much. Elzinga himself was fine.

I found Econ as a subject matter extremely boring. It's almost entirely intuition, and what little isn't is memorization. Elzinga as a professor is quite good though, his lecture is very structured and organized, and he conveys a genuine interest in the subject matter.

He's awesome. He cares about you. He is accessible at office hours, email, and before/after lecture. He's such a cute college professor. I mean, he's the epitome of the iconic professor.

Anyway, read the book, it's not tough and isn't as dry as most. His lectures are great and covers it all, but I would still read.

Christine Stec was a great TA. She isn't the best at coming up with creative examples, but she will still convey the concepts well if you come with questions.

The tests/quizzes were super easy. You should be ashamed if you don't get an A in this class.

Don't forget to bring your clicker for the meeting of the clicker club.

I really though Econ changed the way I look at the world. I now look at everything in terms of opportunity costs and tradeoffs. It really does give you a different mindset. And I think that's what a great class does.
