Elzinga is a resound teacher and is sincere. He's passionate about Economics and it translates into his lectures. Read the chapters and go to class and you should be fine. The final is challenging, but if you do well in the midterms, it balances out.

Avoid Poyraz if you can as a TA, she is hard to understand...

Elzinga is a fine teacher. He is very hyped around campus. I don't know if he deserves it, while his personal accomplishments and knowledge are grand, this is him teaching the most basic economics course, which cannot be very demonstrative of those acheivements

Good class. It made me realize that Econ's not really my thing. It was interesting though, and Elzinga's definitely great. My TA was kind of dumb in my opinion, like he couldn't spell really basic words, and sometimes he wouldn't know the answer to some of our questions, but he was nice and summed up the material well.
