Elzinga kind of scares me but he knows what he's talking about

The class was worthwhile, Elzinga is a very good teacher but the tests are difficult.

Professor Elzinga is occaisonally amusing and always full of information about his subject.

Interesting lectures, but the tests are more of a reflection of the material in the book.

TA makes or breaks you

Economics is the most useful class I have taken at UVA so far. It has changed my outlook entirely. Especially helpful for reading the newspaper and keeping up with current events in general.

Elzinga's lectures are very easy to listen to and although you may understand what he is going over in lecture you must read the book to really understand the concepts. The tests are more concept based and discussion type questions than actual problems. Make sure you get a good TA!

My favorite course in my first semester here. That is coming from someone who will probably be an econ major, but it is definately worth taking no matter what your major. It will teach you useful principles to apply in just about whatever job market you enter.

Fun lectures even though some information is irrelavant to tests. Tests are from the book - and kind of tricky.

Mr. Elzinga is one of the best professors at the University. ECON 201 with Mr. Elzinga is a must for all UVA students.
