This course carries a very light weekly workload with virtually no homework, but your final grade rests almost entirely on a handful of high-stakes exams. Midterms and quizzes are typically straightforward and mirror provided study guides, while the final is consistently longer and much trickier, making it highly inadvisable to rely on the Dutch knockout policy to save your grade. Lectures mainly consist of reading through slides and can feel dry, but the instructor is consistently praised for being approachable, deeply passionate about the material, and genuinely willing to help students succeed. To earn a top mark, you will need to self-study diligently, work through all practice problems, and closely review the textbook, as exam questions often probe specific concepts and phrasing not fully emphasized in class.
Professor Doyle is really nice, but the class itself is boring. The final is also more difficult than the first two tests, so don't depend on the dutch knockout.

The first two tests were not bad and the averages were around 70-75. The final was horrible. Even though it was multiple choice the questions were difficult to understand and nothing like the first two tests. I had an A before the final and I ended up with a B+. He did not curve the class even though the averages on the tests were low

Great Professor and straight-forward class. I would definitely recommend taking his class. Dutch knockout is nice, but overall class is not very difficult so unlikely to need it. Doyle is funny at times although a little dry with his humor. Solid intro to Macroeconomics.
