I enjoyed the lectures, and the material isn't that challenging. Make sure to stay on top of it though, as the tests can be a bit difficult.
Paying attention in lecture was easy with Coppock. His engaging style made me want to go to class and listen.
Coppock is great - little more difficult than Elzinga but another good experience with econ principles.
Coppock is awesome, he really cares about the subject and the lecture hour just flies by. The class is really not too difficult if you take comprehensive lecture notes, the book is more of a supplement to the lectures.
Everyone at uva should take this class.
TA is important, make sure you feel comfortable talking with them
Only people who do not really understand the topics covered in class will struggle with the exams. If you go to lecture, take good notes, and think through the exam then this class is simple.
His enthusiasm for the topic and teaching really shines through.
Coppick is a great lecturer, enthusiastic and funny and is able to keep a 500 person lecture hall engaged. However, his tests are somewhat tricky and even if you know the material you really have to think through questions on the tests. That being said, every test question comes from the lecture so there is no point in reading the book, which is a nice change from Elzinga.
