Start hard for final, it's much harder than the previous tests

Coppock is fantastic. He's engaging, explains concepts well, and knows exactly what he's talking about. The content is interesting and worthwhile.
Kelli Bird was my TA, she's not very good, kind of annoying, not a good teacher, and not that knowledgeable. Her discussion sections were useless, although the lectures are good enough that I'd imagine all the discussions are useless.

Coppock is possibly the best Econ professor I've ever had. EXTREMELY enjoyable. You'll have a blast in his class.

Coppock has great lectures. IF you pay attention in class and take notes, you won't have to open the book. His tests aren't easy, but they often come from the details of his lectures, so you must take notes. There's a good curve at the end of the semester.

his teaching style is much like mr. elzinga's. funny and insightful. make sure to go to lectures and you will definitely learn a lot.

best professor/class so far! loved this class, go to his office hours, he's such a nice guy, and it makes the experience so much better. he's funny, and enthusiastic in lecture. i loved going to class. definitely challenging, but so worthwhile.

Coppock is the best prof I have had at UVA so far...final is difficult but shouldn't be too bad if you study

Great class to take-Coppock is a great lecturer and definitely makes class interesting. First two tests aren't that bad. Information comes directly off his slides so as long as you've been to class there's no excuse to not get at least a B on both of them. Final is a bit more tricky but not impossible as some make it out to be. It just requires a bit more preparation and has more obscure information on it. For example, Coppock will basically spell out what he wants you to know for the first two tests, but he's pretty vague about what is important for the final. He draws on obscure facts/information, but most of that information can still be found in the slides. Sherry Forbes was a decent T.A. We had 4 pop quizzes but they weren't too hard (she is lenient on grading those as well as the tests). Reading is useless if you have previous knowledge of economics, as coppock takes all questions from lecture.

Midterms are extremely hard if you don't pay attention in class and/or study.

Coppock is an amazing professor, he genuinely cares about econ and it clearly shows in his lectures. You will learn a lot more in Coppocks class compared to taking with a TA, but its more difficult. DO NOT rely on the dutch knockout it its do-able but it is very tough. The final is a lot tougher than the exams.
