Not a terribly hard class. Go to lecture and pay attention and you'll do fine.

Lectures are surprisingly enjoyable most of the time.

Coppock is an amazing lecturer and knows the material really well, but it is really hard to learn the material and do well in a class of this size if you've never taken Econ before. Only take this class if you have to. As amazing as Coppock was, it was not easy to do well in. You either get it or you don't.

Kind of a weird class. Some of the exam questions were pretty ridiculous (weird calculations, lots of long division, etc.)

Class was pretty easy, but you have to be ready for anything on the exams

Hardly any homework. Lecture slides are provided, which makes midterm studying easier. Mr. Coppock puts time and thought into his lectures, which are very easy to understand. Tests are harder, require a good amount of studying.

Coppock is definitely underrated. He is a great professor and I feel that I learned far more from him than I have from other professors at UVa

Coppock is a little cocky, but he knows his stuff. Pretty easy to get a B in, study for an A

Coppock is great in lectures, but there often seems to be a disconnect between class, the book, and the tests. However, still worthwhile by a longshot.
Also, Zack Moller rocks as a TA.

Coppock was an awesome professor and does a great job of getting you to learn the concepts first, then providing concrete examples of them in the real world. My TA did the same very well. He speaks a little bit funny but did an awesome job of presenting the material in a different way (to supplement, not contradict Coppock) and also hammering in examples for you to practice

I loved 2020 so much more than 2010 and would recommend that if you are just taking an Econ class to see what it is like, take 2020 because it is so much more applicable to the "real world." Coppock's lectures were amazing and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and relatable to real life. He is also incredibly funny. Be warned, however, that his tests are a lot harder than lecture may seem because he expects you to apply what you know. I had the lecture notes memorized and still didn't do that well on the second test. The second test was probably the hardest test. The final was all multiple choice and took me almost the whole two hours to do it. Unlike other professors who never show up to their own finals, Coppock walks around to each room with his son which was the highlight of my final experience.

My TA was SO knowledgeable he had a hard time bringing it down to a lesser level, but was helpful because he made up his own practice tests and was good at explaining Coppock's released practice tests.
