One of my favorite classes I've taken at UVa with one of the best lecturers at UVa. No matter what your major is, you should take this class with Coppock. It was practical, straight-forward, and interesting - even the textbook. I thought it was a pretty easy A; all I had to do was read the book (which was very well-written and easy to do to) and studied for a couple hours the night before the tests. Despite it not being that difficult, I learned a ton and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Good course with a good professor. He can come off as a bit of a jerk at times but he has to have policies to manage a class this big.
I've never taken micro, but I still got an A in the class. Coppock is a great lecturer. He speaks slowly enough for you to easily grasp the material, but is still very entertaining. Definitely take this class with him. Also, you don't have to do the reading before every class but make sure you at least get it done before each test. I would usually do it the weekend before each test so that it would be fresh in my mind.
I read the textbook every week before lecture (he wrote the textbook), and I was still interested and attentive during class. Professor Coppock is very funny and engaging, and is great at explaining things. He is an amazing professor, and I'm so glad I took this course with him.
I really enjoyed the way Coppock taught this class. I didn't take micro before but still found in approachable and interesting. Coppock is friendly and funny, and only occasionally comes off as cocky. He seems to genuinely try and succeeds at making the lectures interesting. The material builds naturally and it's simple to see the progression. Especially if you have a good TA (Jeff is great) then it'll be a great experience
He was super engaging and very helpful for learning the concepts.
This class is very straight-forward and fun. It's not an over commitment and you just need to keep up with the reading to do well. Coppock tries to keep his lectures interesting and engaging. Not a a lot of work outside of class if you keep up with the current material. Always have the option to dutch knockout at the end of the semester if need be!
Great Professor, great lecture and book and a very interesting class. Would definitely recommend this class.
One of the best professors that I have had at UVA, great lecturer. Even as a student who has never taken an econ class in her life, Coppock made the class content enjoyable and easy to learn!
Coppock was one of the best professors I have ever had. I would definitely take his class.
