Great professor! One of my favorites here at UVA. His lectures are really easy to follow. The midterms are easy if you study and understand the concepts. The final is a bit difficult, but is curved. Definitely recommend this class

If you take 202, take it with Coppock. This is the best class I've taken at UVa. I enjoyed going to class and learned a lot!
Coppock isnt as good as Elzinga but hes still pretty goot. The midterms were pretty easy but the final was really tough.
The final is lethal.
This was one of the more interesting classes I've taken so far and the exams were a breeze. I expected the same on the final and quickly found out that it didn't work that way. The final is very difficult and deserves a lot more studying than the normal exams. Great class overall though.
Fun class. Coppock is easy to listen to and makes lecture enjoyable and worth going to. It is very easy to get a good grade in this class. Be prepared for the final though. It is not at all easy. The final is a lot different than the two other tests given. However, don't listen to these other people, I did better on the final than my other two tests.
Coppock's lectures are interesting and he makes the information easy to understand. We had quizzes in discussion to help you stay on top of material and midterms weren't bad at all. However, he does the dutch knock-out, just like Elzinga, and his final can destroy your grade. Great class though - just be prepared for the final.
Nikhil is a great TA. He didn't just reiterate what was said in the lecture, instead picking out topics that weren't explained in as much detail as they could have been and walking the section through them. He's approachable and can answer a question.
midterms are straight forward short answer
final is whack--hard multiple choice
Much better class than ECON 201. Coppock is a great lecturer and explains concepts very well.
