This class was incredibly boring and very very hard. You're expected to memorize basically books full of information. He seems like a nice enough guy, but this is definitely the hardest class I've taken while at the University, and the only B I've gotten to date.

Although it is very hard to get an A in this class, a B is definitely doable. Professor Thomas is brilliant and his lectures rarely get boring. It shows application of economics, which I think is just as important than theory. Definitely take this class, but don't expect a stellar grade.

If you're really interested in the subject, then you will really like this class, if not you will probably be really bored. His tests are all essay, and he is a pretty reasonable grader. Do the reading from the course packet because many of the discussion questions reference it explicitly. Not my favorite class, but not too bad either.

The class is very interesting that the professor tries hard to make the subject alive, even though it's economic history~ It is very hard to get an A in the class since the average of every tests is only a B or B-. Reading is essential and exams are hard.

He is a great lecturer, but exams are hard. There might be no curve. If you are looking for A's, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS

MT has a British accent, which makes everything he says more interesting. The reading can be dry, but for the subject material he does a great job making it interesting and accessible.

Great Professor. There is so much material, but you learn so much too.

This class was pretty hard.

Great professor, but the textbook is terrible and somewhat boring. The textbook material is very basic and doesn't coincide with the lectures very often. It doesn't contribute much to the lectures. Test questions, however, are very nit-picky so you have to have read the material in order to ID things correctly.

Those were always the longest 50 minutes of my life, even when I was writing fast. I hated expounding on minutiae, like, "and in this year the growth rate was 4% but the following year it was 4.2%, etc." and I hate analyzing the analysis of someone's analysis of something, which is what it was all about.
