If you have to take econometrics, take it with Chalak

Definitely take this class with Chalak. He knows his stuff really well, but most importantly, he is really good at answering questions. He goes through a lot of proof-based material, which I'm not sure is necessary, but if you're good at Stats you'll be fine with it. Besides that, he prepares you well for his tests, and he's a smart guy!

Don't take it unless you have to.

This is far and away the best professor for this class. I know many people who have take the class with other professors, and they had horrible experiences. This class is mostly proof based and has little to do with STATA. So if you aren't interested in learning advanced computing software this is the class for you. The only hard part is that the exams are really heavily weighted-- the first midterm is 37.5% and the final is 42.25% of your grade.
