Awful TA graders, tests usually not highly correlated w/ lectures

There isn't actually a discussion, which is great. Lectures aren't that entertaining, but Burton is a really great guy who knows what he's talking about. Tests are based almost entirely on the readings, do them and you'll be fine. The material is interesting if you're into financial theory....if you're not, you'll probably find this class a bit of a bore.

Very interesting class that explores behavioral economic theories that are fairly new or still being developed and tested. Easy enough class if you just read and understand the basics of the articles he tells you to read. Only annoying thing is that his lectures sometimes repeat themselves, or he goes on hour-long tangents about stuff that won't be tested or is even relevant to the course; but it's still useful info since it's usually about the current economy.

Really easy class. As long as you understand the articles you can ace the tests. If you go to class you don't actually need to read, or you can skip class and just skim the articles.
