Fairly hard class with two problem sets each week. The exams were challenging, but there was a curve applied. The lectures were detailed, and the professor was approachable during office hours, which helped clarify tough concepts. Overall, a rigorous course but manageable with consistent effort

I would like to preface this description by saying that I received an A in the class, but cannot recall a single aspect of it. I truly could not stand this guy, the way he treated the course, and his students. We all know we don't hold PhDs in Economics, why does he act as if we are idiots because we don't? He lacks social skills, empathy, and a willingness to actually teach.

Taking this course with Professor Rao is definitely tough. He grades with a points system so you know exactly where you stand throughout the year, but the issue is that there is an endless amount of homework that lasts all semester long and the exams are also super tough
