Prof. Munroe is an extremely enthusiastic professor with his way of teaching. We didn't have a textbook and relied mostly on his slides and course notes, while those were much more accessible compared to the majority of econ textbooks, he was still in the process of writing them back in the day, so sometimes information was incomplete. He is a good lecturer and was breaking down the information into very digestible pieces, as well as provided a bunch of examples how the information could be used, but the lectures are extremely faced paced and require to really pay attention in class. Exams are on the more difficult side, he would always introduce problems that would take a step beyond in-class things and problem sets. There was on average about one problem set per week, and they took quite a bit of time to complete. Generally a great course to start your econ journey, but it is pretty demanding.

The course was overall a decent experience. The material was generally engaging and provided a solid introduction to the subject, and the structure made it manageable to keep up with assignments. Some parts were tedious on the blackboard but the discussions and activities helped reinforce key ideas. I appreciated the effort put into the class and feel like I want to take more economics courses after this.

I really enjoyed this class. Munro is an awesome guy and he is clearly very passionate about the subject! This is clear in the way he approaches the classes. The lectures are designed to be engaging and also informative. There are a few midterms and a final, but if you keep up with the new content and understand what you are learning, you are adequately prepared for these. Furthermore, he is very welcoming when it comes to office hours, so if you don’t get anything I would recommend going to these. You get homework once a week and it’s written in a style that tests your understanding of the content just learned, and there is plenty of time to complete this as well.
