While a lot of the concepts in this class appeared simple, it could take some time to wrap your head around them. The material is a little more abstract than other econ classes I've taken, but reasonable if you go through the problem sets. The tests are fine as long as you review the homeworks.

Professor Gong is the perfect professor for econ stats. I took an incredible amount of transferrable value from every class and I actually use what I learned in this class for research in other classes, after just one semester. Professor Gong was very clear and the work was manageable, though overwhelming at times. Though the class was very hard, it was incredibly rewarding. The course concluded with a research project that involved a paper and analysis using Stata. I loved practically applying what I learned in the course and Professor Gong was very available to support students. He uses Slack instead of email to communicate and responds very readily to help students with homework and projects.

Gong was extremely knowledge and made the lectures very interesting. We covered a good amount of material so the class was very face-paced. There were 2 midterm exams a ten page research paper and final exam which were all difficult, but if you pay attention in class and study a decent amount you’re good
