Paul Sommers

I took this class a major requirment, and it was just super boring. Prof. Sommers is so nice, but his way of teaching just didn't help concepts stick and the STATA just always seemed like another class entirely. Also, problem sets every class just made the learning feel like busy work. However, all exams are take home, which is really nice

Prof. Sommers was humorous in class. He typically began each day with a recent update in the news or a personal anecdote. The homework assignments were of moderate level, and he gave us extra credit opportunities along with each problem set. The exams were easy though, but be aware that the professor may include some tricky questions.

Professor Pecsok’s class was a lot more fun and interesting than I expected, thanks to his random jokes and unique way of teaching. The pacing can be a bit all over the place, but if you keep up with the textbook and weekly problem sets, you’ll be fine. He’s super approachable and great at helping you figure things out without just giving you the answers. Overall, it’s a solid intro to econ that actually feels useful in real life.
