Professor Sommers is the sweetest man alive and does an amazing job of explaining the topics. He has office hours almost every day, and encourages us to go to the TA as well. His exams are very doable as long as you pay attention in the lectures. I didn't go into office hours at all because tbh I didn't have any real questions, and honestly I think he held it against me. So just go in at least a few times just to chat if anything

Sommers knows a lot about what he teaches. He speaks slowly, and his teaching style is rather old school, but the content of the course is easy to follow. There is a homework assignment every night and I would recommend going to TA hours for some extra help, especially if the material is confusing in class. If you choose to go to office hours, he will not try to explain the material in a different way, and will just expect that you understand it his way. A very nice man and person though!

Professor Sommers is a very nice guy who is clearly passionate about what he teaches. His exams are not take home anymore, but they are still fairly easy. He does a good job explaining the fundamental concepts of microeconomics necessary to move forward with an Econ major. The only downside that I found with his class were the daily problem sets, and the graders were rather harsh. Other than that, his class was a great experience!
