Paul Sommers

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!

Exams are not take-home anymore but they're even easier now that they're in-class. If you show up and complete the homework everyday, you'll do well. Make sure to put in effort on the daily assignments as they count for 15% of the class and graders can be harsh. Sommers also tends to give heavy hints on the types of questions that the exams will include.
