Steven Pecsok

Professor Pecsok is a great guy. He is super understanding and lenient with grading, but I would not recommend his Microeconomics class to even my worst enemy. His teaching style is all over the place -- he tends to go off-topic (telling jokes, giving niche history lessons, etc.), move through important lessons SUPER quickly, wait to post required homework assignments, etc.-- and it is extremely frustrating to have to keep up with. Expect to read the textbook outside of class and attend office hours a few times (if not more) in order to grasp the lessons. The tests always caught me off guard, with questions worded trickily, specific topics becoming important questions when they were never discussed in-depth during class... Overall, I left this class disappointed. I certainly learned something, and Pecsok is a wonderful man, but I have never worked so hard and STILL performed poorly in a course. I suggest looking into the other professors before signing up for Pecsok's class.

Pecsok is funny to have in class but his teaching style is confusing and sometimes unorganized. He does not explain concepts well and often rushes over important information because he is running out of time. I went to his office hours almost every week for homework and is still confused about some concepts.

The class can be a little challenging especially if you haven't taken econ before, but going to professor pecsok's office hours helps a lot and he's a really fair grader who gives lots of extra credit.
