Steven Pecsok

The course material itself is easy to get through and the weekly homework wasn't too bad. Prof Pecsok's teaching style didn't work for me, the lectures are unorganized and can get very boring. He also cold calls all the time and there's no set schedule for the class, so it's always confusing going into the class no knowing the topic of discussion or whether there is a quiz or not.

The course was a valuable basic microeconomics course that covered more broad topics of economics and also had you doing weekly homework sets where some math was involved and there was a lot of conceptualization. The homeworks were very important and helpful. Professor Pecsok was a nice person, however when it came to the material during class lectures, he tended to be unengaging and disorganized. I also didn't like that he would constantly cold call. Overall the class was okay, but I would only take it to fill a requirement.

He's an amazing person. He is very welcoming and he actually likes to talk about economics with students with real world examples. Homework once a week,, not extremely hard or anything. If you work hard, you're gonna learn so much about microeconomics!! It's a fantastic course. Several things that I learned so much about from this course is how market structure influence price, what adverse selection leads to, the fact that who pays the taxes is different from who actually bears the burden, why free trade benefits the society, and so many other things. I will warn that he sometimes go through important and complicated concepts with poor explanation, so you will need to read textbook even though if they're not assigned. Yet, he's funny and make sure everyone participates. He wants to give you good grade, so he gives you extra points in so many different ways even if you're not good at economics and can't speak in the class
