Steven Pecsok

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

Prof. Pecsok is an amazing Econ professor. He is very passionate about what he teaches, however is an incredibly harsh grader. His exams are insanely hard and he grades like you stole his puppy or something. If you go to his office hours he will absolutely help you, but actual grading is harsh.

Although sometimes he explains simple concepts in unnecessarily complex ways, he is still a pretty solid teacher. His grading is a bit harsh and confusing sometimes. but overall good teacher for intro to micro
