Will Pyle

Professor Pyle is an extremely passionate teacher who brings energy to each class. While relatively dense, he tries to break up his lectures with humor and entertaining commentary. His expectations are very clear, and if you do the homework and readings you will do well on the tests. He also offers corrections on the test which is a hugely important opportunity for an introductory economics class. Relative to other classes, he teaches the conceptual side of micro more than the graph-heavy material one would expect, which makes for a much easier course I found. His teaching style makes it easy to understand and he was always available to help whether during office hours or a one-on-one meeting. I would 100% recommend him to a student interested in taking an economics class but who is concerned about not having enough prior experience.

This class is definiteley best with Pyle although he does assign lots of reading. Besides the heavy reading he is very fair in the way that he determines your final grade. He also allowed you to earn points back on every exam.

Pyle is obviously very passionate about economics. Although he can sometimes go off on irrelevant tangents during lectures, he still generally gets the job done in terms of reviewing concepts. Understanding the readings is more important, and the tests/homework are mostly about whether you have a grasp on those concepts or not.
