Will Pyle

Professor Pyle is the most modest yet knowledgeable guy I've ever seen. He enjoys his teaching and is very responsible of his job. Readings would tell you most of the content(it's not much), and Prof. Pyle would discuss the most important points in class. We have homework sets every two weeks that take a bit time, but if you go to office hours and special q&a sessions that Pyle held before exams and homework dues, you'll be very fine. And if you work hard on homework, you'll be very fine at exams as well. He has a flexible grading system that you could drop your lowest score. He also cares about students and invites us for lunch with him individually, never getting impatient with us when we ask questions. I entered this class with a super bad AP score in microecon and did very well at the end of class. Would highly recommend it!

I took this course in Fall 2025. This course was difficult but would have been easier if I studied harder. Pyle is very passionate but lectures can sometimes go off topic. Problem sets are long and difficult, but there are only 4 problem sets throughout the whole semester. There are 2 debates, which are a lot of fun. That was probably my favorite part of the class.

This course was more difficult than I anticipated it being (especially haven taken economics classes in high school). Nevertheless, work and exams were very manageable and definitely not impossible. Problem sets and exams could be tricky, but Pyle gives many opportunities to ask questions through office hours or Zoom reviews.
