It's Micro Theory. Most kids find the subject matter boring and it's very obvious in class. It's a lecture style class where Prof. Gindin gives us a packet and we work through it together. However, Prof. Gindin herself is great at teaching. She's very nice and is great at explaining concepts that would otherwise be tricky. If you want to major in Economics she's a great professor to have.

Professor Pecsok is a good person and interesting to chat with. He breaks the course up with interesting “games” or more often surveys of sorts. I felt that sometimes the course content was stressed or emphasized in odd ways. For example, sometimes topics that we weren’t tested on were emphasized. I don’t think this was intentional, but it made studying a bit difficult. The exams were straightforward and related to class content. I didn’t feel that I was asked something that I was not taught at some point or another. The problem sets were not too long, and I would say they were just about the right length. I didn’t feel like I was constantly bombarded with problem sets. Lastly, reading the textbook and understanding it is incredibly important in this class more so than other classes I’ve taken. Overall, if I were to take the course again, I would choose Professor Pecsok without question.

I had a great time in macro with Professor Matthews. What I really appreciated about Professor Matthews and his teaching was his connections to real-world topics. We’d typically assess modern case studies/projects in our “discussion” section, such as the connection between developing economies and climate change/fossil fuel use. Would highly recommend this class with Prof. M.
