Winter 2021 - Professor McDevitt is the best lecturer in the Econ department. To be fair, I put in minimal effort in the class due to extenuating circumstances from the COVID-19 pandemic. I didn't watch a single lecture, studied maybe 3 days before each of the 2 exams and final, and somehow managed to get a B. Getting an A is definitely doable if you put in the work to fully understand the material (which I've managed to do in other courses I've taken with him). I find his curve generous, and it only serves to help you. If you're not great at graphs, you'll struggle a bit like I did. You're only graded on the 2 exams (20% and 25%) and 1 final exam (55%).

Summer 2019 - Definitely an essential class for an Econ student. He is very clear in his explanations and he has a lot of experience so definitely recommend. His tests are hard (especially the multiple choice questions) and they stressed me out for sure, but it is definitely a class I’d recommend.

Mcdevitt is great ! he keeps things simple...all the material covered on his midterms and final come straight from his lectures and study questions. The book is useless. There are no tricks on his exams, just study well, study hard and you should be able to pull off a nice grade....This is getting a little too cliche now, but seriously, McDevitt IS the best econ professor this econ department has to offer.
