So bad. Thick accent and unclear

This guy is nice, but his test aren’t test. If you want to pass his class all you need to do is memorize the problems on his problemsets and past finals/midterms. He copy and paste questions word for word. The numbers are identical as are the answers. The class doesn’t reward you for learning the material and understanding the moving parts, instead your grade depends on how much time you spend doing the same problem and memorizing the exact process.

Geerolf revamped his class to make it less empirical and more conceptual, which was rather unfortunate. When he started, he lectured off of these slides that had a bazillion words each, making it extremely hard to follow. However, towards the end, he switched to lecturing on the board, which was significantly easier to follow along. Overall, his lectures were a bit unstructured / disorganized since it was his first time teaching his restructured class. He didn't really tell us much about the exams or what to expect. The multiple choice tested a lot of bizarre details (e.g. GDP per capita in the US, what percentage of the world's GDP is from the US) that were technically on the slides that he posted online, but that no one remembers. However, the material in the free response was covered in the recommended practice problems, and it's entirely possible to do well in the class without reading the textbook--the slides and problems are sufficient. He may be less disorganized when he teaches the course again in the future.

professor geerolf is so nice and kind!! he responds to almost all questions on ccle and v tolerant to stupid questions.

but the class itself is kind of hard if you dont like interest rates, inflation rate, etc. a lot of info to process in 10 weeks!!
