Professor
Ivan Light
Most Helpful Review
A knowledgable professor, nice man, boring lecturer. Subject matter is quite dry and his monotonous lecturing makes it even worse. Light produced the best syllabus I've ever seen, gave us outline and questions before midterm, and had TA that was a fair grader. There was no hidden agenda; we knew what was expected from us. Unfortunately TA's heavy accent and lack of confidence made discussions unproductive. This class required little homework. Previous knowledge of Marx, Weber, Smith and Ricardo came handy. Prof. Light has an excellent sense of humor which I only got to experience during his office hours. At the end of the course, he freshned up his lecturing style and even envolved us in a role-playing, which was a nice change. I would recommend this professor only if you are very interested in the subject matter.
