I actually thought he was a really good lecture. We didn't cover as much as we probably could have but still looking over my lecture notes we covered a good amount of stuff decently in depth. Also I don't know if you've heard already just through the econ department grapevine, but if Kyle Woodward is ever offered as a TA for any of your classes get him. No seriously he was so helpful he had to get a bigger room because so many people were showing up to section. The real problem with this class is that he didn't really test on what he taught. HOWEVER, he posts practice tests online which are basically what's on the tests. We only had one midterm unlike the people below. 14 questions but your grade was out of 12. Final was 35 questions but only 30 counted and one was a freebie. 13.5% available as additional extra credit outside of tests. So no curve but a ridiculous amount of extra credit to raise your grade if you need it. I did none of the extra credit homework but did show up to all the lectures that were extra credit and got 4% just from that. My first (and probably last) A+ in college.

Copic....where to start. He was entertaining if nothing else, pretty disjointed lectures and lecture notes, but that still ended up somehow relevant to game theory. Some random extra credit thrown in. Tests that exactly mirrored the questions given in class. His energetic attitude and random nature leave you with a whirlwind feeling wondering what just happened after finishing the class, but his class is almost certainly easier and more fun than the other 101 teachers out there. I'd say take it, just be prepared for a weird ride.

I took Econ 101 with Copic. He is a nice person, but not a good professor. His lectures are unorganized, confusing, and boring. I basically learned everything in my discussions. The midterm and final multiple choices are similar to the practice exams, but they are still difficult. I scored way below average on the midterm and slightly above average on the final and ended up a B+, which is good enough for me.
