Fall 2022 - Worst class I’ve taken at UCLA, not even close. Bigio Luks was a horrendous lecturer. I learned absolutely nothing from his lectures. so many times he just popped an equation with 10 variables on the screen, stared at it, and realized he can’t explain it so he just goes “you can check the textbook to figure it out”. He tried to hide his terrible teaching with a decent grade distribution, but in terms of how much I learned in the class I deserved to fail. If u care abt learning economics, do not take 102 with Bigio Luks, try to get anyone else. If u don’t care and just want to get the class over with, be prepared to be carry an underlying sense of frustration and existential dread everyday for the quarter because you will live with the anxiety of wasting your college degree on such a useless class.

Spring 2022 - Took him for 102, he is the absolute worst, most horrible, difficult, unrealistic, and unfair professor I’ve ever had. Cant emphasize this enough- do not, I mean, DO NOT, take this class. You will be crying, going to every single TA’s office hours panicking, and have all your hairs go white. I have been in a constant state of anxiousness for the last 10 weeks, awaiting for the moment I can give this man the worst review I could. He’s a bad lecturer, gives the most unfair HW ever (assumes everyone knows excel at an advanced level), grades homework on accuracy, and is the most condescending, useless professor. He never answered any of my emails, and leaves the TA’s to care to the students he could care less about. In office hours, the TA’s would have to dedicate time to even try to ANSWER THE QUESTION. That’s right, PHD level Economics students couldn’t even intuitively answer the questions he gave us. I could go on for hours about how the only way this man could be of use to UCLA students is by retiring. I hope that one day he reads this review, so he knows how much I personally loathe him. Thank you for absolutely nothing Saki!
