Rojas was an extremely helpful professor who really tried to engage with students to make sure they understood before he moved on. While his lectures can drag a bit (I had an 8 am so it was tough staying awake) I definitely recommend going as he explains the subjects very well. There are weekly hw assignments that aren't too bad, and those questions resemble the midterm questions almost exactly. Not a difficult class if you go to lecture and do the textbook readings.

My biggest pet peeve was that he didn't return the midterms thus you never really learned from your mistakes; making studying for the final more challenging. Not very good at replying to email. Overall, a very low demand and boring class. I would took take it again just because of how low the demand is. Rojas is a lecturer not a teacher.

Randall is a complete homie! His exams are directly sourced from the textbook, slides, and homework problems. The practice midterms he gives out are predictive of the midterms, however the final is slightly more difficult.

Be thankful to have the legendary Randall Rojas as a teacher!

Very easy class. Most of the tests have questions directly from homeworks or practice tests. Lectures are pretty boring but he talks directly from the slides which is helpful.

He was my first econ professor, and I would love to take him again! He was very clear, always open to questions, and whenever he explained something, he was sure to not overwhelm anybody. He has weekly homework, but it's 60 questions max. Not hard at all, and I would definitely recommend!

The book for this class is $170 at the textbook store.. I'm selling a few for $40, great condition! Email me *************

Professor Rojas is boring, period. If you know that you will be able to withstand the uninteresting topics he introduces to us, then you're good but if not, good luck.

Although I hated spendimg $180 to buy the textbook for the god damned mindtap code, the textbook was very useful. His homework was fair in difficulty and didn't take too long to do. Midterms weren't too bad but I could see why it would be easy to mess up if you don't do the homework/ don't understand the homework. The problems are very similar. His final was significantly harder than the midterms but they were fair in difficulty.

Honestly, I really liked Rojas, while other people can be indifferent about him. Regardless, he was very fair between homework and tests.
Lectures: All lectures are posted online, so if you miss class or blank out it's easy to make it up. Also, he follows the book very well, so reading the book reassures your understanding. He constantly is asking the class if they have questions, and really encourages it at the time.
Homework: The homework only goes over the chapters we've covered in class, and it's due once a week. 40-60 questions so it takes about 30 min to an hour, but it's only once a week and if you're really stuck you can just go on quizlet and the answers are there. Also, he gives you two tries each week and takes the highest score. For our class, he dropped the lowest score but don't depend on it until he confirms it.
Tests: Two midterms 20% each, final 45%, homework 15%. The first midterm was pretty easy, average in B+ A- range, I got a 100. 25 questions MC, and he posts the previous year to help you practice. 2nd midterm was pertty much the same, averages in the B area, but i got a 100 again. It wasn't harder but more material to go over and people don't work as hard is what he said. The final wasn't harder either and no real equations you had to memorize but more concepts. Some harder questions, 70 questions MC. I got an 89, but the average was 74 or something.
Overall: You can't miss too many questions to get an A in the class, but it's definitely possible. The tests are VERY fair, no curveball or trick questions, and homework questions would sometimes pop into the tests. Everything on tests is on lecture or books, but both pretty much matchup with each other. I recommend just skimming over his lecture slides before going in to class just to be a little bit aware of what you're about to learn, it takes 5-10 minutes the night before. Read the book if you can before doing the homework, but if not don't wait too long to read it. Do the practice questions that come in the book, and you should be more than good. Overall, Rojas wasn't super engaging, and not a great people person, but he was very fair and that's all you can really ask for.
