Course: Econ 106V

With doctoral degrees in statistics and astrophysics, Dr. Rojas brings in an interesting perspective to investments. What I liked about the class was that he was concerned about student learning and he tried his best to stay at a pace that wouldn't result in students falling behind.

The class is structured mostly around PPT slides, which he posts online. These provide a decent framework to start with. Because the assigned textbook is difficult to navigate through (it's a free online version that has lots of hiccups), I'd recommend buying something more substantial. You have to really know the material inside and out to do well; the test problems will be much more sophisticated than the problems in the slides.

With regards to the lab sections, just try your best. I think your best bet is to figure them out with your team and not depend entirely on the TAs. These labs helped me improve my Excel skills and added some value to the course.

economics 41, not statistics

I had to switch out. This guy was pretty bad, and the textbook is even worse. Rarely available and hardly ever in his office, grades are on a harsh curve and can drop your primary score if you're trying to get into a certain major. I would wait till Hahn teaches this course.
