Winter 2025 - Professor Sadzik teaches the class in an engaging way and provides several examples in each lecture. The examples he gives in lectures tend to be complicated and challenging though. The problem sets also tend to have challenging questions but the TA provided notes and guides on how to solve them. The midterm was easier than the final and because of that, the class was curved. Taking the midterm is encouraged. For the midterm and final, he provided prep guides that have similar problems (with variations). In addition, ECON 106GL has a group project where you present a “game” to a panel of UCLA alumni. The grade for 106G and 106GL is separate where 106G is based on exams and problem sets, while 106GL is based solely on the project. Overall, the professor is passionate about game theory, is caring to the students, and if you show effort to the class, you should be fine. Take this class if you need to satisfy upper-division econ elective.

Spring 2020 - There are two parts of this lab. Lab lecture and the group project. The lab lecture is Sadzik talking about applications to what you learned in class. I enjoyed this part because it supplemented what we were learning very well. The main part of the lab is a group project called "Econ in Action" which is essentially creating a game using your knowledge in game theory and explaining the theory and your findings behind the game, which is 100% of your grade. It was an easy A to say the least and as long as you're proactive with you project, it isn't much work at all. The TAs are there to help guide you to make sure that your reasoning is not flawed either. Your grade is ultimately determined by the Alumni that you are presenting to but they are super kind and grade easily.
