ECON 2010

Elzinga is amazing.

Elzinga is a fantastic lecturer. However, its not always easy to get an A because the Final takes up so much.

Straightforward material. If you aren't someone who naturally understands it than memorize it, and eventually it will come to you.

A great class for those who want to learn how economic principles shape the way people make decisions. Go to his office hours even if you're not having problems in the course--or even if you're no longer taking his course--because he is the most outgoing and helpful professor at UVA.

Very nice professor during office hours, but I personally didn't find his lectures engaging. Everybody raves about Elzinga, and I will admit that he is distinguished in his field. However, at the same time, that does not make him infallible, and I really don't feel like he added much to the material in his discussions. I did enjoy his humor, however.

Great class, Elzinga makes even the more boring topics interesting and gives good advice, even some not related to economics. As long as you go to lecture, you don't need to do the reading, I didnt do any and still got an A minus. I definitely recommend this class if you are even the slightest bit interested in econ.

What a fantastic teacher. Professor Elzinga knows what he's talking about, and more importantly, knows how to pass on the knowledge to the students. Many times, you find brilliant men/women teaching ineffectively, but Elzinga has it all. Definitely take the class!

Typical introductory economics class. Not very difficult; basically a semester long on supply and demand; Elzinga is more of a philosopher than an economist in this class.. he tells you how to get rich, what beers are popular, and why the Comm School is not as cool as the Economics Dept. And he makes fun of first years, which is hilarious.

Very worthwhile, but not as mind-blowingly amazing as I was expecting.

just a good class to take that is not that hard
