Very interesting class! And the lectures and textbook are always direct reflection of the tests. PS: got textbook for free as Coppock sent textbook files directly to collab~

Professor Coppock's class was much harder than I expected. If you have enough time to do the reading well, then take this class. If you are an upper classman in the e-school, and are likely to slack off like I did, I wouldn't take it.

The final was a history test not an economics test. Very disappointed in the class. Not a great professor.

Awesome class. Funny guy. Lectures were interesting and enjoyable to go to. He gets all of the exam questions from his lectures. Go and take good notes.

I enjoyed the lectures, and the material isn't that challenging. Make sure to stay on top of it though, as the tests can be a bit difficult.

Paying attention in lecture was easy with Coppock. His engaging style made me want to go to class and listen.

Coppock is great - little more difficult than Elzinga but another good experience with econ principles.

Coppock is awesome, he really cares about the subject and the lecture hour just flies by. The class is really not too difficult if you take comprehensive lecture notes, the book is more of a supplement to the lectures.
