ECON 3720

It is understandable that the material taught in this class is very technical. However, it is very useful out there in the real world and Professor Reshef did a nice job explaining the material. Treat the textbook as a supplement to his lecture notes. It helps to have come to the lectures having read the material for that day. That way you will not get lost when he goes over those complicated models. Although there were not many examples, Mr. Reshef made an earnest effort in ensuring that his students left with a good theoretical understanding of the material. His tests were heavily theoretical, although you could end up doing well on them if you reviewed your lecture notes. The professor is also very lenient and he is a nice guy. The class structure was well organized and you could print out the notes that he prepares for each topic. This is a class where you have to put in the effort to do well.

He is a very smart guy, and I don't agree with the person saying he doesn't explain much. I very much enjoy his lectures. Mid term was hard but the materials are very useful.

Just blazes through material: he'll ask if anybody understands, but when he gets negative answers, he'll just continue with the material. I don't understand why he bothers asking. Furthermore, he doesn't give a lot of examples and instead keeps saying "we have to get to the fun stuff" so we don't have time. Yet he gives us ridiculous proofs that aren't really required and we never got to the 'fun' stuff.
