No books, all based on class notes which no one really understands. Midterm and Final are the only two grades and both were take home yet it takes groups of people to figure out what notes to copy for the right answer. He says he'll "figure out what grades to give out at the end" which leaves most students baffled at how they received the grade they did. No rhyme or reason to his grading. Guy is a racist lunatic.

This class is so fun, easy, and educational. Mirman has a unique teaching style. He constantly repeats material so it is drilled in your head and teaches it to our level. You should definitely take his class (even easier than his ECON201).
