Great class for anyone interested in IO as a branch of microeconomics. Professor Mills' lectures are dull sometimes but always very informative. You will be able to see so many connections between economic theories and the real business world out there.
Professor Mills is always an excellent professor. He can be a bit dry at times like others have mentioned, but he is always well-prepared for lectures and he does a great job explaining potentially confusing topics. His homeworks are very well-designed and are crucial for your understanding of the material that he goes over in lectures. Professor Mills also posts online exercises which are super helpful. There is a group project at the end of the course which is really fun to work on as a team and helps you learn a lot more about the applications of Industrial Organization, Antitrust Law, Merger Litigation, Net-Neutrality, etc. Not an easy class per-se, but if you are willing to actually learn and appreciate the material, this can be a great class. Would definitely recommend.
Mills is a good professor. He'll help you out a ton if you show interest
hard class, but you learn a lot.
Mills knows his stuff. Lectures can get a little dry, but they're rarely over your head, and if they are then he welcomes questions. Homework is actually pretty good preparation for the exams.
This class is fairly easy if you go and take notes. There were 3 noncumulative tests and 6 homework assignments. The homework was done in groups of 4 and the test questions were very similar to the homework.
This is not the most flashy class, and Mills isn't the most enthusiastic professor, but the information is important and interesting, and he's very knowledgeable on his topic. You can trip him up easily with questions during his pre-planned lectures, but uninterrupted, his flow of information is logical and clear. Also, it's not difficult at all if you keep up.
Wonderful course that applies econ to the business world. Mills is a first-rate professor due to his enthusiasm, his knowledge of the subject and the fact that he cares about his students. I learned more useful econ in this course than in almost any other course i have taken. Mills is also great about answering questions in class.
