Easy class, great professor, chill exams, tons of bonus points, if you don't get an A you probably trolling. Pretty theoretical but enjoyable if you like that part of econ models.

Marc is nice as always -- the course contains 2 midterms and a cumulative final, however he would give us practice problems to solve. I would highly recommend take this class with someone you know so that you could work on the practice probs together. Most questions on the exams are either the same practice problems or new version of the quizzes he handed out after each class. The class is somewhat heavy on calc, but no need to worry too much. He also curve pretty well.

Professor Santugini is incredible: knowledgeable, considerate and helpful. This class is challenging but manageable if you go to class and really pay attention to the material. It is also probably not as difficult as some of the other 4000 level ECON courses. He is more than willing to schedule office hours at really any point, weekday or weekend, morning or evening.

Loved loved loved this professor! This class is more calculus than I was expecting, but definitely worthwhile. The final grade is comprised of: 20% attendance, 40% in-class midterm/take-home midterm, and 40% final. The material he teaches is harder than what he tests you on, but he's very fair with grading. Since there's no textbook, you can't miss class or you'll fall behind. I would recommend this class for an ECON elective!
