Bullsh*t class. No syllabus or book or readings. No homework or problem sets. I didn't go to class for the entirety of the last two months of the semester and I got an A- (and I'm not one of those super brilliant kids who just know things or whatever). Stopped going to class because he LITERALLY SAYS NOTHING THE ENTIRE CLASS TIME. Just fumbles around making fun of the students (which is funny for 0.01 seconds) and repeating the words "uncertainty" and "information" over and over again. Don't take this because you want to learn anything, because you won't. Tbh, this guy shouldn't have a job here. I guess you could call it an easy A, but I have no idea how it got there so I don't even know.

Professor Mirman is the literal man. Try not to be scared off in the beginning of the year and stick it through to the meat of the class. He's incredibly informative, and if you're interested in more academic Economics this class is great. Mirman is his own guy, go to class and pay attention and you should do well. Pick good teams to work with!

Mirman is brilliant but also a complete goof. He wants class interaction and isn't afraid to call someone out or pick on someone to get it. He really just wants people to be interested and pay attention - he basically created the economics of uncertainty field. Class is confusing, and the subject is definitely something you have to pay attention to and then sit and think about for a bit before you get it. Grades are only a (collaborative, open book and note take home) midterm and final, and attendance isn't graded but he notices if you aren't there - he asked me if i was a fourth year and if that's why I never came to class. #tcf2016

I really do not recommend this class. The information is super difficult and everyone knows it. Everyone is guaranteed an A or B but the difference in the amount of work is worlds apart. Do no work and get a B, or go to class every single day and pay intense attention and struggle to get an A. I do not recommend.

No syllabus. No schedule. No policies whatsoever. Good, right? Eh, not so much. You will learn absolutely nothing in this class and do no work until the midterm and final (the only grades). These tests are painfully difficult, but curved so you get either an A or a B. Mirman is hilarious, completely bonkers, and knows that no one in the class is actually trying, and he himself isn't trying either. If you need an extra econ class for the major/minor, then by all means take this, but don't expect to get anything out of it at all.

Wonderful course. Really interesting subject matter for those interested in micro theory. Mirman is not for everyone; he doesn't have a lot of patience if you're not passionate about the subject.

Easy and hard--I am pretty sure less than 10 percent people in the class know what is going on. I got an A+ more because I talk back TOO MUCH--a great deal of the class is the professor picking on students, and I always talk back so he remembered my face =P The content is pretty interesting and is graduate level however he cares less about whether you learn the materials(I doubt if he cares about anything..) but rather if you read his papers--if you look him up, he has published more papers than any other professor in UVA in the past 40 years. He also claims that he changed the foundation of microeconomics in his day.

hard class.. take home tests, so they are not very hard.. i recommend it

Easy class. Hard material, no textbook, easy A

Mirman was a very passionate professor. The materials were extremely hard, however you will learn so much from this class. There are 1 midterm and one final. Be sure to go to every class and take really good notes.
