Reviews of professor Fassil Fanta

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Extremely hands off professor.  Barely uploads anything outside of weekly outline and text chapters to read.  May or may not drop exam prep videos. There's discussion questions weekly and larger writing assignments on top every couple weeks. I've got nothing but 100's on writings, but I think if he's just a lax reviewer.  Tests are easy if you read

He was pretty great. Responsive, weekly discussions. He does a recap video in addition to the chapter lectures. If you do nothing in that class you'll still make out with a decent grade if you just watch the exam reviews before taking your test. He's smart, and lectures are informative

Lots of busywork. 3 papers, plus weekly discussion questions (which are essentially APA papers) and weekly exams. Most "lectures" were videos you can find on youtube and econlowdown. Seems to just recycle the same old stuff term after term. He does provide a "review" video to go with the study guide that has most of the test answers.

This was a good class with good material.  Do what he says and you will enjoy the class.  Learned a bunch.

Easy A if you use the rubric for papers and study the weekly test guides he gives you. Weekly discussions & exams along with 3, 5-7 pg papers but overall he's an easy grader. Excellent choice of professor, you will not regret it.

Excellent choice for Econ705 at LSUS. Class is based more on concepts as opposed to math (little to no math in this class!). Expectations were clear for weekly writings (quite a bit of writing) and he's a lenient grader. I would definitely take Fanta again!

Great choice for an Econ class. 3 papers 5-7 pages (just meet the word count), weekly quiz and discussion board, midterm and final. Posts a review video every week that helps a lot. Very easy to get an A if you do the work

This year Dr. Fanta is showing himself as very unprofessional and lacks responsibility with his course. The best way to describe my experience is "extremely inconsistent." Some weeks post materials, other weeks not, and sometimes forgot to open modules Monday morning, and we lost precious time waiting to be open. I will not recommend Dr. Fanta.

I MISSED ONE ASSIGNMENT AND THERE'S MATHEMATICAL WAY TO GET ABOVE A C SO I DROPPED.
