Reviews of professor William Thorne

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a good professor and he explains things really well. He made the boring subject interesting and easy to understand. The class itself is not easy though. Lots of homework and hard tests from the department. Im glad I took it this professor though.

Be prepared to teach yourself. Took this class in the summer and I regret WASTING MY TIME with such a boring professor. You will definitely sleep in class with his monotone voice. Macro is not even a hard subject but he made the class mad intimidating. Macro is kind of an important class as a business major & now I feel so lost ;-;

I was ready to give a bad review. I really thought I was getting a C+ but I received an A. I got an 80 on midterm & 74 on final so... it's pretty easy. This professor really believes in curves. His lectures are long and heavy. Most test questions are from the online quizzes. Grade is made up of 30% midterm, 30% quizzes, and 40% final. Recommend!

Monotone. Amazing Curves (but that's cause he can't teach so everyone ends failing the midterm and final). You have to teach yourself and you're gonna fall asleep in class cause he's half asleep. Don't get the textbook cause he provides the slides on blackboard

Pro: Just do your part and youll receive an A. Attendance is not mandatory, which is nice, although the lectures are not bad. He really takes his time to explain the material. Curves. Con: The instructor may just ignore your emails or take a week to respond. Very poor exam reviews. And for my final, he may direct class incorrectly.

Great prof. Really cares about students. Wants the class to be manageable, relevant and interesting for all. Super clear about assignments and reviews before every quiz. Would take again and definitely recommend to all.

He is just plain terrible at teaching. He made his students DO HIS JOB. We had to create and present slides for each chapter followed by 30+ short response homework assignment, 3-5 page econ paper, topped off by a final, all due at the same time. He even made his students grade each other's papers. If you try to reach out via email, WONT RESPOND!

He is a new professor in the Economics department. Very knowledgeable of the subject and knows how to teach. Exam questions were similar to his homeworks. He does a review before each exam and tells you what questions will be on the exam. The best economics professor here in Baruch, easy A
