Reviews of professor Sourik Banerjee

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Sourik was super chill. Lectures were kind of boring, but sometimes he switched it up and started talking about other interesting, irrelevant topics, which was nice. Tests were pretty hard so make sure to study a few days in advance. Also, get ready to learn literally every single detail about bonds because that is 80% of this class.

Hes a cool guy. A very poor teacher and hard and inconsistent grader. Grades based on if he likes you or not. Will take 40% off an assignment for 1 wrong part on 1 question. Hard exams without formula sheets that he's grades same way.

He was very passionate about the subject. sometimes this worked against him though because he will start to talk faster and through a thicker accent so you may lose him. He will go back if you say you don't understand something which is nice. He is strict on his late work policy.

As a non-economics major, this class was very tough. He expects everyone in the class to know a lot about economics, which I did not. I was required to take a 300/400 level economics class and this one was very hard. Sourik is very enthusiastic about the topic but interrupts students mid-sentence and doesn't always listen to student's concerns.

Sourik is still new to teaching since he's still a grad student, so take that into consideration. Most important way to get a leg up in his class is to go back and study Econ 103 material because he assumes that you already understand that. A lot of his Econ 303 class is deriving various equations, so if you're not good at algebra you'll struggle.
