Reviews of professor Michael Collins

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Mr. Collins is a nice man- but his class is tough!! Your whole grade depends on the midterm and final. The daily quizzes don't do much to your grade. Class is just powerpoints, lots of learning on your own. He is clearly knowledgeable in the area, but does not do a good job explaining it.. He is always willing to help-- ask if you need it!!

Nearly everything he talks about in class comes from the textbook so you hardly need to read the thing. Collins is a really friendly guy, having conversations during the break and answering any questions you have is his thing. For my class, we had homework every other week, which was just a 250-500 word response, with tests every other week.

DONT TAKE!. He is an engineer and a physicist by trade. Doesn't teach, just says that a topic will be useful in later chapters but never actually explains concept. Doesn't explain anything, uses ambiguous terms. Rude and arrogant. Gave out a quiz: "these questions are from the book, not your book, but a book". Am only passing class bc i had econ b4

Terrible class. He will not teach you information that is necessary. He explains the course material but will not go in depth with it and give you tests regardless of teaching absolutely nothing. There are serious flaws to his teaching. As someone who has never taken econ, I am reluctant to try again. I have not learned at all because of him.
