Reviews of professor John Dougherty

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's a great lecturer, allows plenty of student input for examples to demonstrate concepts. Occasional economic games are fun and engaging. Be sure to write everything down, especially the examples, you'll need to know them to succeed on the tests and homework. Lots of material to go over, so get ready to study

Dougherty is a great teacher super energetic and clearly excited to be teaching every day. He knows his stuff and is great at breaking it down and giving examples, especially for students who have not taken econ before. Always available for office hours and it really helps if you go to them for any extra questions. Pay attention & you'll do great.

I have had Professor Dougherty for micro, intermediate micro and  behavioral econ. Grading is pretty straight forward, some homeworks throughout semester, 2 tests and a final. Professor Dougherty is my favorite professor at Loyola. Very engaging and passionate about econ and our class discussions are meaningful and informative.

This is an online course in which he never responds to emails. His syllabus for his assignments say 200 words maximum, but then he will give you a c because "it lacks details". He is a hard grader, and his comments on your work are rude and nasty. Would not recommend to anyone.

prof Dougherty is genuinely one of the best professors i've had. his classes are so laid back and he makes everything easy to grasp. his teaching style is encouraging and he is always really receptive of questions and answers them clearly. could not recommend him more

had him for business stats. he was great. it can be a tough class but he does his best to make it understandable. cares about everyone and willing to give extensions and meet with you. purposely selected him as professor for my next econ class and excited to have him.
