Reviews of professor Matthew Janzen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
cannot teach he cannot even do simple math like multiply. He requests the students "study 3 hours a day for his class", gives hard pop quizzes accordingly. His tests are not his therefore the material is not covered. Told students the final was a regular test, but changed his mind a week out to be comprehensive. Inconsiderate, an amateur at econ

Don't take him. He is very hard and would only take if you die hard need this course. beware and take another class.

However, this class is extremely test based and each test goes up 5-10% in weight (ex: test 1 5%, test 2 10%, test 3 15%, final 20%). He is a great professor and is funny and engaging. He doesn't necessarily tell you how to apply the concepts so a large amount of study time is needed in order to figure out how to work the word and math problems.

This guy can't teach to save his life.

He really cares and does a lot to make sure you pass. When people had trouble learning from his posted material, he held weekly sessions where he went over everything and answered whatever questions. He held help sessions and Q&As very often and explained every question in detail until everybody understood. Difficult class, but awesome professor!

I would only take this class if you absolutely need to.  Even then, see if it is offered by a different professor.  I would rather drop out than take another course taught by Matt Janzen.

I really enjoyed Janzen. When i took him he posted lecture material online so it made it easy to study for his quizzes and exams, but he doesn't always do that. go to review sessions. If you don't understand something, Khan academy can be very helpful. I normally did worse on quizzes than my tests by a good margin. Just study and ask him questions

Made the class harder than it needed to be. I understood the material only in his review sessions
