Reviews of professor Avraham Baranes

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Taking principles of econ with him this semester made me consider switching to another major. Very smart and knowledgeable within his field but has trouble relaying information to students. Lectures were hard to follow and his teaching is all over the place. Homework is hard/time-consuming because his lectures are useless and unclear.

Careless professor. Ended classes whenever he felt like it and talked about hockey more than statistics and econ. Then expected everyone to miraculously know how to solve homework problems & do well on exams (which were much harder than the homework/assignments). Better off teaching yourself.

Gives lots of work and readings, some of which seems to be a bit too much. It doesnt help that he is somewhat a boring lecturer. Also, his tests are very long and extremely difficult to finish. But overall, he is a nice guy and has flexible office hours. His classes may get boring but he does a decent job of getting the main points across.
