Reviews of professor Phil DeCicca

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took Econ 201 with him. I skipped class quite a few days and still got a B. The grade is made up of two midterms a final and then two hw assignments. The best thing is the hw assignments match up exactly to the test. He definitely cares about his students and you really have to not care to fail.

He constantly teaches things wrong and comes in the next day and teaches them completely different. His writing is extremely small and sloppy. There are only 2 tests and the final. You have two homework's which you get 100% on if you put your name on it and turn it in. He misses quite a bit of class, so it is ultimately a waste of money.

There are very few grades in this class. He doesn't require a textbook and attendance isn't mandatory, but going to class is the only way you'll be able to learn the material. Most of the test questions come from the problem sets, which aren't even required. You can get away without doing any homework, but you get out what you put into this class.

I took this class online so it was a bit easier, but Philip DeCicca was the best economic professor that I had. His lectures are very easy to understand and follow, if you struggle in economic or it's not just your cup of tea I really recommend taking this professor.

He is an awesome guy and really cares about his students. We rarely had class on Friday (usually it was a 3 question quiz that took 10 minutes). In class, he always goes off on tangents so it can be hard to pay attention sometimes. He is really accessible out of class, just email him. Pretty easy A, just study a couple days before tests.

He did a great job of explaing the concepts. He has 2 lectures a week, each about 40-50 min. long. At the end of the week, there is a participation quiz. Very easy class to pass and Dr. DeCicca is always ready to help and ensure you succeed.
