Reviews of professor Andrew Balthrop

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Literally the best professor. Econ is a hard class and he explained things so simply and with passion because it's clear he loves what he does. He is also very reasonable and fair, if he takes longer than stated to grade tests, he rewards us with extra points because he was late on his end of the promise. Great professor!

Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. Week 13 of classes and we have no grades yet. He knows the stuff, but he is really unorganized. He gives us impossible assignments (we spend more than 4 hours w my classmates trying to finish it and we couldn't), and he never grades the stuff. He's very unclear about everything.

Balthrop definitely wants you to succeed, gives out 20% curves with bonus points also. You need to read before going to class to succeed. Also, pay attention in SI, it is possible to get an A.

All he does during his lecture is write on a white board and babble and it gets really confusing really quick.The first was 550 pts, second was 500 pts, and the final exam was 300 pts. Other than that we had three homeworks that were 5/10 points. His grading system is also super confusing. Overall I would never recommend this professor.

He's a passionate professor and teaches really interesting stuff. Not the most organized but grades easy and cares about the students more than the grades. He tells you what exactly will be on the test, so there's no reason to not pass unless you don't show up.
