Reviews of professor Richard Mansfield

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you are ready to learn nothing and get insanely hard exams that are worth your whole grade this class is for you. The mean for each exam was barely a 50% each time, and even though there was a big curve, it doesn't make sense to me the logic that a lot of students passed with barely getting a 40% . Do not take 3070 with him

The exams are quite challenging, but the class has a strong curve. The in-class clicker questions and recitation quizzes were difficult, but helped create a strong foundation for the exams. I really enjoyed Prof. Mansfield's teaching style and I could tell he was passionate about the material he was presenting. Definitely take the section with him.

Mansfield is one of the better ECON professors here. He is a very fast-paced speaker, which he is aware of, but encourages you to ask him to slow down or clarify. Problem set quizzes are the key to a good grade, and he posts an example with good solutions for preparation. Do the problem sets and either read the textbook or listen well to lectures.

Very good econ professor. Does a great job explaining the topics and always takes the time to clarify, he also uses clicker questions better than any other professor, they are reasonably challenging, but if he sees students struggling, he will go over it again. Tough grader, but he knows it and aggressively curves his exams. Would highly recommend.
