Reviews of professor Barton Willage

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Willage cares about students. He is constantly looking for feedback from students on how he can improve his class. During COVID, he went above and beyond to ensure students were doing okay. Go to his office hours and get to know him. He likes that - it might benefit you later. Class is really interesting as well!

Dr. Willage covers a lot of material over the course of the semester, exposing one to principles that would be expanded on in pursuit of a post graduate degree, but narrows down the key concepts so you know what to expect on tests. Provides ample support outside of the classroom and reviews the basics of calculus that will be utilized. Good Class.

Best professor I've had in the Econ department by far. He gives study guides for test well in advance of the test and it allows you to visit him in his office hours with any questions about. Seems like most of the teachers in this department want you to fail, Barton is the exception, he wants you to do well and learn. MUST TAKE for micro and health

Professor Willage is hands down, the best professor in the business college. There's absolutely no debate. He's probably the best professor at all of LSU too. He's very laid back and casual, as well as funny. He wants you to succeed and do well in his classes. Even if you have to take him at 7:30 am, it's worth it 110%.

Even though this is an in-person class, this professor also do Zoom simultaneously. Test questions are very similar to homework and study guide questions.

Dr. Willage is awesome! I had him for intermediate micro, which is a moderately difficult course. The good news is that Dr. Willage truly wants you to succeed. Tests arent weighted super heavy, and there is credit just for participation. If you put in the work and ask for help, an A is do-able.

Zoom and/or in person class, very flexible. The class for me was an easy A as long as you are willing to put effort to understand graphs and concepts, obviously. His exams matches the homework, I don't recall anything that's not covered in the homework. If you understand the concepts on the homework, you'll definitely get an A on the exam

I took Professor Willages class a few years ago and I honestly wish I could take his class again. Hes one of the few professors at LSU that makes econ easier to understand. Hes very helpful and I wouldnt be where I am today without his help. Take his class!!! You wont regret it.
