Reviews of professor Alvaro Plachejo

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I personally did not like his lessons, I did not think they were good. I barely understood what was happening the entire semester. Econ is a baddie, dont take it if you dont have to.

If you do too good in the class he will accuse you of cheating and give you a C because he "has no proof" honestly save yourself the time and energy and pick someone else.

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! CLASS WAS SUPER EASY THIS SEMESTER, AND HE GIVES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDITS & YOU CAN WORK AHEAD!!! He uses Cengage for all homework & quizzes, the easiest stuff ever!! So if I could take him for macro, I WOULD! 100/10

Alvaro's class wasn't super difficult as there was a total of I think 8 worksheets and that's all my class was graded by. His lectures are super helpful and I would encourage you to attend them because they aren't very long. Althouhg it was a hybrid class, I found it hard to follow along online to be honest. His communication is okay.

If you complete all the homework for the class with an average of 90%, which is incredibly easy too do, and you do the extra credit offered, again averaging of 90% you can average 65% on the three test for the absolute minimum requirement of an A . Also if you put forth the minimum effort you will get more than 90% on the assignments.

One of the best professors I've had, STRONGLY encourage taking his course(s) for anyone who may need Economics as a part of the degree.

If you're taking either micro or macroeconomics this professor is a must take! he's super accessible and willing to help, he gives great feedback and is very lenient with grading. Many extra credit assignments for those who are behind plus he allows late work and makes exceptions when it comes to certain questions on a quiz or homework. Must take!

I took his course online, but from what I hear he is great to have in person! The work and grading were very clear. There is plenty of time to complete all modules if you plan accordingly. The assignments were relatively easy and textbook assignments I had gave multiple attempts. He does provide email updates regularly to stay connected.

There are three major deadlines, which he gives you two "free passes" which lets you extend to the end of the semester. Lectures can be boring but what is on the slides is important to write down because its on the homework and helps you do well

I loved this class. We used a user-friendly website to do all assignments which was very nice. The tests weren't really that bad. Easy A.
