Reviews of professor Patrick Baylis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is an excellent prof. Never had the feeling that I could not follow his lectures. He always takes time to explain again if necessary. Smart and very funny at times, his lectures are exceptionally well-prepared and inspiring to listen to. If you encounter issues, he is very eager to help. Totally go to his office hours...

Best prof I've had at UBC. The class was super structured, and you can get a good grade if you put in the work (+the econ content is pretty simple). He even gave us an assignment for extra credit at the end of the term. He is super nice and is available for one on one office hours. 10000% recommend

there are 2 midterms, 1 final, 3 assignments graded on completion, & iclicker. also offers extra credit end of term. there is a textbook but slides are enough. also offers a lot of revision support before exams. one thing i'll complain about are the dry lectures & somewhat frequent errors in slides and problem solving

Decent professor but do not take if you are not comfortable with both macro and microeconomics. Lectures are somewhat fast paced and very dense. There are three homework assignments, but if you do not do well on those you will not do well on the exams and overall.

I really enjoyed Professor Baylis's class this semester and genuinely learned a lot. His lectures are quite dense with information, but as long as you keep up with the material and brush up a bit on the basic microecon information it's not that hard. He goes back and explains hard concepts again on the blackboard + gives opt extra credit.

Took my first class with Professor Baylis this semester (online due to COVID) and was a great choice. Of my four years at UBC he was easily my favorite prof that I have had. He is extremely friendly and caring and created such a welcoming/engaging class environment even with the difficulties of online learning. Lectures were very interesting!
