Reviews of professor Tiago Requeijo

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is absurdly difficult. He does not really do anything to make the content easier to digest. I would have loved if each video had a recorded lecture to go with it instead of static powerpoint slides. He also doesn't explain why he deducts points for assignments.

Avoid at all costs. The three exams are cumulative, meaning if you thought you were done with Exam 1, you are screwed because now you have to know both the material for exam 2 and 1. Not enough help or organization for the extensive material in this course. I spend maybe 12 hours a week on this class. The most I can pray for is a C.

Awful organization of the class. You are on your own for learning 30+ formulas per chapter. Get ready to spend multiple hours looking at around 60-70 Powerpoint slides per week. It may not seem like much, but learning how to apply the formulas takes a lot of your time. Exam questions require that you apply three different formulas. It is insane.

I learned more searching Google and Investopedia than I did from this class. He relies on pre-recorded videos to introduce topics at a macro level, but fails to go into further detail in class, instead assuming that you understand everything from his videos. Group homework assignments were the worst, blind leading the blind. Avoid if possible.

Professor Requejo puts an effort to teach material using PowerPoint slides and quizzes at the end of each class - I appreciate it. On the other hand, it is very challenging to link concepts he taught during lectures to the material presented in his exams. Even though the final exam was an open book, it took me nearly 8 hours to complete it.

Very generous when giving partial credit on homework but has very difficult tests that everyone in the class struggles with. But he does a good job of only teaching you the business side of economics, and not bogging the class down with proofs and endless formulas.

I think professor Requeijo isnt getting enough credit because of how hard the class is. I spent lots of hours going through the slides, but I also asked for help and got it. Do the 1 homework and all 3 extra credits (wish I would have) And MEET WITH HIM if you do not understand something. The final exam counts the most, I got most of it by then.
