Reviews of professor Nicolas Gendron-Carrier

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not the worst, not the best. He is a nice person and puts effort in teaching. He changed the grading scheme to help students, decreasing the weight of your lowest exam grade. The problem I had was that he sometimes loses focus and directly reads what is on the slides. Also, his exams didn't test the actual material well, and timing wasn't fair.

Although he is very caring and really does try to explain the content, I don't think he is good at explaining concepts in an accessible way. However, the content and the empirical papers he presents are rather interesting.

Prof. Gendron is a nice as a person. However, his lectures are often unclear, and lack a sense of clarity. His exams looks nothing like the the practice questions we were given to do at home. Sadly, I do not seem to be the only person to think this.

Defnitely avoid it, 0 care for students and worst lecturer i have ever seen

Prof. Gendron Carrier is organized and has good pre-recorded lectures. The problem I found with taking his class is that his exams do not reflect the practice problems and problem sets that the course is centred around, and he seems to expect students to complete his exams in half the time that it actually takes.

ECON230 was easily my most annoying course this semester. Gendron-Carrier is nice but not a good prof and the classes are convoluted and not helpful. The application of mathematical concepts is not clearly explained and leaves a lot of students super confused when left to do exams that are nothing like the problem sets or class work.

He cares about his students and explained all the concepts clearly. Just do all the problem sets again before all the exams, then you will be getting As.

Only problem sets through weekly quizzes and refuses to give us answers for practice questions. Didn't even bother giving us practice exams unlike the other sections. Reused old lectures where his explanations manage to overcomplicate even the most simple economic concepts. Clear he only cares about his research and not his students.

The prof makes it very clear how to do well in the class (do all the assigned workout problems and weekly problem sets). Lectures were clear and moved at a good pace, he responds quickly to emails, posts full solutions to all practice problems, and seemed to genuinely care about his students. Exam was a bit tough but nothing unexpected.

Professor Gendron-Carrier is an amazing teacher! He was always clear and easy to follow in his lectures. He was quick to respond to my emails and he was available to chat and give guidance outside of class. I did really well in his class and I feel like I learned a lot.
