Reviews of professor Michael Makowsky

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
the bad ratings are inaccurate. 
if you are like me and do not want a dry professor, take his class. 
he is extremely intelligent but also has a great sense of humor, making his class enjoyable. 
Those who think his class is hard simply want free handouts, everything he tests on are from class notes.
highly recommend, hard to not like the guy

Not a good professor. He refuses to post notes, doesn't use powerpoints, doesn't follow the textbook, and really doesn't care about his students. He stands in front of the class and rambles on about nonsense with relevant information sprinkled in the lecture every so often. I would not even recommend him to the smartest or hardest-working students.

Anyone that gives this man less than a 5/5 is either boring as hell or a horrible student. Makowsky is incredibly smart, engages the class well, tests fairly, doesn't take attendance, responds to emails quickly, sends plenty of resources, never EVER assigns homework or quizzes or projects, and honestly cracks some fairly woke and funny jokes. 10/10

Dr. Makowsky is a very smart guy and is cool when you talk one on one. In class though he just lectures with very little actual notes and some graphs. Things are overcomplicated. Reading textbook is more important then going to class. Tests are very difficult.

Only take if you are interested in this. I took it as an elective because I thought it had potential to be good, WRONG! It is lectures in class only and three exams to get a final grade. Material is not easy and the tests are all essay questions. Overall he does keep it somewhat entertaining, but if you are not passionate about the info do not take

Professor Makowsky is very charismatic and passionate about Microeconomics. He's always happy to show up to class and he makes it clear that he enjoys teaching economics. His tests are heavily curved and multiple choice so as long as you memorize what he has taught in lecture and watch the videos he recommends you'll do great. Pick Makowsky!

show up to class.... students who were not consistent in attendance complain about this man. You show up to every lecture..... you should get an A. 
Beware that the entire semester grades are on 3 tests and a final. 
Exams are fair, all from lecture notes. 
Lectures are super enjoyable, he has his own style of humor and teaching.

Makowski is by far the worst professor I've had during my time at Clemson. He doesn't use any technology and lectures are done exclusively on a chalk board. He also doesn't use canvas and doesn't let you have your tests or homeworks back to learn from mistakes. The only time you'll get to see your grade is when you get your final letter grade.
