Reviews of professor Kim Ruhl

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Awesome professor, very clear lectures and frequently pretty funny. Lectures are very aligned with the book, so you probably don't need it, but I use it to clear up any misunderstandings. Does not require lecture attendance, and posts slides online. 3 non cumulative exams, and 4 problem sets make up your grade. Interesting class and awesome prof!

One of the best professors Ive had. I would definitely recommend him. Expectations are very clear and he just wants you to understand and know how to apply the material.

I took 871 with Prof Ruhl. He always takes efforts to immerse the students in the context before explaining the concept. Apart from being a great teacher, mentor, guide and friend, what stands out about Prof Ruhl is that despite of being so research active and academically busy, he invests time and efforts to see positive growth in students.

The class is really inspirational and a great opportunity to get hands-on experience to deal with data in Python, which inspires my interest in programming and would like to learn more. The lectures are well-organized and help you learn Python from zero to one. If you want to learn data analysis and visualization, take it!

Kim Ruhl is easily hands down one of the best professors in the economics department. His class, ECON 570 was very interesting and my favorite course so far. The class is project heavy but that is a good thing as long as you put in the work, and the exams can be a little tricky, but trust me they are not that bad.
