Reviews of professor Neal Becker

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
HIs lectures are kind of boring but his slides help a lot with plenty of graphs and information to study with. Tests are a huge part of your grade so make sure you are well prepared, but your lowest test score is worth 5% of your grade so that's a plus. If you understand the graphs and how to draw them you should do fine in this class.

Graded on three exams which were easy to manage. All long answers are the daily questions reworded and short answer questions are random information on the slides so as long as you read them once you're fine. One group project is graded easily as well and on a topic that you choose.

I found the class to be enjoyable. there are daily questions but he went through how to do them every day which was good practice for the exams. some questions were very specific but overall weren't too bad. the group project wasn't difficult but could be tricky depending on who is in your group

great professor. grade is made up of lecture activities,recitation activities, canvas homework (listening to a podcast),econlab homework and exams(ExamsAreHard).Final is cumulative. lots of helpful info on the slides. uploads his own short videos for extra clarification.recitations are super helpful,take Nathan as the TA if you get the opportunity

Professor Becker is a great guy and genuinely cares. His lectures are way too fast paced, so you are going to be doing a lot of teaching and note-writing on your own. Your lowest exam is only 5% of your grade, so it's basically a drop.

Good lectures although they were very fast. Talked about current economic events a bit which was nice to see. The exams are very fair. Recitation questions were very similar to exam questions. Seem like a great guy.

Very fun class if you like sports analytics and economics. Tests are worth 50 %(best one is 25, second is 20, and worst is 5).  Each test has 10 short answers--you must answer 7, and 3 long answers--you must answer 2. Short answers are facts and information throughout the slides(study all of them) and Long ones are the daily questions we review.

becker made lecture not bad to sit through, but 80% of your grade is based on 3 exams and the final, the weekly homeworks, recitation activities, and lecture activities are worth close to nothing so even if you get perfects on all of those, you have to do well on the exams to end with a decent grade

Pretty easy class nothing special about it. Recitation practice problems are the exact same ones you get on exams making them pretty easy. Only needed to show up to class when there was an in-class assignment, rest is easily self-taught. Homework was easy and the 5% on your lowest exam was nice. Final was same as exams. Overall would take again.
