Reviews of professor Ryan Kearns

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Only two exams plus the final. No quizzes. Each exam is 20 questions and the final is worth 50 points. Lecture's are full of information and content so make sure to attend them. He explains things in a way that makes them easier to understand. We had practice problem sets to do every unit/chapter that helped prepare us for the exams and were graded

Takes attendance every class and incorporates it into your final grade. Long lectures every class and not much class involvement. Not a bad guy but I just couldn't really get into his class and really didn't learn much about about micro economics at all.

Professor Kearns is a good teacher, his tone makes him sound like he isn't very interested in what he's saying, but you can tell he knows his stuff and he's not bad at teaching it. He uses real world examples to communicate the topics that he's teaching. He'll either write the important stuff on the board or go through it on a PowerPoint. Good prof

The professor keeps talking and talking, he never gives out activities throughout his lecture and really nobody in class is engaged. If you love a professor that just talks and gives 1 or two examples at the end of his lecture, perfect professor. If you like hands on activities and more of a fun person with engagement don't take this professor.

Very smart and kind guy, but his lectures are extremely boring. Does a very bad job at explaining the material so you are just going to have to teach yourself it as you to the problem set for test, which isn't too difficult. Rarely any HW.

Dr. Kearn is a very informative professor. It's best if you take the time and effort to listen to his words during lecture, then go back and study the individual slides outside class. The exams and problem sets are currently mostly all the credit sources. Do the readings and problem sets; you'll be fine, provided you pay attention.

This professor knows what economics very well. He encourages people to ask questions since the concepts can seem confusing at times and will clear them up on the spot. Show up to class, participate, do all of the problem sets, and study your lecture notes. Overall a good class.

Professor Kearns is honestly one of the best professors that I have had at this school. Econ 101 is not an easy class however if you truly put the effort into studying the material and attend office hours, you will pass. Also, pay attention to the lecture notes and problem sets.

extremely boring but the class is not too hard.3 problem sets and 3 exams. Problem sets are graded for completion. Also one group presentation that is super easy. Hardest part is the exams. Final exam was way harder than the rest of the exams randomly First exam is super easy I got a 97 but I recommend reading the textbook if you want an A
