Reviews of professor Maksim Isakin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
  4 exams and 10 assignments and extra credits worth 1 assignment, huge ass syllabus to cover for each exam and get ready to ready by yourself.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best courses that I took so far. Clear grading criteria and the course expectations. Definitely recommend if you like economics and ready to study.

Prof Isakin is very knowledgeable and gives a ton of extra credit. He curves the test scores if needed and is very helpful when your confused on the material. The lectures are kind of boring but I would suggest going to class in order to get quiz extra credit. Take this class if you want to easily pass while still learning a pretty good amount.

There is a lot of content to cover in this course but Professor Isakin breaks it down very well and answers any questions you have. He offers a lot of extra credit opportunity that makes the class very easy. If you have to take this class I'd definitely choose him.

Boring lectures, but he curves tests, gives extra credit and attendance was not mandatory. If you keep up and do the work you should do very well in this class.

There was enough extra credit to cover an entire exam. The exams themselves are fairly simple if you study the practice exam questions and the quiz questions as they will repeat on the exams. The professor himself seems nice.

He is a TERRIBLE professor. Quite honestly, he doesnt know how to teach, like at all. He is so quite that you can barely understand him, even if you sit at the front of the room. And he has horrible grammar and is extremely bad at explaining concepts. He should not be teaching!

The class is difficult, but professor is very good, accessible outside of the class and explain material very well.

Most useless professor. I never understood a word he said and I only showed up to class because he took attendance. Didn't learn a single thing. Do not take him if you actually want to understand and learn economics. His class was basically a study hall for me. Doesn't help you out before the exams at all. He's a nice guy, but terrible teacher.

Isakin does give a clear and concise outline at the beginning of the semester and as long as you are on top of due dates and plan ahead to study for his exams, you should pass with flying colors. He does give weekly (extra credit) discussion boards and quizzes to help boost your grade. His lectures aren't the most exciting, but they could be worse.

Had to study a lot but it was rewarded. Interesting class with real-life examples. Great prof.
