Reviews of professor John Ballantine

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
94+ receive A, 92+ receive A-, and below 92 receive B+. Very tough grading. Not recommended at all.

Avoid him. Does not teach any of the material during lectures. You are expected to learn everything on your own through very confusing slides online. Grading criteria was very unclear. Note that grading is a lot tougher than the syllabus suggests.

He is a really sweet person but talks all over the place. He does not know how to teach and the grading criteria is super unclear! If you don't need this class do not take at all. You will not learn a single thing.

Very knowledgeable about current topics of International Economics. He chooses relatable examples that make the course easier.
