Reviews of professor Coady Wing

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
So, it is a hard class. If you go to class it should be straightforward and do/skim the readings the lectures should be okay. The most frustrating thing is that some of it requires coding and what a lot of students did was piggy-back off of 2 or 3 kids, me included, as well as the TA to get the code. IMO, some people shouldn't have passed.

This is probably one of the most technical and useful classes offered at SPEA. I found Wing to be a great professor - Highly intelligent, friendly, inspirational, and you can tell he cares about students understanding the material. Most students in my class didn't seem motived though (pretty SPEA if you ask me). Great intro to Applied Econometrics.

Expects to you know how to code data on Stata without teaching it. Grades are only 4 big stata assignments and a final exam with a few reading assignments. Nice guy but does not teach what you need for homework. Impossible to understand the assignments without going to office hours and even then there are so many people there its hard to ask Qs.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM AS A PROFESSOR! He does not grade anything on time and piles on work
