Reviews of professor Latchezar Popov

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I am honestly surprised the other reviews on here have him at 5 stars. Maybe it's because of the whole covid situation but myself, along with the rest of my class, are all lost on the topics he is teaching us. Luckily he grades easy and the tests get curved a large amount. Unfortunately, I do not think this class will help me with future Econ class

Dr. Popov was the first Econ professor I had at Texas Tech, and as a graduating senior I can say he was still my best. I also took his special topics class. His lectures are extremely in depth, and very customized which is good because you dont have to buy the textbook. He is a very caring guy and very passionate about economics and his students.

As an economics major and this class was dry for me but the support of Professor Popov was crucial. He was very helpful during office hours. Lengthy lectures and math heavy, so descriptive notes is advised. There were 3 midterms including the final, and the lowest grade got dropped. Grades to give you the most points, not looking to deduct them.

Popov is one of the best Econ teachers in the department. He teaches the material to you where it can be pretty understanding. He assigns homework and gives a good amount of time to complete it, plus there are also virtual pop quizzes that the class may take during the lecture. For every exam there is a review and they help ALOT. Take him for Macro

Professor Popov is a silly guy. He is funny and tries to be captivating but usually isn't. His lectures aren't bad, just not memorable. He is slow to put in grades and usually doesn't give many assignments. On the other hand, he grades hard on the exams, and his reviews never cover the full array of material on the exam.

He curves a lot and he cares about. Only thing wrong was it was hard to hear him through his accent and mask.

I already rated this prof but it was taken down so all i'll say is take literally any other econ prof if you have to take 3311. I am an economics major with a 3.8 GPA and this class was extremely difficult. also he wears a mask so if you like not being able to understand your lectures this class is great.
