Reviews of professor Simon Siegenthaler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Generous when curving grades. If u put in actual effort he'll show it in ur grade. He records lectures so that u can review them @ any time. Students also get a certain # (like 10) of free passes to not show up for attendance. 2 tests (65%), 2 quizzes (15%), EZ presentation (20%). No text, just a few articles that u don't even really have to read

Econ is not my thing- but he made it fun, useful, and engaging. He genuinely wants students to LEARN and understand how econ can help them. Game theory is cool. Take him.

Great prof. He's a smart guy who actually wants you to learn something from his class. He explains everything thoroughly and makes sure you understand before moving on. He does take attendance, but he is a generous grader. His course consists of 2 exams, 2 quizzes, and a presentation that you can do solo or with teammates if you want.

He did not require signing in to weekly meetings, but they were helpful because he reviews everything. Lecture videos are not boring & actually keep you interested. 3 quizzes, 1 group PPT & paper, & 2 take home exams that he gives 1 week to complete (slides help ALOT) He responds to emails within minutes & is so nice. Hate ECON & enjoyed this class

Professor Siegenthaler was one of the best professors I have had. He genuinely cares about making sure the concepts are understood. The class was lecture heavy but he spends enough time on each topic to have a clear understanding. He was very clear and organized about lectures and grades. The class has 1 presentation, 2 quizzes, and 2 exams.

Great professor - very clear, concise, and approachable. If you pay attention and study lectures you should do well.

Fantastic class. I walked in knowing nothing about Economics and am now able to speak to its relationships to all my other classes. This is a testament to Dr. Siegenthaler; he is clear, concise, engaging, and clearly cares about his students. If you show up to class and study a reasonable amount, you should do very well in this class.

Amazing Professor. He really cared about students understanding the concepts and always encouraged them to ask questions. The class consists of two tests, two quizzes and a presentation. Would recommend him to anyone.
