Reviews of professor Ryan Kearns

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ryan Kearns is a pretty chill guy and definitely knows what he is taking about. His lectures are pretty boring but microeconomics itself isn't that fun so. He gives a set of homework problems about every week and his exams are pretty similar to those. Expect to do a bit of reading and studying outside of lecture, but overall good class.

I was given a highly unexpected low grade on an assignment that had unclear instructions. Grade weighting is also not very good.

Smart guy but not necessarily the best teacher. Goes through powerpoints pretty fast and doesn't post them online. Doesn't assign a lot of homework but you might end up having to practically teach yourself the course. The class itself is pretty painful to sit through too. Take someone else if you can, but it's not the end of the world if you can't.

Prof. Kearns is a great professor because he sincerely respects students and conveys this helping caring, attitude. When the class does not understand an economic concept, he will try and rephrase it in a clearer and concise way. He also points out the contrasts and implications of various economic theories and principles.

Kearns is a solid choice. The lectures were uneventful but with a subject like economics, that's expected. There isn't too much graded work so make sure to do the Problem Sets on time. The class isn't "hard" but will exams will require some time studying beforehand.

Really smart guy but dry speaker and not great at explaining
