Reviews of professor Durga Gautam

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great guy, I'll admit his accent is sometimes hard to understand but he knows that and will write down the word or concept on the whiteboard. You get a formula sheet not a note sheet for the exam. Not too much homework. One of the very few econ professors here that lean supply side and free market competition.

Dr. Gautam is a great professor, I got to learn a lot in his class and he encourages students to provide their opinion even if it is right or wrong. He is very caring and he will adjust deadlines if you just ask. All the material in that class is very easy to understand if you don't understand you can go on mindmap which has amazing learning tools.

I don't love economics and find the subject challenging but Professor Gautam really supported me (without even needing to reach him outside of class!) through the comprehensive online material and lectures where we could ask questions about things we were confused on. He's really great and I highly recommend him!

Lectures are extremely dense but the material is well covered because he is very passionate about economics. Gives out homework once a week which is greatttt, occasional pop quizzes, and exams are easy if prepared properly with the GIVEN study material. Super lenient and really does care about his students passing, would definitely take again.

Dr. Gautam cares about economics and his students. His lectures feel long but have good content. A single homework assignment per week and pop quizzes every other week or so. Attendance is checked but is not mandatory. Even after missing a bunch of classes and a homework, I can still easily pass.

Dr. Gautam is one of my favorite professors. I've taken 3 classes with him, and they were all great. He's very knowledgeable about econ as a whole, and cares a lot about his students and wants them to succeed. He is very accommodating if you need extra time or extra help on anything. Classes aren't too hard, but you'll have to put in some work.
