Reviews of professor Juan Ginarte

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Do not take this professor if you actually want to learn and be engaged. Easy pass, but his lectures are long and boring and he is very repetitive. Attendance isn't mandatory but he has participation quizzes each class. I wish I had read these reviews before taking his class because they are all true. Not warm or friendly at all.

Great professor at teaching microeconomics and macroeconomics!

Professor Ginarte is a very lecture-heavy professor you usually get 2/3 assignments every week which are easy to do. He likes to ramble on in his lectures when things could be explained in a few minutes instead of 10/15. He gives MULTIPLE opportunities to bring your grade up with extra credit. There's really no reason not to pass. Easy A

This professor isn't terrible, but not really good either. Sure, you can leave with an A, but honestly, I feel like I didn't grasp much of the material. His lectures are boring and repetitive, and the quizzes take a while to complete but aren't complicated. He is not warm or social in the slightest.

My old econ professor died, so I got switched to this one. He's the definition of "fine." His lectures are boring and often redundant; he overexplains things. All assignments are online (tests, too), and most of the answers can be found via Quizlet. If you're looking for an easy pass, take him; if you're interested in econ and want to learn, don't.

Took class in person before the hurricane and everyday was a lecture but you can tell he knows what he's talking about. He kind of repeats himself a lot but it helps to drill in the information. I would definitely take this class in person if you can - his zoom lectures get frustrating because he forgets to switch the screen back and forth. Easy A
