Reviews of professor Andrea Matranga

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures were boring and did not correlate with exams. His grading was non-objective and going to get help only left me more confused.

Professor Matranga's course was not the best experience. There were no study guides for the midterms and his PowerPoints were not the best resource. He knows his economics, but this class was too much to handle. If you do end up taking the course, make the LearningCurves your best friend. That is the best tool to use if you want an A.

2 easy projects, 2 midterms, a final and online homework. He cares about his students and is very clearly knowledgable in economics but is not a great lecturer. Very confusing, so expect to be self teaching all semester. The tests are incredibly hard and don't have clear study guides. Unless econ is super easy for you I'd recommend another prof.

He has a thick Italian accent, and isn't the best teacher if you have no idea what micro Econ is about, BUT he test is exactly like the homework assignments, just different numbers. You will definitely pass this class with flying colors because of how he structured his class. Just show up to class to get those free points.

His lectures were not too interesting but there's only a few homework per week. The personal project was pretty easy and the exam are based on the study guide.

Class wasn't difficult. I got an A on every test and I never read the textbook. He provides slideshows you can study from and that's pretty much all that's needed to know as all the information is on there. Make sure you pay attention to lectures as the examples he provides are good for practice. Overall, good teacher.

Study guides for tests, uses exact ?s from study guides/learning curve homework assignments on exams. Cares about his students, will do extra office hours whenever needed. Curves exams HEAVILY, offers extra credit. Come to class, do the homework/study guide, no way you wont pass with an A/B. Funny if youre quick enough catch his sarcastic wit.

I can agree that the class can get boring, but its college. Its a lecture and everything he is saying is important. he genuinely cares about economics and if you pick up on his wit, he's quite funny. Maybe not for everyone, but he's easy to understand, he goes out of his way to make students comfortable and to understand and he will curve. take him

He is sweet but he is way too lecture heavy and he often rambles about things that do not relate to Econ so they are hard to follow. He does not assign a lot of homework, but I feel like I did not learn a lot in his class.
