Reviews of professor Zach Brown

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Loved the class and I think his teaching style is so practical and connected to real life applications. His class was easily one of my top highlights of my college career. The topics are interesting and pertinent to the economic climate. Really recommend him. Lectures are structured in a supportive manner and workload is quite light.

If there are ten 1 star ratings about the class and the professor being bad, they are probably right. One of the worst structured classes I have ever taken by far. The content that you learn in the class is good, but the exams were brutal. I do not think it is worth taking this class, especially with all the unneeded negatives that come with it.

No lecture recordings.

Homework weighs 30% of the total grade, but the lectures usually don't prepare you well enough for them.

There's a group project at the end. Teams are assigned randomly. So if you're unlucky, you better hope your exam and HW grades are high enough.

Dr. Brown will someday be a fine professor. Hes clearly still figuring out how to run a classroom and how to assess student learning, but the work was better than that from many more experienced profs, and hes pretty chill outside of class. If you like the content, youll be fine.

Shows no interest in what hes teaching. Reads directly from slides. Class could be interesting but honestly no point to go to class. Can learn everything from slides.

This was his first time teaching the class as a new professor, so it started out a little rough - no practice exams, lots of incomprehensible algebra on class slides, etc. Things gradually improved as the semester went on, and it covers some interesting material, so I am confident that ECON 432 will continue to get better.

Terrible professor totally unprepared. Just reads off his own slides filled with grammar errors.

"Terrible professor totally unprepared. Just reads off his own slides filled with grammar errors." This is totally correct. Also, I am wondering when I can get grade for things submitted 3 weeks ago.

Atrocious slides and poor lecturing. The project was very pointless but still was a load of work in addition to the final exam - so nice of him to double down during finals. He also said the class was curved but when I asked him why my 93 wasn't an A, he said there "happened to be fewer A's this semester." Thanks Zach. Avoid this class it sucks

I agree with most of the other ratings. The homework grading is kinda strict and its weighted pretty high compared to other econ classes. I actually thought the lectures were really interesting. The topics are cool and he knew a ton

His words went into an infinite abyss while everyone was staring at the walls.
