Reviews of professor Nicholas Irwin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The professor gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester, so be sure to be on the lookout for that. The only reason I gave a 4/5 is because the lectures are quite boring, and the slides are directly from Pearson with no changes. The book must be bought new for the homework, so reading it will give you the same info.

Professor Irwin is one of the best Economics professors at UNLV, and I've had a couple. His expectations are very clear and as long as you are able to complete the study guide and homework problems, you should be set. This is the only Econ class that I came out of feeling like I actually learned something. He's also very cute hehe and funny!! :P

Irwin is a very kind professor, he is a fair grader. His lectures are great, though he can rush through sometimes he was always available and glad to explain topics when asked. He is a quirky guy and i loved his class. When class moved online due to COVID he was very active in posting lectures. If you are nervous Econ hes the man to take.

Professor Irwin is great. Six homework assignments, three exams all of them very clear and match lectures and study guides. Go to class work out the in-class examples and youll do great on exams. Id recommend him to everyone.

Love this teacher! You know exactly what you need to do to get a good grade. 5 hws and 3 exams. He follows the book and his lectures and attendance is not required but helpful. Hes personable and seems to connect with the class. Hes pretty funny and not terrible to look at. Would recommend for any ECON class.

My biggest issue was the final. It was inconsistent with what we learned throughout the semester. The quizzes were all multiple choice (MC), first two exams were MC and short answer, but the final was heavily weighted towards essay questions I didn't feel prepared for. To Professors credit, he did a nice curve. Definitely a good guy.
