Reviews of professor Michael Gale

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His quizzes and test are easy as long as you study, but aren't worth much of your grade. His assignments that are worth majority of your grade. He very tough on grading as all my assignments I reference the book and his powerpoint, do way more than the minimum requirement, and for sure does not look half assed. However I only get 12-16/20 on them.

Unlike others, my experience with Professor Gale has been neutral. He does give you a lot of homework but the homework is from the textbook. He doesn't communicate a lot but you can show up to his review section. His grading scale is small, the class is only 100pts but he drops a lot of your lowest assignments at the end of semester.

One of the best classes at Cypress! Excellent lectures. Great PowerPoint slides. I learned a lot. He makes learning microeconomics easy. I scored A+ on every test but the girl next to me failed, though I really don't know how anyone can fail his class. Tests are from the PowerPoint material! Do the study guide like it's flashcards. Nothing tricky.

Professer Gale is one of the best teachers that teach econ. All his test are based on the homework. I took this class in the winter. It was an easy A. Just remember to study the homework and you will pass all his test with an A.

I want to preface this by saying that microeconomics is not an easy subject no matter who you take it with. Online classes are also difficult on their own. As long as you put in effort you should do well. He was generous in giving extra credit and did something that gained my respect. Take his advice and study the given resources.

Lecture materials were very lacking. His teaching ability is unmatched by only a goldfish. You'll get better value for your time from youtube

Great lectures, clear expectations, lots of hw (expected with a fully online class though). Econ is one of those subjects you can explain every which way to me, and I just won't get it, but his lectures really helped me understand the foundations of the material. Definitely recommend his class!

Taking online classes with Professor Gale was tedious. He didn't teach much of the material, but rather just reviewed missed questions from quizzes already taken. You have to read and refer to the powerpoints provided which he did not create himself. He is definitely a tough grader, always knocking off points for "not being detailed enough".

Professor Gale is the best econ professor. Students actually understand the concepts and teaches you real economics. The exam questions come from the online hw, quizzes, and the handouts students do in class. Exam questions are easy if you study and understand the concepts. Glad I took Gale. Take him if you can! Bummed he's not teaching macro :(
