Reviews of professor Erik Kimbrough

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would never take his class again. He really didn't help my education at Chapman at all, if anything deterred it. He loves economics I'll give him that, but he really shouldnt be a teacher.

He complicates very basic concepts, provides examples that add levels of unneeded complexity, and blames the class for doing poorly. His lectures were confusing and hard to follow. Tests were very confusing and reflected the quality of his lectures, difficult and detail heavy.

Great teacher. Very insightful and passionate. So much reading but the books are great. He is a tough grader and you have to come in with a discussion question for every class (which is graded) but it's not too bad. His papers are fun to write (you only have two). Not much you're graded in.

I skipped half of his classes and aced all of his work.  Nothing gets accomplished in his class, and he sits in his chair, not teaching his students at all but rather acting as a mediator for discussions.  A monkey could do his job.   I was failed after skipping 50% of classes and acing the final.  He wrote up a false plagiarism charge and got me.

He over complicates very basic concepts to the point where hell stop halfway through a doing problem during a lecture out of confusion. His test questions were extremely confusing for, again, very basic concepts. He absolutely cannot teach and blames his class consistently when they fail to understand.

He's very passionate about what he's teaching but be prepared to think you understand the information and understand the information. If you like what you're learning you're going to love the class despite receiving a low grade or two. It's hard to get a B, it's extremely difficult to get an A. He does give extra credit though which is a plus.

Although Erik Kimbrough actively tried to apply the material to real-life situations, the examples were very often taken straight from the textbook. He does not use blackboard so you were unaware of your grade in the class and his test questions are very ambiguous. I recommend taking his class only if economics is your strong suit.
