Reviews of professor Matthew Elmer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class consisted of copying down hand scribbled notes. No resources besides the book and notes were provided, and the book provided minimal value at best. Structures quiz questions around topics barely covered in class and book. Exams differed from quizzes and multiple choice questions were unnecessarily difficult. Low class attendance overall.

One of the best professors I have ever had. He explained the concepts very clearly and new what he was talking about. He told you exactly what was going to be on the tests. If you kept up with the homework and went to class you can get a good grade no problem. Highly recommend

Class structure is boring and uninspiring. The lectures are easy to follow along with if you have the willpower to stay interested in it. The exams and weekly quizzes are taken almost verbatim from the lecture material so if you don't buy the textbook then you'll need to show up every day if you want to pass.

Everyday we copy pre-written/pre-used notes for 50 min, and it's all we have done since January. Matthew fails to deliver original and thought out material to engage his 300-level class. I would absolutely recommend taking anyone else if you want original and personal insights into the Economics of Public Finance from a intellectual POV
