Reviews of professor Andrew Balthrop

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Balthrop has good lectures, but econ is a hard subject. He is a very slow grader but does give large curves and some extra credit. Attendance isn't required but if you don't go you will be very confused on tests. Tests are hard but with the curve, you can get it up. There are limited assignments so every grade counts.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Does not try to make the learning environment easy for distance learners. Do not take his class.

Easiest grader! I just got 100% on the final. Seriously such great lectures and truly a professor who cares more about what you take away from his class than the grades. The worst thing about his class was some of the students who non-stop complained. You have to show up to class, but otherwise he grades almost everything on effort. He's great.

Professor Balthrop is genuinely a good guy. His lectures can be confusing at times but solely because he gets excited about the material and goes in depth, regardless it is a fairly easy class so it doesn't effect his ability to teach the material. Go to class, go to si, take notes. you'll get an A. Plus he is willing to help u succeed and learn.

This class was incredibly difficult because of Dr. Balthrop. He is an amazing economist in my opinion, but not as good of a professor. He rarely graded anything on time and also never posted things on blackboard when he said he would. Honestly love him as a person, he was funny, but a terrible professor.
