Reviews of professor James Gillete

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a great person and is very passionate about ECON. However, he gets off topic often, and will go on tangents about material that will not be on the exam. There is no extra credit, and the exams are the only points that are worth anything. His lectures can be difficult to follow.

He has a passion for teaching and would recommend him. Sometimes he goes a little too fast or off track trying to make the class engaging, but he really knows his stuff. The class itself is hard to begin with, so make sure you study and memorize his notes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I would show up as much as possible!

Does not take attendance but you have to go to class to get the notes. Bob is hilarious and will make the lectures fun. Had no problem getting up to go to his lectures.

Bob is one of the best teachers at UK. He is incredibly entertaining and an excellent teacher. You have to attend lectures or you will fail but you will probably end up wanting to go. Homework is manageable and helpful but his exams are tough (but fair) so they require a bit of studying.

I don't agree with any of the opinions he presents in lectures, but Bob is a nice guy. He rambles a lot during lectures so it's best to stick to his powerpoints, which do help while studying. The only grades are the exams and homework, and the exams are difficult. Not the greatest professor I've ever had, but definitely not the worst.

Very important to score well on exams, there are very few points in this class.

I loved Dr. Gillete! Like most people say, his exams are very fair as long as you read and know all the powerpoints, and study the practice exams. His class was not stressful at all and I enjoyed lectures because he always kept them interesting! Do good on your exams because they are like 77% of your grade if I am not mistaken.

BEST TEACHER EVER. Very engaging with students. His lectures are great, and if you pay attention you wont have to study much for the exams. His practice exams are helpful, but make sure you know the concept behind the question, not just the question itself. He's lenient within reason and really cares about his students.
