Industrial org was an interesting class in my opinion. Its a lot of work and assignments are broad, but this lets you research what you think in interesting/applies to you. I enjoyed it!

This class requires a lot of initiative from students to do research and read assigned papers as they are not covered in the lectures. The assignments are also research intensive. Tyler is passionate about the topics covered (which are very broad) and brings good insight from his own practical experiences. A good class that teaches practical skills

Cleve is an knowledgeable and respectable professor. He is dedicated to combining theoretical knowledge with practical analysis in class , and let the students to challenge themselves to do some policy analysis in homework. Although the homework and exam will be a little bit challenging, I can really learn a lot.

Dr. Tyler is one of the best economics professors I have ever met. He is very respectful and inspiring in class and his course is very interesting as well. I have learned both practical and theoretical economics in class. He gave real-life examples and industrial insights related to economics in class.

Readings don't reflect lectures & rarely referenced. HW is short essay answer in the class online forum w/ strict word counts. Grading is unclear & undefined. Valid answers can be penalized if prof. thinks they're not "correct" enough for his tastes. Prof. Input is unconstructive & uninformative (i.e.) makes it harder to learn from mistakes made

Industrial Organization. Interesting class. Material was presented at a relatively high level (i.e., not a math-intensive course). Assignments were fairly broad and required some research. Two papers were tough, but interesting. Tyler is an engaging prof. and adds to the subject matter with examples from his career as an econ consultant.

Very interesting material: Dr. Tyler works heard to try to connect the class with what's happening in the world and it made this a much more interesting course than most

He is simply excellent. He does an unbelievable amount of work in grading, with very detailed, individualized feedback. He reads every discussion post and makes thoughtful comments (at the end, so as to avoid the Schroedinger problem). I loved the projects - it's nice to do applied work. His comments were detailed, very helpful. Best prof ever!
