Edward Blinder

The final exam was very straightforward, but the midterm was tough. His lectures aren't the most useful because he just goes through the slides. I found it more helpful to just do the textbook readings and problems on my own. The mylabs was the key to doing well on the exam/midterm.

Good professor, course itself was brutal.

A good teacher, tries hard to make class to understand complex material. Easy going and a nice guy.

He teaches well, solicits questions and cares. Semi-decent jokes, but overall - a great prof and a nice guy. People that complain about his final exams - its made up by a group of profs, not him alone, so stop blaming him. Too bad he retires, I would take any course he would teach.

A good professor overall, though I certainly understand some of the criticism on this site. Would take his courses again if possible.

I am not sure what the recent reviews are talking about becuase his final exam is nothing compared to the review he gave and he went so fast on the lectures.

Nice prof, tries to keep lectures engaging, the material requires a lot of studying and practice itself. Only problem was I received the wrong final grade at first due to a grading error and it took some time for it to be updated to the correct grade. Material and notes provided are great and in-depth. Practicing the MyLabs help a lot as well.

Attending the lectures aren't mandatory, but his slides aren't the most useful so learning through the MyLabs or PASS is useful. The MyLabs include good midterm and final practice exams. Overall, straightforward course with this prof if you know where to learn the material.

He's really good. I'd love to take him again, but he's retiring. Hope he enjoys his retirement!

Best prof ever. This class was difficult but Professor Blinder was very leniant and caring. Not sure why his rating is low because he was one of the best professors ive had!
