A great class to take. May be a little difficult for some students but the information learned can be very useful for everyday life.

This was such a useful class. Even if you aren't interested in Economics, taking an introductory level course will help you understand a lot of important things, and you should definitely take it with Elzinga. He is a great lecturer, student-friendly, and always available. Plus he gives free cookies and soda if you go to his office hours.
While Elzinga is a great and entertaining lecturer, his exams do not correlate to the material covered in class.
Elzinga was a great professor. He was by far my favorite professor thus far.
lectures are interesting and so is the material, but the tests are insane
Best lectures ever. Really captivates you and makes everything seem easy to understand. Tests are hard, but dutch knock out system fixes that. M/C final.
Really fun class. I though Elzinga was as good as everyone said...he really loves economics and teaching and that makes it really easy to learn from him.
Dynamic lecturer, but the tests are pretty hard -- the grading system is nice, though -- if your highest grade all semester is on the final, you get that grade.
Lectures were somewhat interesting, but don't get sucked into the hype that is Prof. Elzinga. You are better off learning the intro material in a smaller classroom setting, and his class did not actually help me as I thought it would for my econ major.
Elzinga is a classy, classy man and a very dedicated teacher.
