This is required for COMM and ECON students, but if you have to take it, take it with Elzinga. Even if you don't have to take it, ECON 201 is a great grounding in some general principles that can be very useful to know. He even gives a lecture on the beer market (makes concepts fun to learn about). Be prepared to deal with the bureacracy of big-class testing and grading though.

Many students feel that Elzinga's ECON201 class is a must-take. I disagree. Elzinga is a really great person and a good professor, but if you're interested in pursuing economics, take the class in a smaller setting. The tests are hard to the extent of not really being fair, and the TAs are notoriously horrible. Meet with Elzinga during his office hours, but don't take his class.

A very enjoyable, if not necessarily enlightening class

Mr. Elzinga is one of the best professors at the University. ECON 201 with Mr. Elzinga is a must for all UVA students.

Elzinga's lectures are very easy to listen to and although you may understand what he is going over in lecture you must read the book to really understand the concepts. The tests are more concept based and discussion type questions than actual problems. Make sure you get a good TA!

Fun lectures even though some information is irrelavant to tests. Tests are from the book - and kind of tricky.

My favorite course in my first semester here. That is coming from someone who will probably be an econ major, but it is definately worth taking no matter what your major. It will teach you useful principles to apply in just about whatever job market you enter.

Economics is the most useful class I have taken at UVA so far. It has changed my outlook entirely. Especially helpful for reading the newspaper and keeping up with current events in general.
