Elzinga is totally awesome. This class is really easy overall, the material isn't difficult and is exceptionally elementary up until the first test. It's almost embarrassing. The clicker questions were a joke- I've yet to miss one, but hey, easy points, right? But Elzinga is brilliant and amazing. He is such an amusing individual- the class as a whole laughs frequently and genuinely, not forced for the sake of the teacher liking them. Some people complained about how he starts and finishes a bit early for lecture and therefore "doesn't use his time well", but I've yet to see a need for the additional ten minutes or so that he usually cuts off. He assigns very little work at all, your grades are almost entirely based on the tests, which I didn't find to be as bad as everyone else was describing. Elzinga makes economics applicable, interesting, and fun. Highly recommended, fantastic teacher.

Side ntoe: The mandatory discussion annoyed the hell out of me because I found it totally redundant and unnecessary, but Zach Moller is pretty good (can't really spell or write well but that's negligible), definitely not the worst I'd seen (I had to transfer out of Danila Panikov's session- he was horrid).

Elzinga is such a great teacher and such a nice man. He never messes up in his lecture and is very approachable. If you have the chance, even if you're not interested in econ, he makes it very enjoyable.

Elzinga is the man... take his class if you get the chance! Probably the most personable professor I've ever had.

Good class. It made me realize that Econ's not really my thing. It was interesting though, and Elzinga's definitely great. My TA was kind of dumb in my opinion, like he couldn't spell really basic words, and sometimes he wouldn't know the answer to some of our questions, but he was nice and summed up the material well.

Elzinga is a fine teacher. He is very hyped around campus. I don't know if he deserves it, while his personal accomplishments and knowledge are grand, this is him teaching the most basic economics course, which cannot be very demonstrative of those acheivements

Avoid Poyraz if you can as a TA, she is hard to understand...
