I came into this class expecting a professor who could not only handle 500 students, but make it seem like you're the only one in the room. Unfortunately, I think I got a little over-hyped and when I realized that his lectures, though entertaining, are just another lecture, and for the most part, designed for large classes. I can't blame the guy, in fact, he's really cool, it's just not the life-altering experience everyone had promised me. For the most part, you get most of the material out of the Colander book. The discussion sections are virtually useless; I'd rather spend my time reading.

Professor Elzinga is such a sweet man, and I never skipped a lecture-- they were fast-paced, and he ended them in 50 minutes, even though the class was supposed to run 75. I had take micro before and not received credit (IB...) so I found it easy, but it may be hard to grasp if you have no economics knowledge. But definitely do go to his office hours if you take the class! He is sooo nice.

To be honest, I felt that the lectures were fairly dry and scripted and didn't end up going to many of them. I started going again to the last ones in the semester, and those were actually more enjoyable (and useful) as they covered general life lessons and hobbies (Elzinga's hobbies, but still, interesting). Read the book if it's written by Colander!!

Elzinga was a pretty good professor despite having such a large class. Final exam wasn't as hard as it's made out to be, but I didn't like how the grading of the course seemed so secretive until after the final. Go to lectures, read Colander, and do the practice exams and it's not too hard to get a good grade in the class. Iso is the head TA and is very knowledgeable, but it can be hard to understand him at times in discussion.
