Elzinga is an amazing professor! I loved this class and would recommend to anyone, Econ major or not. It changes how you think about pretty much everything. Occasionally, lectures will be boring, but are engaging for the most part and there is not that much work outside of class (~1-2 hours a week of reading). The only challenging part is the curve, only around 11% of students will get an A or higher, so you have to be better than your peers, but if you can do that, then you will do well and gain a better understanding of how the world works.

Honestly the class in itself is useless. I didn't even bother attending lecture once I got my clicker points and I also never read a single chapter of the textbook. Elzinga yapped about soup for about half the lectures I did go to. But i mess with him heavy fr. Hes so old and frail. Like a sleepy bird. But yeah i recommend doing practice problems. If you do the practice problems in the textbook, you'll literally see exactly that on the actual final. I think the class is super light courseload and it's more of a "lock in for two days before the exam and all you're going to do and think about is econ but after the test you don't have to worry about it for like 4 weeks straight" kind of class. No active effort required in between tests, but a lot of effort right before the tests. I would recommend getting a good TA though, because I did actually use my mousy, kind of submissive TA for the first midterm. Also btw first midterm is super easy, second is hardest, final is easiest if you actually do the text book problems.

Kenneth Elzinga is a lovely guy. However, he is not a good lecturer. He talks about the same concept for 30 minutes of the lecture and barely moves slide. He tells too many stories that are irrelevant toward the course. He is now co-teaching with Mackay. Mackay provides much better lectures in every way. They are more detailed, understandable and overall a good teacher. Kenneth Elzinga also adds content onto the Econ 201 course that the other Econ 201 course does not have and is extra work for zero relevance. I strongly recommend NOT signing up for this course.
