Nikhil is a great TA. He didn't just reiterate what was said in the lecture, instead picking out topics that weren't explained in as much detail as they could have been and walking the section through them. He's approachable and can answer a question.

midterms are straight forward short answer
final is whack--hard multiple choice
Much better class than ECON 201. Coppock is a great lecturer and explains concepts very well.
This class was amazing! Coppock teaches the material of Econ 202 much better than Elzinga does his, and Coppock does it in away that is intimately related to the major current events of the day. His lectures are engaging and interesting, and the material relatively easy. If you go to lecture, pay attention, do all the reading, and put in a decent amount of time studying for his final, you will get an A. Do not be afraid of what upperclassmen tell you. Coppock has continued to modify his material (and tests!) and made the class easier and easier.
I really liked coppock's class. He ties in what is happening in the real world with his lecture. First two midterms are pretty easy.. His final is ridiculous however so be prepared.
Final really hard, dumb
the class was fine and then coppock killed everyone with his final. lectures were pretty boring.
Go to lecture and take notes. Study the notes and then you'll get good grades
This class tends to get a bum rap, and I have no idea why. Coppock is a real personable, funny guy who does a great job of relaying the material. Tests are harder than Elzinga's, but if you read and study all day the day of the test you should be fine. Did so and got and A- (and probably should have gotten an A). Great class.
Coppock's final was ridiculous. Material on the final wasn't hard, but its a bit hard to be tested on what you've learned all year when you use econ jargon that you haven't learned all year.
