The material was pretty easy, but Coppock makes the exams way too difficult.

if you want to ace the midterm and final, spend more time reading your notes (take good notes!!!), the exams are straight from the slides and lecture. although the slides are helpful when studying, make sure you write down the important things he says. the slides DO NOT cover everything, maybe like half. skim through the textbook if you need to. textbook is somewhat helpful in clarifying lecture but don't let it be the only thing you use to study. zhou zhang is hands down the best ta. she is sooo helpful and great at explaining, get her if you can. good luck :-)

good class, all should take

Coppock is a great lecturer and made the material extremely interesting. The midterms, as well as the final, were very fair and easy to do well on. There is no need to ever read the textbook. If you understand your notes and can make inferences from them, you should have no problem acing this class.

Coppock is a great teacher. The class is really interesting and the tests are not too bad. The final is definitely tricky though.

Coppock is the best professor ever!! so good at teaching ECON overall! he knows what hes doing!

great class!

Great class. Attend all the lectures and take down the note slides on the overhead. Unfortunately the class is extremely large, but if you just study all the notes before the exams they aren't to hard. The final is pretty difficult though.

coppock is real cute and this is one of the most interesting classes i've taken at uva..awesome, take it..its not too hard if you go to lecture and discussion

Coppock is a great lecturer. He's really enjoyable and makes a lot of jokes. His two tests weren't that bad. Overall a very good course.
