ECON 2020

Very easy and interesting class; Mr. Coppock is a great professor. I got an A+ without cracking the textbook once just go to class and listen to his lectures.

Coppock was great to listen to after Elzinga, mainly because he's energetic and the course topic is interesting. He's obsessed with Rotunda principles, make sure you memorize them word-to-word before exams, or you will regret it, losing 3 points by writing "there are" instead of "The" is painful, and matters very much in the range of B+,A-. There is always the Dutch Knockout if you feel you know the course and think you lost points just because bad-grader TAs and nonsense answer expectations.

i really didn't enjoy this class. He made the final much harder than in years past which screwed over a lot of people that were planning on doing Dutch knockout.

Professor Coppock is an outstanding and engaging lecturer. I was frustrated by the the difficulty and grading problems of my midterms, but I guess that's why the Dutch Knockout is there. Overall, a great and interesting class for all who are interested in any field of the social sciences. Other than possibly having small homeworks from your TA, you won't have any assignments other than the exams. It's not the easiest intro course, but if you put the time in, you can do it!

If you're at all interested in Economics, take this class! Professor Coppock is a very clear and organized lecturer-he puts in effort to make the class interesting and applicable to your life. Also try to talk to him during his regular/running office hours! You may find you have an interest in the study that you didn't before. :) Overall, a great class and useful if you're willing to put in some effort.

I took this class right after ECON2010 with Elzinga and must say that I liked Coppock's class so much more. He's a great lecturer and his slides were so much better than Elzinga's PEG sheets. Also, Coppock uses his own book which is really nice because it supplements his lectures well and is easy to read/understand (so expensive though).

Overall, I think the class is a little easier but that is mostly just due to the material covered being easier. Scaled at the end based on 450 total points and final is dutch knockout or 200 points. Not too much work other than readings (which I I usually left until the week before the exam), and definitely one of my favorite classes here at UVA!

This was my favorite class of the semester! Coppock is an amazing and interesting lecturer, this was the first time I've ever enjoyed reading the textbook for a class because it was so well written and the class material is relevant in everyday life. The exams really weren't that hard if you always read the textbook and attend lecture. I got a 95 on the Final Exam, and there was dutch knock out, but I would've done fine without it. The Final definitely emphasized the material from the last section. There was hardly ever homework, so overall this class was stress-free, enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone! That being said, I'm a first year pre-commerce or econ. major so I enjoy the material! Also I took this class without any Micro experience and still got an A no problem.

Professor Coppock is hands down one of the best professors at UVA! His class was always a pleasure to attend, and he definitely has me considering an econ major which i certainly did not think would ever happen. He is engaging, hilarious, and incredibly clear, helped by the fact that the text book we use is his, and complements lectures very nicely. My one complaint would be that grading can be very stingy and the curve is certainly not as generous as you a lead to believe it would be. With that said, try your best, read the book, and attend lectures (you will want to), and you will do fine. Class consists of 2 midterms, final exam with possible dutch-knockout, TA points, and clicker questions.

Coppock is a great lecturer, although biased toward Classical Economics. He presents information in a very easy to learn fashion. Minimal work is required to understand concepts. However, it seems like the less you know going into his tests, the better you do. Final is a tricky multiple choice test with Dutch Knockout. Little curve. Recommended if you need it.

While not the most interesting class, Professor Coppock is a great lecturer and tries to keep students interested. He's almost too straightforward with what you need to know to the point that lectures can be boring. And then the straightforwardness is lost when you get to the final exam where questions are obviously designed to trip you up. Overall a solid class though.
