ECON 2020

midterms, clicker points, TA points,,,, first 200 points do not matter much unless you get A on the final. Even if you get 100% before the final and B+ on the final, you won't get A (grades are based on curve not percentage). However, if someone gets A on the final and 0 out of first 200 points, he/she will get a better grade than you. It seems little bit unfair, but that is how it works. So, just study for the FINAL.

Coppock is adorable, and his lectures are entertaining. You have to show up to get clicker points, but discussions are optional.

When I took econ201 (NOT Elzinga's), the class was taught so bad that I almost hated economics. But Coppock made me love the subject. Taking econ201 with Elzinga and 202 with Coppock would be THE best idea.

Coppock is very very solid. He knows how to lecture to a 500 student audience and just brings lots of humor/charm/energy to the class. The material in ECON 202 in general just seems more intuitive than microecon and it is very useful no matter what your field of study. If you're a politics/gov major don't leave UVA without taking this class.

So even though there's Dutch KO, make sure you do well the entire semester. I ended up with an A in the class but on the basis of the final alone I would have gotten a B. Dutch KO sounds like a sweet deal but you really have to know everything inside out if you want it to save you. In this sense, doing well on the first two tests is crucial.

Coppock is a good lecturer, he is funny and knows his stuff well. The class was pretty much a joke until the final, which was incredibly hard. I did very well on the first two tests and did terrible on the final, so don't be fooled, the final is not like the first two tests. Still a pretty good class overall, but not an easy grade

Sarah was an awesome TA! Coppock is an awesome lecturer and I really enjoyed his class. It is applicable to many aspects of everyday life and I highly recommend the class!

Coppock was a fine professor; like previous reviews have stated, he had a firm grasp on how to lecture to a large lecture hall. His midterms were easy and his final not that much harder--just be sure to have a firm and true grasp of the material and it will come easy. Taking ECON 201 prior to taking 202 will definitely be helpful.

I would avoid Coppock at all costs. His final is insane and it counts for half of your grade, at least. His lectures are pretty entertaining, but he likes to trick you with the final, so beware.

Lectures were not very difficult to follow and grades are usually pretty high until you are blind-sided by the final. The final is definately a grade killer if you don't see it coming.

great class...don't believe any of the negative stuff...trust me
