Fun class. Coppock is easy to listen to and makes lecture enjoyable and worth going to. It is very easy to get a good grade in this class. Be prepared for the final though. It is not at all easy. The final is a lot different than the two other tests given. However, don't listen to these other people, I did better on the final than my other two tests.

Coppock's lectures are interesting and he makes the information easy to understand. We had quizzes in discussion to help you stay on top of material and midterms weren't bad at all. However, he does the dutch knock-out, just like Elzinga, and his final can destroy your grade. Great class though - just be prepared for the final.
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
