Santugini is a great professor who cares about your learning and your future but he is tough. He likes to challenge his students and is very math heavy, which is expected for this class. A lot of your learning experience in this class is also depended on your TA as some TAs go over weekly HWs/quizzes while some do not. Midterms are the main bulk of your grade in the class and they are significantly harder than in-class examples, as are the HWs and quizzes. My only suggestions to prepare are to do the challenge questions from lecture, ask questions and know your derivatives. If you are not an ECON major, I would not recommend unless you are looking for a math heavy class. #tCFF23

Santugini relies on a lot of algebra in the homework problems. It's expected that you'll spend a lot of time asking questions to your TA and/or Santugini, they would be impossible to do on your own.

He makes himself extremely available for meetings and answering direct messages with any questions about the material.

Notoriously harder than the other profs, but he really wants to prepare you well for the rest of the Econ major. Adds about 2-3 hours of extra online videos that are important to watch if you're going to keep up with the class.

Other than the fact that it's difficult he's a great teacher that loves Econ and will help you with anything enthusiastically if you approach him.
