ECON 3010

The class is very straightforward - you get what you put into it. ECON 3010 is essentially just ECON 2010 in much greater depth, with "real" math (aka, very simple calculus) involved. Professor Mills, while very dry and boring, is excellent at explaining difficult topics, and he is easy to understand and follow. Each class consists of a powerpoint, which he also shares on Collab, that will cover material from the reading from the textbook. There are 6-7 group homework assignments, with 8 difficult problems, that you do with a pre-assigned group from your discussion. Your grade consists of the group homework, two midterms, and a final.

Definitely take Mills for this course. Although not the most fun class, Professor Mills knows what he's doing and teaches the material well. His tests are extremely fair- make sure you know how to do the homework!

I've talked with a few of my friends who took InterMicroEcon with other professors and I believe the consensus was that Mills is probably the best. In class, he is very straightforward with the material and takes the time to adequately explain the concepts. In office hours, he is helpful and friendly. His tests are based on the examples that he provides in his lectures as well as the homework. If you take the effort to pay attention during class and take the homework seriously then you're basically set for the tests. One other thing about Mills: he assigns groups for homework, which can be a pain if you're stuck with a bunch of unmotivated people. I was lucky in that I had a solid group. (Shoutout to Mihir, Laura, and Alex)

Great professor, but the material can get tricky at times and trip you up on the tests if you aren't careful. Take good notes, and make sure you understand all the concepts (not just cookie cutter examples) 100% before the exams and you should be fine. Fairly sure he didn't curve for this past semester, but I've heard he does sometimes.

Take this class with Spitzner, but definitely don't blow it off. You MUST attend class and take good notes if you want to do well on his exams - they're extremely fair and he sets you up to succeed by thoroughly explaining concepts in class. Only downside is that he has a very monotonous voice and it is hard to pay attention - but try your best! Overall, a great guy and a great teacher.

This class is a prerequisite for the Econ major and, as such, is very challenging. It's largely a rehashing of Econ 201- essentially proving on a deeper and more mathematical level that all the theory you learned in 201 can be taken for granted. Micro is pretty dry (at least for me), as is Professor Mills, but he is very thorough, articulate, and straightforward. I've heard that Mills is the best professor to take this class with, and I can see why. Grades consist of two midterms, a final, and weekly homework sets. Homework groups are a crap-shoot, you can very lucky or very unlucky with who your partners are. Bottom line: Take this class if you want to study Econ at an upper-level, and take it with Mills for what is probably the best experience of a pretty tough class.

If you want to take ECON 301, definitely take it with Professor Mills. The materials can be difficult so it's important for the professor to have the ability to make things clear. Sometimes it gets a little bit boring but most of the time the class is interesting. You can bring one cheat sheet during exams and the exams are fair. Make sure you pick your group homework people right! Personally I think a TA is not quite helpful.

Of all ECON 3010 options, take Mills. His balance between theory and math is good and if you keep up with readings, you're fine. Just a heads up: Do all practice online exercises, group hw exercises and try to get your hands on old exams and you'll do great!

This class is hard but Mills is good. He is very kind. His lectures are often dull but the examples in lecture, along with his online exercises and homework sets make up the tests. This makes the tests very fair and doable if you put in the work to understand his examples.

Not an easy class at all, but Mills makes it pretty bearable with how he runs it. He is very straightforward about his expectations and what he wants you to know. His problem sets and online exercises are often very similar to test questions, so definitely redo all of them before the exam to get a sense of what you may see. Mills himself can be boring at times but you can tell he's very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject. You'll definitely want to go to lecture to see the examples he goes through, just try not to doze off like I did sometimes so you don't get lost--he goes through a lot of material every time. Based on some of the horror stories I've heard about 3010 with other professors, I definitely recommend taking it will Mills to limit the stress.
