ECON 3720

I took the course in Fall 2025, DO NOT TAKE WITH MCGEE! I left the lecture feeling dumber... which I didn't think was possible. Teaching math concepts through PowerPoint slides is not an effective method for teaching econometrics. I seldom saw him actually do any practice problems in real time, which are crucial to understanding the steps required to solve the various types of problems we'd be presented with. Instead, he would show problems that he already solved (I use the term "solved" very loosely). And then while trying to describe how he solved the problem, he would tend to wander off on these 5-10 minute tangents about random topics that had nothing to do with econometrics whatsoever. About halfway through the course, I just stopped going to lectures and resorted to teaching myself through the textbook.
