ECON 4170

Mirman is brilliant but also a complete goof. He wants class interaction and isn't afraid to call someone out or pick on someone to get it. He really just wants people to be interested and pay attention - he basically created the economics of uncertainty field. Class is confusing, and the subject is definitely something you have to pay attention to and then sit and think about for a bit before you get it. Grades are only a (collaborative, open book and note take home) midterm and final, and attendance isn't graded but he notices if you aren't there - he asked me if i was a fourth year and if that's why I never came to class. #tcf2016

Professor Mirman is the literal man. Try not to be scared off in the beginning of the year and stick it through to the meat of the class. He's incredibly informative, and if you're interested in more academic Economics this class is great. Mirman is his own guy, go to class and pay attention and you should do well. Pick good teams to work with!

Bullsh*t class. No syllabus or book or readings. No homework or problem sets. I didn't go to class for the entirety of the last two months of the semester and I got an A- (and I'm not one of those super brilliant kids who just know things or whatever). Stopped going to class because he LITERALLY SAYS NOTHING THE ENTIRE CLASS TIME. Just fumbles around making fun of the students (which is funny for 0.01 seconds) and repeating the words "uncertainty" and "information" over and over again. Don't take this because you want to learn anything, because you won't. Tbh, this guy shouldn't have a job here. I guess you could call it an easy A, but I have no idea how it got there so I don't even know.
