ECON 4370

Class is interesting. Your better off going to class and skipping the readings as Burton really emphasis the important things that will be on tests.

The lectures are really really boring but if you go to class you do not need to do any of the readings and you can get an A in the class.

A lot of people skip this class because it's at 9:30, but you end up paying for it on the midterms and final. Interesting material and not too difficult. Material is unlike any other ECON class at U.Va. (except Burton's other course).

One of the easiest Economics electives, Burton is a very caring professor, for example, he helps 4th years with internships to an extent, hosts a barbecue, great guy to get to know. Also, an interesting and easy Econ elective. Definitely take this.

Burton is a roundabout lecturer. He talks for the whole lecture, but only says 1 or 2 things that will be applicable for the tests. There is only a couple midterms and then the final. Not much reading at all, just a few chapters from his textbook and a couple books. Look out though, he is an arbitrary grader.

Really easy class. All you have to do is attend lecture and read the intros and conclusions to the articles he assigns. He beats the topics to death in lecture and tests exactly what he teaches.

Class isnt necessary to attend. Just know the basics of each reading and the tests are cake

favorite class I took at UVA

A lot of readings, but Professor Burton has a lot of insights to offer about this topic. Overall, it's a worthwhile class

Not too bad a class, material is pretty enjoyable but lectures are dull. You don't need to attend class, just study the two days before exams and you'll be golden.
