| This was a great course. It requires hard work, but overall
is very rewarding. This is one of those classes that will be useful to you no
matter your major. |

| This course is one of the best Economics classes I have taken
thus far at Akron. The professor was very compassionate in his grading and in
his deadlines, showing initiative in understanding a student's struggles and
working with the student to resolve any issues. The classes were detailed and
thorough, offering real world examples of several different topics discussed,
allowing for a more in-depth understanding of the economic principles discussed
in the lectures. The lectures offered various resources of study to the
students, giving students more than one outlet to learn the material for that
week. Overall, this course was one of my best: This class alone has made me
interested in applying for a Minor in Business at UA and I look forward to
working with the College of Business again. |
| This couse is a good option for most students, even if you do
not particularly have an interest in economics. It teaches very important
econ-related concepts that are important to know and understand, but also shows
you important analytical skills that are crucial in solving problems and
thinking effectively about issues and their potential solutions. The completely
online format is good to fit between students' schedules, especially if they
have weird gaps of time between classes since they can work at their own
pace. |
| This course is effective at doing what it wants: to teach
students about basic economics. I personally came into this believing I would
love economics, only to find out that I really don't. I'm a creative person, and
entrepreneurial aspirations are what made me believe I would like it. Although,
it's not really a let down. I found out something about myself taking this
class. And despite it being on the more "negative" side of things, I believe
everyone has a purpose and mine just does not correlate to this kind of
economics (graphs and whatever else). I cannot say the next student that comes
along will love or hate this class. That's the beauty of it. It's learning what
you love, even if you head into it with the mentality of "this is simply a
gen-ed." |
| Honetsly I would recommend that any student taking this
course should take their note extremely seriously and to review them before any
quiz. Due to the little instruction recieved it mostly on you to learn and
master the material so stduying notes is the biggest part. As well one should
not procrastinate because trying to finish all your work the day it is due was
unrealistic and I learned quickly from the beginning of the course. Overall I
was successful, so I cannot complain about the professors teaching and the
modules created to relay the material. |
| This course is important for a student in any major. It is
easy to be unknowegable of economics even though you believe you understand it.
I thought this would be the case for me, believing that I already understood
all I needed for economics. In reality there is so much more about eceonimcs
that I was not aware of and many things I had misunderstood. |
| This course teaches a basic overview of the major topics in
micro- and macroeconomics. While many modules are able to be sped through in a
few hours at once, you'll probably end up getting blindsided by some of the
later, harder modules if you always do them on the last day possible. |
| For this course, the most important thing that you need to
understand is, don't slack off. Now this sounds like a given but don't. Even if
you think you understand what is going on, sometimes a graph will have
abbreviations and multiple lines and if you aren't paying attention then you may
not understand what the short term supply or aggregate line means. Graphs are
very important in economics so make sure you understand how to read and use
those as well. Also go into the class with a clean slate. Just because you think
you know how the economy works doesn't mean you are right and you will have a
harder time understanding that way. Overall I would recommend this class, sure
it is a little difficult but it is interesting at the same time. |
| From micro to marco, this course is going to give you a very
good overview of economics. |
| I personally had a really good experinece with this economics
course! I think a lot of time people dislike the idea of a 100% asychronous
course, however, this course was well constructed and the professor did a good
job of keeping communication but letting us work at our own pace. |
| I believe that this course has a lot of useful information
for students going into the economic field. It gets in depth with the small
details and how the overall impact the economy. |
| It is a very interesting class and subject particularly if
you are starting to do internships/co-ops. You start to see economics use in
real life for decision making. With that being said, this course requires a good
amount of reading and studing. I will say that I spent anywhere from 8-10 hours
per week studying. |
| As an engineering student just filling a requirement, I was
at first reluctant about taking this course. However, the way the course and
material is organized and presented, I have benefited greatly from this course.
A lot of things learned have real world application, so overall I was happy to
have taken this course. |
| This is a completely independent course. You have 3 tries to
get a 10/10 on the weekly quizzes, but it's not as easy as it seems. Grading is
fairly straightforward. You will need to put in about a schoolday's worth of
work every week to complete your work for the week. It is not difficult to end
with a passing grade, as long as you do what is required of you. |
| This course is 100% online. The material is split up in 15
modules with no homework! The way you get points is through 12 quizzes and 2
essays. You are allowed 3 attempts per quiz, counting your highest attempt
towards the final grade. The material is sut up in a very organized manner.
Also, the weekly schedule doesn't change, this is one of the best aspects of
this course. If you decide to take this course you will not be
disappointed! |
| This class was very clear and striaght forward. If you keep
on top of work and use the resources and information given you should have no
trouble passing with a high grade. It essy enough to get ahead, in fact if you
were so inclined you might be able to get the course down in a month or two if
you worked on nothing but this class. The assigments unclocking as you go means
if you know another class is going to give you a lot of work in futre weeks you
can work ahead in this one to free up time. |
| This class was very good for an online class. I personally do
not do well in online classes and would rather be in person, but currently we
cannot meet in person for classes. The great thing is that this class isn't a
first time online class, and has been online for a while. That means that
everything is well thought out and works nearly flawlessly. Each module is set
up in a similar way so that once you complete the first one, the rest are all
similar besides the content. The information was plainly laid out and easy to
sit down and read. Overall I would highly reccomend this course. |
| This course gives you insight into everything to do with
economics. You gain different perspectives on topics that you thought you
already knew about and can now apply the knowledge you gained to make your own
informed decisions about topics in politics and about the economy. You will
learn about how different policy decisions such as taxes, minimum wages, or the
decisions made by the Federal Reserve actually affect you and others. The course
contains modules that you complete each week that include powerpoint
presentations and videos to watch about the information. At the end of each
module there is a quiz or essay that you must complete to move onto the next
module. The workload is pretty manageable, and the online option allows you to
complete the module at the time during the week that fits into your
schedule. |
| This class in unneccisarily long and drawn out as well as
difficult. As an engineering student I can sy that this class is structured to
make it harder than even the hardest engineering course. |
| This is a very interesting course when you engage with it.
You will learn a lot and it's great for teaching you all the things you wish
they taught people in public school. It will make you a more educated and
well-rounded person. |
| Introduction to Economic Analysis is an amazing course that
covers a large span of topics. These topics are based primarily out of the
principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics and are easy to follow along
with. The online nature of this course allows you to work on your assignments at
your own pace and the mastery system used ensures that you have a good
understanding of a concept before moving forward. If you have any interest at
all in economics, I highly recommend this course since it is a great way to dip
your toes in to the field and keep your GPA up in the process. |
| Hello, Introduction to Economic Analysis is a very
interesting class if you are interested in business, the stock market or just
wondering how and why certain prices are chosen for specific goods. This class
goes over a whole variety of economic topics so with no information in economics
it can make certain topics difficult to understand. I suggest if you take this
course to have a list of the vocabulary learned from each module so you can
easily see the definitions of past vocabulary words that are used in future
modules. The quizez you get to take three times but each time the questions
change. Each quiz has a few tough questions that are tricky but its usually only
one or two per quiz. The rest of the questions are usually answered right in the
powerpoint presentation. Make sure to read both the power point slides and the
"summary" of the chapters. Which is like a 3-4 page summary of the 60 page power
point. Some answers are only answered in the power point or in the summary, so
make sure to look at both. The professor is very kind and obviously loves this
topic and will no doubt answer any questions you have, as well as giving a few
extra days to complete quizes or assignments. |
| This course is mastery based so it is essentially impossible
for you not to learn. Of course, you have to put in the work too; but it is
interesting material, and easy to do. Quizzes are not too time consuming as
well as the powerpoints, videos, etc. in the modules. It is a good course to
take and very informative. |
| Introduction to Economic Analysis was a very intersesting
course and the knowledge gained is something that will help one in the future.
Regardless of career or any other factors, a strong understanding of economics
is very important for adults to have. This class doesn't necesarily teach you
which aspects are always the best, but it teaches you to learn how to make those
decisions for yourself, so I would highly recommend this course to future
students because, simply stated, it is stuff you need to know. |
| This course is self paced and requires more self discipline
than a standard online course.It does teach the basics of Microeconomics and
Macroeconomics.Make sure to submit your work within the time limit or else it
can affect your grade and your motivation to complete the course. You need to
test out of each module with a score of 8 or higher within 15 minutes.There are
three attempts and as it is stated in the beginning of the course, refrain from
taking them back to back.Instead revise the portion that is being tested and
take an attempt after reviewing your answers. |
| This class is a class that if you want to learn the basics of
economics, I suggest you take the class. |
| Introduction to Economic Analysis pushes for the learning of
economics, not just memorization. The professors are very knowledgeable and
provide a number of outside resources to reinforce the material. The evaluations
are a fair assessment, and the modules split up the material in a way that makes
sense. Overall, I would recommend taking this course. |
| Just make sure to do a little every day. If you take the
time, you will be fine. |
| This course is convinent and has a loose structure to follow.
This is good for students who want to take time flexible classes. Additionally,
one should take this course if they only want to be graded off of quizzes and a
few essays. If one usually relies on participation and homework grades, then
this is not the class for them. |
| Great class with a good professsor. You will learn a lot
throughout this class and come out with more knowlege on economics. |
| This course offers a well-rounded introduction to the field
of economics. Dr. Myers has sourced a large amount of additional material for
this class and has organized it well. If a student is merely interested in
passing the course, that can be achieved without studying every single document,
but if a student would like to learn more about each chapter, the supplementary
materials are more than sufficient. |
| This course is very easy to succeed in. You must have decent
time management skills, but you can do readings and assignments at pretty much
your own pace and are given plenty of time to complete each module. The concepts
are not too difficult and many outside resources like videos are provided to
further your understanding. Overall you will learn a lot about economics and
will likely get a good grade. |
| Overall, this course is a great introduction to economics and
the information learned in this course is not just for academics, but can also
contribute to personal development. The set up and organization of this online
course is easy to follow, and the instructor has the students best interest in
mind. Independence and self dicipline is required to be able to sucessfully
complete a course in this format, but there are many resources that can help
along the way. |
| Overall this class has been one of the best online classes I
have had the oppurtunity to take in my two years of college so far. Everything
was set up nicely and everything was easy to find. I wish my other professors
did what Dr. Meyers did with the weekly modules because it allows you to take
the course one step at a time. I had to take this course because it was a
requirement for mechanical engineering but I would reccomend taking it anyway
because you will learn economic principles that will help you throughout your
life. Overall a very solid course. |
| I recommend this course to anyone who is an analytical
thinker so long as they are good at managing their time. The content/material
covered in this course can be fairly interesting and is presented in a way that
makes it easy to grasp and understand. Nonetheless, since it is a asynchronious
course, if one elects to take this course, they should be ready to allocate a
certain part of each day or a whole day to focus on completing modules in this
course so they do not fall behind. |
