Poor
Professor Caldwell is a good teacher but a very tough grader. This class was difficult if you didn't take AP Econ in high school, and even if you did it's still hard.

Professor Caldwell is the best professor that teaches Economics 101. This class is very easy if you did well in Advances Placement Microeconomics in high school. Either way, just go to lecture and memorize drawing each graph. Each exam is a lot of application of the information, so going to discussion, doing the problem sets and quizzes, and studying is important.

Mr. Caldwell is one of the best professors I've had. I had never take Economics before. He made me interested in the subject as I'm interested in my major. I disagree with review that his exams were hard. Actually, it was so easy as long as you pay attention in class and focus on what hints he will give. The given practice material were more than enough too.

Average
Professor Caldwell is way overhyped. There's not too much homework in the class. I went to lectures, did the problem sets, take home quizzes, and I still received a pretty average grade. Maybe I'm just not an econ person. I still feel like I should've gotten a better grade though.

Caldwell is my absolute favorite!!! Caldwell's excellent teaching prepares you for higher-level econ courses, but the exams are more difficult than those of some of the other Econ101 professors. You can't go wrong with him because he's also hilarious.

Some students will like him, some doesn't. I'm someone who does. He's pretty sarcastic, and that might make some people uneasy. As for me, I thought his sarcasm added something special. Be ready though, he's tough and getting an A isn't easy. On the other hand, his lectures are great.
