Econ 160OL
Accredited
If you just want to pass Econ 160, I recommend his online class. As long as you attempt the online homework and do the term papers with effort, you should be able to get at least a B with his curve because so many people in online classes don't do/forget assignments. His midterm and final are hard, but even after doing horribly on both, I got a B.
ECON 160
So, yeah, this class is incredibly difficult. Most of it is done online so you don't really have to attend, but if you do, it's 3 hours of pain from how hard the material is and pain from how irrelevant his discussions are and how he constantly goes off topic. Other than that, just study for the midterm and final and do the term papers. You'll pass
Econ 308
Let me just warn you: Even with his crazy curves this class is crazy hard!!! I am regretting every single moment of it.Take it next semester with a better professor if he is your last resort! Makes subject difficult and I don't understand on top of that why he finds it amusing to trick us. If class average is below 50, something is obviously wrong!
econ160
Lectures are irrelevant and very unclear. Exams are extremely difficult and unrelated to homework or lectures. Do not take this class. I got a B but it was the hardest B I ever earned. Take this professor as a last resort
Econ160
So confusing. I'm a junior and just received my first C. I highly recommend not taking him. He will give you old tests to study, they are of no use really. The questions on the tests will only resemble them but the actual material will be completely different. Professor Ng, please learn new methods of teaching. Also remember this is a 100lev class.
ECON160
Recipe for success from a NON-ECON MAJOR - in other words, someone who wants to pass - take the hybrid class, don't go to lectures except for quiz dates, do all of the online work, do the fairly simple term paper and exams - bam, you've passed. some questions he uses on tests are hard but c'mon he's not that bad. I love his off topic rants lmao.
Econ160
I learned a lot from Dr. Ng. The lectures were interesting with many examples that relate to true life. The extra books were fun to read. I never knew much about life in China or Russia before taking the class.
Econ160
I did not learn anything from any of his lectures. He taught us how to get out of a DUI and witch doctors, but nothing about economics what so ever. The tests are impossible because none of the material is covered in any of the lectures. The average test score was a 30%
Econ160
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! His lectures are hard to follow and he goes off topic on these ridiculous examples. He does not apply the students for the assignments given and the live class is a waste of time. The work load is high and the grades don't reflect ones true knowledge of the material.
econ161
It is mandatory to read the book for this class if you even want to pass! Most of his students fail but gives a big curve. Test are hard and confusing and don't resemble the HW. HW & Reading = Easy, Lecture & 3 Tests = Complicated.
ECON161
For the Love of your life do not take this professor, took him my first semester for 160 (micro-econ) and I passed with an A thanks to his term papers, but I decided to take him again for 160 (I had no choice thanks to my work schedule) and for 160 he HAD NO TERM PAPERS, unfortunately I failed! The way he explains ECON is incomprehensible!
econ161
This guy needs to be evaluated. His test scores and grades dont accurately reflect students knowledge in the course. Seriously dont waste your time taking a class by this guy.
Econ160
Great class. You have to read 4 books plus the textbook but the extra books, the term paper, and the lectures really go all together and teach you something about the world. I believe the students who don't like this class are the ones who never got what Ng is trying to teach because they didn't really read all the books or do all the assignments.
econ160
The tests are next to impossible and then extremely curved so that a 50 is an A. I got an A in the class and feel like I learned nothing. Anyone taking his class should be able to pass because of the huge curve. Lectures are vastly irrelevant to economics and at times borderline offensive, like explaining the best way to rob a small asian girl.
Econ160
Okay, he isn't the best teacher but there should be no reason to fail this class. The curve is huge & he gives many extra credit quizzes that are open book & you can work with others. The quizzes are the same concept of what is going to be on the exams. Yes, this class is pretty difficult for its level but it's college.. just study and ask for help
Econ311
Everyone passes because his grading system, but avoid if you want to learn about economics. His test very difficult and sometimes has information not referenced in class.
Econ160
His class is extremely difficult for a beginners Econ class. His lectures are 20% Econ 80% random nonsense. 1 midterm 2 papers 1 final. If you want to do well, read the book till you understand everything, get help from tutoring (even though tutors are just as confused sometimes), do all the homework, STUDY FOR THE QUIZES & study for the exams.
ECON160
If not for the curve, this semesters passing students would be less than 20,in a 200 student class.The curve ensures anyone who does at least one page of hw can pass, but if you plan to take the next courses (161, 300, etc) you will fail since you wont know the material that you were suppose to learn in 160
ECON160
The only reason I passed was b/c i had taken econ 161 before transferring.He goes off topic constantly that i ended up sleeping in class.He wont tell you what you missed and has that smirk of looking down on you for not knowing.I suggest that if you have not taken econ before and his is the last available class, wait another semester.Not worth it
