The professor of this course provided intellectual y stimulating presentations and guest speakers that pertained to research in economics. Students were not required to do any written work; they just needed to show up to class and listen. Some of the lecturers gave confusing lectures, and some of the topics were too advanced for the students. It was felt that a background in econometrics was needed in order to grasp all of the components of this course. Suggestions for improvement include: a brief overview of econometrics, the use of less jargon by lecturers, and a question segment following presentations. Prospective students should enrol in this course if they want to develop a better understanding of Economics.

The best part of this course was getting to learn about the Economics Department faculty research projects by having different professors guest lecture every week. Some students felt course lectures were hard to understand due to the heavy amount of jargon. This course could be improved by providing more guest lecture background information on blackboard, incorporating interactive aspects into lectures, and providing a syl abus that clearly outlined the guest lecturer topics and schedule. Prospective students should know that this 1 credit, pass/fail class is accessible to most students, and attendance is mandatory.
