Fecking hard.You must not think like a student, think like an economist. There are many variables/formulas in money and banking. Focus on them as they relate to occuring in the real world.

the material is tricky and there is a lot of it, but Stahl tries to incorporate eveything into recent events with economic releases, etc.. Lots of work if economics isn't your strong point..

I got close to 100% in the first two Econ's. Stahl puts on a great show during class and enjoys the subject, but *the tests do not represent the material.* Questions are overly convoluted. Other professors let their students know what to expect.

ECON 2035 IS THE DEVIL. Don't take this class unless you absolutely have to. Also, don't take Stahl unless you have his old tests. That's the only way I passed. Prepare to hate your life during this class.

Stahl is the most horrible teacher I have ever had at LSU. He teaches as if everyone who takes his class are supposed to be economics prodigies before they walk in the door. He DOES NOT care about his students at all! STAHL IS A DOUCHE BAG!

Dr. Stahl is not that hard as everybody says..Believe me you'll have to go to class and study after it!! the best way is to read the text at least twice!! I got a F in my first exam and a low C in my second, but I got two 90s cuz I read the book!!

Stahl can be tough but is not as bad as everyone says. Studying old tests is the ONLY way to make a good grade. Going to class can help but can also confuse you. Tough class but don't be scared of Stahl!

Stahl is a little arrogant, but knows what he's talking about. He doesn't just read straight from the book like most econ teachers, but actually goes indepth and explains the material so you understand the concepts.

Stahl is not as bad as everyone says. He is definately arrogant, but does generally care about his students. Tests are hard, but can be worked through with reason. If you don't like him its because you don't like to learn.

He talks soooo fast and spastic like. Plus he thinks everyone in his class is there to earn a PHD in economics one day so he make test questions as hard as possible. And you have to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal!! Like $34.95 or something!!

This man wants you to think he is the God of Economics and bow down to his greatness. His tests are PRE-averaged to 70's. Find someone who can communicate already mind-numbing material better. Period. End of Sentence.

First "C" I ever made. Going to class is a waste of my time. The only way to do half way decently on any exam is to find an old test b/c some of the questions are identical. If at all possible, DO NOT take Stahl.

I've had some horrible teacher in my college career, but Stahl is probably the worst and Econ classes are all about the teachers you get. Tests are ridiculous, he doesn't know the answers to some of his own questions. Avoid if possible

Ludicrous teaching, communication, and testing. I think he sits in his office,then thinks how to make his students lives a living hell, and does that evil "Doctor Evil" laugh from Austin Powers. Don't expect a B or C if you don't ready everything.
