I took multiple economics classes in high school and hated them because of the dry course content and abstract concepts you had to understand. Rush manages to make this information both compelling and easy enough to understand, and due to exams making up 80% of the grade for the course, the workload besides watching lectures and doing practice problems before exams is minimal.

Rush is a great professor. As someone who is not interested in finance or business, it is very inspiring to see a professor who takes this much joy from teaching students about new concepts and has a real interest in his subject material.

Course is not that difficult, just make sure you study for the exams using previous ones and watch the lectures. I ended up with an "A-" because I was lazy lol. StudyEdge was also a great resource to prepare for the exams but it's not entirely necessary.

Professor Rush makes the course pretty interesting throwing in jokes in the recorded lectures and presenting the content as well as connecting it to real-world issues. He does a really good job of covering what will be on the exams and responds to email questions about content fairly quickly. He also bumped my grade from a B+ to an A- without me asking.

Professor Rush's lectures were informative and actually entertaining to sit through. Take notes on his lectures, do the practice questions, make use of the index card he lets you bring to the exam, and you won't fail this class.

This course is amazing! Lectures are fun and Rush makes econ a lot more bearable. The only grades are the 3 exams, so make sure to study the practice exams tons - the question formats are the same, just with different scenarios. Also, utilize the notecard you're allowed to write notes on, it's a lifesaver. The textbook is boring but luckily you can just read it and then take notes on his lectures, that's the majority of the test questions anyways.

Dr. Rush is fantastic - I am not at all interested in econ, finances, business, etc. but he made the class really easy to get through. He is funny!

Don't wait until the last second to study - start reviewing practice exams at least a few weeks ahead of an exam.
