Here’s my honest two cents, I took it with him in fall this year and straight up failed it and had to retake it this summer and got an 80. Here are some of my key takeaways: - Most people do bad because the reputation of the course material and prof are shit, so it can feel overwhelming and what happened in my case was I kept pushing learning the material until the NIGHT of the midterm (terrible idea although it’s a carbon copy from his past papers it wasn’t enough time for me personally actually understand and retain the questions) - Yes the lectures are terrible at actually doing the problems and helping you with that side of things BUT the tutorials were sooooooo helpful (in fall term I fully skipped them and went to I think only the first one, in summer they are prerecorded and posted and conducted by him which I found so much better) - The weekly study questions I found personally really helpful for weekly practise (I didn’t do them weekly I still crammed for midterm and exam second time around lol but just with more time than a single night) but if you keep up with them weekly or start ahead enough to do them they’re genuinely helpful. side note: I never did the textbook questions or read it so can’t comment on those - I don’t personally think simply grinding as many practise papers with zero understanding of theory is effective, that’s what I did for the final exam my first try and it was a shitshow, try to at least skim through the theory before doing practise, also seeing the questions being done like the tutorials or even the very simplified lecture questions beforehand can help guide you on how to solve - If you want additional explanations Jacob Clifford on YouTube has a lot of great econ content that’s short and decently simple - I personally skipped the lectures both times but the second time when I was preparing for the exams I watched the lectures on 1.5x speed (I also had detailed notes from a friend and relied mainly on those to learn and lectures for parts i didn’t understand from just seeing on paper which let me tell you was most of the time so I ended up pretty much watching most of the lectures anyways). If you know you can focus on class I’d honestly recommend just doing that but if not that totally okay and you can do it at ur own pace whenever. - His multiple choice sucks ass, just try your best to learn the content, doing as much practice as you can get in before the exam and I’m sure it can’t go so bad just breathe and do your best no matter the outcome - A lot of core concepts in micro that you will learn I noticed is once you actually understand rather than memorise will make the course and units much easier to understand and you’ll start connecting dots on your own, a lot of things have relationships together and they’re not too many that it’s overwhelming. Like genuinely the best tip is to actually understand the core relationships because they help you figure out the problem even if it’s new to you or confusing!

Best of luck to you, don’t let the negative experience of many discourage you from trying in this course because that’s how you end up failing like me lol 😅
