<p>The Undergraduate Advising Head for Economics, Prof. Coiner is one of the most popular professors at Brandeis. He often teaches the Intro class and he’s really funny and a really good teacher. I’m trying to take a class he offers on Economcis of Education as a non-econ major senior because I enjoyed that class (which also fulfills the quantitative reasoning distribution requirement) He’s also known to be very approachable, I’ve seen him sometimes chatting with students while having lunch in the student dining hall. I also really liked when I took Econ 2a that he held review sessions before exams himself.
Next Sunday, Professor Mankiw, the well-known Harvard prof who wrote the book used in that class, is coming to campus as part of a panel to discuss the economic issues related to Obama’s first 100 days in Office.
I also know I believe 2 Brandeis undergrads who TA’d in the Intro class as juniors, so that would be another opportunity.</p>
