The tests and problem sets are old and not based on anything he covers in class. He also shows apathy about the class and student understanding. If you want to learn this subject, do not take it with him.

I loved the course it was insightful and interesting. Prof. Kutsoati is a great teacher, he clarifies things well and the math is not that serious at all, the material is pretty straight forward and the exams follow the problem sets so when you're good with that, there are not tricks! If you're going for finance definitely take it.
Workload:
A few problem sets, like 2 or 3 exams and he is always available to help and very enthusiastic, one of the best I had at Tufts!

Prof Kutsoati is a decent professor. He has a good humor, and is very understanding. Not always the best at lecturing, you might get bored with the subject, but compared to most professors in the econ department he is golden. He has good office hours, almost always available to help. This class is a fairly important class to take if you?re heading into finance, since it explains stuff like value over time, different stock and bonds, etc. He is a very easy grader. And usually lets you choose between questions on a test.
Workload:
A few problem sets that aren't too bad. Not much reading. No papers. Two midterms, one final.

Prof. Richards is pretty amusing but he uses the same jokes every year. The notes get very repetitive. You only have to go to class about every other day. Recitations are helpful depending on your TA.
Workload:
Not a lot of work at all. A problem set a week and 2 exams plust the final.

If you want to learn anything about this topic, don't take it with Richards. The problem sets, which are filled with errors, are not like the exams. The averages are very low. Richards is very snide and doesn't really care about student progress.

Richards, a Yale and MIT man, knows macroeconomics and economic schools of thought and presents them well. He is, however, a little confused when it comes to policy (expect to hear how good social security can be), and a little confused politically (you may still be able to read about the Florida recount on his door).
There are two good reasons to go class: his lectures are much more helpful than the book, plus he makes frequent references to drugs and alcohol.
Workload:
Grades are based completely on tests, which aren't too bad if you do the problem sets.

If you are looking to learn about financial, etc - don't take it with him. He is not helpful with problem sets or exams, which have averages in the 60's. Basically if you take this class you're wasting your time
