Review:
I feel that some of the bad reviews of Professor Zabel are unwarranted. His course is one of the most challenging in the economics department, and he expects much from his students. I agree that he assigns a heavy workload, and the average exam grades hover around 70. However, I for one did not come to Tufts to have my hand held through my classes. Zabel engages the class more often than many of his colleagues in the department, and he is quite fair. One negative is that it can be burdensome to print out all the notes for the class (I stopped midway through the semester), but he covers a lot of ground throughout the semester. I learned more and worked harder in Zabel's class than in many other economics courses.

Workload:
Weekly homework assignments, two exams, final empirical project. More work than an average class.
