Review:
Clearly Econometrics is a difficult subject, but I have to say this was my single FAVORITE economics class I've taken at Tufts, and I'm a Quant Ec major. The reason is Prof. Zabel. While some may find him harsh and unwilling to help, I found him exactly the opposite. He consistently cracked jokes in class and had a level of respect for students higher than that of most professors. If you can't handle good-natured ribbing, then you should probably shy away, but every time I visited him with questions he was very helpful, and ALWAYS encouraged students to come to him for help, especially on the Empirical Project at the end of the semester. Please take the poor reviews of Prof Zabel with a grain of salt. If you have any affinity for statistics and aren't looking to blame your poor performance in the class on the Prof, you will probably love Zabel.

Workload:
Weekly problem sets, 2 quizzes, 2 midterms and a final empirical project.
