I have taught
macroeconomics, international finance and econometrics at Berkeley (final grades are available through Bearfacts).
At
Haas, I am currently teaching the ever-popular (check
out
“Best
Course”) core “Macroeconomics in the Global Economy” BA201b.
In 1999
and 2012 I won the Cheit
Award for Outstanding Teaching in the Haas MBA program (I was also a
finalist in 1993, 1994, 1996,
2001,
and
2008;
check out
my
“All-Star” rating). I have inspired haiku while
teaching
the neoclassical growth model (and another
while
teaching the business cycle model), and also an
in-class Bingo
game.

(Global Macroeconomics) students can obtain the following:
- A PDF
copy of the syllabus and course outline for the Evening MBA program for Spring 2013.

- My more
recent Teaching Instructor Evaluation Service (TIES)
ratings are available in a graphical format, but only to those in the
Haas domain. In 2000, I taught sections at
8:00
and 9:30;
ditto
for
2001
(8:00
and 9:30
sections); and finally for 2002 (8:00
and 9:30). I also taught the Berkeley-Columbia
macro
class
in
Fall
2002. In Spring 2003 I taught the Monday
and Tuesday
Evening program, and one
section
of
the
weekend
program. In Spring 2004, I taught the entire
daytime core, sections 1,
2,
3,
and
4. In Spring 2006, I again taught the
entire daytime core, sections 1,
2,
3,
and
4. Once more in Spring 2008, I taught the entire
daytime core, sections 1,
2,
3,
and
4.
In
the
Fall
of
2008,
I
taught
the
Berkeley-Columbia core. In the Spring of 2010, I taught sections 1,
2,
3,
and
4
of the fulltime MBA program. In the Fall of 2010, I taught the Berkeley-Columbia core. In the Fall of 2011, I also taught the Berkeley-Columbia core.
