Awful
I wasn't sure at first whether I should choose this class or not based on ratemyprofessor but after taking the class, Austin is not really a good professor. Going to class is only for participants and tips or else just don't go because its never helpful at all. He is confused with his own explanation and his explanations are very confusing.
Awful
Careful with Professor Boyle. Not a great teacher and on top he has a bad temper.
Average
The class test average is unusually low for Econ 102, and not surprisingly even though Dr. Boyle is nice and means well, he rushes through lectures and doesn't give the best examples. I sincerely wish I would had taken advice from the other reviewers and taken this class with a different professor. I ended up even more confused when I asked for help.
Good
Prof. Boyle is amazing! However, some homework questions are difficult and you'll have to think out of the regular situation. You can get good grades by going to his office hour though. Final exam is similar to the past ones and he would give you former semesters versions. You will be fine as long as you practice and spend time on the course.
Poor
Professor Boyle may be a good person, but I do not like his teaching style. His lectures are boring and you have to study again afterward. Luckily, the best thing about his class is the grading system. He drops two quizzes. Quizzes are similar to practice exams and can be helpful. Honestly, you can do well in this class if you can withstand the stress.
