Comments
Overall: A
The class was extremely interesting.  The professor went out of his way to relate the course material to current events (i.e., articles in the NY Times or the Wall Street Journal).  He was incredible! 
 
Should do to do well...
The student should be prepared (i.e., read the materials and do the assigned problems) and show up for class.  The student should not expect to be spoon fed the material that he/she needs to know for the exams. 
 
Should know...
Pay attention in class and take good notes.  It is not just in the books.  You can not “teach yourself” the course two days before the exam.
