Microeconomics Class

I was blessed to be able to take Prof. Bacon's Microeconomics class. I did not know what to expect of the class at the beginning of the semester, but from the very start I loved the class. He is a phenomenal professor, who's desire for teaching is clearly evident. Adding to his great sense of humor mixed with subtle sarcasm, was the unique structure of the class. Instead of a bunch of boring exams that most people (including me) will cram for and not learn a thing, he structured the class in a way that got every student involved and engaged. Also engaging were his assignments. We had to put what we learned into a context of a poem, a short story, and a Pecha-Kucha Presentation. Because of the atmosphere he created in the classroom, I did not want to miss a class, and learning was actually fun. As a result of Prof. Bacon's class, I have picked up a few tricks in helping me to structure my future classes, and hopefully I will be able to make learning fun for my students.
