I really enjoyed taking this class! Professor Convery is very knowledgeable about the course material and ties it to real life examples as well. He records his lectures which is such a blessing. He's approachable and kind during office hours as well!

Professor Convery is a fantastic professor. You can tell he has mastered the course, cares about whether or not students grasp the material, and has clear and concise lectures. His lectures are very to the point and explain things in concrete ways using examples. His exams are straightforward, fair, and clear. He also provides practice midterms and finals which is great. Would definitely recommend this class to a friend. Super doable Econ upper div.

super easy class, if you learned finance/econ before. No workload and class average is super high

The class is structured with all multiple choice exams being 2 midterms (30% of grade each) and a final (40%). No additional assignments, but he provides practice questions that are pretty similar to the exam questions. If you put in the effort to make a good cheat sheet all of these exams are pretty easy, almost all of the exam solutions can be found in the material he provides, only a handful of questions the entire quarter require application of concepts. Content gets moderately harder after the first midterm but definitely a class that you can cram for a few days before each exam and get a good grade in the class. Would definitely take again, probably one of the easiest econ electives at UCLA.

Highly recommend this elective w/ Convery. He lectures in a very straightforward way and often ties in current events to the class material, so I actually learned something useful. Recorded lectures (although he might stop recording after this quarter), two midterms, one final, and you can use a cheatsheet for all of them. The exams are easy as long as you put in effort into your cheatsheet and run through the practice tests he gives out.

Money and Banking is a challenging course with a lot to cover. As a result, Dr.Convery did not have enough time to review the material thoroughly. Tests are hard. Despite all of these, he gives a generous curve.
