Selected comments from teaching evaluations
"Flavio is passionate not only about the subject matter but also about his students and whether they are taking back something from the class or not. It is refreshing to attend his classes and his exams tickle the brain in a positive way, encouraging learning more than memorizing! Loved taking the class" Spring 2025
"Flavio is a great lecturer and spends a lot of time in class ensuring that he fully explains topics with good examples. He often will go over a specific idea with a worked out example so we know how to apply things on homeworks and exams" Spring 2025
"One of the best 400-level economics courses I have taken. All course material was well organized, practical exercises were relevant, and homework helped me to learn material, instead of just being part of my grade. He did well encouraging us to go to class and office hours, and was always willing to help us understand material" Fall 2024
"The instructor strongly encourages reaching out for help and incentivizes students to do their best. Flavio sets students up to succeed by using homework to enforce lecture topics and testing directly what it is thoroughly discussed in class. The extra credit forecasting games are a great concept to give students experience forecasting real world data without the pressure of 10-20% of your grade riding on it" Fall 2024
"The instructor did a great job being available to students to help them better understand the material. He cared that we learned the content and succeeded" Fall 2024
"I loved Flavio since he was always willing to help me, which was a great sign of care" Spring 2023
