    For those of you who have/had EC4004 today, you're rather lucky to have a lecturer who is willing to field exam questions on twitter less than 24 hours before the exam.

    Some exam related tweets can become funny or involve the use of the word dude

    He did this for financial economics last semester too it helped me get an A because I was one of two people tweeting him I could ask whatever I wanted. To be fair though hes the best lecturer I have had in UL by miles the interaction he has with the class is crazy and I think he genuinely cares about students he is fairly strict though in a good way!

    You don't need to pass tomorrow's #ec4004 exam to pass overall, but I wouldn't recommend it as a strategy.

    :pac:

    Over my 4 years of Business Studies I had some fairly dire lecturers but there's always an exception to prove the rule and this guy was it. I got a B2 in his module, for every other economics module I had in the 4 years I either failed or barely passed.

    Also has a great sense of humour too - he gave out his phone number in Week 1 or 2 and said if we had any questions to text them in and he'd answer them in class. I took the opportunity to text in something that had nothing to do with the course and when he brought it up in the lecture he just laughed along and gave an equally humorous riposte.

    an all-round good guy
