He targeted one girl of African American decent out of an entire class for simple things like putting away her pen. He told her not to return! I really don't recommend this guy but there aren't many options unfortunately! Go to every class, sit far away from him, and try your best to stay on his good side. He's an awful man but knows economics!

Read his packet and do his practice problems in his packet. If you can do his practice sets the tests are easy, nearly identical problems. Use his terminology as well, otherwise you'll lose points. If you don't want to put in some workreading then don't take this guy, but if you don't want to work why are you in college?

this micro econ course was probably the most challenging class ive taken. Ron is a great teacher, who is funny and always keeps you interested. No homework so your whole grade is based on your test grade. If you read the coursepack you will be fine, if you don't you will fail.

Great teacher, knows everything to do with economics. He makes the class worth attending and has a great sense of humor. Do the work and go to class and you will succeed.

I ran away from this guy. He has knowledge of Economics, there is no doubt about that. This man, is one of the most arrogant teachers I've ever ran into in my entire life. Spends 20 minutes of class talking about himself and what he did, tries to relate these stories to class, but the relation is always vague. Tough grader, RUN!!!

Mr. Cipcic is a hard grader..you will have to work for your grade in this class... but he is fair... he gives you the material in the packet plus lecture and also has youtube videos of the lectures. He is willing to help students but you have to put in the effort yourself before he will help. if youre looking for an easy A this is not the class.

This class is hard whether or not you study and the likelihood of failing is great because there are no projects, all points come from tests. I would not recommend this teacher. He talks to himself and embarrasses students that ask questions in class.

One word: RUN. Do not take him. He is an arrogant, self centered man. Told an African kid that he might be able to be late in Africa but not here.. Not right. He is so closed minded he makes it uncomfortable to ask and questions about things you dont understand. I do not at all recommend taking this professor. I tell everyone to stay away.

Mr. Cipcic is not an easy professor. But if you go to his office hours, attend class, do practice problems out of his packet, you'll do fine. If you're not willing to work hard, don't take this class.

He teaching style is great but he personality sucks. Make sure to stay on his good side. Lots of studying outside of class, daily quizzes happen a lot. you wont know when they are unless you go to class.

You have to buy the class packet. But you don't have to buy book! His class isn't easy but it's fair. As long as you go to class and do the packet work you will do well. His lectures are crystal clear. Also he is somewhat entertaining. Definitely not a boring monotone instructor. P.s. I would definitely not want to start a debate with this guy.

A hard professor, knows what he wants and does not settle for anything less. Has his own course pack that he teaches from. Requires a lot of studying if you are not familiar with the information. Do what is expected of you and pass don't and you will fail. Only helps if you are showing an effort. Overall liked the professor though.

I had him for both macro and micro. hard class because you actually have to read, show up to class, and cant cheat! loved the workbook. it has all of the practice problems you will need to study. even tells you what is going to be on the final. just have to STUDY! helpful outside of class and wants you to succeed!

Definitely, study the material in his book. If you read each unit and do the SA quiz's you will easily pass his exams and understand his lectures way better. He is cocky, but he knows what he is talking about so attend class and TAKE NOTES! You will pass if you actually read his book. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

I've heard that he's a tough teacher. I have had Mr. Cipcic for two classes and wish he taught more classes! You MUST keep up with the lectures and do all your homework. If you come to class and pay attention you'll do fine. He's one of the best at Valley!

One of those classes where you have to pay attention and study outside of class, at least to get a 4.0. The class was very fun though. Cipcic is very funny and keeps class interesting so you never fall asleep...or he will throw a marker cap at you :P Loved the class, already signed up to take micro with him!

As a teacher: Great! He is one of the only prof's I had here at KVCC that actually has standards. Go to class every day, do ALL reading and assignments then you will do fine. As a person: A huge butthead. He can be arrogant at times. Whatever you do, don't challenge him. He will never give up! Still one of the top professors at KVCC.

Mr. Cipcic is one of the better teachers I have have had at KVCC. Very nice and helpful guy if you are really trying to learn. It's not a hard class and he offers a very affordable textbook. If you attend class regularly and read your book, he will go out of his way to help you with anything you don;t understand. Don't believe the haters!

Completely fair. If you read and do the work you'll get a good grade. Took him for macro and taking him again for micro.
