Has anyone taken H. Naci Mocan for ECON 4720 (LSU)

I'm scheduled for his Intermediate 4720 Microeconomic Theory class next semester and can't find enough reviews of him in order to form an opinion of him other than the fact that he's one of LSU's 25 highest paid professors making $230,890. Supposedly a huge researcher.
TIA for the responses

AWESOME professor! The most knowledgeable, interesting professor I ever had. His exams are challenging, but you WILL learn more about economics with him, than anyone else! Great experience.

I'm warning everyone to stay away from this man, he killed my 4.0. He is undoubtedly the most intelligent professor I have ever had. However, he is also the most inefficient professor i have ever had, most likely due to the time constraints of his research. He normally teaches all PhD classes and isn't used to undergrad. He gave us our first exam the day of the W drop date and didn't grade it until after spring break. His grading method is incredibly hard to understand, and his test questions extremely ambiguous with all open answers, no multiple choice. Average test average was a 52, although he did curve a bit but never gave feedback from the test. 20 people in our 35 person class dropped before the 1st test and the rest of us were left struggling with little hope to pass. He would go off on random tangents and never taught us the material that was on our final. STAY AWAY!

Are you undergrad? What is your major?
Naci definitely has his own way of doing things. I've never taken a class with him but I have been around him to know that only a specific type of student will do really well in his class.

So you are used to taking hard ECON classes and working your arse off. I've never taken Naci so I couldn't tell you for sure one way or the other. He is a nice enough guy, I just remember wondering where his head was sometimes. If you honestly see yourself being one of the people who will drop because they have no idea what their grade is, I'd steer clear.

I took him and ended up dropping the class. Like someone else said his questions were so ambiguous and open ended. He loves pop quizzes too so if you're one to not keep up w material until around test don't even bother.
