All around great course. I thought it was a little easier than game theory since it’s more applicable to real life. Problem sets are difficult but he grades liberally. There is a presentation component that can be a little challenging depending on what topic you choose. Exams are pretty in line with practice, although there is usually one question that wasn’t on the practices that forces you to apply the material. Overall interesting and rewarding class.

I found this class super interesting. Gray makes it easy to follow and the exams are easier than other Econ Strat classes. I always looked forward to this class

Translates material very well, very reasonable, teaches and lectures well. Is always available to help and seems to have great expertise in the material. Would recommend. An upper division class, so obviously expect some more work (weekly Problem Sets) but very manageable overall if you put in the effort.
