Great professor! I was really scared of Game Theory because it is a hard course, but he taught it so well, everything made sense. Tests were really fair, lectures were engaging, and office hours were always open and helpful. I would definitely take this class again!

Andy Gray is straight up the best professor I've had in Olin so far. Unbelievable lecturer, nicest guy, and he cares so much. He's like that guy who is really cute but doesn't even know it--but with teaching. He has such a gift for teaching, but also the mentality of someone who is trying to improve themselves every day. It's so inspiring.

Professor Gray's class is designed for you to learn. The lectures are clear, concise, and well planned and you can tell that he cares about and understands on a high level the material being taught. Semi-weekly problem sets helped ensure I was understanding and engaging with the material so I didn't have to study as much when the exams arrived.

Class is fine but often focuses on examples and scenarios that will not be relevant on exams. Notes for studying for exams are terrible. For a cumulative final, half the "solutions" were literally "see class notes," meaning you are expected to dig through three months of material to find explanations or definitions.

The professor is extremely helpful, both in class and after class. Teaching is great, though with thick Italian accent and pace is slow. Grading is not clear enough. Class notes are enough for preparing for exams and ecommended textbook is not very helpful.Overall, it is a great course.

Thick italian accent makes it hard to understand at time but she teaches very well.
