"[Maxwell] is very fun and pretty hilarious, but actually teaches well, this is probably because he is so engaging with the students, bet econ professor I have had definitely."
"I am a senior and taking 9 hours this semester. Despite this course being my earliest class (at 8:20am), it is the only class that I actually go to. Maxwell has fostered an engaging and positive learning environment, so much so that I enjoy coming to class even though attendance is not mandatory. This is also one of the only classes that I actually have ever spoken at Texas A&M and Maxwell is the second professor I have ever had that actually knows my name."
"[Maxwell] has been one of my favorite professors this semester and in past semesters when I had him as a TA. He does a great job of making the class engaging and fun for all students by creating fun alternative ways to learn. I would greatly recommend his classes to future students considering taking his courses."
"This course covers some challenging topics. That being said, it was clear that Maxwell had a deep understanding for the material and was able to effectively teach it to our class."
"Max is my favorite professor I've had while at TAMU. He understands his audience since he is also a student, and his lectures are engaging and interesting. I never thought I would look forward to going to a lecture about public finance, but every class he makes even the most boring concepts interesting. He has a great sense of humor and it keeps everyone's attention during lecture. [...] Again, its not because of the material, but Max's teaching that keeps the class interesting."
