Paul Krugman Unpopular Among His Own Students

I stumbled across Paul Krugman's RateMyProfessor page today. Here are some of my favorite reviews:

"Milton Friedman is rolling over in his grave."

"avoid at all costs. he routinely came to class unprepared, clearly had thought little about what he was to teach that day (much less how), and broadcast the impression that he was showing up only to justify his professor's salary. universities hire people like krugman as "prestige" professors and con't care whether they actually can teach."

"Boring lectures, Krugman believes he has the answers to everything and does not encourage open discussion"

"He's deadwood, not an active researcher. Princeton students deserve more than a newpaper columnist, no matter what are his political beliefs. This was the home of Einstein and krugman is a disgrace to this legacy"

"definitely not a brilliant mind"

"May sound somewhat intelligent in his NYT columns, but a terrible lecturer."
