“Tristan is by far the most approachable and passionate instructor I’ve had the pleasure of studying under at the University. The rapport he has with the class and his matter-of-fact way of explaining the content really help in maintaining interest AND comprehension levels even toward the end of the term; furthermore, Tristan truly is passionate about the field and is always available outside of class if you ever want to talk with him about any questions during the class or the possibility of pursuing a future in the field.”

“By far the best teacher I’ve had at the U of O. For the first time since I started at the U of O, I feel like I got my money’s worth for a class. I came out of class more knowledgeable on the study of economics and am able to engage in real world material with a better understanding of how the economy works. The only area for possible improvement is that the University should allow Tristan to teach more classes in the economics department. I feel the student body as a whole would benefit greatly from his teaching and work ethic.”
