Teaching

Public Choice Theory

• "I really enjoyed that I got to take this class during a Presidential Election as it forced me to pay more attention to the political climate than I normally would. I am not super involved or invested or informed about political things, but found myself a little more knowledgeable in current US topics because of class discussions. I really enjoyed that we learned about current events but always evaluated everything through an economic way of thinking. The tests were a LOT of writing, but Dr. Wallace seems to be a very fair grader..."

• "I really enjoyed this course. Since this is Dr. Wallace's first semester teaching, I did not know what to expect going into the course, but I was so pleasantly surprised by him. He was a really great professor for this course and he made the content relevant and interesting. He also took the time to invest in his students and find out more about the topics that were interesting to them. I enjoyed our discussions of politics in class and I felt like I learned to articulate political arguments well using a public choice lens. The tests seemed overwhelming at first since they were very writing-heavy, but the test questions made sense and came straight from lecture material. As long as you came to class and participated, you could do well on the tests. I would highly recommend this course to other Econ students."

• "Dr. Wallace is a great teacher. He broadened my understanding of public choice. He cares about his students success and keeps relent topics and current events in class. My favorite part of taking this course with Dr. Wallace is that he value student discussion. Many other professors do not give the students time to deliberate and talk with one another. Dr. Wallace does a great job of letting us all talk about the topics in class and it makes the class 1000x more interesting. 10/10 would take again."

Economics of State and Local Government

• "I like that the course was not based on power points and was instead notes taken on the board with the professor. This made the material easier to understand and facilitated interaction with the professor. I also believe this stimulated the class's interest on the subject. Cullen Wallace did a great job teaching the course."

• "The very best teacher I have ever had at FSU, inspiring teacher with great teaching methods and a friendly personality. Does not test to see if you have absolutely learned and are an expert of a subject but rather tests if you are learning which in turn inspires students to try harder."

• "Cullen Wallace was an excellent teacher who was clearly knowledgable and passionate about the course material which made the topics more interesting."

• "Absolutely incredible course. It has easily been one of my favorites in my time here. Cullen makes it very easy to get passionate about whatever topic he addresses because he presents so clearly and with such detail. He does a very good job of making sure his students understand concepts before moving along."

• "Nothing about his instructional methods need improvement in my opinion! I enjoyed his methods of working on the whiteboard each class because it made you come to class for the course materials and it was very engaging to go through the topics together as a class rather than having a powerpoint up."

• "I will highly recommend his classes to other students and I will look to see if he teaches other than what I have already taken."

• "Professor Wallace did a very good job at answering difficult technical/fringe questions that I had regarding the topics we covered in class."
