Dr. Paul Gift is a talented Adjunct Professor teaching economics in Pepperdine's MBA program. Economics was the hardest class to date in the MBA program. I struggled with concepts that were new to me. I am actually happy with a B, I feared much worse. Dr. Gift is the best teacher I have had while in Pepperdine’s program. He is a good lecturer, and is able to teach a complex subject in a way that invites further inquiry. I actually like economics now.
I had to study hard for this class; much harder than in any other class so far. Dr. Gifts mid-term and final exam are very difficult. He is after making sure his students understand the subject and can demonstrate their knowledge. Up to this point in my education, I have never taken a test that was so hard, or as stressful. I am glad this class is behind me.
I hope Pepperdine sees the value of bringing Dr. Gift on as a full time professor. In my opinion, their program will be much better off for it.

Big Joe....is this your first B at Pepperdine? Yeah, Gift's class was a tough one...but also a damned good one. I was actually talking with the Commercial Director at work today about incremental cost savings of a new six sigma project. We broke the savings into hard savings (based on variable cost) and soft savigns (basedon fixed costs such as overhead). We actually had a conversation in "economese" and I held my own. Thanks GIFT!
