Comment:

ECON2770 was a joke. No structure to her lectures, she repeatedly would start a question with 5 minutes left in class and then just pick right up with the question two days later. Would spend 30 minutes of class time doing a problem and then after we all frantically wrote it down she would explain its not necessary to know for this course. Terrible

One of the hardest courses Ive ever taken. The textbook and lecture content differed. Weekly online quizzes vary from what was lectured that week. 50% final. No idea how I pulled off 80%

Comment:

Detestable. Do not take this professor under any circumstance. I should have known based off the controversy around her F17 2310 class, but took her anyways. Do not make the same mistake. Tests are nothing like the material taught and quizzed on. 50% final was the hardest I have ever written. Terrible online quiz software. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Comment:

In all fairness, she does seem like a nice person, however, when it comes to teaching, she has unrealistic expectations. Lectures and assignments cover the basics concepts but the exams test you on things not covered and extremely complex.

Comment:

She is the worst prof I've had here. Her lectures are hard to follow, the textbook is overly complicated, and her exams are impossible. The online quizzes were really easy, and no help for preparing for the exam. I had to teach myself all the concepts because she never did. Also, she's rude.

Comment:

This professor is not meant to teach, the lectures were hard to follow as she makes a lot of mistakes. She doesn't understand her responsibilities as a professor (i.e. actually posting weekly quizzes on time), the midterms don't reflect the course content well at all and the final, HA what a great way to go out (not). If you can avoid this prof, do

Comment:

If you have her for Intermediate Microeconomics, good luck. She is a decent professor when it comes to teaching in class, but her midterms are absolutely brutal. The textbook or internet both did not help me at all for her short answer questions and the class average was 33% for short answer. Whatever was on that midterm was not in the textbook. GG

Comment:

This was the most soul sucking class I have ever taken. Lectures, textbook, online assignments and exams were not cohesive. She taught one example over and over with different numbers but when the exams came the questions we 10x harder and she expected us to be able to be able to magically be able to translate what little we did into a good grade.

Terrible Professor. What she teaches in class does not equate to the difficulty of the testing material. Horrible. Avoid taking her if you can.

Comment:

Avoid taking this prof if you can. Her disorganized lectures drive me nuts. She also doesn't give any information on the midterms until a few days before. Our course outline was never edited, she just used the old one with incorrect dates and test weight. Her office is an absolute disaster, Papers everywhere I couldn't even put my backpack down.

Comment:

Pretty sure everyone failed her exam. 100 times harder than what was taught in class. People were crying after the exam. Only possible saving of your grade was the quizzes but she had no clue what was on them. The TA was good but she gave him no time to prepare for labs. The lab questions, quizzes and lectures were all on different material.

Comment:

Definitely one of the worst professors I have ever had, and I have has some bad ones. Her lectures are disorganized as she is always making mistakes, which takes up a lot of time when we have to go back through and fix everything. Her midterms and exams do not reflect what she teaches, and are extremely hard. Good luck if you have her

Comment:

In one word? Horrible. The stuff she teaches in the lecture is different from the textbook which is different from the labs which is different from the online quizzes. On top of that the stuff in her lecture is so disorganised and what is taught is different from what you get tested on. Avoid her at all costs.

Not helpful, terrible lectures and very disorganized. If I could personally fire her I would. Learned nothing in her class (and I love Economics).

Thankfully I found the textbook answers online, or I would've failed this class. Marking is ridiculous, you have to explain every thought or get 0.

Worse prof in the world, she shouldn't even teach this course. Almost half the class failed the course, midterm and final exam had nothing to do with the course material.
