Comment:

Prof Hogan is very straightforward and organized. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, if you miss class you'll miss information that you can't really find anywhere else. She goes fast, but she explains things well. She gives a study guide at the beginning of the semester and sticks to it. There are four exams and four quizzes (noncumulative).

Comment:

Took her b/c of the high scores but almost instantly regretted it. Class was easy but time consuming. She uses her review questions to make her exams and she gives you the answers to all of the review questions. However, if you miss something, it's hard to find the answer elsewhere. Book is useless. Show up to class and take good notes.

Comment:

Prof. Hogan wants students to succeed and makes her lectures as interesting as she possibly can (even though econ is a drag.) Class is graded on four tests so make sure you don't bomb one. She gives review questions that you can follow during class and she gives the answers to them but you have to pay attention to lecture. Study and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Whenever she used examples, she went in to much detail and sometimes she used to literally yell at the students to express her feelings about how some of the decisions politicians have made and are still making. The course is based only on TESTS (4) which makes the students' life very hard when it comes to maintaining their grades.

Comment:

You have to memorize, in fine detail, every single bit of the lectures. 100% of the lectures are on the test (About 15-20 Microsoft Word pages worth per test plus graphs and the book). If you miss a small part of a multipart question, you are heavily penalized. This includes memorizing/replicating full graphs and their keys. Rediculus.

Comment:

Professor Hogan is a straight forward teacher. Pay close attention during lecture and take notes about everything because your notes will help you answer all her review questions. Her review questions are what she uses to make her tests so attend lecture! Only flaw about this class is that if you mess up on one exam its hard to get to a solid A

Comment:

No work assigned other than 4 exams. She gives review questions way before hand but there are A LOT of things to memorize. Attendance isnt graded but youll miss a lot of info if you miss just one class. Im usually a straight A student but this has been by far the most stressful class i have ever taken. avoid at all costs.

Just study all the notes she gives you in class and you'll be good. She doesn't want to trick anyone, she just wants to make sure you understand the material. Overall she is very nice, and will help you if you put in the effort.

Comment:

This professor is a good lecturer, but like others have mentioned, she's tough. Unless you have memory like an elephant and can remember every little detail in lecture. Her exams are literally from her review questions, each exam is comprised of roughly anywhere from 75-100 review questions and some review questions consists of 3-4 within each one

Comment:

While she is nice and tells some jokes the class is pretty boring. 4 exams and nothing else. Be prepared to memorize a lot of small details about topics that were skimmed over in class. As a straight-A student who aced ECON201, this was by far my most difficult and unforgiving class. Avoid if possible, unless you can remember every little detail.

Comment:

Horrible experience that I hope not to go through again. The class was extremely boring all she did was talk as if she had them memorized. So if you think your going to be understanding the material and be tested on what you understood this is not for you. It's all about memorizing

Really straight forward class and she is a good lecturer. Although she curves students grades upwards, you cannot do bad on one exam. The class is composed of 4 exams, fail one, and there goes your grade. No extra credit is offered either.

Shes super nice and some what bubbly with corny jokes that you'll find yourself giggling at. Like one of the other reviews, theres 4 exams including the final and no homework, no quizzes. She gives lengthy study guides DO THESE AND YOU WILL DO GOOD or dont and drop the class cause you messed up on the exams. (me)Dont be me. Study and you will pass.

Great professor, wants all students to succeed and pass. Uses the old version of the book to save you money. Makes worksheets to do in class and gives a study guide which if done will result in an easy A. Show up, take notes, and do the reviews you'll pass. Makes Econ an easy and painless class for all. Highly recommended.

Comment:

She was fair and reasonable. Only 4 tests... if you screw up one, there goes your A. She kinda tests your memorization skills than anything. DONT DO THE MISTAKE OF TAKING HER CLASS LIGHTLY IN THE START. The first test felt like a blow off, but the second test made me work... and I studied more for the second one. Just memorize and ud be good

Don't ever take her. Unless you live to cram for tests and LOVE to memorize long lists and facts then she is for you. If you're normal don't take her. She's boring to listen to in lecture and the class is solely based off of memorization, not how well do you understand this like it should be. Take someone else.

Amazing professor! Can not recommend enough. I am an Engineer and not a person fan of Econ but I walked away learning a lot of (actually) interesting things. No hw, only 4 tests make up your grade. Do her 80ish practice problems per test with a friend and you'll ace it. She keeps the class light and interesting and is very willing to help.

Quuaaantity Demaaanded! Hogan is great, you will learn from her lectures though they can get boring and seem to drag on. Its Econ, get used to it. Study well for the exams and you should do good. No nonsense clear cut type of person, if you study the material and ask engaging questions she is easy to get along with.
