deb is fairly easy, but her tests are harder than the class. although she does give you extra credit when the tests are low. and the assignments help your grade.

Comment:

Deb is the best econ teacher I have had so far. Econ is a hard subject and she explains it in a way that is easy for you to understand and relate to. Even if you are taking Econ as a genEd it will make since with her teaching. It isnt the easiest class but def. worth taking.

I thought she was great at teaching. Always prepared and energetic. Definitely difficult to approach at times but if you work with her she'll work with you. Learned a lot. Take her she's one of the best JMU has to offer.

Comment:

I struggled through this class because she seemed to rush through the topics and the lectures seemed somewhat artificial. I could have sworn I earned a C+ in this class but I pulled through with an A-. Go figure. Nice lady though.

Great teacher, very cheerful and always willing to take extra time to review what students don't understand. Takes class time to review before exam, gives great review sheets before midterms. DEFINITELY take her if you need GECON 200

Comment:

Has a really effective lecture style, and brings across material in a way that works even for people that will never take another ECON class in their life. It won't be a sleigh ride, but it won't kill you. I definitely recommend her.

Very cheerful teacher, even at 8 AM. And very enthusiastic about teaching. The class is interesting especially when it ties in with 332, and she does a good job breaking it down in case you don't understand.

she was teamed with chappell, so my class is able to understand half of the stuff they teach. much better at teaching than chappel, but still equally hard. they have FEW office hours, so that sucks. again, read the chapters! and go to class!

Good teacher. Not very personal but wants to make sure that everyone understands the material. Knows how to explain things so that they seem trivial. Helpful and a nice lady.

Comment:

She is a really nice lady, she teaches the stuff methodically but quite frankly I dont think she is quite the savy on more complex problems other than the one she will present to you in class. Shes good though, if you want an easy A take her.

if you have to take econ 372, take HER! but do it during may session. She lets class out after 2 hours (remember there supposed to be 3) and she stays the extra hour for anyone who wants help with the hw. I was a WASTE OF LIFE may session and got a B
