Terrible prof! she's preachy and biased, marks insanely hard, and is ambiguous with her MC questions. Avoid her at all costs, this course brought down my average for the year by 7%

Great prof, teaches well. Tells you specifically what you are gonna be tested on. Her multiple choice questions are tougher than you would expect and the short answers are easier. Final exam is full multiple choice.

Fair prof, go to her class and you will do well. All of the notes that only appear in class show up on the exam. I recommend going to her office hours, she gives away exam questions.

Comment:

class was monday night from 7-10pm. she regularly went past 10pm. Her lectures put me to sleep. Her slides were easy enough to follow and the textbook was fine but it didn't help on exams. she took concepts that were mentioned in passing and based exams on them. would not recommend. Went to every lecture, still bombed the course.

Comment:

If you're a student who misses a lot of class, her courses will be very difficult to do well in. But, If you come to every class she makes it clear of what is expected of you to do well. Her office hours are great. There are no stupid questions which made it easier to learn quicker. If you come to class, work hard, she is a great prof to have!

terrible prof, Her exams were harder than other class and there were only a small portion of MQ, the rest of the exam were all terribly graded short answers. also her postings are a mess, she cannot even name the lecture files in a clear way. always got econ grade in 90+ but only got 70 at her class.

Pretty good prof in terms of getting the material across. Her PowerPoints are pretty clear. Don't bother with the text book, she scanned all the HW questions and posted online. Multiple Choice questions are pretty tricky on her midterms, but she does have some short answer that are very manageable.

Comment:

This woman is a freaking all-star. I had literally 0 interest in Econ prior to taking this class (was compulsory for my module). Never opened the textbook, GO TO LECTURE!! Exams were 100% lecture based (you could read the book instead but that's stupid), she gave practice exams for all midterms and finals. Wants students to succeed. Awesome prof.

Terrible overall, slides were of little use and were much too easy compared to the test material, gave brutal practice prior to exams which were far too easy, and evaluations were very difficult. Avoid if you can

If you attend class, you will do well. The course is easy to follow along and you get a ton of practice before the exam. Extensive use of short-forms may be confusing if you haven't had her before. Excellent prof.

From day 1 she tells you if you come to every class you don't need the textbook - she's dead serious you're fine without it. she posts 2 prior exams so you have the exam style down. clear, fair, and easy.

Comment:

Worst professor I have had, not because she can't teach but the stuff she teaches and stuff in the textbook is only half of whats on her exams! She puts impossible MC questions on that involve high level of math knowledge (i would know i took a full year of calc and am in science) u can know every word in text and lecture and not do well on her MC
