Comment:

Initially she comes off as super intimidating and unnecessarily strict. However, she had a librarian come in twice to let students give feedback, and her lectures improved substantially. She really cares about students. Take this class and you will learn alot and do well if you apply yourself. Tests are tough but fair, nothing unexpected.

Comment:

Maria is the professor you're not going to like. Her teaching is balderdash, her materials are littered w/ errors, and she's living in an autocracy. Tune out her prose. She will ridicule you - just smile. Just grind the HW out, and solve her models. It's micro: the content is actually useful.

I've loved pretty much every prof I've had at WLU, but i'm still so salty and amazed at how Laurier has continued to employ this sad excuse of a professor (oh wait did someone say tenure?)... I don't mind that she wants you to attend class... She's simply the most unapproachable, miserable professor i've ever had.

Strict so make sure you attend lectures and take notes while you're there. Lots of typos. But she is very nice, lectures well and has fair exams. Has excellent review sessions. Overall underrated, definitely not 2.2.

If you put in the effort, you'll do well. Not a course you can teach yourself few days before the finals....

Comment:

I loved the class, it was a great class. I did the readings and followed along and did well on the first 2 midterms and had a B. Then came the final. Half the class failed, those that passed still did not do well, no bell curve at all, I ended up with a D. Beware....

Comment:

One of the best economics profs I've encountered at Laurier. She is thorough in her lectures and is always more than willing to help students out of class with assignments or course material. She is very approachable and one of the few profs who cares to get to know their students. Wish I would have taken 3rd year game theory with her as well!

Shows no respect to students. Only provides useless answers with tons of mistakes. Avoid her if you can take ECON401 in UW.

If you don't have to take a class taught by her then don't. I've never had a prof i've disliked as much as this one.

Worst prof out there, arrogant and unapproachable.. hard to pay attention in her classes. Don't take a course with her if you don't have to.

Comment:

If you are one minute late for lecture she will close the doors to the hall and harass you upon entering. This is fine for the students who don't have a class prior. But if one is in the Double Degree with Waterloo and given ten minutes to go from campus to campus it's impossible. Complained to Laurier regarding the harassment but was ignored.

Comment:

It doesn't really matter who your prof is for econ since you can learn all material from the text by yourself. You go to lectures for the clicker marks. Get a cheap source for colour printing cuz you HAVE to print out ALL her notes since she fills in the graphs in lectures. She's a pretty good lecturer, but you're better off learning it yourself.

She`s a hilarious prof, a bit unclear at times when teaching difficult concepts, but overall a decent prof. Certainly not the best, but definitely not the worst.

Comment:

her lectures are a waste of life. she draws like five million graphs that are all so unnecessary to solve problems. stuff she teaches, not that she teaches much, dont relate to the textbook. compared to the other sections which actually uses legit notes, her notes look retarded. and she cant spell. or do math.

Comment:

a nice person. Terrible professor, draws graphs which relate to nothing most of the time. Although she has good tips for multiple choice, it doesn`t help too much when you don`t understand her lecture
