Comment:
Professor Bussing is a nice lady, but she's not my type of professor. Her lectures were mainly history of currency & banking (it's basically just her money & banking class). Fairly boring after awhile, especially because there's nothing challenging to the course at all. 10 open-note in-class assignments, 1 easy paper, 3 tests, and a final.

Comment:
This class is entirely lecture based, but Professor Bussing is not a boring lecturer. She makes it easy to pay attention and listen to what she's saying. Taking notes is super important. She doesn't write out notes for you, but she gives a general guideline and goes in order so it's fairly easy to be organized while taking your own. I recommend.

Mrs. Bussing is engaging and teaches her class well. If you miss class, you WILL pay for it on the test. No complaints though.

Bussing is a very sweet lady who really cares about all of her students. You write one paper and take 3 tests and a final. Before tests she will tell you a list of things to study, as long as you study the tests are easy. There are ten in class assignments that are not on the schedule so make sure you go to class!

I absolutely loved Bussing, one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is willing to work with you in and outside of class. Also we always get out early from class. She really knows what she is talking about about, I would take her for any class!

One of the best teachers I have had so far. 3 tests, 1 in class essay, random in-class assignments (very easy), and a final. Definitely recommend her!

Dr. Bussing obviously cares about the material she teaches. She goes over all the material needed for a test the class before, there are no surprises. We have one in class essay and a couple five point attendance assignments in class. It is a lecture class with no outside homework other than studying for the exams. Highly recommend.

Comment:
Econ is a pretty hard subject for me, but Dr. Bussing makes it tolerable. She always seems so happy to be in class and excited to teach. Attendance isn't mandatory but she sometimes gives random in-class assignments. No extra credit, but she goes over the material the day before the test, so they're usually relatively easy.

She is one of the greatest professors ever. She's very smart and sweet and really enjoys her job. Classes aren't bad at all. They are lectures but she's fun and energetic so they are more than tolerable. Tests are pretty easy and she will tell you what's on them the class before. I highly suggest you take her! You won't regret it! Dont get the book

One of the best, if not the best professor at USI. She is enthusiastic and enjoys her job. She has real world experience in economics and taught me a lot of applicable knowledge that will benefit me for years to come. Very clear, very helpful, easy class. I recommend taking this professor.

This lady is extremely helpful. She conducts her class in a professional manner and she is always giving reminders and helpful study tips. Not to mention, she had worked in the upper echelons at a bank for a number of years. She is intelligent and delivers the material so it's easy is to follow/understand. She is in Top 2 best professors at USI

This class is a big mixture of book terms along with current events. Econ in general isn't my favorite, but this class was tolerable. Random, easy in class assignments along with tests that aren't too difficult. I recommend.

Comment:
Has random in class assignments, but are easy. Her lectures involve random stories or repeated discussions about the current economy, with addition of the current material. Easy tests and class, just boring lectures. She is nice and really into economics with a lot of experience.
