Comment:

very demanding course/prof. class lectures are sometimes incomprehensible. fortunately, she's always around outside class, and really works to clarify things. basically, a good teacher outside the classroom. awesome sense of humor too.

Comment:

One of the very best Trinity has to offer. Way too nice of a person, knows the material inside out and just demanding enough so that you can actually learn something new every day. It would be incredibly sad to see her leaving in 2 months.

Comment:

Worst professor at Trinity. She teaches like we're in kindergarten. I learned absolutely nothing, and I though it was just me until I took Butler for Intermediate Micro- I learned Intro to Micro in one week with Butler. Kamdar=Nice Person/Bad Teacher

Comment:

Do you really want to learn Micro and be able to enjoy your time in class? Then take Kamdar. Don't expect to get an easy A though. She's a great person, but she doesn't cut you slack. You get what you earn and nothing more. Do all the homework, and don't cut corners.

this is the hardest class that i have taken in my entire life. not because the material is hard, but because the teacher sucks. love her as a person, hate her as a teacher.

Comment:

Kamdar is a hardass--she assigns hw every class but only collects it occassionally, which is frustrating. She will not ever cut you any slack. She is a really nice person but as a teacher, i think she needs to chill

Comment:

She's really nice and funny. Make the subject a whole lot more fascinating, even for Econ majors like me. She occasionally makes the material seemingly more complicated than it is, hence this class might prove difficult to some.

Comment:

really hard to understand, doesn't explain well, really funny and nice, but hard class for those of us not gifted in prior knowledge of economics, expects you to understand easily and that's not always the case

Good enthusiasm for a prof but makes the material more complicated than it really is. More times than not I found myself havign to teach teh material to myself just to get her interpretation out of my head.

Comment:

She subbed for Spencer after he had heart trouble. I had a 95 average before her, and received a B+ in the class. The only test she gave us was the final. It had several questions we had not discussed and other material having nothing to do with economics. I would never take her again.

She's a really fun teacher. She explains things well, has review sessions, not much homework. If you pay attention, it's not that hard.

Comment:

Hard tests. Easy quizzes. Annoying group project. Some other econ profs give a lot of extra credit & she doesn't at all. She's friendly and is a decent teacher, but you're better off avoiding her unless you're an econ major.

She's very entertaining and funny. She gets really into her lessons and jumps around. Very nice professor, but her tests are probably harder than they should be.
