Comment:

Dr. Coggins' ECON211 class was a pretty thorough treatment of microeconomics. Course notes are posted online, but the all-important graphs are not. She was always willing to respond to email or meet in person. Exams are all short/long answer style, but are mostly in the style of the assignment questions.

Comment:

Shelley can get really confusing, she focuses on the math part too much and makes it more difficult then it needs to be. Her tests are fair, don't worry about the essays as long as you label your graphs and use them you should get a decent mark. She is nice, and is always very organized. Watch ACDC econ, dood is a life saver.

She is a pretty tough marker on her midterms in the long answer, she was really good about helping me when class was done and she was super nice. The final was pretty fair game for the most part with exception of a few hard questions. Overall decent prof.

Comment:

Shelley's econ is more focused on graphs and numbers, not so much theory. She uses shorthand when lecturing and it does get confusing sometimes. You need to go to class to get the graphs. Midterms and quizzes are fair if you study.

Comment:

Attendance is not mandatory but it's best to attend if you want to pass the class. Much harder class then other ECON profs at the U of S. Shelley is hard to follow in her lectures, she draws many graphs and uses many abbreviations but doesn't explain what they mean. Her midterms include short and long answer questions.

Comment:

She is the worst prof I have ever had. SO RUDE and if you ask her a question outside of class she will tell you to look in the notes which are pretty much illegible because it is so abbreviated and her writing is also illegible so you can't even write your own proper notes! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

She speaks in a monotone voice and moves very quickly, there isn't even an attempt to make the subject interesting. Everything is abbreviated, slides are useless and lectures are mandatory.

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend taking her class. The lectures are not based around the textbook, but the web tests are. The notes that are given are not very clear and the textbook does a far better job of explaining the concepts. The class's final was weighted at 50% too, but there were plenty of opportunities to divide the marks more evenly

Comment:

The notes were pretty bad. You have to go to class because almost all of it is based on graphs. Learned more from the textbook and Harvard lecture slides than I did from her. Didn't think test/assignment grading was consistent and the lectures were real dry. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

Avoid taking her class if possible. Her lectures leave you more confused than ever with her slides being very abbreviated and hard to understand. She does not follow the textbook in any way but has web tests that are solely based on the textbook. Her tests are very unclear of material and grading scheme. ALL she draws are graphs, hundreds.

I really enjoyed Shelly as a prof. You definitely need to attend her lectures if you wish to pass. She uses a lot of graphs to explain concepts. If ever you have questions she is always ready to help after class.

I thought that she did a good job at teaching econ. Online quizzes were a little difficult, but as long as you read the textbook, they are easy. Textbook is a must have if you want anything to make sense in this class.

Comment:

Shelley was a GREAT Econ. prof! If you attend class and take notes, the midterms will be a breeze. She emphasizes important concepts (which appear on exams) and reviews them often. Shelley was very helpful to any of my questions and one of my favorite professors thus far! I recommend her for ANY Econ class!!!

Assumes everyone understands if one student says they do. Lots of graphs! Uses lots of symbols in notes. Webtests and midterms are hard! Very friendly and understanding.

Comment:

There are better profs out there than her. Her humour is dry, asks questions to the class but only the students with a good understanding of econ would answer, she would then move on assuming the rest of the class understands. Online tests were brutal, 40 or so minutes to rip through 40 questions.
