Comment:

Game Theory is an interesting subject but she isn't a very good lecturer. The textbook was way clearer. The good news is attendance is optional and the class is curved, so if you can learn from the textbook and be less confused than the rest of the class, you'll be fine. If you really want a top-notch lecturer, she's not your best bet.

Comment:

Final didn't reflect the homeworks or even the midterms. Honors class is supposed to be more math; there was hardly any math on the final. By the T.A.'s admission, 5 questions that were "easy... well I don't like to use the word easy because there were tricks." You'll get at least a B+, but the psychic cost of taking the class is very, very high.

Comment:

Don't listen to the majority of these reviews, Vroman does a decent job. Yes, tests are on the harder side but I had no problem being well above the curve on every graded assignment. This class will really tell you if you have what it takes to major in ECON or if you are just joking yourself. TAs do a lot to clarify her teaching, can be confusing

Comment:

Don't take unless you like relying on the curve. An 85 gets you an A, which sounds nice, but that's only because you can't get more than an 85 on tests because they are so long

Average professor - not stellar, not awful. Fairly accessible, fair grading but a lot of work. Lectures are packed with information and sometimes not clear but usually helpful and she takes lots of questions.

Comment:

I had Professor Vroman for Honors Micro Theory. I absolutely HATED the class. Her lectures are so unclear, and she goes through the material so quickly. Going to class was a waste of time. I had to teach everything to myself. Definitely do not recommend.

Comment:

best econ professor i've had at georgetown. class is extremely tough and she moves fast in lectures, so it's important not to fall behind, but she's really accessable outside of class. yeah, exams and problem sets are tough, but they are fair and representative

Good lecturer and knows her stuff, but hard problem sets and exams. But if you like calculus and a good challenge, definitely go for it.

Terrible experience- completely lost, hard exams. But if you love frantically taking notes for an 1hr15mins that wont help you at all for the exams, go for it!
