Comment:

Prof Woroby is clearly knowledgeable about economics. However, her lectures are borderline useless. You will be better of doing notes on your own and teaching yourself. Her lectures often focus on events in the US economy, which will make no sense if you haven't taught yourself the terms.

Comment:

This class was very interesting but I would not recommend taking it if it is not necessary. Your grade is made up of two midterms worth 30% each and the final is cumulative and worth 40%. The tests are hard and the multiple choice is not always representative of the lecture given.

Comment:

Although it's a lecture class she explains the content really well and is helpful outside of class if you meet with her. She doesn't give homework so you have to actually pay attention in class if you want to do well. If you go to class and show that you're trying, she'll typically boost you up on exams and your final grade at the end.

Comment:

Although the class is lecture heavy it isn't bad to sit through. She explains everything very well but you have to pay attention to understand. If you need help she is very helpful and nice. If you go to class and pay attention you should have no problems.

Dr. Woroby is the best professor I have had at Towson. She is HILARIOUS!! The course is very hard but Dr. Woroby is very knowledgeable that she always makes the content relatable, easy and simple to understand. Just go to class. Pay attention. She makes it interactive. Highly recommended, you won't regret. Her exams are straight off her lectures.

This was my hardest class of the semester, but I enjoyed it because Dr. Woroby is one of the best professors Towson has to offer. She knows what she's talking about and really makes international economics interesting. Your grade is made up of three exams (two midterms and a final) and nothing else, so study for them! Take her whenever you can!!

Woroby is a great professor, she is really easy to learn from and her lectures aren't confusing at all. She can ramble a little bit and start talking about politics but if you want to pass ,take her.

Her lectures are very interesting. Very knowledgeable. She applies what you learn in class to what's going on in the real world. Make sure you pay attention and study! I'm sure she's better than the other professors teaching this course.

Comment:

Woroby was cool. I had her in the big lecture hall so there was not a lot of in class interaction. Graded by aplia assignments and tests. Curves well and she really wants you to pass. Guaranteed pass if you just show up.

Prof. Woroby is a great choice. The lectures can get dull at some points, but if you are interested in econ it should be an interesting and easy class for you. You will not need the book. 2 tests and a final.

Professor Woroby knows her stuff and can teach it. She is very good at explaining concepts. Overall the class is a bit difficult and for the tests, you need to memorize a few economic indicators price of oil, SandP 500,Ect . Three tests.

Prof. Woroby knows her stuff. If you show up to class, do the homework and ask questions if you need extra help this class should be an easy A. Lectures cover all relevant material. Weekly homework assignments, 2 tests and final. Take Micro before you take Micro!!!

Weekly homework assignments online. Online textbook. She doesnt use ppts or the text book in class but explains everything really well. Needs you to be up-to-date with the economy and stock market. Most of the questions on the exam are from what she covers in class. Should definitely avoid skipping class.

Very lecture heavy, repeats herself multiple times but if you study hard and take notes you will pass. Write down every graph she writes on the board you will need them later on for all exams. 3 exams last is cumulative and weekly online HW but she may not use it this upcoming semester. Willing to help at office hours, nice lady.

Comment:

She really knows her stuff. Explains things thoroughly and repeats herself over and over. She really wants her students to understand the material. Attendance isn't mandatory but it definitely helps to goto lectures because I learned more from those than the textbook or Aplia. Would definitely take her again

Comment:

Dr. Woroby knows what she's talking about. Class isn't too hard. Much better than 201 in my opinion. Total of 3 tests. An Aplia assignment once a week (she might not use Aplia after this semester, though). No papers. Go to class and take good notes and you'll be fine. I would definitely take a class with Dr. Woroby again.

No homework just 3 exams (2 midterms & a final). The exams are easy just go to class and take notes. COPY ALL GRAPHS she puts on the board, they'll definitely be on the exams. Whatever she puts on the board will overall most likely be on the exams. It's up to you to come to class but I suggest you do. Curves exams, not by much.
