If you show up to class and take notes and look over them you are definitely going to bet at least a A-. She gives extra credit points almost everyday. She really likes to involve her class when lecturing.

Comment:

She cracks the whip in International Econ. Class consisted of midterm, final, weekly quizzes, foreign currency trading assignment, and two papers (one with executive summary). She drops the lowest two quiz grades and doubles the highest. Her lectures felt dry in this class... had about 10 pages of notes PER LECTURE. A lot of work but love Teresa!

Comment:

Professor Hutchins goes over all of the material and is very fair, her class can just be so boring. Her voice drags on and she just seems to be going through the motions, like she has done it a million times before. Tests are heavily weighted which I didn't like

Comment:

The course material is not the easiest to understand; however, she does a splendid job at breaking everything down by providing a plethora of examples. Class consists of 3 memos, 4 current events (1 being a SMALL, SMALL presentation), and 3 exams. A huge plus is that we used iClickers, so you can earn extra credit points. LOVED her and the class!!!

Comment:

I had her for micro and internat econ. For micro she is fine, but be aware she expects much more for the latter class. Quizzes every week and two tedious papers. The class was much more difficult than expected and the high volume of notes made each class draining. I also feel her notes could be more clear. Harder than expected, but she'll help you.

Professor H. is by far the best professor. She presents her material in an organized manner and provides relatable examples for each topic she discusses. Her tests are not walk in the park, but generally not too bad if you understand her class lectures. Overall I am blessed to have had her as a professor and to be able to take her class again.

She won't hand you your grades, but she explains everything so clearly and gives study guides that prepare you so well for the test. She's a great teacher and is willing to help out as long as you voice that you need help. She'll help you get the best grades that you can. My favorite teacher thus far.

She's a great professor, but her exams are hard. She's a good lecturer but if you don't get the lectures, you will not pass the class. She is always open to extra help and seems interested in getting to know her students.

Professor Hutchins is hands down the best professor I have ever had. Econ isn't my major, but she made it so easy to understand and she made it FUN. She's the sweetest professor on campus and I've actually had the opportunity to take her twice (Microeconomics and International). If you can take her class DO IT!!

Loved her. I was afraid to take economics because I've never taken it before nor am I an economics major but she made the terms extremely easy to understand and used examples to make it even easier. Tests are 40 questions with 2 essays which weren't too bad. I would highly, highly recommend her for non-econ majors. She makes it very simple.

She is an amazing teacher. After taking Macroeconomics and hearing that Microeconomics is even harder, I was so scared to take this class. She is not an easy teacher in whose class you can just slack off, BUT she is extremely helpful and clear with what she talks about, so getting good grades is easy. She provides opportunities for extra credit :)

Take her for Microeconomics! I would take her for all my subjects. She is the best teacher I have ever had. Totally worth waking up at 8 am for this class. She has funny, interesting examples. You have to study for the class and come to class but you will learn & improve you skills. This is NOT a waste of time. I would even take class again!

She slowly writes her notes on the board every class and are the only info needed for passing the class., you don't need the textbook She also really knows her stuff. Her assignments are pretty average difficulty, but not too many Rarely homework. Only three tests, no quizzes Show up and copy the board and you'll get at least a B- Also extra credit

The class is very easy with minimal assignments. There are 2 exams and a final that is not cumulative. She's very helpful and tries to keep the class engaged. She also offers extra credit in the form of i-clicker questions. Don't really need the book, she never refers to it. Take her class!
