Comment:

Very Helpful! Very understand if you have any problems in or outside of class. Easy class but make sure to study for tests. You must come to class for notes because the book does not follow her teaching. You have five HWs worth 150pts. Again DO NOT BUY THE TEXT! Just take notes and follow her powerpoints. Very Nice and Easy. I recommend taking her.

I had Lai for International Finance. I would not recommend taking her. She may know what she is talking about, but she can not teach it. She is also hard to understand.

She is a nice professor who will do anything to help you understand, but her lectures at 9 a.m. are very difficult to stay awake for.

Comment:

She is very nice and helpful, BUT her lectures are impossible to stay awake. She uses overheads and turns off the lights, then its time for a nap. Super boring. She used to be easier than she is now. Tests are harder than what they used to be. Class is just super boring and I don't think I can take another day discussing government shpending.

Comment:

She is helpful when you have a problem. She talks about each chapter, hands out in-class assignments, and then homework due about a week later. At times you can't understand her. The tests are over 4 chapters and there is only 1000 points in the class.

Doesn't quite grasp English sentence structure, lecture is sooo boring, so bring something to do; you can't sleep cause there are participation points. Tests are easy, study practice tests.

This teacher was really sweet. She does in class assignments that go along with the lecture and if you are having trouble you can ask her then and she will help you. Her tests are very easy.

If you have to take Econ 208, then take this instructor. Even if you know nothing about economics, you'll learn and do fine in this class if you take Lai.

She is very nice and teaches well, but she'll call on you if she thinks you aren't paying attention. Just show up for class and study the homeworks and practice tests and you'll do great.

She really knows her material and is always willing to help students understand concepts more clearly. Her lectures can be a little boring, but they are very informative and straightforward. And guys, she is VERY nice to look at.

Comment:

She seemed very insecure about teaching money and banking; so, she taught her dissertation, left money and banking for about the last 6 weeks, and gave very easy tests. She's very nice, though, has a pleasant smile.
