Comment:

She is nice don't get me wrg but I swear what I do/did for her class is the most I've done for any of my classes.There r tons of articles, readings from the text,&videos.They are not short either. This class is so time consuming.I would still feel like a full time student if I took just her class. Hmwk is all over the place too, pretty unorganized.

Comment:

She works too fast. I am in her class right now & she is going too fast or not explaining it enough. Yes she gives examples but she'll talk about them over lectures and not write them out. I am a visual learning & reading something to me I have doesn't help. If your just taking this class for a credit & are fulltime, don't, it's too time comsuming

EIU is lucky to have Dr. Ghent. She works very hard at teaching interesting information, and puts it on everyone's level. Her instructions are crystal clear and she is very receptive to questions.Follow her instructions and you will do just fine.

Excellent class, excellent professor. Highly recommend this class. Plenty of work each week, but very interesting. Breaks down econ theories with entertaining video clips/pop culture. Easily the most professional lessons of any class I've taken at EIU.

Comment:

Very good teacher. I absolutely hated my macroeconomics class, but she made microeconomics bearable! Lots of clips but it was usually a good break from the class part. The final project was to use a song or video clip to show how economics affects our daily lives. Very good teacher, I'd definitely take her again.

Comment:

She's a nice lady. We watched a lot of video and music clips that were a welcome relief from lectures. She tries to help as much as possible. The final is optional. She gives online homework that gives you the correct answers so that there is no reason not to get a perfect score. I would take her again.

Lynda Ghent is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She makes the class fun. She also doesn't make it extremely difficult while still teaching her class. She genuinely cares about her students.

Comment:

to sum up, fair. you know what is expected of you and she is readily available outside of class for help. she gives a lot of homework, but draws from those homeworks to get test problems. Easy enough to get an A or a B if you try.

Comment:

Unlike most profs, she applies the socratic method while lecturing. She thus gives topics as much time as needed for students to understand. Students stay involved in class (ie, don't fall asleep.) Homework is fair and effective. Tests are fair. She is always willing to help students before and after class.

Dr. Ghent is a great. I took her for Macro and Micro Economics and as long as you take notes and study your notes you'll do fine.
