She honestly care about students passing. She gives a few opportunities of extra credit so students can pass her class. She has the students best intentions. She was a kind professor and gave many examples of any topic until student understood it. Disregard any comment before this one.

Comment:

Her tests are tricky and powerpoints unhelpful. I consider myself to be somewhat of a genius, but I had trouble with this class. I would strongly advise you to pick another economics teacher. Take this review seriously. I know what I am talking about.

Comment:

She is very clear about the subject she teaches, however lectures are long and dry. She will help you if you ask for it, but don't expect the answer to be given to you. Participation in her class is very helpful.

1 term paper, 2 midterms and a final + participation = your grade. exams are mainly based on the powerpoint lectures but they are boring... I found that study groups helped a lot for this class.

Comment:

The teacher is perfect IF you enjoy lecture from start to finish. Like the previous entries said, your entire grade is based off of two mid-terms and the final. Fail one and you're pretty much looking at a C for the semester that is assuming you ace the other two tests. There is NO room for failure in this course. I wouldn't recommend her.

Comment:

Your grade is determined by what you get on her 2 midterms, essay, and final. I can not sit in any of her lectures because its so boring. She teaches off of powerpoint and talks for an hour 1/2. NON.STOP. Good luck to whoever has her!

Comment:

I took ECON 175 class. The midterms questions were based on the lecture and PPT, so you can not miss any class, or you have to work hard with the study questions she put online. She gave many extra credits and also helpful. I use textbook a little and my total grade didn't reach 87%, however, Dr, Virts gave me an A.

Comment:

Prof.Virts is a good teacher. it is really hard to answer students' questions when there are over 250 people in her class. That's why all she does is lectures. Her exams are straight from the book and online assignments are helpful. Got A with no problem

Comment:

This was this most ridiculous teacher I have even seen. She does not help anyone at all. When you ask .her a question, she just put its on the board without really explaining how she came to that conclusion. I got an A in the class, but I liked economics before the class.

Comment:

Took her for Econ 348 and 375. She is a very hard grader and her lectures are boring. She gives review questions prior the midterm and the final. Just try to answer those and ull be ok on the tests. 55% is a C in the class, and if not for her curve more then half of the class would fail.Midterm, an essay and a final.

Comment:

Tough professor. Grade is based on two midterms, one final, and Aplia assignments. Lectures are super lengthy but they are posted on the Aplia program. Had a hard time understanding her graphs and her examples because she jumps from topic to topic back and forth. Not recommended unless you're a person who loves to study your brains out!

Comment:

Lectured right from the book - almost word for word. She put no effort into the material. I just went to the library during class time and read the chapters. She was boring as all heck, and did not seem one bit interested in the subject matter - which spilled out and affected my attitude towards the material too.

Very tough professor, and you won't know what I mean until you see her grading method. If not for curving, half the class would fail. She's very smart, in fact one of the smartest I have ever seen. Not for slacks or dumbs.
