Amazing prof for higher level classes. Best feedback I've ever received for my papers. A lot of reading, but (some of) it is interesting!

Very nice, does a good job explaining the material. Class got pretty boring at times, but that may just be a function of the subject matter (intro level econ).

Had Connelly for Micro and Labor. She's great. Tells lots of tangential stories. Not too tough. Tests are harder than her psets, but she's an easy grader. Passionate and understanding.

Comment:

Lectures were very pretty boring and dry, got more from the book than from class notes, tests were pretty hard but overall an easy class work-wise. If you go to class and read the book you will get an A easily, unfortunately I only did the latter and got a B-

Comment:

Nice. Goes to the wall for you: excessive office hours, test times negotiable, two out of eight assignments dropped, and tests at night so they are untimed with office hours during regular class time. However, class is boring like none other. You need not read AND go to class (it's the same). She could go faster. She loves it, though.

Absolutely nice person. Her area of research also is very interesting. If you get the chance, take her Economics of the Lifecycle class. Great topic, great class! Ms. Conelly can be a little dry at times, but she is very charming and friendly.

Whoever wrote that last comment about Connelly being too slow and constantly talking about sock factories is a moron. Disregard that comment, Connelly is possibly the nicest teacher I have ever had in my entire life. She is very personable and patient
