Anne-Marie is an amazing professor. She posts the lecture notes online ahead of time, so you can print them out and just follow along if you want. Even if you don't need any econ credit, I highly recommend you take her class. She's a great prof.

Amazing professor! Econ can get confusing, but she does a really good job at simplifying the content. I highly recommend studying the textbook practice problems because theyre really similar to the questions given on the exam. Overall, my experience in the class was phenomenal!

Great teacher, she did her best to make a mediocre subject interesting. You do have to pay attention for the most part, but as long as you do your work and take notes the test isnt too hard. Would definitely recommend

Awesome person to be honest. She helps you if you need it. Very approachable. Clear on what she expects of you and provides effective feedback on homework/ tests. Definitely would take Macro from her. Very structured and clear notes/lessons. Pay attention and take notes and you'll be good

Didnt feel like anything we did in class prepared me for the tests. The class was just random conversations with the teacher and students. I feel like I would have had the same grade if I showed up half the time that I did.

Awesome teaching style - very interactive. Took for micro & macro. Not my strong area but if you ask for help she will do everything she can to help you. Respect her and respect is given. Fun class - always keeps discussion interesting.

Comment:

She very clearly lays out the grading criteria and will tell you exactly what is on the tests. Economics can be a bit boring at times, but she always keeps the lectures fun and engaging. While attendance isn't necessarily mandatory, if you don't go to class you will struggle with the class. She does a great job of preparing you for tests.

Loved Anne-Marie! Super hilarious, and her lectures were easy to follow and always helped me understand the material better. I recommend reading the textbook even though her lectures cover most everything you need to know. Definitely one of my favorite professors! Super down to earth and had a ton of fun stories to share during lectures.

Comment:

Currently taking Macroeconomics with Anne-Marie, she is very sweet. Each class is mostly all lectures, at times they are fun but she moves very quickly and many of my classmates including myself get lost. The math isn't to bad, but the multiple choice on her exams is terribly difficult. Don't take this class if you don't have time to do the reading

There is a quiz each week on a specific chapter. You have 15 mins to take each of them. The professor is great and a nice lady. She really knows what she is talking about.

Love love love the professor. She is super kind and helpful and is even cheery to see you in the hallway. The class is difficult, and make sure you study for the tests because they make up a good chunk of your grade.

She is extremely helpful when asking questions. The tests are hard but she is very open to helping students. Some group projects/group work which got annoying but its not bad.

She makes sure the class understands the content before moving on. She's a hilarious teacher and makes the class very enjoyable. She gives little homework. I recommend doing the homework and turning it in before the due date because she'll check it and let you fix whatever is wrong before grading it.

She is a great teacher with a wonderful personality. She helps you when you dont understand material. Loves office hour visits (which helps in the long run). She loves to joke around but also love what she teaches and wants you to learn. Go to class, this isnt a class to skip. Plus lectures are fun, depending on the day.

The tests are super hard. A lot of multiple choice is random and isn't even from the notes. If she used an example problem in class it'll be 2 times more confusing on the test.
