Comment:

She's a terrible lecturer. Very smart in the field, but can't teach at all. Content was too simple to be true so students would over-study, when in fact exam answers were extremely easy and obvious. She's bad at informing us on what to study. I was forced to take 2 courses for mandatory credit because of my schedule, and it was the worst experience

Comment:

Norloff can seem confused at times, she doesnt exactly engage her students but in all honesty some topics are just intrinsically boring. Readings are extremely difficult, u might need to read thru a couple of times to really understand. If you dont need the class, and if ur not up for a challenging C-level u might want to avoid her class.

Difficult material, but great instructor: knows A LOT, and cares about her students. Pay no attention to the lazy raters who can't hack her courses.

VERY knowledgeable prof and totally willing to help if you approach her in a professional manner. Also an extremely smart woman... Agree with another poster that do the work and you'll be fine. A basic econ background good idea for this class though... (but not essential)

Clearly she's smart, and knows the subject area. She's challenging as a professor. I think her people skills could use a little bit of work, but that's my only real criticism.

Seemed like she was just reading out of the text during lectures. Extremely boring, unorganized, and confusing. Doesn't seem like the type who should be teaching.

Professor Norrlof (her name is spelt wrong in the listing), is a really nice person. She is smart and genuinely cares about her students. She has high expectations, and if the rest of you wimps in this listing can't hack it - take another course!

VERY VERY bad prof...cannot lecture properly and her exam is way too hard. more assignments and steady tutorials would be helpful. run away from her class and pray you NEVER EVER see her for a prof again. Professor, stick to sitting behind a desk cos you can't teach for beans.

Comment:

This professor should go back to Europe to teach and stop wasting students' time here in Canada. Her teaching style might be challenging, not because of the material, but because she is so hard to follow. Hair styles needs updating!

Interesting material, but too much to cover. Her lecturing is boring but she is very helpful in her office. She loves strange theoretical questions. Vague exam questions. Easy to pass, hard to get an A.

Comment:

I should've listened to the previous reviews. I regret taking this course. Norloff was knowledgeable but had problems converting it into something students can understand. Her lectures were bland, though there were a couple of good ones. Her essay que
