Comment:

Not worth taking her econ 1 or 2 class, you bairly have a chance to do well. When I took her winter seesion class he quizess are redundant. Once I asked the special srvices to email a accommodation document to her, when she had it she said I'll increase the time by 50%, but when I took a quiz it's 15 minutes. It is clear not to risk your grade.

Comment:

Her textbook is so poorly written, it's impossible to understand the concept. You get quizzed on a completely different thing on the Canvas quiz which is also worded confusingly. 10 mins for 10 questions with math solving. You'll learn faster teaching yourself probably. She doesn't care about students learning. Save your money, protect your grades.

Comment:

It doesn't seem this professor cares to make this class easy to understand. Or that she cares her students pass. The graphs in her text are handwritten and sometimes hard to decipher on a computer screen. The quizzes in the text book are fair, but her quiz isn't. Ten very confusing questions timed for ten minutes! I do not recommend her.

Comment:

Her class is very easy but she makes it seem very difficult. Her canvas quizzes will lower your grade dramatically. 10 min for 10 questions. By the time you are done reading the question and analyzing, your minute is up. Lecture is 1+23 questions are 1+25. Very confusing. Go take this class to another school, don't risk your grade.

Comment:

Her class is tremendously boring. She teaches in a very bland way. Quizzes are done online but questions are worded in a way that confuses the reader, making it very easy to select the wrong answers. She CAN'T STAND IT when people get up to use the restroom and come back to class. She will ask you to leave because it "breaks" her concentration. FOH

Comment:

I would say that Pr. is a normal teacher. I took this class in a short 5 weeks session, it was difficult, but normally difficult. I mean it doesnt supposed to be easy. This professor expect from you some work, but its normal right? I got a C, but I didnt deserve better grade.

The textbook is really easy to follow. She doesn't expect you to read the Wall Street Journal if you want to get an A, it's highly recommended.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Would never recommend her to anyone. Text book she requires for the class is her own, but the test material is nothing like the book which doesnt make sense. You have 10 questions each week and get 1 minute per question that involves math. So you end up guessing for half of the questions since there is no time to do quality work.

Comment:

No reason to take econ here with this professor. She has weird quiz rules with one attempt and 1 minute, and overall you're sacrificing your grade by taking her. As a LACCD student, you can take an econ class at any of the 9 colleges. Take online econ 1 or 2 at another college with a better professor, as she's the only one here that offers econ.

Comment:

As others already stated. Quizes give you 1 minute to answer questions. It's crazy that you can't review what you did wrong. I like to review what I did wrong but you don't have access. I'm taking an online class, but in order to review your work you need to go to the office? Really!

10 minutes to finish a 10 question quiz. Lots of studying. Cannot see what questions you got wrong after taking the test. Only one attempt. I would recommend getting another professor.

Comment:

Hides test results so you don't even know what you got wrong or why. Tests you on material not covered in the book then claims its college so you should just know things. Uses uncommon idioms in tests, so goodluck if you're foreign. Better hope you know what a "bumper crop" is because thats on the test. Oh and you get a minute to do math problems.

Comment:

Took her online, the book is written by her which you would think would help. It doesn't. Its very poorly written,vague and difficult to read. Her tests are written in a way to confuse you rather than to actually test your knowledge. Test results are also hidden from students so there's no real learning involved. Do yourself a favor and skip her.

Comment:

This teacher is ridiculous! She makes you take an excessive amount of exams. First you take the ebook exam and questions and you can retake as many times as you want. But when it come to canvas good luck because you have 1 minute per question. Some questions can be paragraph form! DONT TAKE HER! Shes not helpful at all!!!

Comment:

Took her for econ1 and 2 both online. I had no problem with her, I would recommend to finish the online homework asap since it can be taken at an unlimited amount of times before its deadline. Make sure to participate in her discussions and you'll be fine. The 10 question quizzes in 10 mins can be stressful but make sure to study and use resources

Comment:

Took her online, the book she uses is pretty bad. It's vague and doesn't have a lot of info or go into detail. Graphs are badly sketched hand-drawn images. I often had to watch YouTube videos to properly learn. Tests are stressful, the questions aren't in the book and you only get 10 mins for 10 questions.

Comment:

Econ 2 has more complex concepts than Econ 1, yet she still wants to continue with the 10 questions test under 10 minutes. Even after many complaints that I have heard of, she doesn't care. I believe she is there to just collect a paycheck and that she feels some sort of power watching students fail. Too bad unions will still support her.

Very straightforward class! I took the 8 week online course and passed with an A. Majority of the homework is taking quizzes, but if you read the textbook you will pass with an A.

Comment:

This professor sucks. She demands entirely too much. I think she does it because she has some sort of superiority complex. The reason that we take classes is to learn and retain information but good luck doing that with this witch. When you approach her with concerns, she is condescending and rude.
