Mrs. Battaglia is an awesome professor to take. She is hilarious, her lectures are easy to follow, and really cares about economics. Her classes also do not require a textbook, so that's a plus too.

Comment:

Battaglia is simply AMAZING, hands down. Her class is not just an academic class, but a life class that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Her explanations, reinforced by her handouts, make for powerful lectures that captivated me. As far as her tests, there are no surprises as long as you study the handouts! Take her! No regrets!

Comment:

A straightforward and knowledgeable professor, but patronized quite a few students. The "non-mandatory" attendance policy is a catch-22, since you'll need the notes from class (no textbook) to pass her exams and homework. Still, she seems to be one of the better ECON professors on the campus. Study the notes and you'll make an A.

Ok class, it was a bit common sense but there was a lot of reading. she can be a bit picky when it come to basically everything but it wasn't a big deal to me because she was very clear about her expectations. LOTS OF ARTICLES TO READ. 3 exams and 8 hws. gives extra credit to ppl who show up to class randomly so dont miss her class. no textbook.

Comment:

She has her own printable notes, so there is no textbook. Homework is only 10% of grade, so you have to do well on exams. Exams cover the homework & what you fill in the blanks on your notes/what she tells you to highlight. Lots of bonus opportunities but only if you're in class.

Comment:

Battaglia is one of the best professors I've had. This is my second class with her, she uses her own notes so there's no textbook for the class. It's important to come to class, as sometimes her tests go over specific things she said in lecture, or bonus point opportunities that help a lot in a low point class. Very straight forward exams as well!

Great class as a Maymester. 3 exams + 8 HW. Extra credit opportunities offered if you attend. She does not take attendance, but best to show up. Extensive notes. Material very easy to grasp -- even for someone who hasn't taken micro in several years. TA and prof are available after class for questions and hw help. Final exam not cumulative.

Comment:

Kari is a very knowledgeable professor and get her points across very well. You take notes with fill-in-the-blank printouts. This class will be very easy as long as you show up to class and fill in your printout. She has no homework but has random in-class assignments that will hurt your grade if you aren't there for them. Skipped twice, stillgotA.

Comment:

Dr. Battaglia's class was the best class I've had all year at UNT. A book is required because that's where the (easy) homework comes from, as well as in-class assignments, but she makes it cheap ($45). Her lectures are easy to understand and she provides you with notes for class. She offers many helpful opportunities to study for tests.

I love Dr. Battaglia. I would take her for all of the classes I can. She is informative and she gives you outlines for your notes so you don't have to worry about missing something, just fill in the blank. I heavily enjoy her class.

Basically the textbooks teach you everything, her lectures are just the textbook broken down. Be sure to show up to class, she gives in-class grades. She HATES it if you talk during lecture, and will stop teaching till people stop talking. Make sure you study hard, or you will not do well in the class. Pay attention and study to lecture notes 2pass

Comment:

This is a very easy class to pass. There is a good balance between tests and homework, and neither are difficult. Lectures can be boring because you spend the entire period filling in the blanks in packets she provides since there is no textbook. If you go to class and study the notes (which are very clear and understandable), you will pass.

Easy class. Gives outlines for lectures so you know exactly what to write down. She also puts practice exams online which are quite similar to the tests. It's an easy B or A with minimal effort. I do wish she posted grades online though.

This is an easy class. Study the write in stuff on your packets, the homework problems, and show up and you will pass. If you have taken finance this will be a breeze for you.

Comment:

The class is super interesting and straight forward. There's no textbook and the fill-in-the-blank style notes make it easy to know exactly what will be on the exam. She tells you what to study and what not to study. There are only 6 homeworks for the semester and the problems come straight from the notes. Never skip class.

Her lectures are mediocre, she is not particularly friendly but is not too mean either. you'll want to sleep in class, exams are on the difficult side and you'll have to study
