Comment:

Prof Jensen is actually amazing. Lecture notes can be a little all over the place at times, but just going back over them makes the world a difference. Utilize office hours for problem sets it is super helpful. This class is not hard to succeed in if you put in the work needed (including making appointments with Prof).

Amazing prof. Lectures are clear and organized. She explains concepts well and is very receptive to questions, both in class and during office hours. Teaches you how to think and prepares you for the tests. She's a gem, would highly recommend taking a class with her if you have the opportunity!

Comment:

Jensen is a great Professor. She is energetic and clear, which is important for the Theory classes. Her notes are organized and meaningful. She loves what she is talking about and actually jokes around sometimes. She's also a nice person. Super available in office hours. Obviously the material in 275/285 is tough but Jensen makes it a bit better.

She is considered one of the best Econ professors at Hamilton, but I am not sure. It was a pretty average class. Nothing special.

One of the best professors overall at Hamilton and hands down the best in the econ department. I've had her in a couple of classes- shes always clear and incredibly helpful. If you have a chance to take a class with her: Do it.

Comment:

pretty much, she just rocks. shes a cross between a professor and a parent to her advisee's. she won't cut you a break, but she'll explain things step by step in office hours, and make sure you're prepared for her exam... or even other econ exams.

American Econ History with her was extremely interesting. Great at explaining concepts and lets you rewrite papers and avg. the two scores. Would highly recommend, especially if you haven't taken econ since freshman year and want to get back into it

best prof in the department (i've had 3 of them so far.) very clear. always willing to help her students. micro theory is difficult conceptually but she explains the material perfectly. reasonable and understanding. i consider her the ideal hamilton professor.
