For some professors, its hard to stay focused on their lectures during the last five minutes of class. For Seiz, it is hard to stay interested for the first five minutes.

Comment:

Shes very nice and always glad to help you com to an understanding of teh material. But to be frank, can be downright boring! It also doesn't help taht she is very soft-spoken. Almost like a smooth jazz radio personality. I wouldn't recommend her for an afternoon class.

Fair, and can be interesting, but a lot of the time she speaks for too long about things that have already been discussed at length

Comment:

Great adviser. She's effective when facilitating discussion, although I wouldn't recommend her for a lecture class...only because her voice is so dreamy, not because she doesn't know her stuff.

Comment:

Pretty much the most boring prof you will ever meet. Her voice lulls you to sleep. Her lectures are a joke. Her discusssions are very basic, run in circles, and are not productive. Basically, there is no point in ever going to class. I actually learned something but only b/c I was interested in the course. Easy grader. Little work.

Comment:

She has a soft voice, which makes her lectures sleep-inducing. I like her grading system -- four exams, noncumulative, each worth a quarter of one's final grade.

Prof. Seiz is not an engaging lecturer. However, if you can look beyond that, the content of her lectures is good.

Very boring teacher. I felt like I was going to fall asleep every two-hour period that we had. Inconsistent grader, sporadic assignments, fairly interesting reading. A very nice lady.

I like her a lot. She's scattered at times and often has very unclear expectations. But she is always willing to answer questions and help you out when you need it. I highly recommend her.

shes very laid back. shes a marxist, and offered a valuable perspective that is lacking in most econ majors. She makes you thoroughly understand the material.

Extremely long, slow, and boring lectures. Grade was based on 3 tests. She shows up to class late a lot.

Disorganized. Took a month to hand our papers back. Class discussions were soporific despite well-intentioned efforts to make it interesting. Class often cancelled, and lives 1.5 hours away, so office times are limited.
