Comment:

Look, I'll be frank with you, Mrs. Pettit is an easy class, however, you best hope you have 0 issues otherwise she will drop you like its no one's business. She is known for handing out more withdrawals than any other teacher at SIUE so your safest bet is to show up to every class and you'll pass easily, have any issues good luck.

I loved having Professor Pettit! As long as you stay on top of her assignments, which are not taken for a grade, and show up to class for notes, you'll do fine! You will only receive a grade on four exams. Attendance is not a grade.

Knows her subject very well. Illustrates without rabbit trailing. Shes very strict about technology usage - no laptops or cell phones. Definitely no headphones. If you can stand to be off your phone for an hour, show up to class and take decent notes shes a breeze. 111 was 4 non comphrehensive exams with no homework. Come to class and its easy.

Pettit is a great professor. She can come off as mean sometimes, but she is just very real. Shes a strong independent person and doesnt care about your feelings. How it should be. Take notes. The tests are based right from the notes. Not hard at all. Pretty easy class overall. And interesting. Probably the best Business prof at siue.

Petitt did nothing but notes and expected you to copy verbatim. The whole grade was made of only 4 test graders bomb a test you might a well drop the class.

Comment:

Mary prefers to read off a presentation and never go into full detail. Her tests; however, are extremely detailed and somewhat difficult if the book has not been read. To pass this course with a decent grade and minimal effort, find a better teacher.

Comment:

Pettit is the best economics professor at SIUE. Her lessons teach you everything you need to know for her tests and everything from on the exam is straight from the class. The only downside to that is if you dont attend her class you will fail. But if you attend most of her classes you will at least get a B.

Comment:

Comes off really condescending. If you miss class, even for a good reason, she will not give you the material you missed. Her tests are really hard, and ultimately if you do not do well she will tell you to drop. Definitely harder than a 100 level course

Comment:

As a freshman coming into their first semester of college, this course hit me like a semi on the interstate. If you are like myself and took your basic econ class in high school, that will not cut it here. I had gone in for help after the first 2 (ROUGH) exams and was told to just drop the class and that economics will be my downfall.

Pettit is a tough, independent woman who does not take lip from anyone. She knows Economics and will make sure the students that show up will know it too. There are 4 tests, which are your only grades. Show up, pay attention, get an A. Easy.

Comment:

She presents the information in a way that is easy to understand. There are 4 tests, if you study the notes you will do good. You have to come to class every day because its 100% lecture. She lacks empathy, she insisted on passing out a test while a student was seizuring with blood coming out of his mouth. Thankfully a police officer stopped her...

She knows what she is talking about and is really passionate about the subject. She gives lots of handouts and as long as you go to class you will pass. No electronics allowed or she will ask you to leave. Her exams are hard but make sure you study the material talked about in class. Write more than just the lectures as she says a lot of info!

Teacher was very disrespectful towards students. Has no compassion for them. A student in my class was seizing on an exam day and she had no sympathy and wanted to hand out the exam anyways.

Mrs. Pettit is alright. Your grade is only based off the four exams, which may be intimidating, but you'll do fine as long as you attend and take good notes. Make sure you write stuff that isn't on the slides that she emphasizes.

Had to take this , but she's a good pick. Knows her stuff, easy to hear & understand, & tests are fair. It's only 4 test grades which sounds scary but you just attend, pay attention, do any practice, & you're fine. She has a problem with people leaving class for any reason but I don't care I leave anyway cuz I gotta go to the bathroom, so sue me

Professor Pettit is okay. This class is just boring. Pay attention to bold face type in power point, study a lot, this class was no joke. You only have 3 exams plus the final, no homework. Also zero electronics are allowed, no laptops, tablets, phones, etc.. if caught with one you will be asked to leave.

Lectures heavy and only takes 4 grades, but I left the class every single day feeling as if I understood the material better than any of my other classes. She comes off as intimidating but she is actually kind of funny and very sweet. You have to study, but I think she makes it worth it by giving us the material we need to take the test in notes

I took Prof. Pettit for both econ 111 & 112. Both classes have almost the same material up to the first test. Your grade is based on 4 exams, the last being a non cumulative final :) To get an A in her class, show up and take notes everyday. All material comes from the notes. star the things she makes bold, & know the 1st thing on each list she has

Comment:

She's a nice and knowledgeable person, but her lectures can get boring at times. It's easy to get an A in this class: just go to class, copy down her powerpoint slides and what she says, and study your notes. Make sure to study for the exams, though; your entire grade is based off of 4 of them. She also doesn't allow technology FYI.
