Comment:

What a great teacher. SIS teachers need to take notes, because she actually teaches. She's lecture based, because that's how you learn, but any questions you have, she'll take as much time as needed. She really cares about her students. It shows by how much time she puts into class. Getting an A is very doable if you put in the time.

I loved going to her class! She's a funny lady, an easy grader, and a good teacher. Learned so much in her class and I'd love to take it again. She really made econ fun..and that's a pretty hard thing to do!

I had Prof. Starr for money banking and finance. She was amazing. LOVED her classes. Exams are kinda long but not too hard. She gives study guides for each exam. They the study guides are VERY LONG, but if you cover all the questions you're good to go for the exam. My fav. professor at AU!!!!

Great professor! Had her for money, banking, and finance. The course covers a lot of information, but she explains everything very well and makes it easy to understand.

Easy grader. Assignments are helpful. It's annoying that she's not big on email, especially when you can't make her office hours. Kind of monotonous.

omg, she's a replica of Sarah Jessica Parker. It's a touch class, but she tries to make it as easy as possible. C'mon.. it's econ... how easy is it going to get? But, seriously, awesome lady. Talking about econ makes her smile and puts her in a good mood.

Comment:

Boring professor! She read right off of the power point presentations, her voice was annoying after awhile and put you straight to sleep. The TA's graded everything. Going to class was an absolute waste of time and she gets mad when you e-mail her about grades and stuff and says asks the TA's.

She was a pretty good professor.Very lenient in terms of attendance.Work load was manageable.Tests were tricky...always seemed like there was more than one right answer.You have to do weekly written assignments,aplia problem sets,3 midterms, and TA sessions(for bonus points).All hw is graded by TAs.

She is very nice and speaks English clearly. Her slides are the same as textbook in most part, but still her slides helped me understand macroeconomics.

Comment:

Most horrible prof ever. Her voice makes you sleepy, teaches nothing of value or interest, made me hate econ. Weekly assignments graded by TA's not her! Lazy prof. Very unhelpful and sarcastic. Also made us pay $20 to use a website in order to turn in mandatory class exercises. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:

This class could be interesting, but this woman is so boring to listen to it is intolerable. Extremely hard to make yourself go to this class as she posts the notes online and you learn nothing in class. the only reason to go is to turn in the ridiculous assignments that she makes you do weekly.
