ECON10A . Bedard K L 2 Months Ago

Nothing much to say about the professor. She explains the slides in class, with occasional examples, but remains mostly theoretical. She writes too small on the board if you're in the back of the class. Class was hard but only because there were so few questions on the tests. It wasn't that difficult overall. Study well and you'll be in good shape.

ECON10A . Bedard K L 2 Months Ago

During lecture she hardly gives examples, it's very basic, reading off the slides. You're teaching yourself in a way but still make sure to attend all lectures and sit in the front. I took her during summer, we had lecture quizzes every week, 2 midterms and 1 final. No calculators/cheat sheets/or scratch paper during exams

ECON10A . Bedard K L 3 Months Ago

she is one of those professors who doesn't care about you or your grade and there's a reason they had her stop teaching this class almost a decade ago. not sure y she is back but i rlly hope for future econ majors she's gone by next yr again

This class is one of the easiest at UCSB. I had four exams, one of which was dropped.... all other assignments had unlimited attempts which pretty much guarantee 100% for that part of your grade. Study a decent bit and the exams are not too difficult. Only downside was mandatory iClicker questions in lecture.

The exams in this class are tough, but if you put in the work, you'll be fine. The professor is strict on attendance, but the textbook and resources like Unstuck AI can really help with studying. Overall, a challenging but rewarding class.

Solid professor, better than majority of econ department. Attend lecture, do the iclickers, and review previous exams to study.
