CollegeShe teaches the class like she's too good to be there. Explains concepts like we are already supposed to have mastered them, and the tests did not reflect the practice problems and testing materials she provided. I would strongly advise you to avoid this professor if you are an Econ major and want a high major GPA.
Honestly, don't go to class and just review the slides on your own. The grading is very clear, however it's weird. There are 4 tests and the lowest one is dropped which means STUDY HARD FOR THE FIRST THREE. I wish I locked in harder earlier so that I didn't have to take the last test. Her questions are also harder than the other profs.
Lecture and section attendance not mandatory. Lecture slides have all the info on them so it's not crucial to attend. Homework quizzes can be taken as many times as you want. Material was quite confusing for me and tests were a lot harder than homework.
Sections aren't mandatory. Can submit hw and projects as many times as need to get full credit. Gives a lot of practice exam questions. Three midterms and final, 15 questions each and thirty minutes to complete (drop lowest score). Lectures can be fast-paced and midterms could have oddly phrased questions. Prof had fire fits though.
She is a horrible lecturer, she is convoluted, spends 20 minutes on the easiest stuff and no time on the hard stuff. She also wrote her test questions in a way that made them more of a riddle and figuring out what she was talking about not about the actual knowledge/topics. She just doesn't know how to teach.
Econ 1 was a breeze. Lectures are fast paced but content was easy to grasp. Sections aren't mandatory. You can submit homework and projects as many times as you want to reach full credit. Gives good practice exam questions. Three midterms + final (15 questions each) but you drop the lowest score. Minimal homework and I finished the class with 100%.
