I attended every lecture and found them to be somewhat helpful. She curved our class at least 10% and it's super clear she wants people to succeed in this class. Everything is straightforward and exams are very similar to past ones.

Grades on Midterm/Final and Problem Sets. She gives a healthy curve, I got 6 points above the average on the midterm and 20 points below the average on the final and got a B. You have to self-learn no matter what, so go to TA hours and CLAS. Midterm was a little bit harder than past ones and the final was BAD. 2 points for section attendance.

Don't understand why her reviews are so bad. She gives you a 2% grade boost just for going to the section, the tests are incredibly similar to her previous ones, and homework is 30% of ur grade. Self-study with chat like all the econ classes require you to do, and you will be fine. She's very nice and doesn't fail anyone.

She is nice as a person but this ENTIRE course needs to be restructured. Lecture slides are NOT AT ALL representative of what's on the exam. Wrote an extremely difficult final, but she's VERY generous in handing out As (curved like crazy). Lectures are USELESS (>80% don't go). Just grind the 6 practice exams and MEMORIZE those problems to get an A!

The midterm had easy points. Final was tough, average was a 49, but overall really wasn't that bad. Homework is hard, but find a friend who has taken the class before to give you answers and easy points. If you attend the section, you get 2% extra credit added to your final grade. Top 35% get an A, next 50% get a B, and the rest C and below.

I think the course is pretty solid. The lectures build a lot on optimization, so make sure you're comfortable solving those problems from the first section. The homework can be a bit challenging, but it's doable if you put in the effort. Going through past exams, especially the recent ones, is super helpful.
