Very hard to understand during lectures and was easily irked. 3 midterms, so be ready for quick turnarounds on the chapters. Midterm difficulty increases after the first one too.
Office hours are necessary if you want to pass the weekly Excel projects because there is no guidance from the professor. The textbook is required for half the graded assignments. Overall, the professor didn't seem to care much about whether the students were learning or not, and I would recommend you find another econ Professor if possible.
She is a good lecturer, good intro class teacher. Fair grading, 3 midterms and a final.
She drops your lowest score for the excel projects, midterm, and section participation. I was not too fond of the fact she made us buy Macmillan learning when there are other free alternatives. Her in-class slides are just a copy and paste from the book. Overall you should be able to get an Easy A if you put in the work.
The grading rubric was very easy. There were three midterms and one got dropped. There are weekly excel projects that are usually easy. Her lectures were boring and I learned everything by reading the textbooks and not from her lectures. The only thing that made the class good was her easy grading criteria.
I personally thought her lectures were easy to understand although her explanations of the graphs can be confusing so go over them urself after lecture.The content of the class is easy and the tests are actually pretty straightforward.The Prof always shows up to class with mad fits every time which is p cool. Don't show up to the exam late. EVER.
Decent prof, nothing special but not bad, pretty understandable content, slides are always online so you can just go over them at home instead of going to lecture. Tests were pretty easy, grade includes some HW assignments and stuff so there's more than just the exams going towards your final grade. TA's and section did suck though
Doesn't prepare for lectures and often skips slides or she speeds through them really quickly. though the material isnt hard, test/section questions can be confusing and hard to answer. Her class single handedly convinced me to not pursue econ lol Edit: also she likes making learning difficult. she refuses to give out review questions from class??
Assignments, material, and syllabus are clear and easy to understand. The lectures were not helpful and were pulled directly from the textbook- it's fine to skip them. My one annoyance is you can only miss 11~ questions in exams + final cumulatively (except one dropped exam) to get an A :'( but the questions are easy, dw!! easy to get a b or higher
shes really annoying and her lectures are useless the class is rly easy tho i dont be studying ngl
she got lit outfits every lecture but every time she be tryna explain sumthing she be gettin herself confused. lowkey but highkey it seem like she dont prep for her lectures and confuses herself and in turn confuses us when she be speakin. Fr fr tho study the slides and cook up for yo self in the lib and teach the lessons to ya self ya feel me.
Tazhitdinova has made me genuinely enjoy learning econ because of her observable passion for the subject and her interest in sharing this passion with her students. Her lectures clarify the concepts from the book and are engaging. She never deviates from the given class schedule. Midterms and projects are manageable and fair. Fantastic professor.
Essentially just goes over a slide deck in lecture, may not have even been made by her. Her explanations aren't terrible, but honestly skipping lecture and going over the slides yourself wouldn't be a bad move. Overall engages in childish behavior and does little to help students.
Professor does not care about students. If you ask a "dumb" question during her lectures or zoom meetings (currently taking class during covid), she'll say "I already answered it". Doesn't really know economics, just reads things off a slide. If you're a minute late for the midterms/exams , she will give you a ZERO. Worst Economic Professor.
she sometimes give example questions that might pop up on exams during lecture. Gets irritated when people ask technical questions, tells students to memorize the steps rather than confuse themselves with the reasoning. she encourages people to ask questions and make sure people understand before moving on. Fast but amazing lecturer overall.
