Professor Benelli was extremely kind and caring and her positive attitude made a subject that I am not usually interested in much more bearable. Despite organizational issues, I would say the class was fair and made easier due to her understanding demeanor. It may be different for those that take it in person but this was my experience!

This class was a blessing. Yes, she was a little unorganized, but definitely NOT to the point where it should have an effect on your grade. She's extremely accommodating, has a very calming voice, and easy to follow. If this class is just to knock out a minor prerequisite or gen-ed, I highly suggest taking her.

Profesor Benelli is one of the most caring, sweet professors I have ever had. She genuinely cares about how her students are doing- more than just academically but on a personal level. She is so understanding and supportive. Not only that, but she puts immense effort into teaching and making sure her students absorb the material.

This class is horrible. I've never had a teacher like Mrs. Benelli, she has such an odd way of teaching and doesn't explain things adequately. She's extremely disorganized and is hard to follow. Don't take her!!

Benelli has a lot of controversy, but I did fairly well by always attending lecture. It's easy to get lost if you don't pay attention b/c of her complicated examples. You can also never go to class & watch yt vids but this worked for me. She's really funny and approachable. Also, definitely don't waste your money on the book & js take good notes

I loved Econ and I got a good grade by studying hard and doing the work. Going to class wasn't necessary, she's a lovely lady but she's a very odd professor.

Was very all over the place for a lot of her lectures. Often went on economic tangents about concepts that she then would say were not on the test, thus wasting time. While she is very caring and wants to make sure everyone passes, she can often make relatively simple concepts confusing.

You can do well if you 1) attend lecture, 2) read the book, 3) attend section, and 4) do the practice problems (!!). Lectures were kind of confusing and often very indirect. They were entertaining, but not my personal learning style. The book is more direct, but I really would still recommend going to class. Sections were very straightforward.

I was definitely frustrated with the class at some points this quarter, but she was consistently nice, caring and helpful even if the class was a little unstructured! She posts everything online and has a very fair grading system, but she isn't always the most clear or organized with her lectures. She is helpful if you use her as a resource though!

Benelli is a nice lady, but honestly, lectures are kind of pointless. I managed an A in the course with barely showing up. What really matters is that you GO TO SECTION and DO THE HOMEWORKS. They are a big grade booster. Also you should for sure get the textbook, its really good and make sure to do practice tests on GS before exams super helpful.

WARNING: Every test had questions omitted, controversial answers, and unequal grading or a combination of all 3. Content is easy, but Cindy makes it 10x harder by over explaining and skimming hard, easy to miss concepts. Also witnessed her essentially disregard an international students concern about their understand of an english word on a test.

Cindy is an amazing person and professor. We did not get along at 1st but she grew on me. She provides a lot of resources to help you do well and the class comes with a huge curve. She is so smart and well educated. She also actually cares about her students and their lives, Ive had hour long discussions with her multiple times.

Benelli is all over the place. She spends way too much time on long-winded metaphors and often tests on things she briefly or never went over. The content itself is not super difficult but she makes it more complicated than it is. If you like to- the-point profs this is NOT the class for you. Went to every lecture and am still lost.

Her quizzes are nothing like the practice quizzes. Her lectures are unclear and hard to follow

Cindy is a very nice lady, but I could not follow her lectures AT ALL. She jumped from slide to slide, and never posted them after class like she said she would. Her grading was never clear. I also did all of the xc assignments which looked like I received credit for, but at the end, I only got credit for one ?? weird

Her way of teaching is very disorganized and although she claims you do not need the textbook or tophat, she pulls alot from them on the exams and has repeatedly put material on the test that we did not cover in class.

I absolutely adore Cindy Benelli: shes passionate about her field and you can tell how much she genuinely loves Econ. The class is, however, hard if you havent taken any Econ before, but if you took AP microecon in high school its pretty easy. There are three midterms and a final, and Id say theyre fair. Some homework, but not excessive at all

She talks a lot, as in she goes off topics into these weird tangents. She's nice, funny sometimes, and she's also really passionate about Econ so that makes her cool. She knows how to keep you up for an 8 am or even an 9am with her energy. She's all about *EcOn WoRlD* GOT IT?!?!?!?!

Make sure to go to lectures because she does not post slides as she lectures with her iPad. Offers extra credit but really your grade is going to be based off the tests. Good thing the subject isn't too difficult because her lectures aren't that great.

Mrs. Benelli is interesting. She knows what she is talking about but her teaching style is not very good. Her lectures are often messy and clunky and confusing. Her graphs aren't very good. She does not use power-point slides which is a BAD thing in economics. She zooms through lots of math and assumes we know things magically. Pretty funny though.

The material isn't super difficult but Benellis teaching is terrible. Her class is very disorganized and her lectures are just math based, very little explained in concepts. She does a bad job at explaining herself and often goes against the textbook or gives us wrong information. Overall, she is a horrendous teacher.

One of the worst economics professors I've had at this university, constantly makes mistakes and confuses students. Very disorganized in every aspect of the class, including test prep, gauchospace posts, and even lecture. Often does not even introduce the subject she is going over before jumping into some abstract calculations. Would not recommend.

She is a nice person, very caring compare to other professors. That being said, lecture is very hard to follow as she writes on her Ipad and is a bit all over the place. However, you have to attend class as notes are not posted and exams have questions gone only in lecture. Overall one of the easier classes in Econ if you have good math skills.

Contradicts herself in lecture very often. Unclear visuals that shell brush off if she cant properly explain it. Slides arent posted online so youre stuck copying down slides that shell always find a mistake on. Easy test grader though so its not hard to pass, but its a hard class to excel at.
