Benelli gets easily distracted in class and tells personal stories instead of teaching material. She wasn't able to get through all the material necessary for the final in my class. Be ready to have to learn most of the material on your own since she rushes through notes in class time.

She's a mix of really good and poor qualities. She's very lenient, especially with late work and grading, pretty much everyone passes. However, her lectures are very disorganized and don't connect easily with the types of questions she asks on exams. You also have no idea what you're grade is until after the final. Teach yourself the material.

she is so confusing and her lectures feel pointless because she doesn't cover anything we are tested on.

Lectures aren't mandatory but you will have to teach yourself the material, her slides aren't very helpful. Exams are tough and questions aren't based on the lectures so you will have to read to understand. Study and read and you will be fine but wouldn't take her again

Benelli is nice but her class is so confusing especially the lectures, they make no sense. Her tests have nothing to do with what she teaches so you better get the textbook out or figure out some other way to learn the material. Good luck!

Super disorganized and all over the place. No structure. Grade is unknown until the last minute, lectures aren't helpful. Just hope for a good TA.

I have never had a professor so disorganized. I would avoid this class if possible, just take econ1 instead. I regret taking this course so much, her lectures are honestly useless and the only way the information was actually digestible was through my TA. Avoid this class at all costs!!

Cindy is a nice enough person, but is SO disorganized. The lectures make no sense and honestly confused me more every time I went to them. Quizzes every week, fair amount of homework. 2 exams with an optional final to replace your lowest exam score. Exams make no sense and are not reflective of any material taught. good luck

Cindy is really nice and caring. Her lectures are fun.

She is great

Cindy's ECON9 class is disorganized, but the material is fairly easy. Rely on the textbook and unstuck study for study help, as her lectures and exams don't always align. Not the most helpful professor, but a passable class overall.

Professor Benelli is a great professor. Her teaching style may seem a bit unorthodox, but she really cares about her students that show initiative. Showing up to lecture isn't mandatory, but its HIGHLY recommended! Most exam questions are hinted at during lecture, giving the students who show up an advantage. Thanks Cindy!
