I work hard and get a A without curve. But actually I don't think it is easy to get A for this course. The concept or material isn't too hard, but the wording in exams sometimes are hard to understand, so you have to really work hard and prepare. But actually she is very responsible and the lecture slide is easy to follow, which can self-learned
Overall the class really isn't too bad. I didn't attend lectures at all, but the material is very easy to self teach. Concepts aren't hard at all, just her midterms/finals are worded incredibly confusing, forcing you to really understand the concepts.
Thought the reviews were over exaggerating. The wording on her tests are very confusing. I started doing better when I stopped going to lectures and taught myself the content. However, her class structure is easy to understand. Three tests each worth 30% of your grade and the other 10% is assignments. Trust the reviews.
Grade is based on 3 non-cumulative exams taken throughout the quarter. Not too difficult if you attend lecture and study using the past exams. Lectures can be hard to keep up with; she talks very fast and slides lack information. Final grade is curved. Honestly wasn't as bad as people say, but would not recommend if looking for an easy GE.
i took this class as an elective and it was a lot tougher than i expected. wouldn't take again.
Avoid this professor! Goes through slides too quick, doesn't do a good job at explaining concepts either. I thought the bad reviews were exaggerated, but they ended up being true. 3 midterms, worth 90%, practice tests don't even help prepare cause exams are MUCH harder. Just teach yourself the material or don't take the class with her.
Three tests that determine your grade. Averages on the first two tests were a 65% and a 60% which shows the difficulty and bad wording of them. Had a B+ going into the final test and got an 18/20 but still ended up with a B+. Bad class.
wanted to like her so bad since she is lowkey a girlboss. 3 tests worth 90% of your grade sound like they're written in a different language even though material itself is not hard. ta was confused by trick questions sometimes. told the class she makes it hard to weed students out of the econ major.
90% of grades are exams the worst professor ever never seen such a disgusting professor grading like her🤮
Pretty much self-taught everything. Don't take this professor, it's not worth the amount of stress you go through just to get a B. Take the other professor for Econ 1.
Not too good of a lecturer: fast-paced, just reads slides (all up online). I agree some test questions are worded poorly. Otherwise, she gives EVERYTHING you need to succeed (old exams, hundreds of practice ?s, daily TA OHs, section notes, Zoom exam prep, etc). Can't blame her for a bad grade, genuinely no excuses. If you want an A, you'll get one
her test questions are often inspired by random things, like this random dude that did a tiktok dance during out lecture. the exams were not that hard, if you go over the past exams thoroughly, u'll be ok. her questions are very unpredictable. self learned a lot. TAs don't do much but theyre nice. she would compensate if the class avg was low
