I feel the reviews about Professor Barrage are unfair. She cares about her students and knows the material very well and explains them as well as she can. The hardest part of this course is the curve, but that isn't set by the professor. The exams are all MC and are manageable if you do your work and study.

Good lectures, provides good insight and her intuition slides provide good intuition on why things work the way they do. Listen to lectures, study hard, and you'll do great. She had a bad rating but don't be scared, just work hard and it'll be fine. Midterms are pretty hard, but just do all the practice ones and attend CLAS.

Def not an easy A at all. However, it's not as bad as other reviews make it out to be. Tests were MC but designed to be confusing and throw you off, so you just need to make sure you not only understand all the material, but do practice tests to know how to approach different questions and their wordings. Barrage herself is caring and nice

Strongly advise anyone who needs to take Econ 2 to avoid Professor Barrage's class at all costs. Listen to the reviews, I for one definitely resonate with them after taking this class. Honestly surprised the school or department hasn't tried to take any action given how poor her feedback has been.

Honestly the worst professor or teacher I have ever had. Made my experience miserable and is the reason why I want to switch majors and no longer pursue economics. I was stressed the entire quarter, studied hard, went to weekly CLAS classes, and still did not do well. Moves at an extremely fast pace and it is so hard to obtain any information.

Way too challenging for an introductory econ course. Bends students over with her tests (which all have C/D averages) so hard that I'm still recovering. Lectures are way too fast. The material is easy to understand, but Lint decides to make her tests discouragingly hard. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.
