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.

I lowkey didn't understand her lectures and ended up reading the textbook. she talks about things completely unrelated and the tests have little to do with concepts so its really hard to study. The averages for her midterms were like C's and the curve is so stupid. Only 10% of the class gets an A. Only take if you need it and are willing to get a C

The material is rather easy to understand, but professor makes the tests extremely more difficult than her homework or things she teaches in lectures. Some questions are on things that were never even mentioned. Avoid taking this professor at any cost. No leniency or forgiveness. Midterms are impossible

Professor Barrage is an interesting choice. Although having a very nice and encouraging personality, her lectures are quite the opposite. She would rather sprint through 70 slides in 75 minutes rather than taking her time to properly acknowledge subjects. Prepare for this course to become self-taught and tests are too difficult.

She is a really bad professor, her lectures at Econ 2 can be really uninspired and useless. The midterms and final are impossible indeed even if you could review more your notes and use Pearsons e-book efficiently. Lecture is really useless to take in person, and professor Barrage is definitely a bad choice.

She is a really good professor, her lectures at Econ 2 can be really inspired and useful. The midterms and final are difficult indeed but if you could review more your notes and use Pearsons e-book efficiently. Lecture is really important to take i. person, and professor Barrage is definitely a good choice.

The TAs are so much more helpful than the professor. Go to section, and concepts become so much easier to understand. Be sure to do the readings and practice problems on Pearson. Her lecturing is decent. Her tests are difficult, but there is a curve.
