ECON101 . 4 Months Ago

Don't bother going to lectures, problem sets are tricky so I would recommend taking this class with a few friends or finding a study group. Midterm and final were not terrible and were pretty strait forward and similar to past exams.

I think her lectures are pretty clear. The midterm is easy, while the final is hard. The letter grades seem generous.

Her class is not as difficult as many people say. I doubt that those people don't attend the lecture at all. The lecture is very helpful and easy to understand, she explains everything clearly in class. If you attend the lecture and sections, and read some textbooks, the problem set is quite doable. The exam is hard but the curve is very generous.

She's not as bad as people say. Her lectures are pretty good, but you need to read the textbook on your own. Sections are important! Her homework is a little hard but doable. Although the final is hard, the curve is very generous.

The professor's lectures consist of her reading off slides, going on tangents, and skipping over math. She doesn't allow the TAs to help with problem sets, which are only doable if you self-teach the material before they are due. I recommend taking a different professor for this course if possible.

ECON101 . 5 Months Ago

Lecture slides skip over every math step needed to get the answer, VERY little practice problems that are on material taught. Lectures are pointless, she yaps about graphs that have zero relevance Grade is 30% homework (not free points, very difficult), 30% midterm, and 40% final. Do not take her, just don't. TAs don't know what's happening.

The in class lecture slides are 2005 esque memes, whereas the homework and and exams are straight impossible unless you spend time teaching yourself the entire course.

I feel the content is fine and close to the textbook, which makes it easier to review the class materials. The section slides provide some useful practice exercises.

ECON101 . 6 Months Ago

lectures are useless - calculation heavy class but her presentations are filled with useless examples from the nws when the class is based off mostly calculations and equations. little help for exams and the worst class ive taken at ucsb by far - worse than 10a, worse than 100b, worse than 140a and 136a-c series - she needs to be fired

ECON101 . 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

She saved Hartman. I don't know how to describe her. Just leave her. Your TA doesn't know how to do the homework. Also, she doesn't have her email address. She got a google email answered by head TA. I don't even think the head TA is a gaucho. Thank you for ruining my UCSB experience in my last quarter.

Hands down, the worst professor/teacher I have ever had at any level. Lectures casually skip over several steps of multivariable calculus with little to no explanation. TA's are instructed to NOT help students on the homework, and even if they were allowed to, they are just as confused as the students. Do not take this class with her at all costs
