Benelli is one of the best econ professor that I've had in UCSB. She is really nice and helpful. Her test is not hard as long as you attend lecture and take good notes. just pay really close attention in class and you will do fine.

don't take her unless you feel like torturing yourself for a quarter. she is nice, but provides little to NO examples on problems you need to do for hw and tests. i've also never seen an econ teacher with such poor understanding of rudimentary math. this class sucked

Very nice and extremely happy. A little bit confusing, notes scattered and unorganized, but overall not too difficult.

She really needs to put her notes online!! It's so frustrating to try and write everything so quickly just from what she says. You have 2 homeworks, midterm, and final.

She seems nice and cool in the beginning, but she doesn't put her notes online, so you're scrambling during class to get everything down, and she doesn't have the best notes. She's extremely unhelpful during office hours, talks to you in a kind of condescending way and doesn't help at all.

Excellent and fun teacher. very smart but not cocky like other teachers in the same department. Tricky tests and very hard if u dont go to lecture. Class is easy and teacher is very helpful during office hours.

She's awesome and her tests are pretty easy except for her essay questions. And if you ask her about the essay she just dances around the topic because she wants you to figure it out on your own but even with that said, her class is not too hard and I recommend her!
