Fall 2019 - Let's start with I love learning economic concepts. I'm a first year student and this was my first college level economics course. I was super excited going into the course, but was very disappointed. The first thing that really disappointed me was the professor's unwillingness/inability to respond to emails. Nothing sent to her was ever responded to. In addition, the Professor was unwilling to wear a microphone, which wasn't a problem for me since I usually sat in the front row. However, the one time I sat in the second row, I could barely hear her. While she seemed to be a very kind person, she did not always understand the material that she was supposed to be teaching. Basic concepts such as how to calculate slope (change in Y over change in X) confused her. Furthermore, the class progressed at a much slower than usual pace. We barely went through half of the material on the original syllabus, causing much panic and worry from everyone in the class about whether or not we will be prepared for Econ 102. Moreover, she had prepared slides, but often had trouble with the computer in the room and ended up not using them a majority of the time. Although I did not go in to office hours to talk to her personally, I heard that she was very helpful on the one monetary policy assignment (worth 20% of the grade and graded primarily on grammar). Overall, the class was relatively slow paced, repetitive, and the concepts were pretty easy. However, be prepared that a majority of your learning is going to come from your TA (find the best one to make sure you really understand the concepts) since the professor tends to confuse topics and the textbook was pretty vague.
