The Textbook was expensive goddamn

A really understanding and caring professor that presents in a clear manner (really good slides for people who find themselves skipping class often).

She always tried to find relevant material for the students, often talking about things happening in the present, and a lot of the group work also dealt with actualities.

Manageable exams if you study on time.

Overall, a great and very kind professor would take again 100%!

I love Professor Boswell. She genuinely really cares about her students, and is such a lovely person. I went to her office hours, adn even if you didn't have questions you could talk, and she would twist the conversation into something economic. The class was boring, but you can't expect much from a Pre-Req, I also dropped the major so it just wasn't for me in general. I recommend Boswell over other econ professors I have had though. She is fair, funny, and go to office hours you wont regret it!

The class was online with multiple choice, open book/note midterms and final so it was an easy class, however the professor was a bad lecturer and I feel like I didn't learn much at all in this class. Her lectures were all over the place, and sometimes she would repeat herself, or forget what she was talking about, or contradict herself in the next sentence. When watching the lecture recordings, I would often play it back multiple times since it was just super confusing to understand her overall point.

Easy A, but you barely learn anything and her lectures are boring, bad, and frustrating.

I basically entirely stopped going to this class by week 3. Reading the textbook or looking through lecture slides, or both if you're locked in or something, is all you really need to do. That making the most of all the former tests she posts. Basically what I did was read textbook and then do practice problems and that was more than enough to comfortably get an A in the class. Going might be helpful I would imagine it is but honestly if its still in Dodd hall it was hot asf in there so I stopped going, and its too far to make it worthwhile. Class is also livestreamed if you want to do that. She goes too quick in lecture and rambles/meanders, too much for you to take good coherent notes which is another reason I just decided to only use the textbook.

She is very very helpful though. You can ask her anything in her office hours in person or through zoom and she is great. She also has a great policy where you can basically contest anything on the tests that you get wrong, and she is pretty open to hearing arguments. So you can potentially raise your grade substantially if you have a legitimate gripe with something you got wrong.

Overall a pretty manageable class that wasn't really all that hard. Very good and helpful professor. Assignments were a pain but just gotta grind them out. Get a good group of your friends.

This class is broken up into 2 midterms, 1 final and 3 projects. so getting a good grade is very possible. I will say the professor moves at insane pace and it's almost impossible to write everything she is saying even on a computer. everything is recorded so that does help. Her slides are super helpful and she gives previous midterms and finals to prepare for the current midterm and final so that alone should make you even more confident and comfortable to take the class. Anyways she is really funny and a good professor and attendance is optional so W.
