Professor Boswell was medicore. Very dry lectures often fell behind in material and then tough really fast the following lecture to catch up which was not helpful. Her exams were hard it was helpful she emailed out past exams, but they were still hard despite the resources given to us. Homework is very lit just 3 group projects, nit very useful in studying for exams tho, just pretty just rely on past exams and lecture slides to study. Final was really hard, I was also suffering from severe salmonella from De Neve Dining so it may be a little easier otherwise, overall I didn't do that awful despite my situation, I just bombed the first midterm because I didn't really want to study after the fires. I don't like the fact that there isn't a better of two schemes even tho there is two midterm if that existed my grade would have been a lot higher, oh well that's one big warning do well on all the exams otherwise it will hurt you for the rest of the quarter.

This class was okay, the professor is nice and funny, but the midterms and finals were pretty difficult. The midterm ended up being curved by a couple questions which helped but the final tanked my grade... I had an A prior to the final then ended with a B+. She also did most lectures online which was nice in the moment but when it came to the final I probably would've learned better in person.

Professor Boswell was amazing, she really will give you all the tools necessary to succeed in her class. Econ 2 overall personally felt easier to me than Econ 1, she does a great job in explaining topics thoroughly and provides SEVERAL previous midterms and finals so that you can study for your current exams in her class. She is relatively generous in her grading and curving, if 3% of the class brings it to her attention that a question on an exam was misleading, unfair, etc, she changes and adjusts the points for the whole class. Lectures are in person but also streamed through ZOOM to accommodate students who are sick that day or can't make it to class. Discussion is not mandatory but VERY helpful. Assignments can be done in groups or independently and are not time-consuming at all. I would recommend you take her, she was really helpful and an overall great professor.

This class is pretty standard for an Econ 2 class. I would recommend taking it with Boswell because she really cares about student learning. She is very receptive to emails and will teach you a bunch of information in a pretty clear manner. I didn't attend lecture for the last half of the class and ended up with an A by just studying on my own, but if you go ahead and go to lectures this class will be a breeze.

The class breakdown is three group assignments which are worth a total 15% of your grade. You are in a group with three other members which makes the three question assignments go much quicker. There are two midterms which count for 25% of your grade each. They are 30 questions and you are allowed a cheat sheet back and front. My advice is to handwrite each cheat sheet verbatim from the slides and you will do perfectly fine. The final is worth 35% of your grade and is 60 questions. I would recommend doing the same strategy as the midterms. She will also give you points back for ambiguous questions which is awesome.

Overall I would recommend Boswell for Econ 2!

I took this class Spring quarter of my freshman year, and honestly, it was not too bad. Professor Boswell is a great lecturer and very straightforward about class material and what will be on the exam. She gave a lot of materials to help you practice and study for exams on your own, which were very helpful regarding what was going to be on both the midterm and final. I will say I would do a lot of practice problems and self-teaching outside of class when I was confused about topics because the TA sessions did not help at all. She does not give a lot of work but when she does the assignments are usually group projects which are never too difficult. It is super important to do well on the exams because that has the most weight for ending grades. As one who is on the Economics pathway, I did not mind this class and thought the Professor was good.

Boswell's lectures became ramble like at times, but the midterms and finals were very reasonable, and ample study resources were provided. If you go to office hours, she is very helpful, and is very interesting to talk to about stuff outside of the curriculum. No one really went to office hours outside of the week before the midterms, so Boswell was a good professor to be able to spend time with.

Very solid class. Lectures are recorded which is really nice, and they are very clear and easy to understand. 15% of your grade is group assignments that everyone gets 100% on. The rest are midterms and finals (25% each midterm, 35% final) which are difficult but totally manageable. She allows cheat sheets for the tests and she lets you make them huge so the tests are basically open note. Make sure you make good cheat sheets. Also use the MindTap section reviews/quizzes before each test - they really help and she takes questions from MindTap so its a great way to prepare. Class is not a lot of work at all - just study for a day or two before the tests and you're totally fine. Def recommend.

This class requires thorough understanding of concepts to easily grasp the main ideas being taught, focus and check past papers to succeed.

Good teacher but lectures get very boring. The exams can be hard but overall Professor Boswell is willing to help.

Boswell has great slides, and if you use her resources you can succeed. The class is graded on a curve, but she might not apply it if the distribution of grades in the class is close enough to the normal distribution. My only complaint is that she would occasionally go on tangents on topics not relevant to the coursework during lectures. However, she posts her slides promptly before or right after each lecture, streams lectures on Zoom, and posts recordings of lectures to watch asynchronously. She posts optional practice sets for each week. There are 2 midterms and a cumulative final exam. There are also 3 assignments that you do in groups, and you can either form your own group or work in the one she randomly assigns you. From what I remember, section attendance was optional. Overall solid class.
