Dr. Cramer engaged the class with her enthusiasm as she did an excellent character portrayal of Conservatives, Liberals, and Radicals. She encouraged self awareness in the political/economical realm of capitalism. What's more, she incited a lively debate where each student participated. I highly recommend her, but be prepared to earn your grade.

please do not listen to the first comment of this professor. she is excellent. all you have to do is be ready to try and the class will be easy. the person who left the comment is most likely a slacker. she will teach you more about life than economics alone and if you dont participate in life you will fail too.

By far this is the best professor I have had. As long as you give an effort you will learn so much about economics and the world. Her enthusiasm is unbeleivable and her style of teaching has allowed me to retain some very difficult information.

Great instructor, gives fair amount of homework, however you can see her TA's and they will basically tell you if your answers are worng (So that gives you pretty much full credit on all homeworks), tests are challenging and thought provoking, yet I scored B's on all three of them and still walked away with an A+ for the course.

Dr. Cramer is AMAZING! Her classes are the EASIEST ones to take at Pima and she offers tons of EXTRA CREDIT opportunities. You would really have to work for a failing grade. Her classes are never boring because she makes the subject interesting and exciting to learn. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Dr Cramer is phenomenal! If you are an Econ major, you MUST take her if you want a solid foundation to build upon. HW and tests are challenging, but fair. Attend class/take notes/attend office hours and ask questions, you'll do fine. TONS of extra credit opportunities. I've never had such a passionate, knowledgeable and caring professor...ever!

Amy is very effective in developing students' understanding of important issues from different economic perspectives. She doesn't promote any one perspective but rather helps her students productively consider different perspectives. A student is NOT encouraged let alone required to express his or her actual opinions in class. No text is required.

Some students don't take the course seriously because it doesn't just drill useless facts into their heads solely for a test. However, the fact that the course is interactive is the best part because you learn how to apply it to real life. Also her unbiased info on all political views is very helpful.

The ECN150 class "Voices on the Economy" is a great class and Amy Cramer know what she's talking about. I loved that you learned the different perspectives (conservative, liberal and radical) on economic issues without getting pursued to agree with one of them so you can create or extend your own opinion about that stuff what's going on right now.

Ms. Cramer is certainly a quirky instructor. Her ECN150 course focuses heavily on the political divide between Liberal, Conservative, and Radical theorists. So, if you don't like discussing your politics, don't take her class. Otherwise, it is not difficult to get through her class with an A. Bring your drama skills to bear.
