Andrea is a little...quirky sometimes, but she can make an econ class really fun - something that isn't easily done. the class is somewhat challenging, but going to class really helps - she explains things much better than the book, and she reviews material constantly

You know how most classes no matter how many times you look at the clock, it doesnt seem to move! Well this class isnt like that! It goes by so fast! She makes class fun and puts econmics into terms that are easy for the students to understand, though the class is still challenging. However, I do not like that she randomly calls on people!

Andrea is an amazing person and she is SO willing to help. Tests and quizzes are hard, but anyone can pass with her help that she has to offer! She makes the large lecture hall of upwards of 150 students seem like a small dynamic classroom of 15. I learned SO much in her class and she is by far the best professor I have had.

Andrea was one of the nicest teachers I've ever had. ECON isn't really my strong suit and it showed. There's quizzes almost every week, and the group projects are tedious, but the points are helpful in the end. Andrea's wording is really confusing on tests and quizzes and you need to explain a LOT. Also, read because she'll call on you.

There is no attendance policy but it was hard to get caught up when I skipped. But I also thought that this class was fairly easy although so many people were failing. If you paid attention and did the reading the class was an easy A. There is so much extra credit opportunity after each test that I ended up getting over a 100 on both exams.
