easy teacher. Would definitely recommend you to take her for Econ.
Best Teacher for economices. Explains everything in detail. Alway there if u need some help.
A Very good teacher...if you don't get it the first time, she'll explain things more than once so you can get the picture...got an A in 2302 and now im taking her for 2301.
This teacher is awesome. She's patient and understanding. I've taken and dropped this class twice before for different reasons but with her I got an easy A. She's the best and she enjoys teaching-that makes all the difference.
good teacher, but tests had nothing to do with what she taught
Nice teacher, but what she lectures and what is on the test are usually two different things. I dont really recommended
very easy but sometimes you had trouble understanding. I do recommened though.
shes changing up a bit. HCC told her that she gave too much As and now shes gets harder. Test r hard. Shes a very nice person though. I made a C and I'm participate the most in the class
why did she gave me a C. She teaches scatterly and you will get lost sometimes. She has funny stories though. Ppl on the site says that she's easy i guess she got harder.
SHE IS A VERY NICE TEACHER I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO MY FRIEND. SHE TEACHES VERY GOOD. VERY FRIENDLY AND GOOD LOOKING
I dun't knw why everyone says she's easy. Her tests are hard as hell. Her teaching is very scattered. I got a C in her class but got in A in Macroeconomics which is suppose to be harder. I wouldn't recommend her. I would recommend Dr.Nuwal, he's an AWSOME teacher for econ.
If you actually listened and wrote down what she did during her lectures, her class is easy. I slept through one lesson and i was screwed after that, you can listen to her and not read, or not listen to her and read, the first one is easier.
She's easy but if she does not like you from the start, then she always looks at you weird. she has class pets and always suspects people of cheating.

She is easy but her test are hard as a ****
cool teacher.
Man she is a pretty easy going teacher and its a pretty easy going class . . . but i think her test are kinda tricky. but i recomend her
Awesome teacher...i would suggest....Go for it.
She is a good teacher. I knew nothing about eco and now it all makes sense thanks to her. Tests are easy. I ended up with like a 96. TAKE THE CLASS!!!
econ is hard as hell but she makes it alittle easier. she is the only teacher i know who gives personal tutoring and she gives her actual cell phone to her students and responds to emails really quickly. shes a dedicated teacher. none like her. i recomend her to everyone looking for a good econ teacher.
Easy B, Hard A. After taking her for Macro i took her for Micro knowing that i would get taught right. Eco is hard and she makes you learn easily. That is why here classes are always full, the other professor from what i heard "SUCK". Just pay attention in class study the reviews and a "A" will be with you.
Nice teacher, took her for Econ 2301 and was great and decided to take her again.
This teacher is very helpful and her tests are mostly like her reviews. I just took her for the mini session and she devoted most of her time to help us after the class was over. She loves her job and teaches well. I learned alot if you pay attention and do the reviews. Easy B hard A.
WELL!!!THE TEACHER IS VERY GOOD VERY HELPFUL,FUNLOVING TOOK CLASS WITH HER AT MINI SESSION SHE DEVOTED MOST OF THE TIME TECHING US AFETR CLASS.....I HAVE PLANNED TO TAKE MACRO WITH HER...SHE IS GREAT TEACHER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....IF U DO ALL HER REVEIWS AND REVIEW HER NOTES THEIR IS NO MATTER U DUN GET AN "A"...I GOT IT TOO:)
SIMPLY REMARKABLE... cannot find a better kind hearted, intelligent, clear instructor anywhere... very involved with students, tutors, also founded the business club and south asia society of america, want to do a lot for the community.
ABSOLUTALLY GREAT PROFESSOR. SHE WAS THE BEST. WHOEVER RATED HER BAD DID ABSOLUTALLY NO WORK IN THE CLASS! SHE MADE IT EASY, SHE DROPPED THE LOWEST TEST, AND YOU DIDNT EVEN NEED THE TEXTBOOK. I HATE ECONOMICS, BUT SHE TUTORED ME AND HELPED ME DO GOOD IN THIS CLASS. WITH DECENT WORK, (EXPECTED IN COLLEGE) EASY B, AND WITH SOME HARD STUDYING EASY A
Her lecture is very interesting but her test has no correlation with her lecture. If you want a "B", you must have a good grasp of the lessons. And to pass her class you must have the ability to apply with what you were taught. Test is kind of like the AP test in high school. ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE. Otherwise, Very cool and easy-going teacher.
extremely nice and helpful, but the tests are hard. She is very adept at breaking down concepts, however many students do poorly because they can not recognize the questions on test, and to match it with what was lectured in class. there is a test booklet reserved in the library,make sure you study it, and you will do well. she's very pleasant
She's good at what she does, and knows her material.
if u are from pakistan or india then u will do good but if u are not good luck....all the good coments are from pakistanis and indians.....DO NOT TAKE HER.......
Hard Test, Late for every class(at least 10 mins), her teaching are horrible, making the concept so complicated. I just 'self - study' and google it for this class. Why tons of ppl recommend this pros? Go for Mr. Lewis. He is real cool & easy.
Nice lady but extremely hard to understand her lectures. She scribbles all over the board and its hard to even take notes! She does play favorites more than half of my class was southeast asian and i see why. She would even have them answer her cellphone calls! I do not recommend this teacher!
I took her last semester and she was not as good as others previously mentioned. She DOES pick favorites, sometimes it seems that they know the answers (if u know what i mean). She tends to go off topic on her lectures, so i recommend that try to teach yourself the material from an old high school textbook or older edition. GOOD LUCK!!
She is a good teacher, nice and easy to understand. Her tests are sort of hard it's totally different from her test reviews. If you don't go to class and pay attention than you will fail.
do not take her take Mpanugo at alief at nights she gave me an F Mr. Mpanugo gave me a B.....do not take her.....ok......
she is a damn easy teacher...she hardly teaches anything..the only thing she teaches in her class is..SASA and BUSINESS CLUB. this is not an econ class..it's a fun class
Always LATE, always DISORGANIZED, always SCATTERBRAINED. We have to be on time. why can't she be on time.
why take a teacher who has no respect for students. why is she still working at hcc? doesnt even assign a textbook
she is simply the best i never seen teacher as well as women like her she is very honest with her profession.hats of to you

SIMPLY REMARKABLE... cannot find a better kind hearted, intelligent, clear instructor anywhere... very involved with students

Wonderful teacher. I really understood it after she taught it.
one of the professor i ever had in hccs.Her lectures are very intersting.Highly recommanded
Dr.Ashraf is a very nice lady, she really cares about her students, she will help you and will have time for you always. She is very dedicated with her organizations, Her classes are very interesting, she makes them fun, there's always something new to learn with her.
ONE OF THE BEST ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT HCC . EASY TO UNDERSTAND VERY HELPFUL. IF YOU COME TO THE CLASS AND STUDY U WILL MAKE AN EASY A. HIGLY RECOMMANDED
Very good professor and very helpful to students and also Easy A to get, just show your interest and try going to tutorials whenever she asked you to do so..
TAKE HER!!!! I don't know why her easiness rating is so low...it says 3.4 easiness, but it should be easily at least 4.0. She's extremely helpful! I'm finishing up her May-Mini-Mester right now...it's a piece of cake...100s or more on all the tests...however if struggle a bit more, expect grade more like a lower A or B. Make a C if you dont try
minimester microecon...take her...easy...i dont do any work outside of class (no homework)...i dont even study for the tests until i get to class...easy A...but im smart (not a genius, but smart).
I would for sure take her. It is an easy A if you pay attention in class, I do nothing outside of class because she makes it very clear during her lectures. Great Teacher
Best teacher ever! Explain everything well and sure she cares abt her students a lot!!! Pay attention in class, and you will be fine! Easy to get a good grade if u work for it! TAKE HER! LOVED HER CLASS SO MUCH! N got an A!
best ever professor of economics at Hcc
can anyone tell me about how to study for her test, i heard that her test is really hard and different with what she teach?
She's a really great professor. Attend her classes, write good notes, and you'll fine. If you need help, just ask her and she will offer her help.
About her tests: go to the irvin tucker book's companion site, do the questions there and study the definitions. Write good lecture notes and learn them well. Graphs: very important, master them. Whatever she emphasizes on the board (graphs usually) is the bonus question. I got 100+ in all her tests with bonuses. Good Luck!
Over all the examples she gives are helpful but she complains about being there (esp. her morning class) and she has to be corrected at least once each class. If you are confused about something she can further confuse you by trying to understand her own question, or the practice quizzes she does with the class. Can Be Frustrating!
BEST TEACHER IN HCCS.
NOT A GOOD TEACHER. RUDE, UNORGANIZED, ALWAYS LATE.
this prof is awesome.tons of extra credits in the class. she literally told us the test answers last semester and she wants her students to learn something from the class and use the stuff in practical life.
very bad, really upset in her class, she didnt do anything in the class nothing at all, she need to give students some kinda work to get grades she is so lazy and alwys late
I had her for Fall 2010. She's always late and unorganized but she's very helpful. Most people who leave negative comments don't come to class or don't take the time to learn the graphs. Don't need the textbook, a few online quizzes and 4 tests (including final) and she drops one. Pay attention and you'll likely get an A like me!
She's a alright teacher she could respond to emails more often. Maybe get an assistant. Have lots of respect for her. She's got too much on her plate
Professor Ashraf is okay, she is easy if you go to class everyday and listen to her talk about her daughter's love for Onion and how she's at Cornell. Plus, if you want to make an A you're gonna have to do atleast some extra credit if you're an average student like me. Either donate money or help her physically collect stuff or help with logistics.
Professor Ashraf is a great! I took her class at Spring 2011. She explains the material very clearly, you just have to attend the class regularly, different you will be lost in graphs. I did not have a book, but she was very kind and offers to the students her books to use, so I got one from her.I wish we had more professors like her.
This teacher was wonderful !!! I made an A no problem. I just took it Spring 2011 at night. She tried to entertain us with her jokes to keep us awake but did not work at all times. She gave us homework and then we went over it in class and she posted the correct answers on blackboard and used the same exact questions on her test. EASY!!
Mrs. Ashraf is a really nice teacher. She gives you a lot of work because she does not want you to be failed in her class. I wish i could take her again. If you work hard, you'll deserved it. I made an A in her class. She does not want people cheating either. Be aware cheater! i would highly recommend her for people who are not lazy.
SHE IS REALLY NICE TEACHER. SHE CLARIFIES EVERYTHING IN CLASS. THE TESTS ARE EASY. QUIZ QUESTIONS ARE THE SAME AS SHE ASKED IN THE TEST. SHE JUST DO IT FOR HER TO KNOW IF STUDENT UNDERSTAND IT. BUT IT ALSO GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU STUDY THE TEST U GOT EXTRA EASY POINT FROM QUIZ.
She has a great personality. Really good at clarifying difficult materials. She gives easy tests and many bonus points. I really recommend her.
Great teacher. knows how to spark her student's interest
Great teacher. Late and unornized but will try to help student as much as she can. Will let you finish test even if you ran out of time. I would still recommend her but not on a friday night. I still dunno my grade but im quite sure that I get the grade I deserve.
She is a really nice teacher that will try to help u pass if u show that you care! D issue with her is that she is unorganized & even forgets what she tries to teach at times plus now she began using the applia software for homework, assignments & tests, the class is alot more difficult. Unless u r naturally good at econ, she might give u headaches
She is a great professor! She helps you out a lot and tries to do what's best for your grade! However, was confusing at times. Tests aren't so easy so study and pay attention. She also gives a lot of bonus points!!
She is very helpful, and tells the students to read the book to better understand the material. I did what she did and came out with an A in the class. Just make sure to read the book and keep on top of things and it's an assured A!
I attended class, never missed a day. But i barely understood the material that this teacher taught, and when i thought i understood it, my exam grades would say otherwise. The APLIA tests are really tricky, so take this class on your own discretion. I'd be lucky if i walk out with a c in this class.
OMG!!!!! What she teaches in class is completely different on the tests. She is so confusing she doesn't follow the book at all.
She never showed up and expected you to teach yourself and if you don't you won't pass
First off, Mrs. Ashraf is really nice. The problem with her is that her class is VERY unorganized. Our class had one test the entire semester. That test had barely any of the lecture material because it was based from Aplia. After that we didn't have another test until 1 week before finals-we had THREE tests in 2 weeks! Would not recommend!
Her class is extremely unorganized, the only material we are given to study is what she teaches in her lectures, there is no single textbook dedicated for the class. she picks and chooses who her favorite students are, so if she does not like you and you ask an question in class, expect a rude response. there is a reason why she is employed at HCC
One word for this class: HORRIBLE. As a person, she seems kinda nice, but as a professor she is just something else. Class was extremely unorganized, comes late and talks long, no set textbooklesson to read on, and tests had nothing to do with what she taught or gave us to review. Take this class if you want to fail.
she's super nice. but she's a mess, missed a lot of classes, was late to all about 20 minutes. didn't give us a book to go buy even though tried to save us some money but still wasn't clear about what to study. i didn't really learn anything because everything was so confusing! just don't take this class if you want to learn.
Barely pays attention to her students, not clear on instructions, doesn't even properly cover the material, do not take her, there are better alternatives. Your Opportunity Cost will be better spent never taking Professor Ashraf.
She is by far one of the worst Economic teachers at HCC, she is completely disorganized, her tests do not cover what she teaches, barely any homework, and constantly harps about students failing when she barely teaches in the first place.
This professor was completely unorganized. She talked down to us as if we were the stupidest people on earth. The lecture had ZERO to do with the tests, it was more based on her outlook on the world. I learned more about Economics 2301 in the first four chapters in Economics 2302 (which I took the following semester) than I did in the 16wks.
She's eager to help students and wants what is best for them. Tells us to listen to NPR radio station. I started to at work and gradually everyone has started to listen. She is cool and real helpful. Even gives study questions for practice. Encourages study groups from day one. SHE's THE BEST.
Surely one of the best professor at Houston community collage. She goes extra mile to help students. Extremely helpful, very clear lectures. I have never seen more helpful professor in my academic career.. Must take professor
This teacher is always come late (30mins or more) and just talk about herself. The review for tests (over 100 questions) never include in the test . The test is easy but it becomes difficult cause she doesn't teach anything in this class.
Worst teacher ever, she's sweet and nice ,but she has a heavy accent! Her class is boring, she confuses people in the class. Would not recommend her at all.
Very sweet. Her accent isn't that bad as other students are stating. She wants you to get the best grade possible. Extra credit and extra time on the test available.
Best teacher in Economics. She explains terms and relations pretty well. The key to passing her class is understanding the relationship between the different graphs. It's not a hard concept and you'll be glad you took this course. The prof is a bit disorganized but there's no HW or quizzes. Textbook not needed. Easy A if just listen.
Goes the extra mile to explain how economy makes the world go around with colorful examples rather than boring us with required definitions and graphs. 3 Exams consisting of 90% MCQ's, 2 quizes and a department final. Gave extra credit and curved exam grades for those who participated during class. Easy A if you read book and take notes. Take her!
worst professor i have ever taken
Run Away From Her!!!!!!!!!
The class is so confusing. The tests are a little hard, but she gives extra credit. She is sweet and willing to help the students. There is no assignment or group project.
Shes sweet, shes funny BUT shes no help at all, all she does is make up scenarios and explain with graphs ONLY on the board. Her tests are WORD problems & nothing to do w lecture. She will give prblm question practice but wont even tell you the answers. She said we need to dig deep when I told her I dont understand it!No review on test!!
Good Professor! give extra credit, curve the grade!
The tests were just like the reviews. However, you need to study the review because she did not give all the answers. If you do not understand anything, she is willing to explain to you and make sure you get it before she move on to the next points. Overall, best professor!!
She is sweet but sadly she is very unorganized because she say abd do things last minute, exams too hard yes exams should be hard but should be similar to what you read in the chapter and the quizzes. Makes u bring ur own scantrons. She should provide them. To me, she doesnt "teach". Acing assignments dont really help ur grade so dont miss one
She is awesome, Esay A. you just need to do homeworks and quizzes. 2 exams and 1 final but they are so easy you just need to study reviews. Take with her.
I recommend to take her. She is really good.
Took her for macro and micro econ. She's unorganized but if you pay attention to the things she lectures, you can do well on the exams. You may have to do alot of learning on your own for certain concepts but the exams itself are fairly easy and are the majority of the grade makeup. You gotta work for your grade
Professes Ashrafs class was a bit disorganized but she usually made amendments as soon as she could. She had only 3 major tests including the final and most of her online work was Fairly easy well. The exam questions can be found in quizlet and chegg. No written assignments and HW quizzes like other teachers.
