Oh so awful... Boring lecturer whose tests are much harder and nothing like the homework or practice problems. Constantly blaming class for not keeping up with Material when she doesn't teach it well at all. Also very rude, not approachable, and she gets upset if you disagree with her in the slightest. DO NOT TAKE.

Do not take!!! Worst teacher I have ever encountered. The tests are absolutely impossible, she literally expects you to be an economist after 5 weeks of her course. Class material and homework and NOT reflected in tests which are worth practically your entire grade. Blames class for poor performance when it's really her test writing ability.

Classes are a mix between boring lectures, badly explained and executed class activities, and time where we can ask questions (her telling us how dumb we are for not getting it) She's unapproachable and makes simple concepts hard to understand, so try to learn the content from some online website or something. And tests are very hard, don't take.

This class is very hard. The average for the first test after the curve was a 60. The homework is a waste of time and does not help you on the test. Textbook is expensive and does not help.

I understand that managerial economics is a hard course. But she just takes it to the next level. An example of this. The class will get a problem wrong not because we don't understand economics and how to apply it, but because she gives us the longest and most complicated derivative possible. This is NOT a calc class!

She can be ok in one on ones in office hours, but hardly anybody could come since they were set up at a bad time. Otherwise, in class she doesn't explain things well and gets defensive and flat out rude if you ask a question she doesn't like. You can't approach her or talk with her, she basically tells students to shut up and stop being stupid.

She was the most unhelpful teacher so far. She refused to give us a sample final exam and refused to give us anything to help guide our studying. When asking her questions she made you feel stupid and bad and would just say to lookover notes.

WARNING. DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR hw 15%, quizzes 15%,midterm 25%,class activities 10%,final 35% hw and book don't support her lectures, she looks for essay written answers for exams, not enough class time to explain how she wants you to answer qs in exams. Looks down on her students if they don't understand material. You need heavy math exp.!

Not as bad as the reviews, but she expects a lot. HW does not coincide with quizzes/exams. If you attend the lectures, take good notes, and ask questions the quizzes/exams should be okay. Finding the answer will not receive full credit, you have to explain with reasoning. The style of notes Camelia gives is how you want to format your answer.

Ask lots of questions and solve sample quizzes, exams, and problems on your own, in order to get decent grade. Lectures and HW barely scratch the surface of what's seen on quizzes and exams. Only given 30m to solve quizzes, no room for errors or for starting over. Extremely critical grader. Expects long-winded explanations.

The quizzes and homework doesnt really matter. It all boils down to the midterm and final which is more like an English essay explaining the math rather than doing it.

Awful professor. Avoid at all cost. Had a 98% on the class after getting 100% on two or three quizzes. The midterm came a long, I studied hard even with a paid tutor and got a bad grd, dropped my grade to a C-. Nearly everyone in the class failed. Then proceeds on saying that the midterm was just like the sample midterm.. not even my tutor agreed.

Not sure why people are saying the class or exams were hard. The majority of your grade is based on the two exams but you are allowed to use a full letter sized cheat sheet for both exams (both sides final) you can literally put a sample question from each topic on your cheat sheet if you use a small font like 7pt and have no reason not to get 100.

My advice for taking this class is to ask as many questions as you can. For much of this course, I was trying to figure out what things "I don't know, I don't know," since the exams have different problems than the classwork, homework, and quizzes. See if you can use the sample questions that are tucked away in her syllabus to see if that helps.

Okay so this class isn't hard but its very easy to get lost and not understand what's going on. You can always have zoom meetings with her in case of anything. Her Exams aren't hard but their definitely not easy you have to study to pass. Loved the professor decided to minor in Economics of her.

The worst professor I've ever had to deal with in my entire educational career. The average score on the final was 64.6, which is absolutely absurd. Lectures were beyond dry and there was little to no student participation. Classes were dead silent. The practice final was a complete waste of my time and the material utterly irrelevant. Avoid her.

Camelia was a nightmare of a professor!! Her exams are pretty much the entire class. Exams were weighted at 75% of the entire grade with 25% remaining being HW. No participation grade, no mandatory participation, HOWEVER, if you don't show up to class, EXPECT TO FAIL!! No quick responses to emails at all. Seems like she doesn't care about students

The worst instructor I've encountered. The grading system is heavily weighted towards exams leaving little room for error. Communication is nonexistent, with emails ignored and chronic lateness to class. Worst of all, there's no support for struggling students. Avoid at all costs.

Worst professor I have taken at UW. Very serious and boring way of teaching. Especially for a subject that more already find boring. FIND ANOTHER PROFESSOR. Useless for an online class as some finals and midterms are in person too. Can be unorganized at exam times. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE. Keep your sanity, choose someone else.

Camelia Bejan is one of the best professors at UW. You can tell she knows what she is talking about and explains all the economic concepts and math problems in detail. Her lectures are great and she gives real world examples. While the grade revolves around the exams, as long as you attend class and occasionally read the textbook, you'll be fine.

Take your time doing the homework and doing well on the exams. Invest in Chegg or software that explains how to do economics! Her explanations are also sometimes lacking so ask questions during office hours! Her other ratings don't do her justice and paint her as an evil professor, but she is one of the sweetest professors I've had at UWB!

I come from the distant lands of the University of Washington Seattle. I have taken this class before, and the prerequisite courses on the Seattle Campus. Professor Bejan teaches this class better than the professors at Seattle. Any review here below 3.0 is copium from not trying hard enough in the class.

Her class is good if you're a good student (you can pay attention and take notes). I don't understand the bad reviews, probably from the ones who are on their phone in the back smh. It's still economics, so it requires more effort than some classes, but she explains things throughly, and doesn't take forever either. You ask questions, youll be good
