Tests are hard as hell...Its not hard to pass But the tests are killer. Shes very oring and not helpful during class. Shes nice outside of class but its hard

Tests are very hard. long boring overheads. very helpful out of class. her concepts and ways to explain things are very poor. not very knowledgable.

Great class, she knows her stuff. She gives great notes and she's always willing to give out extra help for homework and the tests.

She provides lecture notes but she gives out a lot of in class exercises. If you go to her review sessions to go over the homework you are guaranteed an A on it plus the tests are just a permutation of the homework. If you do the homework and understand completely then you will get an A in the class. If you go to class and listen the HW is simple.

She seems real hard at the begining of the semester, and she gos kinda fast through the material if you dont slow her down. But shes a pretty good teacher, open to office hours, and doesnt hate ASU too much.

she is good. Always willing to help~it is a easy A if you go to class everyday

She was a cool teacher, during the lectures i fell asleep alot, never really showed up to class. But when i did show up, her notes are really useful on the test. She gives out homework which is very similiar to the exams and the study guide is helpful to. Not showing up to class garuntees you a C, go to class and go to office hours youll get an A

her ecn211 class is easier than the other profs. no need to buy the book, her notes "teach" the book and lessons very well. she lectures in lay man's terms most of the time and relates to us students which makes her lectures easier to comprehend.

Amazing teacher. The people that don't like her are the ones failing the class extremely helpful. Tests are based off of the homework. If you study you will get an A. Highly recommended.

If you don't pass you just aren't trying.

Take her class. She makes economics interesting!

The people who don't like her are the ones who don't study. The tests, while a little tricky,come primarily from the homework and notes. You MUST attend class, because only part of the notes are available online. Class is curved, a 62% is the lowest grade you can get for a "C". Five tests (including final) and four homework. Lowest test is dropped.

She's a very good teacher. I don't see why people don't like her. Tests can seem tricky, but the point is to know the concept, not just the HW answer. Her TAs are helpful too. She will be happy to answer your questions and try to make sure she teaches clearly.

This class is a little difficult, but that's just because there are 380 people in the class. If you sit in the first couple rows and pay attention, you'll find that she's actually a good teacher.

The best ECON teacher. Tests based off of homework. Class is curved where a 62% is a C. 4 25mc hw assignments, and 5 tests. Lowest score dropped.

Her homework matches her slides and if you study the slides you'll do well on the exams. The best of the econ teachers. It's macroeconomics so it will be hard.

Decent teacher, but you'll only do well if you REALLY pay attention and make sure you understand the homework really well. It's a big lecture class, so it can be difficult to really pay attention in, but she does her best to be engaging. Boring fill-in-the-blank notes that make it hard to care about what she's saying, but she's a good teacher.

If you go to class and take notes then review the notes and the study guide she gives you this class is easy to get in A in. If you just put in a little bit of effort it is easy to do well.

McDaniel cares a lot about macroeconomics and she shows it in every lecture. If you attend the lectures and take notes, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get 100s on the homeworks, which you can attempt four times (but it doesn't say what you got wrong). Her tests and homeworks are straightforward and there is no reason not to do well.

Likes to talk a lot and repeats a lot of topics multiple times. Lectures are a drone. Try to switch off with friends which days you will go to class. Homework is pretty easy if you understand the concepts covered. Tests are exactly the same questions as the study guide and pasts test, almost word for word.

McDaniel is a great professor! Don't waste your money on a textbook if you're not an econ major! It is important to get the notes/go to class so that you are prepared for the tests & online homework. Overall, good class if you aren't totally lazy!

Online Microecon. Lecture videos are well done. TA's did a good job. There are a couple questions on quizzes that aren't on HW; this can be a surprise but if you understand the concepts you can solve them. If you take thorough notes on the lectures and textbook you will get an A. She is very helpful through emails.

Summer 2013- Fantastic professor, summer course went by fast and so did the lectures, but Dr. McDaniel does great at explaining the material, went deeply over examples, provided in class exercises and would always offer and was available for office hours. I struggled on the tests, but she helped me understand and gain subject confidence. Must take!

Dr. McDaniel has a very straightforward teaching style. Everything on the test and homework is straight from her slides. She gives you practice tests before the test that are almost identical to the actual test. Super easy, easy A for sure. Go to class! She points stuff out for the test and homework is straight from the fill in the blank PPT notes!

Econ in general is boring so you kinda have to make yourself pay attention. The only bad thing I have to say about her is she sometimes uses complicated wording when something could have been said more simply. Go to class, fill in the slides, do the homework and you'll be fine. She's extremely straightforward in her teaching.

Saw so many students skip out on class: DON'T! If you go you get so much valuable material that WILL be on the test. Tests are pretty hard, you have to start to study a week in advance but as long as you know the key points you should do fine. Homework is easy 15 points. Drop lowest exam & homework. Take it if you are prepared to work hard for an A

VERY essential to attend class! never once opened up the textbook, lectures are slides that you can print out and fill in the blank, very useful, if you study your slides you will do well on exam. GO TO CLASS and pay attention, that is the best advice for this course! otherwise it is a good class to attend and a lot of info

Her class is boring yet very clear and straight forward. Go to lectures and do homework, you'll get an A or A+. She is also very passionate and helpful. If you think her class is hard, probably econ is hard for you.

repeats stuff a lot in lectures, but you'll be glad she did in your higher classes since she forces it to stick that way. don't just memorize the questions she gives in homework/ practice tests- understand why and research how. must attend class. Didn't use book. She's a lot easier than most ecn teachers at ASU.

Very good teacher. If you go to class and do the Homework you will do well on the exams. Read the chapters that helps you understand the questions for the homework and the practice exams.

I don't know why so many people not recommend this teacher. Her class is indeed a little bit boring. Not so much discussion because all her classes are large size with hundreds people. But if you want to get good grades, definitely choose this teacher. The slides she posts are very useful, almost cover all the lecture and exam. And remember, do HW!

Professor McDaniel is a pretty good professor overall - she's fair, clear about her expectations, and willing to help outside of class. The material is pretty dry, but she does a good job of making it interesting. Go to class, do the homework, do the review tests, and you'll do well in the class.

She is very clear with her expectations. You have to study at least three whole days before the exam and make sure you get every concept if you want to get a good grade. Show up to class or you won't pass. If you raise your hand and ask questions during class, she will try to explain the subject more thoroughly. She seems like a nice lady.

12 HW, 20 min. each, easy points. 4 tests + a final, lowest is dropped, those were easy too. I never got the book, only wrote about 5 pages of notes all semester (you can print out fill in the blank notes if you prefer), never studied. Final grade 522520, didn't have to take the final: lowest test gets dropped. Great teacher, easy A+, go to class!

So economics isn't easy or interesting (unless you're an econ major). However, Dr. McDaniel is very helpful. She gives you 2 tries on homework using the same questions, she provides 4 copies of each of her previous tests, and the feedback for graded homework is extremely helpful. Show up to class, do your homework, and review the tests and pass.

McDaniel's class is very easy to pass, just come to class and take notes and you will be fine on the tests. Literally every question on her tests are discussed in some way in class, so just fill in the notes. Homework is a joke, and she gives 2 tries for credit (work with a partner for 4 tries). Easy class as long as you show up and not sleep... A+

She's awesome. You don't technically have to go to class she doesn't have an attendance policy but if you want to pass you should probably go. But she makes it fun, it was a 9 am class for me and i actually wanted to get up and go.

I expected to hate her "team activities" but they were actually really helpful. Took this class at the same time as 313 and they cover a lot of the same material. Probably the only reason I passed 313. I liked the book. The examples in it really help with the homework. If you miss more than 2 classes she drops you a letter grade.

Class isn't always super-thrilling, but you can learn a lot from this (especially as an early elective for Econ majors). Attendance is required, but notes are all posted online--I didn't even crack the book. Homework is due weekly online, but it and the tests aren't too tough. Overall, would recommend.

I took this class as an online course. The class was difficult but McDaniel really seemed like she cared about her students learning. She was very involved in the class through online postings and answered questions very quickly. Read the book, watch the lectures, take notes, do the homework, and you'll succeed.

At first was scared to take this class based on what others wrote, but she has been one of the best professors at asu. Once you get passed the mandatory attendance and group situation, you will learn a lot. If you're looking for an easy simple A class for credit, find another one. But this professor will teach you to love and understand banking.

Class is hard. If you go into this class knowing you will have to work you will be fine. Go to class, take notes, and do the homework. Do the practice tests and make sure you know and understand all the problems. In class activities are very helpful in understanding the material. Learned a lot in this class. Great teach overall.

Great teacher that truly knows the economics of monetary policy and central banking. The in-class activities do an excellent job of teaching difficult subjects. A good balance of quantitative and qualitative on the tests. She gives you practice tests without the key but they are great practice for the test. Reading the book helps clear up anything.

Avg class. Lecture can get very boring and hw due every sunday. The material is really interesting but subject to painful slides. Opened book once and got a B+. Tests are like the practice tests but can be tricky. Probably easy A if you pay attention and take lots of notes. cumulative final which can be rough and she added a 3% curve at the end.

Dr. McDaniel's Honors section contains 3 exams, a cumulative final, weekly homeworks, daily quizzes, and four essays regarding contemporary topics. If you are interested in learning macroeconomics, you will learn a lot and probably enjoy the lectures. No interest in econ? Look elsewhere. A+ is practically unattainable but 90% and above is an A.

This class is difficult, but definitely doable as long as you put in the effort. Her notes, class activities, and most importantly her practice exams are reflective of what you will see on your exams. She doesn't provide an answer key for her practice exams, but she will provide the answers if you visit her during her office hours.

Good lecturer, but McDaniel is phenomenal in her office hours (as long as you put in work to begin with) Pro tip: thoroughly complete practice exams with notes a few days before exams then visit her in office hours and she will help. She gives 3-4 bonus points on each exam. Very knowledgeable, but exam material can be tricky.

She is a great professor, if you need help she will be there to help during office hours. She curves the class insanely so she really tries to help us as much as she can. Final I got a B and my grade went from a 69.9% to a 78.9 which is a B rounded. only take class if you will work for it. PS. She doesnt give answers to study guide.

Dr. McDaniel is a great professor and knows her content very well. The class is a bit difficult because it covers so much. You can do well if you devote a fair amount of time to studying for exams and completing the homework. I found that the lecture slides were the best resource for studying. No answers for study guides make it a bit harder.

Excellent professor, class can be tricky to understand, but she's very accessible and willing to help. Material is presented in a very logical way that makes you think critically. 3 exams and weekly homework, but you get a couple of attempts and she offered extra credit. Attendance is part of participation grade. Highly recommend this professor!!

Professor McDaniel is a great lecturer and gives you all the information you will need for the exams. She is always available in office hours if you have any questions, and she always knows her stuff. It may be hard to get an A+ but an A is easily attainable with her grade cutoffs. Just review the handouts and do the practice test before the exams.

Dr. McDaniel is a very dedicated professor. She really helps refine the students understanding of topics and gives real-world applications. She is consistent in the way she runs the class, and there are no surprises. Test questions are often ambiguous but she does take feedback and sometimes adjusts scores. She works with you if there are issues.

Dr. McDaniel is exceptionally organized. You must read the textbook prior to class and watch lecture videos, but they are not unreasonable. Her lectures recap the most important parts of the reading and are well-explained, but don't think you can skip it. Her quizzes and tests are not hard if you take good notes. Daily clicker questions in class.

She definitely knows her stuff, but it's still a tough class.

If u pay much attention on the practice exam material. You will find the same question at exam.l promise l love economics so much easy to get an A

I thought she was great. She uses i-clicker so you are forced to pay attention in class. Allowed you to take 1 comprehensive exam and 1 comprehensive excel assessment to make up for any mistakes you made earlier. You are allowed 3 attempts on homework, which usually takes awhile to do. But the questions are usually the same you can max that out.

Dr. McDaniel is probably one of my favorite economics professors. She is very responsive and is willing to help you whenever you are struggling. The only thing I find annoying about the teacher is she makes you do these "minute papers" after every lecture that make you reflect on the content. Pay attention to detail on exams in order to pass them.

Professor McDaniel is one of the best professors in the Economics department at ASU. Her lectures are very interesting and she relates them to the real world. Make sure to go to her office hours, she is very helpful and will patiently explain concepts to you to make sure you understand. Read the textbook as well because it breaks down concepts.

Dr. McDaniel made her capstone a good summary of lots of important issues within economics and taught a really nice last course for the econ degree. Most classes required us to read articles and discuss the contents, but the later lectures had us each present on an economic issue of our choice. She is also a straightforward and great lecturer.

I graduated in May and had the privilege of taking 3 classes taught by Dr. McDaniel throughout undergraduate. Her rating is likely deflated by students who are not Economics majors. If you are an Econ major, take her classes (any of them). Dr. McDaniel embodies Economics, you will not be in a better place.

ECN310 is a tough course, but Dr. McDaniel provides you with the tools to succeed if you are willing to put in the work. She is also a very reasonable person that grades fairly and worked with me regarding the final due date due to extreme weather affecting my area. Highly recommended!

ECN 315 was a hard course. The exams and homework were difficult and she provides some extra credit opportunities. She is extremely knowledgeable however the lectures can get boring and falling behind is easy.

She cares about her students and is there to help answer your questions. She makes all the reading and it directly relates to the test however the material is a bit challenging and heavy.

The material is not difficult relative to average econ coursework. Her tests are pretty straightforward considering the amount of prep material that's available. Pop quizzes can be pretty annoying though. Overall, she's a nice professor that cares about the material and her students, and I genuinely found the content to be interesting and relevant.
