Lecture can be scattered at times, but Dr. T definitely knows her stuff. She seemed enthusiastic about the class and student comprehension, and she'll clarify anything you need over email or in office hours. Between lecture, office hours, TAs, and practice problems, there are plenty of opportunities to do well in this course. Exams are very fair

Covers everything you need to know in class and on the homeworks. Dr. Treado emails back very fast and will explain in detail any homework or exam questions. Mostly write the class notes on the whiteboard instead of boring powerpoints. I went to the undergraduate TA's review sessions, which were super helpful.

Carey is great! She gives you everything you need to do well in the class. The trickiest part of the class is the homework. It is online and you only get one attempt, but if you put some time into it its not bad at all and a lot times exam questions are very similar.

I liked Dr. Treado's class a lot. Lectures were not mandatory, but she did not post all of her lecture slides online, just a select amount. The homeworks were hard at some times but manageable. A lot of exam questions were straight from homework questions. She even took students' criticism on exam length and changed it. Awesome professor.

Very easy class if you just show up to class and take good notes. She does not go too fast at all if you know how to take good notes and only write important things down. She's really weird about not allowing electronics and not posting slides but other than that she's actually very nice and approachable.

Overall a decent choice. Tests weren't too bad and I was able get a high grade without showing up to lectures using the powerpoints she put up. Recitations were mandatory and directly contributed to my grade, however, I was able to get away with missing 4 since she allows you to make up for missing one with surveys. The homework can get pretty hard

Prof Treado is a really sweet lady. Her lectures aren't the most interesting in the world, but she does a good job of making the material palatable. Tests were a breeze as long as you kept up with the homework and the recitations.

She's a pretty solid choice. Do well on the homeworks and it'll seriously help you out with the overall grade. Very kind and willing to meet with you during office hours (you can see your test sheet after the grade comes out, & she'll go over it with you). Genuinely wants to see you pass.

Prof Treado is awesome, I don't know why she doesn't have a higher rating. The exams are easy enough if you go to class and she puts the powerpoints online which is helpful so you can pay more attention to what she's saying and then go back later to look at the notes. I liked that she talked about current events which made the material more fun.

I had previously taken Treado before in an upper level class, so I knew what to expect going in. If you're looking to pass the class without putting in effort, look somewhere else. If you're looking to learn a lot of applicable, real life things, this is the class for you. The grade I received was the result of me not showing up to class enough.

Professor Treado is a great professor with real world experience in economics and knows what she is talking about. She is very passionate about the subject material (to some students dismay) and know how these economic policies are applied. Show up to class. Highly recommend for Econ majors. Also I hope to make the opening day presentation.

Dr. Treado is easily one of the best professors I have had at Pitt. She knows the content and often inserts current events and research to make the class more engaging. Shes super accessible and seems to thoroughly enjoy answering questions and helping students in and outside of class. ��

Dr. Treado is a gem. Inspirational, helpful, and amazing all around. Recommend 100%

Take this course if you want to learn. Do not take it if you want an easy A.

I really enjoyed taking Prof. Treado's class. I went to every single one of her office hours, and she was always willing to help. The class is not easy, at least for a non-econ major like me, but I ended up doing okay. I would definitely recommend taking this class, especially if you are a P and P major.

Dr. Treado genuinely care about her students & their progress. As long as you do the homework, take notes in class, and study/practice the homework problems from that section, you will do fine on the exams.

Dr. Treado is literally the sweetest professor. She went above and beyond to adapt to teaching an online class and is super flexible about scheduling office hours with her. There is an online textbook, but watch the mini lectures and do the homework and you'll be good. She truly cares about her students and is passionate about econ.

Treado is definitely one of the best microeconomics professors at Pittsburgh from what I've heard compared to the others. I personally didn't learn anything from the lectures (optional), but the assigned readings were incredibly helpful. Grade-wise the exams are hard, but the other grades will balance it. The recitation activities are hard though.

A solid choice. Knows how to teach and explains things clearly. Lectures aren't content-heavy enough and so, in my opinion, aren't as useful as they could be. No need to use the textbook at all. In all honesty, you should be passing Intro to Micro easily regardless of the professor as long as you put in the work (it's a high school level class...).

I loved Prof. Treado and her class. She knows her stuff inside and out, and is very patient and personal for a professor who teaches hundreds of students every semester. Her course covers a lot of material, but as long as you thoroughly read the textbook and do the homework its an easy A and an enjoyable class.

Most of the learning is done outside of class, lectures are largely used for examples. Recitation really saved me interest-wise, but you'd still have a pretty easy A without that. Reading the textbook helps but isn't completely necessary. The mid-term/final weren't bad at all.

Very nice and clear when explaining information. Makes information easy to understand. Relates material to real life situations. Really sweet lady. Great choice for Intro to Microeconomics! only bad thing I have to say was that the exams are kinda hard but that's normal

Professor Treado is a great choice for Intro to Micro! I can say I learned a lot about economics, so if you want a good foundation, take her. Reading the textbook helps for the weekly Achieve quizzes but definitely doable without it if you pay attention in class. Only 2 exams, but fairly easy and all multiple choice.

I'm genuinely shocked by how low Professor Treado is generally rated, and I'm not even an econ major. Her class can be a bit time-demanding for what some may take as a general education requirement, but I would be lying if I didn't say that she is just an extremely genuine and bright person, making lectures and the material enjoyable and clear.

Great professor for microecon! It's flipped classroom, but you only need to watch short videos. Still, you are able to learn the material through her practice problems in class through TopHat. There are 2 main exams, but they are not bad at all. some questions/graphs from the midterm were from TopHat practice. She curves so the class avg is a C.

Dr. Treado is a good teacher. The class material is pretty difficult and there's only 2 exams which make up your grade. You have to attend lectures and take really good notes on the textbook, and go to all the recitations to do well. Definitely not an easy gen-ed or a low effort class, but totally possible to do well with some effort.

Easy class, Good Professor. Uses a flipped classroom, so you have to watch the mini lectures before going into class. Lectures are pretty entertaining and she's good at what she does. I never once touched the textbook and still got an A. The material is easy to understand with a few hard topics but it's basically a HS level course.

Weekly activity, quiz, and recitation worksheet make up 50% of the final grade, usually with multiple attempts. Read the textbook to do well on these. Flipped schedule means most learning is done outside of class, but Treado was nice and accessible- very helpful in office hours. Exams based more on lectures. You'll do well if you do the work!

She runs a flipped-classroom, so if you don't like that I'd recommend taking another professor. She is a very nice person and is knowledgeable with the concepts. I thought she was a pretty good professor. The way she weights the class is 4 exams make up 50% of the grade, online weekly hw is 40%, recitation is 10%. She's fair and I recommend.

Uses current events to relate to topics that can seem confusing. I have taken her twice and probably will take her again. She also is very caring and a great prof for intro to micro if you are a freshman.

Professor Treado was great. She never failed to have a positive attitude in class and her excitement about economics made the class much more engaging. Her exams were hard since they are only 10 questions, but as long as you try on the homework and quizzes the tests are very manageable. Did not expect to like economics, but she made it enjoyable.

Dr. Treado is a caring professor who is a great choice for Into to Micro. Holds regular office hours and is happy to help anyone. Has 4 quizzes, with the lowest grade dropped (they are 10 questions each, which I personally do not like). If you put in the work, you can get a good grade fairly easily, but this class isn't an easy A. Good lecturer

I loved professor Treado! She is one of the best Econ professors at Pitt. She outlines at the beginning of the year what you need to do to get an A, and if you time manage and attend lectures, it shouldn't be too difficult. There is weekly homework and quizzes, but they are low-stress. Her lectures are interesting, and you can tell she cares.

I really liked Professor Treado. The quizzes are open notes and there is weekly homework which isn't too bad. Lecture isn't mandatory but I'd recommend going because the examples we did in class were very beneficial. She recommends watching the mini lectures, I never watched a single one and if you are going to lecture you really don't need them.

Professor Treado really likes economics and her passionate attitude is really nice to have. She gets excited and it definitely creates a positive environment. Her quizzes aren't too hard if you pay attention and they're all open note. Her final exam was way easier than all of her quizzes.

Dr. Treado is energetic and caring. Her class is fast paced but if you stay on track it should be an easy class. The grade system is fair and she is very approachable in office hours. I recommend if you're a normal/fast learner.

I LOVED HER. Such a good teacher. Super helpful. Exams were 10 multiple choice that were easy, dropped the lowest one. Final was all easy multiple choice Notes are done before clas, practice problems to be completed during class. Easy to learn at own pace. 10/10 recommend her shes the sweetest. Office hours are helpful.Easy to contact

Prof. Treado always had a great attitude during lectures and was very helpful to any student who needed assistance. As long as you do the weekly problem sets and pay attention during lectures, you will easily pass this class with a B. There are many online resources to access if you need help and Prof. Treado is very willing to help you too.

Very enthusiastic, and readily available for help. The class as a whole is graded mostly on problem sets (which are free A's), four quizzes w/ ten questions each (with the lowest score of them being dropped), and an easy final exam. Would take again.

Very good and passionate professor! Would definitely recommend for microeconomics. As long as you do the problem sets which are very easy, you will be fine on quizzes. Attend recitation and actually do attend lectures because it is fun and you can see how passionate Professor Treado is.

She was definitely a good choice for ECON0100. There were a good amount of points, but the quizzes should have been more. Even though her lectures were pretty scattered, her quizzes were similar to what she covered. Her attitude was always so positive, which was nice. She teaches in a flipped classroom style, so there are minilectures every week.

Definitely take treado if you can. She does a flipped classroom so most of the material is learned outside the class with very helpful and easily understandable videos and readings. She does alot of practice problems in class and there are a bunch to do on your own. One 30 question hw a week thats time consuming but the quizzes and finalare all MCQ

Great professor and interesting lectures. The only reason why I thought it was "tough grading" was because the multiple-choice quizzes were out of 10. The final was just like the quizzes and she prepares you very well for it. Great over all understanding of Micro.

I thought Professor Treado was a fine teacher. Yes the tests were only 10 points which I thought was a little odd, but they really werent that hard. I feel like people are freaking out too much about that. She explained everything very well and the lectures were not bad at all. If you pay attention youll be fine

Took her for ECON international capstone: Economics of Human Rights. The class was so enlightening, and she was great at stimulating discussion. Semester long project that she requires weekly submissions (not for a grade). There are weekly papers due, but they aren't that long. She is really big on grammar! Definitely recommend for capstone.

Carey is amazing. She put so much effort into this class, with each week covering a different human rights concern. You'll also be working on a semester-long research project, deep diving into a company and its policies. She's approachable and really kind.

Homework was tedious and long, just don't wait until the last minute. 4 multiple choice 10 questions exams. Final exam was also multiple choice and very easy. Go to class, go to recitation, and do your homework and you'll be fine

Treado is a great professor! She's very enthusiastic and cares about the class understanding the material. Quizzes are open note + open book except for the final. I would definitely recommend her, she's also a very sweet lady and knows her stuff. Only issue with the class was the recitation TA being incompetent but Treado's class is great.

absolutely the best. everything you can want from a prof: a great teacher, accessible outside of class, clear grading, hw that makes lectures make more sense, and fair tests. she is amazing. i enjoyed this class without even being an econ major.

Treado is a very nice lady, and she keeps her class/canvas page very organized. She posts instructions each week on what she specifically wants you to watch/read. As long as you pay attention and write stuff down, the homework and quizzes will be easy. She made the final optional because of its late time slot. Recitation is mandatory (2 free skips)

Prof. Treado was a really great lecturer. Attendance was optional but her lectures were intriguing and great at covering all of the necessary material. My only complaint was that a large portion of your grade is determined by only 5 quizzes that were 10 questions each. You can drop one quiz grades, but each missed question can have a big impact.

super easy. You're given videos and quick readings to prepare for class where she reviews the material and gives practice problems. The quizzes are all open notes and one gets dropped. There are practice problems that are due every week but they're again super easy and open note with 2 chances. the final was also optional for those who needed it.

The only major grades are 5 open-note quizzes and the closed-note final (with mostly quiz questions). Homework is minimal with about 30 problem set questions a week. Slides and flipped lectures posted, which makes attendance completely optional. Recitation attendance is required, but it's only a participation grade. Easy class.

Class is pretty straight forward. You have some online homework that is graded on accuracy every week, and 5 quizzes. If you do not do good on the quizzes your grade will suffer. You do get a note sheet for each quiz but not for the final.

Lectures are very helpful and Prof Treado is a great professor. Only downside is that there were 5 ten multiple choice question quizzes that counted for 30% of your grade. However they were all open notes and were only on ~3 weeks worth of content each. Homework ranges from 20-30 questions a week also worth 30%. Learned a lot from her class.

i really enjoyed this class. you didn't need to show up to lecture bc she posts mini lectures online for each lesson. there is a homework set due each week which are not very difficult sometimes time consuming though. there are 5 10 problem multiple choice quizzes throughout the semester that are somewhat difficult but are open note

Fantastic teacher. Good at explaining things and always stays back after class to make sure no one has any unanswered questions. Her lectures are engaging and very helpful and the homework is a good supplement too. Just be careful of quizzes because they sneak up on you if you aren't paying attention. All quizzes are open note, which was also nice.

Her lectures are engaging and easy to understand, and well-supplemented by the textbook. I found it very easy to get an A by attending class, reading the textbook ahead of lectures, and using the homework as practice for quizzes.

Great professor, and probably one of my top 3 at Pitt. Her communication, structuring of the course, and overall teaching style is amazing. She's definitely one of the kindest professors I have and she genuinely cares for your success if you put your best foot forward. It is *a lot* of reading, but I'd definitely recommend her for capstone.

Intelligent, friendly, and caring. Expect an unbelievable amount of reading, but also to learn how to talk about important topics coherently. I feel like I've gained so much insight about how the world works from her class, mostly because the class discussions aren't afraid to explore big ideas.

GREAT teacher. Group Project policy, however, is a huge negative. Makes it very difficult to get a good grade in the class. Also, no extra credit.

So sweet and very caring about what she teaches! Lecture attendance was not required but I went as I love her demeanor. Graded mostly by the final and 6 quizzes. I didn't like the recitation format; there was no need to review worksheet answers in class. I would rather have been given the time to work then and looked for posted answers later.

I did enjoy her class, however there were some things that were a bit difficult. She teaches the concepts well, but doesn't teach much to the homework, which matters since with the 5 quizzes and recitation activities, are the only grades in the class. I did understand the concepts, but wish it wouldn't have been as stressful to do good on homework

I enjoyed Dr. Treado's class a lot. It was very easy as long as you keep up with what she provides. She is very clear on what is expected of her students and gives a lot of resources to help. The only scary thing is that 50% of your grade is based on 5 ten question quizzes, making them high stakes. Overall I really enjoyed and learned a lot.

Extremely well-structured class and seasoned professor. Lectures were well paced and engaging, with no-credit questions. Treado is kind and so happy to teach. Problem set (only weekly homework) was easy, and recitation helped cement my understanding. Definitely would take again; attending all the lectures and recitations will help.

I liked her. I feel as if I could have done more to get a higher grade. One thing I really disliked was how 50% of our grades were based off of 10 question/point quizzes. You know the ones where you get 2 wrong and get an 80. Yeah so I feel as if that should be fixed, but overall if you put the work in, you will be ok. Last quiz was hell.

Dr. Treado is a great professor. She gives engaging lectures and the homework every week is fairly easy. The class has 5 ten question quizzes which make up most of your grade, but you are allowed to have a cheat sheet which makes it easier. If you're taking intro micro, Dr. Treado is the best choice!

Prof. Treado's lectures are engaging and helpful, with the textbook adding great supplementation. Quizzes can be tricky, but doing the weekly homework and using tools like unstuck study for study prep really helps. Overall, a manageable class if you stay on top of things.

Prof. Treado is a very great lecturer and is able to make abstract concepts very relatable. I found that I learned A TON from this class without it being overly difficult. Expect problem sets and quizzes, but nothing crazy.

Never went to class and got an A. 5 quizzes with a cheat sheet for each. Worst quiz dropped. No midterm/final. Weekly homework, sometimes difficult but manageable. Go to recitation- there is group work but very helpful.

Easy class, never been to the lectures and only studied before quizes. Class is managable and concepts are relatively easy. Recitation attendance is mendatory.

She's a good lecturer but my main issue was how quickly you lose credit for wrong answers on HW questions. Your HW grade can be the difference between an A and B+. The trick is to find 2-3 people to do them with and you'll get 98-99% every time. Quizzes are fine as long as you copy down her notes in the lectures and maximize your cheat sheet.

Very clear and informational lectures. The pre-lecture videos and textbook really help understand the topics due to it being a 200 person lecture. No exams, just 5 ten question quizzes and you get to drop one. For recitation all you have to do is show up and you get 10/10. Overall a god class and I would recommend taking this for a Gen Ed.

I thought Professor Treado was very good. She gave a decent amount of homework, but it never became overwhelming. She gave 5 quizzes, allowing you to drop 1. The tests were manageable, and you get a whole sheet of notes. Overall, not the easiest teacher ever, but I definitely learned and retained a lot of information from her and would recommend.

Pretty easy class to get at least a B in. She doesn't give extra credit but that should not matter as long as you are keeping up with homework and doing alright on tests.

I did most of my learning through reading textbook but if you go to Dr. Treado she'll be very helpful and connect with you. I loved this class but you have to understand things conceptually and devote time out of class to studying. I love Dr. Treado take her and go to office hours!

50% of final grade is based off of 10 question MC quizzes. So very easy to do goof on, but also very easy to do bad on if you do not understand the material. She is a very good lecturer, and although there is quite a bit of homework, it really does help you understand the material. Allowed 1 full page of notes for the quizzes. Very down to earth.

Great professor, very helpful and supportive! Only graded on quizzes, homework and recitation attendance

Very easy class if you keep up with the work. 5 quizzes and lowest gets dropped. If you know what you're doing on the problem sets you're set for the quizzes. Show up to recitation and you get full credit, 2 skips allowed.

Lectures weren't the most helpful but I still found some value. Even though lectures can be unclear she gives so many other resources it doesn't really matter. Grade is 50% based on 5 12 Q MC quizzes with 1 drop and honestly they're easy if you spend just an hour looking at the resources she has. Easy-ish A with no background in econ, I'd take her

I took her class last semester, and I genuinely enjoy learning in her class. I will say that half of your grade is based on 5 quizzes (one drop). The other half is HW and recitation attendance. However, the class is not hard as long as you put the effort in to understand the concepts. I recommend going to her office hours! She is the best!!

ask her for extra credit she will give it to, kidding no she wont. We love our queen but her lectures are boring as hell. but its okay bc she gives info, react on tophat for extra credit

The people complain are those who skipped the lecture and didn't do the hw. This is quite literally the easiest class ever. There is no tests only 5 quizzes and the rest of your grade is based on attending recitation and doing the easy hw. You get a cheat sheet for all 5 quizzes and the lowest score is dropped. Just go to class and learn the basics

This class was easy because I showed up to the lectures and the professor was clear and understandable on the topics. Just pay attention and study the achieve homework questions for the quizzes.

She is good, not sure why there are so many mixed reviews. drops one exam, 10 questions on each exam, not much hard work. She doesn't really curve exams or final grades :(

The lectures were very similar to what was in the textbook and the assigned videos. It sometimes took a while, but as long as you follow the weekly instructions, the lectures are pretty straightforward. The quizzes weren't too bad as long as you did practice problems, and she lets you have a cheat sheet.

Very clear and understandable lectures. Many people think she goes fast, but studying on your own makes it easy to catch up and understand. The first quiz throws many people off. They are not unreasonably difficult but just be ready for that. Overall, I thought she was a great professor that made lectures straightforward.

Professor Treado was great! Had her for Intro to Microeconomics. She's a great teacher and the class is super easy. Just do the homework and you'll pass with flying colors.

Only downsides are dull lectures, and grading is done based on hundredths, not tenths place. I would've gotten an A- otherwise. Just try to take light notes during lecture, for definitions and study for the quizzes (12 questions). GO TO RECITATION. If you miss, email the TA in time and you can make it up! Chill professor and class.

Decent professor, I wouldn't say lectures were really engaging, though there were a few. Basic slide reading + tophat Qs. Best 4/5 quizzes are only 12 MC each, which is waaay to few to be worth 50% total. Class avg was normally like 70%, so it was hard to get back up. Easy online hw. Incredible recitations, I would've rather just had only those.
