absolute joke... never went to class and she gives a ton of extra credit

Easy A, attendance was not mandatory or necessary if you just teach yourself out of the book. Tests were pretty easy, multiple choice, you just have to know the basics.

She is so nice and not afraid to answer any questions. Tons of extra credit! Easy A. Gives practice tests and some questions reappear on the actual test. Definitely a must take!

This was a very helpful class

Cheery professor. I did not attend class after the first exam. Easy A, but you must study. All notes were posted on BlackBoard and I learned more by reading the textbook than by going to class. 2 midterms and a final--bizarre test policy though where she drops the lowest midterm. Aplia is survivable b/c she posts very close practice questions.

This is an easy class. Unless you already know micro, you need to either go to class, or read your book to do well on tests. There are no trick questions, and she is very straight forward with her questions. Class is boring, but not mandatory.

Easy, just study your text and do aplia HW's.

Dickson-Carr is fairly easy, but most students study outside of class. It works for most people (including me). If you do need help though, she's there and she's helpful. Coming to class sometimes is beneficial. Aplia (online hw) assignments are kinda annoying. Overall easiest econ teacher- take her.

Super easy just study for tests from power points

Easiest professor I have ever taken. She is decently helpful and clear. She gives a lot of extra credit and attendance is not necessary for passing (but it certainly helps). I received a much lower grade than I should have because I really slacked off but she really is very easy.

She is funny and does a great job of being straightforward on how to do the homework and what will be on the tests, however if you do get confused (which you shouldn't) she isn't the best at further explaining. Otherwise, easy class. You have 2 test and a final, and she drops one of the two test and weighs the final depending on how it affects you.

She isn't the best teacher as far as getting her students to learn a concept in depth, but if you want an easy A in a class with optional attendance, she's a good option. I mostly learned the material from her powerpoints(which she sends us). She offers a lot of extra credit, and drops the lowest test grade, so its pretty hard not to do well.

Literally so easy. I made a 100 on both tests. Online homework was a completion grade. Gave a take home final (this was probably a one time thing though). Attendance is not mandatory and she puts the powerpoints that she lectures straight from online. Easy A. Not the best if you're looking to really learn and retain the material though.

I took DC for both micro and macroeconomics and she's absolutely awesome. If you're a business student and are looking for a good grade to get into Cox, she's your professor. She posts everything you need online so you don't have to go to lecture but they're definitely very helpful. Her tests aren't bad at all either if you study. Easy A!!

Prof DC's lectures are very scattered brained and often goes on tangents while teaching, usually they are funny. Gives 2 exams and a final, she rewards improvement so your better exam counts for both exams and if your final is the highest grade it counts for about 70% of your grade. Didn't learn much, and had to teach myself but got the A easily.

Pretty easy compared to the other econ teachers. She nice but not really a great lecturer. As long as you can learn from the book you'll be good

She is great. If you have a chance take her.

Professor D-C is one of the most understanding professors Ive had thus far. Drops lowest test grade at the end of the semester which helps tremendously. Attending her lectures isnt extremely vital, but it does more good than harm. Definitely an easy A as long as you complete all your work in a timely manor. A bit scatter brained but hilarious.

I signed up for one of her classes again, she is super nice and gets to the point. Its lecture heavy but she makes them interesting. Not mandatory to attend but its helpful. She is super sweet and tries to make sure everyone understands, and always available for help over email or office hours. If you listen and get help when needed you'll pass.

Provides extra credit opportunities throughout lectures. Only two tests & a final (& you can drop one test!). Homework questions throughout semester help grade. All notes / homework are online. Textbook is provided for extra study help. She's willing to help you if you reach out. Study hard, take notes, & reach out & you will do well. Great prof!

She's a super great prof. Take her if you can. The lectures can be boring and while attendance isn't mandatory, there is an attendance quiz that will count as extra credit. It won't seem like you need the book, but get it, it makes the tests so much easier. The tests aren't hard as long as you pay attention and read the book. Seriously, take her.

log into tophat with access code for attendance and easy participation questions, hw answers were all a for 7/10 HW's. tests were relatively easy, provides practice tests for both exams and the final. drops the lower of the 2 regular test scores so your grade is really just your highest test and final, final is EASY. 75% practice test questions.

so easy, if you show up to class she does assignments step by step for you. I made a 100 on everything. take this for an easy additional credit hour. also, she's just a cool professor and i like her as a person.

I don't understand how anyone can fail this class unless they just don't care to try. She says day 1 she doesn't care if you come to class, and makes her lectures streamable from your bed. She gives great test reviews and LOTS of extra credit. DC is truly caring and passionate about what she does. Absolutely love her!

Doesn't care about attendance, drops your lowest test score, weights things differently to help you do the best you can, every test and homework question is online... Absolute legend take her if you want an A, its impossible to fail this class

Please ignore the negative reviews on here. It may change because I took her virtually, but her tests were open note and extra credit for simply GOING to class and much more. Sure, I really don't know anything about macroeconomics, but if you want a laidback class, she's the way to go!

Grades are mainly dictated by tests. She drops the lowest test grade and her curves are very generous. Lectures can be confusing but if you are able to take notes on the slides when studying for the exams you will have no problem in the class even if you don't attend in person class. She gives the option of watching the lectures on zoom as well.

She does not care if you come to class or not. She takes attendance on TopHat and the attendance code can be shared through a group chat you create. I never showed up once and got a B+. She is awesome because you get 3 credits and a free period if you want it, as long as you are ready for the tests you are fine. She also drops ur lowest test score.

DC is incredible, she is funny and a very easy grader. Pay attention to lectures and do top hat homework and you will pass. With tests, she allows you to have a full cheat sheet.

Professor Dickson-Carr is so sweet. This class has a lot of busy work and requires students to be organized. Definitely a great course to fulfill the Writing CC. Just turn in assignments on time and you will succeed.

People who criticize her lecture style are unaware that microeconomics really is that boring. Dickson-Carr gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit and lets you have a cheat sheet for every test. She is a bit difficult to reach through email but you can always ask her questions before class. The textbook is literally the lecture material.

Professor Dickson-Carr was great! She was very easy going in our class and understood the grind of college, helping us out any way she could and posting lecture slides after class. Although the material wasn't easy, she tried her very best to help out as much as possible. 10/10 would recommend for any freshman taking microeconomics.

She mainly reads off of slides, but as long as you study through her sample tests, you will do fine. She drops the lowest test grade and offers so many extra credit opportunities. If you don't understand why you got a question wrong, she usually records a video and explains to you why an answer is correct to help you out. She's so caring!

Her exams are not that hard; several questions are worded meticulously, and others are straight from the slides. She provides a notecard for the two non-final tests and a back-and-forth one for the final. To do well on the final, I would put everything on it to play it safe. Homework is light. She does take attendance on tophat every class.

Super easy and a great way to learn the basics of Excel if you don't know them already. She records the lessons so you can do them at home and don't need to go to class. Literally walks us through them so you get 100 every time. Super sweet and funny lady!

I love Prof Dickson-Carr, took her both semesters. Lecture heavy but a pretty light class compared to the other Econ professors. Only 3 tests and she drops one of them and you get a notecard for each test. Homework for easy points and takes attendance with a code on TopHat. Cares a lot for her students. Literally best prof TAKE HER!!!

I loved Professor Carol's class! She is super funny and a pretty chill professor. She likes to cancel class on Friday's. Grades: One 10-question homework assignment per chapter (easy, answers are online), and 3 exams (including the final). The exams are not too bad, and she offers extra credit too! Extra Credit: Complete attendance polls in class.

Class is ok. Homework every couple of weeks, one mandatory exam, one group project, final is optional. Lectures are basic and the slides are all available for you online. Two papers for econ (dont know why) but other than that its not too bad.

Prof DC is the absolute GOAT of SMU professors. Very unhinged (in a good way) and has an insane amount of lore you will get to hear. Class is cancelled when necessary. Some people say that you "don't learn anything" but I have learned a lot. Specifically for Macro, there is only so much that can be taught within the curriculum and she does great.

Best college class ever. She is the nicest professor who would stick up for all of her students. I do not know how she does not have a better rating you will have a guaranteed A in this class which most people in other econ classes fail. I wish I took her for macro and micro.
