Very nice woman who lightens up the subject of economics.

Very funny and concerned...

Amazing Professor! She made what could be a dull class, a great learning experience!

Very nice lady who isn't afraid to spend a good deal of the class discussing current events or joking around; sometimes she spends too much time on a tangent though. Nonetheless a very enjoyable class, and no strict attendance policy.

She is definately a good Econ teacher whom is stuck in the College of Arts & Sciences. Hopefully they get Econ moved into the College of Business.

She is a very good instructor. Teaches the subject matter well and addresses questions thoroughly. The tests can have one or two mystery questions, but for the most part, they are fair. Just take notes and study. If enough of you campaign against a par

Nice teacher but tests are kind of difficult. Also only work in class is online and easy.

If you ready and study you will do fine, make sure to ask questions in class if you want them covered. My fav teacher ever at FGCU

She was a good professor! I studied and went to SI but I did good in the class. I would reccomend her! She takes attendance, but at the beg. so you can leave or have someone sign you in.

Do your homework and study. Come to class and learn. this is a moderate class. EAsier than micro. Shes a nice lady and sometimes funny also.

Not sure what everyone is complaining about. She doesn't just randomly talk about the news. She talks about real world events and relates them to economics. This increases real understanding of the subject. Homework and coursebook are indicative of what's on the test. Very easy if you have two brain cells to rub together.

She's pretty funny and answers all questions. As long as you study and do the online work, you'll do well.

stand up comedy i love coming to class. lol. does not curve nor make study guide for u. but other than that explains material well and explains things over and over till u get it!! great teacher.

She really makes a very boring subject seem interesting. There was not one day that I was in class and did not laugh out loud, she is an absolute riot. Very helpful though too, if you come to class with questions about the material she will get them answered. The tests will be very hard if you don't read the material, and do the course book.

I spose anyone that has had a porblem with prof Sweeney has been the type of student who isn't up for some work. You can't get thru the class by not reading the book or listening, but if you do the assignments & the reading, and study you should do fine. She's a real nice teacher, wants to help, has no prob answering questions. Makes class enjoyabl

Macroeconomics is not an easy subject, however professor Sweeney is an excellent professor. She goes along with the book, you definitely have to read before coming to class to have any idea what she is talking about. She plays a lot of funny youtube videos. She is very nice and accomodating to an extent. Great class, but very hard work needed.

Good professor overall. She knows the subject very well and will go over anything you don't understand. I never read the textbook before class and never felt lost. Took minimal notes. Tests aren't too challenging. She's a real right-wing free-marketer though so keep that in mind.

Overall a great professor. For an economics course, her lectures are very entertaining. Have to pay attention, but its not difficult. My one complaint: the tests are from the book completely, but she only lectures on certain aspects of the book, so make sure you read it.

Sweeney is a very knowledgable teacher when it comes to the subject of Economics. Having said that, she does not make it easy for you to pass her tests. They are straight out of the Book and barely touches on the Test subjects. I got a B, but not without hours of my face in the book and continuous repeating of the myeconlab guides. Take Kerekes!

Sweeney is an awesome no nonsense professor. Yes, her exams can be tough, but honestly if you put in the extra effort of using the practice tests,actually reading the book and going to her when you need help. There is no reason anyone cant at least get a b. Economics isn't easy, but she is very good about helping and wants you to succeed

Professor Sweeney can seem intimidating at times but she is super friendly and cares about your grade. This course has a 50% drop rate school wide so don't blame the teacher. If the class listens to her about in class conduct you shouldn't have any issues. Great professor and helps you understand the concepts of economics.

Carol Sweeney is an inspiring, great professor despite all the horrible ratings on here. If you are a well-educated, hardworking student, you should have no problem. Her exams are not as hard as everyone says it is (I'm not a straight A student). Her lectures are hilarious and mostly about food but they are course-related.

I really liked Sweeney. Her reviews were horrible but I think she was hilarious and very helpful. She uses great examples to understand economics. Reading is important to do well on tests and random class activities. Tests can be sort of difficult but nothing crazy. I seriously recommend her, especially if you like a humorous professor.

Prof Sweeney is the best macro professor. After withdrawing from the course & having to take it the next semester, I was placed w her & not only excelled but also realized my ability when I apply myself and Have a great professor. She's intelligent, helpful and gives awesome notes & resources. If u want to be a better student I suggest u take her!!

Great professor

Lectures are great, she gives real life examples to help you understand. Funny. Test can be difficult, and they are 75% of your grade. In class assignments done in pairs usually and about one a week typically. Attendance is graded, and easy points. NO extra credit so make sure you do the work. Many people drop the class.

This is my third time taking Sweeney, and I'll do it again if I can. Having her as a professor is one of the few times I genuinely enjoy going to class. Yes- you have to read the book, attend class, & understand the material, but if you really try then she will give you all the help she can. I will admit that exams are difficult, not impossible.

Really liked her as a professor, shes pretty funny but the class was difficult. 5% of our grade was homework and the other 95% was exams. You NEED to read the book to pass.

She really cares a lot about her students. You really have to read the book in order to pass. If you dont the highest you will probably get is a C. She is tough but worth it.

Definitely read the text book. Her lectures are not designed to teach new material. I would say she struggles to follow if you work better with visual and hands on demonstrations. I found her exams to be very difficult to complete in the time given.

She was a very tough Professor who was very knowledgable on the subject. I went to her office hours and she was lovely to work with 1 on 1

After taking her class online I am not really sure why Prof. Sweeney has such a poor rate my professor grade. She is really easygoing, as long as you do the assignments in their entirety you will get a good grade in this class. You do have to read the textbook but it is a super easy read, you can hardly call it a textbook.

Shes a great teacher if you're willing to put the work in. As someone who has 3 jobs and takes 5 classes, she makes it easy to work with me when I need help. If you go to class and do the homework and show you are trying she will help you with anything you need. Amazing teacher, I'm taking her again next year!!

I love her. Would recommend taking her class. If you are willing to work, you will pass. She helps you out and opens up office hours for you. The people who don't like her class are usually lazy and don't like to actually do the work. Shes the best and shes super funny.

Prof. Sweeney is AWESOME! Legit one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. Lectures are fun and include real life examples to increase comprehension. She's got a wicked sense of humor and always cracks jokes, making the class fun and lively. ECON is a complex topic, all the students giving bad reviews are just blaming her for their own incompetence

Professor Sweeney is by far one of the best professors I've taken at FGCU. I am terrible at math and had no background in business but Sweeney was patient and truly wants to see her students succeed. She is funny, her lectures are enjoyable, and she has a reasonable course load. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! Took both Micro and Macro with her, she's the best

Survey of Econ is really easy for an economics course. The few quizzes and exams are open note at home online. Sweeney is fun and engaging in class

She was a great professor, the class was just hard for me. When I needed extra help she did an online session with me and was very helpful. Her lectures were engaging and interesting and I would definitely take a class with her again! She was also a very personable professor and gave her view on real-world economic situations currently happening.

Sweeney is one of my favorite profs at FGCU. She is funny and makes her lectures understandable and entertaining. She is helpful outside of class and I think she is your best bet at making micro econ the easiest it could be. You have to put in the work she says to do though, this isn't a slack-off class. Highly recommend!
