Excellent instructor.

she gives alot of tough hw assign. Be prepared to spend more hours than expected on this course.

Pros: Passionate about econ, likes practical application, nice, well dressed, accomidating, eager 2 help. Cons: always rushed during office hrs, often late grading papers, sometimes unorganized. Tests based on lectures.

I thought she was a good teacher and was pretty clear to understand. Was pretty nice and seemed to care about her students. Also her grading wasn't bad. I found her tests pretty far and as long as you did some studing and some work you can get a good A

Don't listen to what most of these ratings may say. Kaba is REALLY nice and helpful as long as you also do your part in at least trying to learn the material. Its econ so of course its going to be a little hard but its only really hard if you slack off

She is the best -- and has the qualifications to back it up. She has been an economist with the United Nations! I mean c'mon, how better could you have it for an economics professor?! I like her a lot. Besides the fact that she jumps from topic to topic sometimes, she is an excellent prof.

Ms. Kaba is super nice and super great. If you love economics, you will love this class with her.

this is a great teacher she teaches from experience if u want to learn take this class make sure u dont miss any classes and make sure to turn in ur assignments. BOTTOM LINE: there is only 2 tests and a Final. i got a B in 102 and an A in 101 no easy but challenging

She is a very nice person and its is fun in her class but her tests require a lot of critcal thinking. You need a tape recorder if you want to pass because there is so much information. Just take someone else if you can

one of best econ profs at gcc. dont know what other raters are talking about, but she's very helpful and knowledgable. if you want an A, take good notes and turn in hw, she grades mostly on effort, not correctness so as long as you try, she'll give you the better grade. midterms are mainly based on lecture notes, study notes and you get an A.

Kaba is a very nice women who is passionate about economics, as mentioned earlier if your interest and/or major is econ, take her because she has quite the crudentials. If you want to do well, obvioulsy reading and keeping up is a must(for any tough class). Lets just say im praying for a D. Keep searching if you want the easier professors.

She is an objetive teacher. She does her best. Her strategy works. Yes, there are lots of work to do. I think this is why the prevous student compains. But if you really want to study, she is the one who will make you learn econ.

Mrs. Kaba is a very passionate professor and she is willing to take any second of time to teach you. If you wish to get a good grade, it's recommanded you to do a lot work, that includes finish all your assignment on time and do all the reading she assigns, also if you are not sure, you should see her after the class. Believe, she is great!

good teacher i recommend to take her. learned a lot in the class, probably take her for 101 too.

If you are majoring in something economics related like me (bus-econ / econ), then I recommend that you take her because you will actually learn and understand the subject in depth -- especially while reiterating yourself in all of her essay exams. If you just need econ for generals, then don't take her. I got a B in 102 and an A in 101. Good luc

You will need to work hard in this class to get an A, but you will also learn a lot. Very good teacher. If you are a business major you need to take her, if you're looking for an easy A this is the wrong teacher for you. She was very clear, knows the material well, and really wants everyone to do well in her class. Gives extra credit as well.

She's willing to help you, knows the subject and is a very nice person. She likes the word "nice". The class is hard only because Econ is hard but she grades easy on the essays. The key is that you have to do well on the MC meaning you better read all the notes, come to class and read the book. Once you get the points on the MC, just write a lot.

Helpful teacher with fast-paced lectures. Make sure to study and read the book. Tests are long. Overall nice teacher. If you need help, just go to her office visting hours. I got a B last semester.

She's a nice person but gives so many homeworks and handouts. Recommended for those who really want to study regardless of grades. I took her class in summer and i felt like it was fall because i had to do so many things and time didn't fly fast.

If you are looking for an easy A, keep looking. This class requires a lot of work but if you willing to do the work you will learn alot and have a strong grasp of Econ. Her lectures a very fast paced and she gives a ton of hand outs (not always readable). Her grading is based on effort. She is very passoinate about Econ and is always there to help.

GREAT TEACHER. I'm not even into econ but she's like a highschool teacher,, what she teaches in class is whats on the test. Very simple. Teaches clearly, gives a lot of points on tests even though u are just b-sing ur answer. Very nice, understanding lady. Easy to get a good grade. HOMEWORK is easy, like middle school stuff.

I don't understand what all the sad faces are about. I took Maier who thinks that GCC is a graduate school. Kaba is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Sure you have to study, if not don't go to college. I got an A in her class. She taught and I studied what she taught. Simple as that! College is boring? Welcome to the real world!

professor kaba is a nice lady, just attend class all the time and do all the homeworks and try your best and you will be fine. Her lectures are really important due to her tests, so is pretty clear if you want to pass the class you have to attend each lecture becasue there all important. Overall she is really nice and helps you out!

I really would like to thank her for her extreme effort to teach econimcs, she is the best economic instructor that i had , she is so passionate about the subject and she is helpfull,but everything depends on the student , syudy and ull pass with a nice grade

I don't know why everyone is complaining about Professor Kaba. I'm currently taking her 102 class and she is extremely helpful and kind. I didn't understand at first but after I took some tutoring, things are looking much on the up and up now. She offers to help during office hours. I like her because she knows a lot and you can learn from her.

Ms. Kaba is great. Don't listen to whiny reviews. If you are actually interested in learning, and are willing to make some effort - not only will you get a good grade, you will actually learn something. She really cares and is very willing to help students. Definitely recommended!

Mrs. Kaba is an amazing teacher. those students who complain are doing so either because they do not attend class or they dont study and do the work so DON'T BLAME THE TEACHER PLEASE. This is not an easy class but she does an amazing job and she puts in alot of effort. She always welcomes students who need help. study and you will be fine.

The concepts aren't introduced well but if you're a good b.s.er you'll do okay on the tests. If you don't already have a solid background on basic economic concepts this class will definitely be challenging. Her lectures aren't clear and she gets upset easily-- especially if you are late/don't show up often/ask her to repeat something.

Professor Kaba is an excellent professor. She is both knowledgeable and energetic. You won't easily find another teacher as passionate about the subject as her. She is extremely helpful, but make no mistake. This is a challenging course. It is HEAVILY lecture based so you must be present every day (or have a note buddy) and you MUST take good notes

The class was pretty difficult. Mostly, it was because she went way off topic and taught things not in the book, which we would later get tested on. You HAVE to pay attention in class and take good notes. You also have to pay attention to what your answering on a test and what exactly you're studying for. She's approachable, so that kinda helps.

OMG!!! Worst teacher EVER! Packets of homework every week, tests are soooo hard. If you don't answer the way she would it's wrong. Horrible, she makes the whole class too hard for no reason. Stay Away!!! Waste of time!!!

Mrs Kaba is very nice person and her lectures are very interesting. I had a lot of fun in the class and really began to like economy. Remember if you do the homework well you will pass without problems

Ms. Kaba was awesome. For all those saying the class was hard or anything like that, they were just lazy. She is very fair, and I recommend her to anyone. She gives you study guides so if you prepare, it is hard to get anything lower than a B.

What I dont like about Mrs. Kaba is that she is a firm believer in Keynesian economics and the federal reserve, both of which are literally on their deathbeds, and she wont acknowledge the fed as the criminals that they are. She blames consumer confidence for the depression, but fails to mention it was at the fault of the fed that this happened.

She is very knowledge of the subject matter. Expects alot from students. One of the hardest class I have taken. It make more work than my 5 unit science class. Be warned! test are 2 days (day 1 mult choice and day 2 essays). I did fairly well but takes way too much work. Expect to work hard.

She sure expected a lot from her students as her hw was like mountain high but accounted for not a lot of points compared to the tests. However, just read her notes, do some critical thinking and you should be fine. I nearly never went to class after my first test and I got an A just by reading her notes and some from the book.

One of the best teachers ever. Although she is kind of hard you leave her class knowing everything about econ. after taking her class all other econ class or class related will be a walk in the park. She is a nice funny and cute lady.

some chapters are easier to understand than others, she is extremely helpful and takes her time (even off office hours) to help you out.

Yes, Ms. Kaba is hard. But you get what you put in. If you don't work hard or put in the effort, you will fail. But if you focus and truly do the work you can definitely get an A, I did.

Mrs. Kaba is a very knowledgeable professor. Her class is very difficult, challenging but very informative. Homework assigned is like term papers, but worth 10-20 hw or participation points. I think she does this to prepare you for tests. If you are serious about school you should take her. She teaches you what you need to know. How to think!

She is well dedicated and have the ability to teach her students about economics. I recommend that you take good notes and listen well in all her lectures. You will do well this way in her exams. Ill admit that the class was hard at times do to the amount of homework that she gives. It was mountain high, but it has helped me tremendously.Take her!!

very hard

She is the best professor at GCC. She is so passionate about econ, you will become passionate about it, too. Yes, there is lots of homework, but it helps you get ready for the test. A really great professor is not the one who gives you an easy A without an effort, it's the one who makes you love the subject. Thank you, Ms. Kaba, for your effort.

Is she hard yes she is but if you are a business or economics major i recommend her. Take advantage of her office hours they are vital. As long as you talk to her about economics and she could that you are making effort to learn it you will not have a problem; she is that type that grades on effort. I strongly recommend her.

Ms. Kaba loves economics and teaches with great enthusiasm. She's a great teacher because she gives partial credit if you attempt to answer all questions and your reasoning is right. Must attend class because all quizzes/test/homework is based off class discussion. Gave lots of homework but I still liked her.. maybe because of her sweet personality

There are so many whiners on this website! Yes, this is a difficult class. But this is COLLEGE, people. You're not supposed to be able to slack off all semester and still do well. She's a good professor. Her lectures were clear. There was a lot of homework, but it was helpful for the exams. She's also perfectly willing to help students who ASK.

Kaba is nice. Don't listen to reviewers saying she is bad. All you need to do is pay attention and it really is as simple as the abc's, The homework isn't all that much either. I think people just don't like econ much, and it's not Kaba that's the problem.

I think her accent is cute, and i like her green eyes, she knows economics very well, and microecon gave me a good understanding of business in general, she is very insightful i thought. If you listen carefully and focus on the main points and theory, you should pass, although most of the class dropped by the end of the semester.

Needs to fix her points system. She doesn?t give you many opportunities to bring your grade up, so several points could make a huge difference in your class grade. Way too many questions on the midterms, considering the time we have to finish, and her lectures aren?t organized. The midterms will most likely screw you over.

Her clarity falls short of the average. You will have to work very hard in this class just for a B (this class is a GPA killer). She makes you pay 35$ to take 5 online quizes (probably her way of boosting GDP). You really need to go to her office hours and show her you are making a valiant effort. Use her study guides/packets for best results!!!

She's a very sweet woman if you don't upset her. She is rather helpful. Don't mess around in her class. Lectures are very important!! Reading is required. Tests are a bit challenging but not impossible. She expects a lot from her students. She has the potential to be boring but she does try to be funny and make the class exciting.

She is an extremely knowledgable teacher, but it is a very difficult class if you do not grasp the simple features of economics early. She is a tough grader, but tries to give group assignments that enable the "A" students to help those with lower grades better understand the subjuct. Overall an excellent teacher, but extremely difficult.

She is very kind and helpful. She is not hard but the subject itself is quite difficult. She does everything she can to help you understand and she always is into what she is teaching. You must read the book and come to class everyday. If you see her credentials your would ask why she is teaching here. She knows her stuff try to learn as much from

I had her for both 102 & 101. Yes, her handwriting is not clear, her lectures are everywhere (inconsistent), and etc. However, she always wants what's best for you. Visit her office hours and ask questions, she will definitely help you. I was really upset when I got a B in 102, but tried my best to get a better grade; I got an A in 101.

She is a very nice lady. Make sure you read before coming to class, because if you do not, you will be lost. her handouts and lectures are based on terms and concepts in the textbook, even though she never teaches directly out of it. And make sure you do all assigned work because the points are minimal. She loves when you come to her office h

she is an amazing woman she definitely loves and enjoys teaching the subject. i thoroughly enjoyed her class but she was an extremely hard grader but i believe she partially grades on how she like you so get on her good side and visit her office hours.

Professor Kaba is a great teacher. The people who say they hate her in her class are the ones who don't really have an interest in learning. If you like econ, she's a good teacher. If you don't, don't take econ in the first place because economics is going to be a hard class regardless. This is a hard class, but she helps in every way possible.

From the beginning, you can get the impression that she is not dedicated to her class, but after a while you will notice that she does everything for her student and really want you to succeed. You can ask her anything and she will try to help you understand. She cares a lot about her students, but you need to show interest and learn the material.

Dont be like me where u take any professor because u r confidence u can pass any class with an A. the teacher does matter. if u have a opportunity take another teacher do it. Not because she the absolute worst but you can learn the subject better with another teacher and not have to work your butt off for a class that not your major.

Greatest professor I've taken in college so far. Cares SO much about her students. NOT an easy class. Don't expect to get by with minimal work. NEVER miss class because every lecture is important. 2 midterms, 1 final, a few take home quizzes, EC. If you don't get an A, you can only blame yourself for not trying hard enough.

I have yet to meet a professor who cares and puts as much work into their lectures as professor Kaba. Needless to say her classes are not easy. If you're expecting to go to class and just listen to do well, this is not the class for you. However,if you are willing to put in the work,you will learn more in her classes than with any other professor.

Really enjoyed her class. She tries her best to make the topic interesting and the lectures fun. If you just pay attention to her lectures and review before the tests you can get the grade you want in the class.

Tests will take up the whole class time. If you need help, visit her office hours. She is an amazing teacher who is fair and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class. Might get extra credit!

Kaba is an intelligent professor, but not the best professor. Her class is fair though as long as you do the work she assigns you. Her tests are thorough, she wants you to explain everything, and for good reason. It's easy to get lost, so I suggest you go to the Learning Center if you need help.

If you skip lecture, you will absolutely not pass. Professor Kaba is strict, but fair. She wants you to understand what happens in the short term. She acknowledges that there are many many correct answers, but that won't work in the classroom environment, so she focuses on what happens first. If you need help, go to the GCC tutor center

Kaba is a really nice professor & will help you if you don't understand something but she goes way too fast in her lectures. Her lectures are heavy, so much info! Her handwriting is messy, it is hard to understand. You need to pay attention & NOT MISS or you wont pass. Tests are extremely hard and long. If you do not need this class DO NOT TAKE IT.

Hello there, I am currently in Mrs. Kaba's Economics 102 class; I can honestly say that she is one of the kindest professor I have ever had, nay, kindest teacher. She also explains the material very well, but this doesn't mean you should only rely on her lectures. Take notes, and read the chapters as well. You're in college, don't be lazy.

seriously really nice, but seriously hard. she explains the material well and you have to actually work hard to get an A, but what do you expect. she grades fair and all of her quizzes are take home, giving you about a week to complete them. she's a nice person and really respect her a lot for her work.

she's really one of the most knowledgeable econ professors here at gcc, love her so much. yes she's a little tougher, but its not like its unbearable. ppl who write the negative reviews need to realize they're in college. also if you take her, i recommend going to her office hours, really helps you learn more and makes her like u a lot.

She is the best teacher. We had just three exams. Every tests are Scantron.

Professor Kaba is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. She cares about the students, and is readily available to talk outside class. She gave me a private lecture once when I missed a day of class! That said, she can be hard to understand, and lacks clarity sometimes. And her handwriting is awful. You need to work hard and ask questions.

I go to UCSD now, but I enjoyed professor Kaba's class immensely at GCC. If you go to class and you do the homework, you'll pass with an A. I don't really have any major gripes about her except for ONE thing: the way she teaches economics does not prepare you for what economics is in a four year university. Econ is math, and she teaches no math.

one of my favorite professors. The people who complain about her don't try enough and don't realize they need to put in the effort to get an A. she's a great teacher that understands the material well and teaches it effectively. i admit, her writing and accent could be tough but you can ask her to repeat it or go to her office hrs to ask her

Professor Kaba is a great person. Took time out of her schedule to help me the day before an exam.

Professor Kaba is the best professor that I have ever had. I took both Econ 101 and 102 with her and I passed with A in both courses. She is extremely caring professor. The only thing that you need to do is to participate during the lectures and be careful. The course is very challenging, so you need to put a lot of efforts.
