Super interesting, kept my attention every day of class. Homework is self explanatory and she drops the lowest two. Just take decent notes and you'll be golden. She makes things incredibly understandable, and if you put in a little extra effort, it's an easy A. If only she taught Macro! 10/10 for sure

She is extremely nice, but I would not recommend taking her class. Her exams (2 midterms, 1 final) were a lot more difficult than they needed to be and she isn't helpful with exam preparation. She does drop the two lowest grades for both pop quizzes (participation points) and homework. I honestly regret taking her for this class.

Great Professor! I had never taken econ in high school and she explains everything in a way you can understand. If you pay attention and ask questions she'll answer and explain anything you don't understand. Her notes are very helpful but the exams are pretty hard. 2 midterms and a final, gives you participation quizzes and homework.

I struggled to even get a B in AP Macro/Micro in high school and Carrie Lee, without a doubt, made me feel like an expert in this class. She is so personable and funny that you don't realize how much material you learn from her lectures. If I could recommend a single professor for Micro it would be her!

Prof Lee did a great job at explaining the material for this course and had clear requirements to pass. Attendance gives you a good percentage of your grade, and as long as you can read and fully understand her powerpoints about each chapter you'll do just fine. Study what you don't understand, ask questions, and go to her office hours for help.
