best teacher i ever had
pretty good teacher, but the tests were really hard. barely any homework given, only like 4 assignments throughout the course. very nice
Good professor!! she is a very nice professor and also very interesting. not easy, but recomended if u want to learn sumthing.
Very good professor!! she makes stuff easy and is very friendly too. Good way to learn economics.
Great teacher.. Just do the work and study for the test and the rest is easy.. You dont need to take notes she gives you the PowerPoints ..
Very helpful. Best prof at MCC!
Probably the best teacher you'll ever have! I took this class because it was a requirement, but she made it clear, easy to understand, and related it all to the real world. At the end of the course she gave out a survey and asked if there was anything she could do to improve her teaching. Nothing! Except teach ALL the classes at Middlesex.
This class is an easy A. Only about four homework assignments. She gives bonus quizzes which give you extra points for your tests, which are easy anyway as long as look over all the definitions. Oh yeah and she's pretty hot too.
Best professor ever. For test reviews, she does a jeopardy game.Bonus quizzes with extra bonus points on tests. She actually reads her emails and gets back to you in a timely matter. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to take bus 101. If you dont take this professor, you will be sorry
Her tests are easy and are directly from the worksheets which she gives to everyone in class.Powerpoint slides are very helpful too.She gives projects which is an easy A for sure.She also gives bonus quizes for bonus points.very helpful,fun,easy grades. her tests are multiple choice and finals are very easy.I got an A in her class. BEST PROFESSOR!!
I took this prof in spring 07, like another person wrote, she should teach all classes at MCC, easy, intresting, and an easy A. Best business prof i ever had at MCC, you won't regret it.
I am taking this professor for my winter course for Bus101, she magnificent. Attend her class dont take her for granted she is good but that dosent mean she will hand you the A+, work for it. Very dedicated to her students..besides her profession she simply Gorgeous!!
this professor is the heart of mcc. i think shes capable of teaching any class. wish i could take her for eco 202.go to class, do the homework, and try to pass those bonus quizzes they help. shes sharp so try to stay on your A game.
She is an amazing professor!! Teaches from powerpoints, and makes everything interesting.. you can tell she loves what shes doing! Makes you want to learn!! Read the book and do the review questions. GREAT PROF!!
Professor Wathen is a well-known professor who makes Economics fun and understandable. She is very nice and the way that she teaches Eco is much better that other professors. I strongly suggest you to take her class. If you study, u defenitly will finish with an A.
By far the best teacher i have ever had at middlesex. I took her for business 101, she made everything so simple & easy to understand. Gives you a lot of chances to get extra points & Her projects require a little writing but are pretty easy, i hated morning classes but didn't mind going to hers. I just wish i could have taken her for eco 202 :(
I've known Mrs.Wathen for 6 years, She was my highschool buisness teacher. she has a lot of patients, and she is always happy. Very down to earth n willing to help u w/ anything u need. If you have the chance, take her. She is the best. I've learned so much from her and I can truly say she is the best teacher i've ever had in my life. I love her.
Wathen is a really easy teacher she gives you mini quizzes that get you bonus points on the test. everything is right out of the text book just study the vocab and youll do great
Take Her... she is THE best prof in business department.. she is hilarious, and explains economics thoroughly.. best of all, she is HOTTT!!!
She is MCC's Finest. She is the best of the best. Gives bonus quiz and jeopardy and the points from that gets added to the Test. Do the review question and study the material and you should be good. She has her Masters in Education and Finance.Definitely recommended 110% P.S. I took for 3 classes.
I'll be taking her for Eco 202. Her Homework, EASY; Her Writing Assignments, EASY; Her Jeapordy and "ECONO," FUN; Her teaching style, AMAZING; and her Tests, E-to the-Z.. Take Her, you'll understand Why?
TAKE HER!!She makes the class fun and exciting.NO HOMEWORK!lots of bonus quizes for extra points on tests to encourage everyone to read chapters before coming in to class.She gives review questions before a test,then chooses from them,they are 40% of the test grade.Uses fun Jeopardy game to review for tests.She tries to make it easy and interesting
Great Professor!
Great professor. Is always willing to help if u need it, but u shouldnt because the material is very easy to understand because of the way she teaches it. Tests are easy, and there are many other ways to do well besides the tests, If ur taking ECO make sure u take her, u wont regret it.
I took her for Bus 101 and her class was an easy A. She gives many opportunities to earn points for the test while playing fun games like jeopardy or bingo. She gets everyone involvd and her classes were alot of fun. Her ratings on ratemyprof.com are too good to be true but so is she.I recommend taking her for anything that she is a professor for.
She is an AWESOME professor. Her classes are fun, interesting, informative, clear and concise. She gives you PLENTY of opportunities to get extra points, so there is NO reason anyone should get less than a B in her class ... unless you just don't care! Take her. She is the BEST!!!!
I took her BUS 101 class, ECO 201 and will take her ECO 202, She is the best professor ever!
Great prof. I'll take her for Eco 202 as well. She is just great !!
SHE IS THE BEST ECO PROFESSOR AT MCC!SHE'S CLEAR,SHE REVIEWS WELL FOR HER EXAMS,AND UNDERSTANDS THAT STUDENTS HAVE A LIFE OTHER THAN COLLEGE!VERY FAIR!JUST TAKE HER,SHE'S AMAZIN AND YOU WON'T REGRET TAKING HER!DON'T KEEP WASTING YOUR TIME AND GO REGISTER RIGHT NOW!
awesome prof gives extra credit and reviews test before given work hard do you homework and you're sure to do good
Easily one of the best professors at MCC, and she's beautiful to boot. Every male student's dream.
She is an awesome professor. Very helpful and love her bonus quizzes for extra points towards exams. She is strict about homework, time, cheating, etc. However, that is how a professor should be. The best professors I have this semester!!! If you plan on taking Business...take her class.
She one of the BEST professor you would find in MCC. Her assignment are easy to do and she gives plenty of time to finish them. She is always helpful and makes every notes easy to understand. She just wants us to think like a well matured college student.
She was a very good professor, very generous in grading students, helping her students. But you cannot review your exam test for enough time in the class to know your mistakes. Overall, if you want to have a high grade, take her class (Bus 101, Eco 201, and Eco202).
Definitely knows her subject. Very helpful. Wants us to suceed in the course.Lectures are interesting and shes very clear. Easy class if you are willing to do the work
the best Professor I have taken so far at MCC. also, probably one of my most favorite courses I have taken. her lectures kept me interested and she makes class fun. do the test study guides and study for those bonus quizzes. she has a jeopardy game for review to add more bonus points. best best. 100% recommended
Proff Wathen is a great proffesor. she really knows what she is talking about when it comes to business. She almost makes it imposible to fail her class and she is always willing to listen and help her students!!!!
best professor i have taken at MCC! almost impossible to fail her class she is very helpful and gives you every opportunity to succeed. definitely recommend taking her and i wish she taught every class! =]
Loved her, great teacher, gave extra credit, book used a lot. really good class
Where can I start from? A great and best professor are used terms not powerful enough to define her enthusiasm and motivation. She is a perfect professor and after taking her Bus 101 class. I am now taking Acc and Eco with her. Won't Regret it!
If you are looking for a teacher that can help explain to you the hard topics you're having problems with this is the right teacher! Had her for business & both sections of Eco best teach by far & always willing to help before and after class. She cares about her students & is a great person to talk to about school & personal. Very Fair!
Great overall business teacher, with any college course just attend and you shall pass with ease.
great professor! always there to help you with anything, very easy, loved her classes. she makes the classes fun. TAKE HER!!
not the best for accounting...
Hands down the BEST professor at MCC! She's super helpful, easy, and keeps the class entertaining! She's also very gorgeous! A must have professor!
I dont liek the idea paying $90 for aplia homework website,when explaining the materiel 80% of time she just read the powerpoint.otherwise,she is nice,gives extra bonus quizzes to boost your grade.
She is one of my favorite professors at MCC with a very laid back attitude. She explains the concepts in extreme detail and actually teaches you the material. I would recommend her to other students and plan on taking her again myself.
The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! highly recommended!!!!!!!!!! loveeeee herrrr.... i wish she teach 102 in spring..
She is so kind and loves her students. She is always willing to help and explain topics a student is confused about. She is far from rude! She also gives examples. She gives bonus quizzes and has good powerpoint presentations which is what makes her tests harder. Make sure you study! Mrs. Wathen you're the best business professor at MCC!
i absolutely love this professor she really knows her stuff and gives a lot of reference to real life situations and give bonus quizzes to help your grade i would take this teacher for any course she is teaching definitely recommened
The Best Accounting teacher ever!!!! She explains everything very clearly and is a very helpful professor. Easy to understand, and gives good examples.
She teach acc very well. class attendance and HW are mandatory for ACC. good and clear explanation. recommend for student who need success. you have to do HW and online problems to get an A.
The most wonderful and the sweetest teacher on earth!! She has great teaching skills!! Love her soo much!!
I was dreading taking this class but i've to say Ms. Wathen was more than knowledgeable & she was helpful - she stayed after class to help out whoever needs help. This was a summer class so it wasn't easy but if you put in the effort it will pay off. Do the cengage homework she assigns & you're good. She gives pop quiz every day as extra credits
WOW!!! A REAL COLLEGE EXPERIENCE GOTTA LOVE HER!!
sooo nice
I love this teacher so much I cant express how much I love her and how helpful she is. Everyone should take her make her your first choice dont miss out on this great teacher. I will miss her class the most going through college
Professor Wathen is an excellent professor. I had her for Business Mgt 101 and Economics 202. She is in to help you succeed and make you a better person. She gives alot of attention to the topic until you understand it clear like water. She gives bonus quizs that can help you on the exams. I must say professor wathen is amazing. Esmail Attiyah
You will love her so much based on how she teaches and how she handles students. She makes the class so much fun you will want to take her for ECO 202. Plus the best part of that class were the bonus quizzes and Jeopardy review game that prepares you for tests something that every class in this college should have.
BOOK IS A MUST. Do your homework and all assignments. She is a great teacher and I'm going to miss her when I leave. Took her for 201 & taking her for 202. She makes herself available to her students and will take the time to try to show you concepts another way to make sure her students grasp and understand. Applies scenarios to real life :)
I am currently taking her ECO 201 class. She is the most clear and precise profesor at Middlesex. I look forward to taking her ECO 202 and ACC 101 courses. One of MCC's best.
Just an amazing professor, enough said.
My favorite teacher in MCC. Took her for Accounting and will take her for Economics next. She makes sure all her students are doing well, and if you bother to visit her during office hours she will definitely help you pass the course. She gives good amount of homework. Interesting class and she does not get boring.
Took her for ECO 201 & 202. By far the best professor ive ever had. She literally gives you every possible oppurtunity to attend class. she is very neat with her material. Very sweet and caring. Her classes ALWAYS fill up the first day, so be ontop of registering for her class. I fought til the death to get in her class and it was worth it!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Gives you every opportunity to get an EASY A! To encourage class attendance she gives a bonus quiz in the beginning of every chapter, you have the oppurtunity to recieve up to 20pts in extra credit for every exam! loved her!!!
She is nice prof. her exam is easy and she give u lots of extra point...But u can not learn so much from her class.. but easy A
Take her class.
This teacher is great for acc 101 easy and gives extra opportunities. To do good in tests
She is honestly the best teacher at MCC. She explains things thoroughly and is very clear on everything. If you ever have any questions she will gladly help you. I wish she would teach ACC 102. I will take her for ECO as well.
Best teacher ever, shame she doesnt teach acc 102, but if you have to take acc 101 or eco 101, take her. seriously shes one of the best teachers ive had at mcc
Hands down the best business professor at MCC. Took her for ACC101 ECO201 ECO 202, she knows her material and will have no problem explaining things over if you are confused. Honestly, I wish all my professors were as helpful. thanks wathen!
she moved very fast
she is so hot and very useful..as long as you do aplia assignments, you will pass class,she is also organized.
One of the best teachers! Prof. Wathen is very organized & she cares about her students. There is a decent amount of work incl. weekly online assignments, but if you put in the effort, you'll do well. Bonus quizzes from the reading & jeopardy review games earn you points on your exam. I recommend her.
Ok, she is great optimistic professor. You have to come to class because that is part of your grade,4 test(lowest one dropped), have to do online work(part of grade).The only thing I did not like about her was the way she formatted her test. She would make the test answers very similar to one another,WHICH SUCKED AND DIFFIDENTLY IMPACTED MY GRADE.
smokin hot, extremely knowledgeable and a good GPA booster
I dont know what the big deal is with her. People make her out to be like she just hands you the grade. Her class=Tough. Problem is I dont know how much easier anyone else is. I'd take her just because you really dont have to many other options. Shes nice and all, you just have to have a basic understanding of how things work with economics.
Out of my two years at MCC I must say she's one of my 2 favorite professors of all time! She's a caring professor who pushes her students to do their best. She also has a sense of humor!
She's very nice and helpful, but she goes quite fast, and her tests are hard to study for but she gives out extra credits. She makes you work for it but her personality makes up for it. Drop the final if you have 97.5 average plus one index card for every exam. HW for every chapter but it helps.
She is one of the best teacher in MCC. She knows students very well, and always willing to help. Go to her office whenever you don't understand something, its the only way to help yourself understand and improve. She answers her email asap. Also do her works that assigned in class, dont be lazy. Because the homeworks she assignedquestions on quiz.
She is such a wonderful person and a professor also. Offers student with lot of extra credit points plus it clearly shows that she's committed and helpful with her students.
she is really nice professor but it is not easy class to get good grade
Don't understand what the hype is about. would rather have someone else.
She is awesome!!!! Extra Credit Every Test! There are 4 Tests worth 40% and lowest gets dropped. Tests are straight forward and common sense questions! Plus group project which is Easy and Crystal Clear. She gives you the review's just study that & you should be good to go! Highly Recommended. Easy " A" Class Take Her & You wont regret it.
She's extremely nice and respectful. But I would not recommend her for Accounting. Puts on way too much pressure on her students and moves very quickly.
she is very helpful and friendly. just pay attention in her class and come early to the class because she gives bonus quiz in the beginning of the class. as long as you do what she requires you will pass her class. (DO NOT MISS THE BONUS QUIZ. IT IS A GRADE BOOSTER)
Taking Management 210? DEFINITELY TAKE HER! Her other classes I've heard she runs quickly through, but management was a breeze! Everything is laid out for you to get an easy A. Gives extra credit so show up to class!!! Huge grade booster. Amazing prof
She is the one of best professor at MCC. I took her during the 4 week summer. If you attend the class and do the home work you will pass the class easier.
It may seem like she gives a lot of work, but really it doesn't take that long to complete all of it & you'll be really glad you did. If you show up, pay attention/take notes, and do the homework, it's not hard to pass. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities and her tests are exactly what you learn in class, no tricks.
She is a good professor for economics, really knows what she is talking about and make sure her students really understands before she moves on however , understand the fact , that you are in college so better study hard for her test and quizzes.
I had Mrs. Wathen for ACC 101 in the summer for a 4 week course. She is absolutely AMAZING!! The class is very difficult if you dont do the hw or read. She is so kind and caring! If you have questions just ask because she is always more then happy to help. Take her you wont regret it.
extra credit opportunities ,do the connects h/w (benefit you in the long run), show up & take notes, you can use note/ index cards for test, def. study for test ,no midterm just a final. 4 test (not including final) short online multiple choice quizzes, lowest test grade gets dropped (not including final) had her for an 8am class spring'17
She gives lots of extra credit opportunities and is available to help you during the class and outside of class. Not an easy A class so you have to put in the work such as doing all the homework and study hard for the tests. Very nice and positive professor.
Probably the best professor there is at MCC, took her multiple times for many different classes. Makes the class easy it can be but it can be hard as she teaches some of the toughest class in the department.
Very nice and thoroughly goes over the topics. Homework is a big part of the grade, so ace that and your grade should be fine. Tons of extra credit!!
One of the best Professors I've ever had!! She is so caring and understanding! However, this is not an easy class. You must show up to every class and study hard to grasp all of the concepts. She gives bonus quizzes for each exam and there is homework that can also boost your grade. She has office hours and she is always willing to help you! TAKE!
great professor!! class and test were easy i never read the book and got a B in her class she was awesome
Economics is a very tough subject to learn. Professor Wathen is one of a kind, she offers bonus quizzes per chapter and knows her material very well. She will not hesitate to stay after class with you and is extremely nice. The extra credit quizzes are open note, so write down your chapter quizzes in a notebook and keep track of your answers. )
She gives extra Credit. Many ways to teach and us to learn. She cares, so she will help you if you are struggling.
Professor Wathen is a very reliable option for economics. She has a really great teaching style that allows many opportunities to improve your grade. She lets you use one flash card on each exam, and has extra credit opportunities every class. As long as you show that you are willing to put in an effort, she will make sure you do well. Great class!
to much homework and assignments.
Possibly the best professor at MCC. I've taken her for two classes and I'm taking her for a third. You have to put in some effort though. If you can take her, do it.
Dr. Wathen is one of the best professors I've had. She's extremely clear about her expectations and she teaches the material well. There are no surprises on the test, the questions are very similar to the examples done in lecture. Would definitely take her again.
Dr Wathen is amazing and was very helpful. Responds to email quickly. Class itself was not hard as long as you do everything and follow the syllabus for deadlines. Final exam is in person despite class being online. Would recommend you take the class with her if you want to take ECO201
Dr. Wathen was one of my best teachers yet. Very clear in her instruction and lays out everything upfront in the syllabus. With each chapter, she literally tells you what to study and which areas to pay close attention to. As long as you pay attention and stay up with her emails and assignments you will easily pass.
Excellent teacher! She is extremely responsive to emails and queries. Her instructional videos are amazing. I highly recommend her
Pros: -Amazing teacher -- truly knows her craft -Very caring -- completely responsive + accessible in/out of class -Provides EXCELLENT extra learning videos - Practice, practice, practice! (in the form of homework) Cons: - Get ready to read - Practice, practice, practice! (in the form of homework)
She was a great professor who really cared about her student's success. She provided videos outlining the most important topics. I still struggled because it was a hard subject. The powerpoint were super helpful in helping me to understand what was on the tests. She provides a ton of materials to help you to understand. 6 tests and a final.
One of the best professor I've taken in MCC. She gives you 3 assignment per week. Drops the lowest grade and gives you enough extra credit to help your grades. It cant get any better then this!
She is amazing at what she does. I was struggling in class due to personal issues, she never judged and always try to help me out. She gives a lot of extra credit. Homework, quiz are very easy if you read and do everything you're supposed to do. She gives a lot of feedbacks and will work with you if you're struggling in her class. Taking her again!
I took her in the middle of the pandemic transitioning to online courses. The amount of times she would call the class "stupid" in different ways was insane. You cannot ask a "dumb" question or else you will be scolded and embarrassed in front of the class. Super heavy on tests, does not dedicate her time to teach, she expects you to know.
This is a tough class but she really cares about her students success. Would defintely take her again. Even with all online work with Covid you can tell she puts in a lot of effort. Wish she taught ACC102.
shes such a wonderful professor so caring and nice. she gives extra credit so that really helps boost up your grade it is a lot of hw and quizzes but its not that bad its easy to do even though we are doing remote classes shes answers email very quick and shes always willing to help
Very demanding class. Adaptive study, homework, and quiz due each week. Minimum of 8-10 hours of work must be put in each week to have a passing grade. The powerpoints have a minimum of 60 slides. Extra credit assignments are periodically available. Very sweet teacher, but a difficult class to pass with the amount of work expected to be completed.
Amazing prof. Loved every second of her class. Really helped me understand the course, 100% take her !
Great!Take her! Lots of reading, using the textbook and doing homework on Cengage. She does a cool thing where she uses kahoot and how many questions you get right, its extra credit on your exam. Ask questions!! do the discussions!! so the homework!! she is there to help you pass! I luckily (and probably because of Prof W) I passed with a C+.
easiest sheet ever youll pass
Prof Wathen is extremely nice and accommodating. Very personable, wants you to pass. Homework gives 3 tries, tests taken at home, no final. Class is a small lecture and worksheet. Work is easy to manage. Extra credit offered at the beginning of each chapter. Must purchase Cengage for $120.
Professor Wathen gave reading assignments that explained the concepts and she provided video's of her teaching the topics. That was very helpful since the course was online.
Professor Wathen is such a caring and nice professor. All assignments are through cengage plus a few discussion questions. I am definitely taking professor Wathen again!
She makes up her on test and gives lil time limit
Professor Wathen was great. Very helpful and caring of her students. She takes the time to go over everything slowly so you can understand and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Wish she taught ACC102.
I took this online summer class and it was very hard. It was demanding, but prof. made it feasible for us to have all the materials for each quizzes and tests. She always responded to my emails and was very understanding. She was firm but helpful with any questions you may have. Her online courses were well prepared and provided extra credit work.
She was an amazing and caring teacher who wanted us to succeed. Economics is not an easy class to grasp but she tried her best to make sure we did our best. Just do the work and try your best on the test and you should be fine. Don't associate the work with the professor, she is great and will help all her students. I really learned a lot.
One of the best professors at school, do not think twice about taking her. Makes the content digestible no matter how overwhelming it is and is always available outside of class to help. Offers etra credit and the tests are open-note. Even if you don't care about economics you will definitely learn in this class.
She's very caring about his students and is more than happy to give clarification for concepts that you don't understand. Highly recommend taking her even if because you will definitely learn a lot. The best Professor for ECO-201.
Took over winter 25. Class was more of an independent study, mainly reading, powerpoints, smartbooks, HW assignments, no tests only course project that took about 1-2 hours. Must stay on top of work bc this class is fast-paced (4 chapters/week), dedicate about 4-6 hours/chapter so 20 hours a week. Didn't get to interact w/her much but seems nice.
Took ECO-201 with this professor — she was the best! Her lectures were super clear, interesting, and made economics easy to understand. She truly cares about her students' success. I got an easy A while enjoying the class. Highly recommend!
