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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
