Horrible teacher, very picky on HW(expects to be typed, with formulas laid out), tests are based on the study guide, and hands out quizzes out of nowhere, not to mention very monotone and flat-out boring.
Not helpful at all. Makes anyone who asks any type of questions feel dumb. Never actually teaches anything, just reads notes off the board. Her goal is to make you fail
I'll be the second person to post here that she is an extremely dull monotone. She doesn't care at all about her students. It was interesting during the semester when another student in the class actually spoke out against her and criticized her teaching methods, while everyone else was in agreement. But it was very clear that she didnt care.
Don't take this class. almost the whole class dropped, test are hard, very picky about homework, quizzes are hard and she doesnt care if you learn or not. worst teacher that i have had
This is a great teacher if you want to learn the material. Most of the students just played around and did not come to class and expected to get a good grade when they did not do the work. She was very interesting and gave real world applications to the subject matter. She does not play and is very serious about the subject matter. If you do not pl
I have a feeling the previous post might have been Mrs. Linton herself. The other posters are correct. I am an older student and I did not play around in her class and still ended up dropping. Worst teacher I have had in college....period.

Rambles on about how much she hates the Bush Administration for half the class. Then she gets mad when people start asking questions when they don't understand. Very lame teacher.
Terrible! Kemp is recommended!
Difficult class, very organized. Expects a great deal out of students Must put in your study time. Rarely used the book, the Study Guide got me through this class. Go to class and really work the study guide you will succeed in this class. This teacher does not like excuses of any kind. She lays down the law on the first day and follows it.
Terrible professor; would not recommend for anyone! She's not helpful at all and her tests cover everything that she didn't go over in the homework assignments. The first post she wrote herself I swear. TAKE GRIFFIN!
Warning!!!If you want to pass Economics dont take this teacher!!!! Grades very picky and unfair!!! I do not recommend her to my worst enemy!
THE WORST INSTRUCTOR OF MY LIFE.
HORRRIBLE TEACHER PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER!!!!! VERY INCONSIDERATE AND A HORRIBLE TEACHER, IF AT ALL U DECIDE TO TAKE HER CLASS FORGET ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, KIDS ETC, NO OTHER LIFE!!! LOADS OF HOMEWORK, QUIZZES AND TEST
First you all the class was online and we had three different websites to go to for homework. On average we had about 8 assignments in 5 days. If you are taking any other classes forget about them if you want a B in this one. She is not helpful at all. I emailed her to ask her a question and she told me the same thing that was in teh book.
horriblllllllllllle teacher, dont take her, if you want to put your whole life on hold then take this class
Very uncaring towards her students. I dont reccommend taking this class unless you already have a strong background or excel at teaching yourself, shes is condescending and unwilling to help.
If you do not want a professor/instructor that just dishes out homework with no interaction or concerns about students growth, I would advise you to skip over her name when you're trying to enroll for a MacroEconomics course at TCC.
She is all that is wrong with teaching. Do not take her. She makes TCC look horrible
Run, run, and run. Do not select this professor. I have never had anyone give so much busy work. There are 3 different sites you will use for this class and assignments every other day. There is no consistency regarding do dates. The online lectures suck. Whatever you do, forget about a life, you will have no free time for other classes.
Not sure why she even started teaching. got a B in the class and hated every minute of it. Was a lot of fun to see her get flustered though. we would bash her political views every time she brought them up and back her into a corner. if u can do that and show her that ur smarter than her, she'll go a tad bit easier on u if u can do this. good luck.
This is the hardest and most demanding course I have ever taken - literally in class - working on homework, quizzes or tests 7 days a week for 4-7 hours a day - it is an accelerated Summer course - would not ever do that again - for Microeconomics - will take class at school during regular term - teacher very willing to work with you until you ge
Very hard class - detailed - lots of work - would not recommend taking this class as accelerated summer class. Class online very organized - Teacher very helpful - above and beyond when you called her - Made students responsible for their effort or lack of it
Very hard class, especially for summer. Lots of work. Teacher was very helpful. Not sure how she is in person, but online she was fine.Very organized. You always know where you are at in class.
Excellent teacher. Makes subject very clear and also requirements. If you want to continue your education I would recommend Mrs. Linton.
She is not the best instructor. I though she was an easy class, but I did do all my work and the extra credit. I ended up with an A+. Most, kids, did not show up to class most of the time, except on exam days. They are probably the ones that did not apply the MC versus MB analysis when it comes studying.
I attempted to take Ms. Linton's class years ago. I dropped because it required a ridiculous amount of work and she was just too picky. Since then, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Econ from TCU and more recently obtained my Master's from UNT. I still believe that she is an awful instructor and there is no reason for her to teach the way she does
I wish I would've known about this site before I signed up for her class. She gives a *ridiculous* amt of work. Take this course from another instructor. I can't imagine it's possible to get anyone who's worse.
I was surprised to see all the negative reviews here. I took her class this semester and it has been one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. Just do the homework, the practice quizzes and practice exams and you'll breeze through this class. Tons of extra credit available as well.Remember this is college!
She is an excellent teacher. I took her online Macro Econ class. There is a lot of work - homework every week, quizzes & tests & she also gives extra credit. She is quick to respond to your emails and will even call and talk to you if you need help understand. a concept. She makes everything very clear on her site too. Great teacher!!
She was a great teacher, I took her class online and it wasn't hard, she is very fair and very helpful. She is willing to go the extra mile if you are having trouble with something.
I took her online. Very easy. Homework was somewhat difficult but all test were directly from practice problems. With all the extra credit given I had a grade of 104 even after failing a few of the homework assignments.
This was an easy class as a summer online class. 4 weeks with extra credit and drops lowest grades. I would definitely recommend if you are just trying to get the credit.
I have to warn everyone not to take her class at any extent!!! She is very rude when you ask her any questions and makes you feel stupid if you try and answer a question when she calls on you. You have homework assignments almost everyday after class and tons of quizzes. Also, she gets very offensive about disagreement with her political views.
Not bad at all!! I took this class online and it was pretty easy, all u gotta do is study and complete all assignments on time and youll get an easy A! She's super nice
I made the mistake of taking her online. She assigns a ridiculous amount of homework and quizzes (5 assignments due on Thanksgiving week, no kidding). She's also very rude and not prompt with e-mail replies in the least. She's a crazy slave-driver. Non-econ majors must avoid her if they value their sanity and time for other courses.
took her online & unless u want to dedicate ur entire semester to keeping up with the REDICULOUS amount of hw u get den take her. if u just need the credit look elsewhere cuz u lose any time u want to use for other classes. shes nice but its unbelievable how much work she gives and if u make the mistake of taking her avoid the final by any means
Teacher is very difficult with her online class, everything I done through page out and the aplia website. It's the lack of communication and personalization that makes this class difficult.
I took the in-class version of it a few semesters ago. The class really isn't hard but I couldn't stand going to class because of her. Very annoying, thought she knows everything, speaks weird... Would not recommend this professor to my worst enemy. Never used the book or study guide, just memorized the answers of the reviews and got a high B...
HORRIBLE TEACHER.....MISSED ONE TEST BECAUSE I MISREAD THE WEBSITE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON. SHE LEFT ME A LOVELY LETTER THEN THE EMAIL RESPONES WAS HORRIBLE. SHE BASICALLY DOWNED YOU AND IS EXTREMELY RUDE. SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH AND I WOULD NOT SUGGEST TAKING HER. MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE DECIDING.
Wow! Her Study guides for her tests are her test minus a few problems. test have 50 questions, homework everyweek through Aplia. She is very organized everything is laid out so you no what to expect. She drops lowest quiz, hw, and test grades. Do not take her final 225 questions. Ridiculous. No late work no exceptions she doesnt care about u.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Even if you don't mind the work, if you have a technical issue, you will receive no help. TCC Distance Learning Support would love to help but cannot because she uses a 3rd party testing website.
So much work, you will live, eat, and breathe economics. Took over summer, 3-5 chapters a week with a required homework that has nothing to do with the notes or book, a quiz that has nothing to do with the notes, books, or hw, then a test that has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned items. This lady is psychotic and scares me. I got a B.
RRRRRUUUUNNNNN!!!! Do NOT waste your time or money on this class, this teacher is ridiculous. She does offer one on one help but only during the day when everyone has to work. Her tests are ofter over 200 question and 3 hours long!!! I like economincs but not this professor! RRRUUUNNNN!!!
Took both her Macro and Microeconomics class, summer and this fall. There is a LOT of work, but she is VERY responsive to emails and helpful. She is also pretty adaptive to the tools she is using. It does take some getting used to, but she gives you all the tools you need., it is up to you as to whether you need to actually use them all.
I took ECON 2301 and ECON 2302 from this professor and she was great. Her online class very organized and respond to e-mails fast and was always willing to help you with any problems. She even called me and explain a problem to me and no professor has even done that for me. She uses aplia and it is a great.
Took her online, found her to be helpful and organized. Although I had no technical issues or other issues, I felt she would do everything to help you out. She constantly sent out reminders and provided extra resources.
Took her this semester, great organized course and she was very helpful. I will take her for ECON 2302. Great teacher.
Great teacher. Willing to help and class very organized, u can earn a good grade if you study and follow directions at her website. i strongly recommend her and she answers e-mails quickly.
Best online class I have taken at TCC. Well organized classroom and professor really works hard to help you understand a difficulty subject. She answers e-mail faster than any of my other online teacher. Greatest professor at TCC and she gets A+ in my book.
Outstanding professor. She is compassionate and very very helpful and will answer your e-mails promptly . Strongly recommend her course.
Do NOT take! I understand this is a difficult class, but this teacher doesnt help! Book and notes were not helpful! She takes this class a little too serious.
She is great and really cares about her students. Course well organized.She also provides a Course Organizer to help you remember your assignments. The Aplia Website is great. I had her for ECON 2301 and I recommend her for both courses. She calls and walks you through any questions. I give her an A+.
Thank you for the way you structured this online class. The only way a student couldn't succeed would be by not trying. Thank you for taking the time with an online class.
I would like you say I have enjoyed this class, it was my first online class and it was a challenge but I am glad I took it. Thanks so much for all of your guidance. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Took online class-really easy if you apply yourself. Really easy if you read and complete all the assignments in APLIA. Watch the videos if you are a visual learner! She's a good teacher and communications well. Take her class! Organized too.
Took this class online. Tests are from 2-3 hours. Reading is a bit much. You will succeed once you figure out that quizzes & tests come from the sample probs & not the book. Expect to spend time on homework. You can get a good grade if you apply yourself. Not an easy class though. Lots of tests & quizzes. U can drop lowest test/quiz & hw grade tho.
This class is okay, took online summer but She is not forgiving with anything.
Ms. Linton outlines everything needed to succeed in her class. She does require a lot of work, but that helps your overall grade. I have taken several online classes and her class is one of the most well organized and offers a varity of tools for success. Take this class, if you put forth the effort you will get an A.
The worst professor, I have ever had and I have had the misfortune of attending four other universities. Picky, overloading, and demanding. Forgets that everyone has three other classes also. I spend 20hrs a week, just on here class and the homework has nothing to do with the book. Discusting excuse for an instructor.
Lots of people complaining about this teacher. Reality is, this teacher is an excellent teacher. She gives you 110% of what you need to succeed in the course. All she requires is that you put the time into doing the work. All you have to do is apply yourself. It's not hard, she makes it very easy to understand, quick responses to email!
Could not imagine taking a better professor for econ. seriously AMAZING. took it online and she outlines everything you need to succeed. econ can be difficult but she is beyond helpful and gives you a clear cut path to an A. DO NOT listen to the bad reviews, they scared me away at first but I am so glad that I took her class anyway.TAKE HER!!!!!
SO EASY. I took her class because it was the last online class available for the semester and judging by the other reviews here I thought it would be hard. first of all tests are NOT even close to 2-3 hours and they are IDENTICAL to the review she posts. I didn't read the book at all but did need it for the examples. made an A. TAKE HER
I honestly had a very difficult time with this class. This professor is not forgiving with her grades (which I understand). I was very stressed trying to get her work done along with other professors. I recommend this class if you are not taking any other classes or only one other. Sometimes I felt like she forgot most of us take other classes.
Linton is great! I took this class along with 14 more hours and I didn't have a hard time at all. She outlines what is expected of you and as long as you do it you will be fine. Book is needed.
Took her online course and it was easy. The tests are just like review. The homework can be challenging at times but wasn't impossible and she was really helpful as well if you needed it. I would recommend her definitely
I took this online so I don't really know how to rate as a lecturer. Homework and tests were challenging, but she did provide ample materials to succeed in the online course. She sent me a nice email saying she was glad I was in her class. Nice lady. Take her for online economics.
Great teacher and very organized online course. She was very helpful and answered e-mails really fast. She cares about the success of her students. She is the best online instructor I have had at TCC. I recommend her to all of my friends.
I took 5 classes this semester and the format of her class was far superior to all the others. She gives you lecture notes that make sense, powerpoint's to go along with the lecture notes, and reviews that actually cover the material on the test. I enjoyed her format so well, I signed up for her Micro course next semester.
I have taken this class online. She gives you notes, Power Point and videos to watch. She is NOT forgiving on grades which she tells you from day 1. She doesn't allow late work. This class requires a lot of reading and attention. With all that being said if you read, watch the videos and turn your work in on time this class is an easy A.
Awesome Class. Structured very well for an online class. I did so well I did not have to take the final and I made an A+ ! There is quite a bit of homework but it counts toward your grade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Easy class. She is very well organized. She provides notes, power-points and videos. Test reviews are provided and very similar to test. Put in the work and you will get an easy A!
Very demanding class. She is not forgiving when it comes to grades. When you reach out for help to try and improve your score or if there was an issue with your time because its due by the deadline save your breath.
SHE WILL NOT instruct you on how to do problems, when emailed, she'll tell you to read or look at a website. The homework is on APLIA, and only 3 tries until you understand the concept (it deducts credit every time). Powerpoints, videos, notes, DO NOT go over how problems are worked. So you are on your own with google. GOod luck. AVOID! AVOID!!!!!!
Very organized for an online course. She informs all students what she expects in her class from the start. She's a tough grader but if you do the work and study you'll pass. I would take another one of her classes.
Don't have to buy a book for her class! She provides you with a free online textbook. Just keep up with all the work and you'll be guaranteed to pass! She also drops your lowest test, quiz, and homework grades, so if you miss a couple assignments or a test, it's no biggie!
I considered this class to be very hard, but I never did the readings and am very bad at any class involved with math. This class was not the hardest, but I wish I kept in better contact with the teacher. That being said, some of her email responses to me might seem a bit rude or off-putting to other students. Prepare to work hard!!
Took her for Macroeconomics online, easy A. She has clear grading critieria, and she tells you up front when things are due. Drops 3 lowest HW grades, 1 lowest quiz, and 1 lowest test. Also gave extra credit at beginning of semester worth 60 pts.
HW given through Aplia. Quizzes and test were also through Aplia, which uses the exact same questions as the homework. I read each chapter and watched all the videos before doing hw. Easy A if you understand and keep up with readingvideos! There are also test reviews available before tests. Read directions carefully!! Book is free online.
If you do not have a knack for economics, you will find this class very difficult. I got the sense that 34 of the class dropped during the semester. Professor Linton was not helpful. She did not respond to one of my emails asking for clarification on an assignment and refused what I thought was a simple request. On a positive note -free textbook!
I took Prof. Linton's summer online Microecon class and did not enjoy the experience. The homework was fairly easy (I took Macro before and it helped) and I actually enjoyed the interactive aspect. There's no grace for any flubs on your part. Do the assignments on time or you will fail. She's not a teacher, but a facilitator.
Great Professor and course organized very well. She expects you to complete your assignments by due dates and provides excellent resources to help you understand the material. You also get a FREE textbook. Aplia is a great Website to help you understand and apply the concepts. I took her for ECON 2301 also and loved it.
Beautiful woman, tough grader but you have to work for it.
No help here at all! If you do HAVE to take her, do NOT take her online! If you are registered for an online class with her I would drop it! Also beware that she chooses a "free" book for you to download but that book does not adequately cover the material in Aplia. I am an A student and made a B! Facilitator of assignments not a professor!
Goes down the roll sheet and calls on you randomly. Lots of reading and expects you to know material without her teaching it. Doesn't tolerate absences, tardies, etc and almost feels like she picks on someone new every day. Don't take unless you have to.
Lots of reading and homework. The free text book provided is nice, however it does not cover everything that you will be quizzed on. I found that even after reading the book, lecture notes, and watching the videos I was still having to google how to work out certain equations. Overall, the class isn't too difficult though.
Professor Linton helps prepare her students for success. She is a no nonsense teacher though. Show up, do the material. She gives prequizzes to her exams and if you pay attention to them, they are basically the same as the exams. Same for the homework and her test. Easiest class I've had by far. Don't forget to sign in!
I think it's funny all these negative reviews. yes she is tough on us but because she cares. She helped me achieve an A in her class, and still managed to teach me. For every negative Nancy, next time do the work. You can't expect for them to hold your hand throughout college. she is amazing and I will miss her classes. Laziness will hinder you.
If you do the work and study the questions, you will get an A or a B. Tests, quizzes, and homework are always ONLINE and make up 98 percent of the grade. Four homeworks, one test, and one quiz are dropped. What I've noticed is that the people who are lazy do not pass this class. Do not skip, you will be dropped if you miss more than four classes.
If you study the material in every weekly lesson you will find that she provides tremendous information to help you succeed & do very well. The instructor is very gracious to provide online reviews via blackboard, practices sets she DIRECTLY emails to her students and take advantage of any videos she uploads they are awesome reviews too! Study&Pass
super hard teacher and tough grader. Class is already hard as it is.... theres a lot of information that she gives you for the class and its too much information. online class is graded basically from aplia. Basically everything you do for the entire class is on aplia. alot of self learning if you take it online.
Ms. Linton is an amazing professor. Her class is structured well so if you do the homework, you will pass. You do have to read the book & pay attention in class, but it will not automatically fail you if you don't. She is a wonderful woman & I wish she offered more courses. You do have to slightly work for your grade but she makes it easy to learn.
She literally gives everything you need to pass (with at least a B, if not an A) on a silver platter. All graded work is online (APLIA), textbook is free. Drops 4 hwk, 1 quiz, 1 test. She appreciates class participation - read the weekly Learning Module. If you put in no effort, it shows. Go to class - easy A. She cares about her students' success.
Took the class on line, definitely do the homework!! She drops some hw and test at the end but as long as you follow the syllabus and turn in work you will definitely pass she is caring and wants students to succeed. I slacked on hw which i now regret and got a C in Economics.
This class require you to read online textbook, everything in professor lecture is coming from textbook, but in great detail. All the homework, quiz, and text are on Aplia site. It is not that hard, study and you pass, 80% of the problems are math solving ( +,-,*,/,) She really care about her student, She making sure they understand before move on.
Mrs. Linton is the best professor I think I have ever had. Her class is so easy - just do the work. She doesn't baby you like some professors do but as long as you actually try you will do well. I made over a 100 in her class because I cared enough to do the homework and in class problems. There is a lot of homework but you learn so much.
Well organized. The syllabus has all due dates, extra credits, etc.. Generous drop policy too, 4 hw, 1 quiz, 1 test drop. Textbook is free. Work is done on a website. The most important thing to remember is that the textbook doesn't give you everything you need. That stuff is taught in class. Also she calls on people randomly. Otherwise not hard
I took the Econ 2302 online class as a short summer course. It was great and would gladly take her again. The course is through a website and its cheap along with a free book. The book does not provide all the information you need for the homework but she provides extra resources (videos) to watch that will give you an understanding.
Great Teacher. Took her Online. Loved her assignments, three tries for every question although they are not all easy. I loved how the homework prepared us for the Quizzes and Quizzes for the Test. It was awesome. Plus she drops the lowest test quiz and homework grades. Finally realized how much I missed her class. Very organized online.
Class is easy, professor is horrible! Pros: Free book, large number of dropped grades. Cons: She is rude, not at all helpful & acts like answering emails is a bother. Assignments are done on Aplia. She only grades the discussion board and she gave me a ZERO on that. She made excuses and told me multiple contradictory reasons why my grade was bad.
Online classes are the best. I learned a lot. This was a very straight forward course. 4 exams and 4 quizzes. She drops both the lowest exam and quiz grade. We had weekly homework on Aplia. The textbook was open source, so it was free. This was an online course, so you teach yourself but the material is easy to understand.
She was a very interesting teacher... calls on people randomly so you better have read the chapter before class. if you don't know its kind of embarrassing. all of the homework, tests and quizes are online and done at home so you can use the work sheets you do in class to help you. or you could do them with a group. final is in class.
Professor Delores Linton was tough, but caring. She made the classes easy to understand and the homework,quizzes, and test were understandable. If you had any questions she made it easy to ask her and she honestly cared. You will appreciate her!!!
My favorite teacher so far. she really cares about her students and wants all of us to gain knowledge. she seems very tough, but by the end of the semester, you will love her. Be prepared to read, and pay attention in the class. The homework prepares the quizzes, and quizzes prepare the tests. Final is OPTIONAL. I learned so much form her class.
Very stern teacher. Doesnt have time to wait on slow learners so if your one of those maybe dont take her class... LOTS of homework but follows the syllabus. She can be very condescending when asked a question. HUGE on attendance but honestly the lectures help tremendously with hw. Read the material, show up, do the work and youll get an A...
