This is an easy class. The format of the class is the following : midterm + 2 papers. Going to lectures is useless, just read the power points she posts online. The post midterm material is irrelevant to the papers so don't even bother reading the lectures slides. If you spend a lot of time on your papers, you will easily get good grades! Good luck

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Only 208 prof that doesn't weight your final more heavily if you perform poorly on the midterm. Also told us that the final would be 50% pre-midterm material and 50% post-midterm material which was completely false. Not helpful at all, and impossible to understand. AVOID

Kicks students out of office, lectures unclear, & assignment/exam questions are unclear and have faulty assumptions. Exams look SUPER similar to practices/assignments, so do them! MUST do diagrams her way. DEFINITELY go review your exams 'cause she'll just *miss* points sometimes; go challenge it, you're not the first. Get a tutor and study groups!

She's hard to understand and her Micro midterm was hard for an intro course but 313 exam was not bad for a 300 level. She tries to help you but gets frustrated easily during office hours. But read the textbook (in depth) if you want above a c+.

Can't understand and says correct??? every 2 minutes. I wouldn't know it it's correct because she doesn't explain well and only draws graphs that mean nothing to me when reviewing them. Gonna likely start showing up to a teacher who knows how to teach

Going to class is useless since we don't understand a word she says. She +/- reads the slides but not in the good order. TA left in Ottawa with our midterms, didn't give any information about how to get them back. 2 papers, you have to submit the second one 2 weeks after the 1st (without having received any feedback).

Prof is rude and acts like she's doing you a favour by simply responding to emails. She relied on a TA in Ottawa who takes upwards of a week to get back to you, just to brush you off in the end. On top of that, he had the gall to be a harsh marker when he refuses to offer any feedback whatsoever. Prof was no help when contacted about this issue.

She knows the subjects she's teaching very well. However, she doesn't make any efforts to make sure students understand what she's teaching. Her handwritten notes are really hard to understand in class, which makes it difficult to follow. Also, you can't keep saying "is this alright" and move on without checking whether it's actually alright.

Worst teacher - most people don't come to class and just learn from the book by themselves. Will not follow slides, and goes off on a lot of tangents. Also, her accent makes her difficult to understand, and she's not a strong lecturer. Fair exams, but basically have to teach yourself the whole course. Would not recommend.

Terrible professor. It makes me feel bad to say that cause she seems like she's nice, maybe on a good day, but her class was an absolute nightmare. She expected us to do regressions and perform all this crazy advanced econometrics stuff or else you would straight up get a 50, even if the paper is good. Her midterm was impossible and unfair. AVOID.

- difficult to follow because she goes on unrelated tangents - does not use the document camera for the lecture recordings - focuses a lot on irrelevant material (which is not tested) - incomplete syllabus - very poor guidelines for the written papers (really BAD! the question itself was convoluted and unclear on what she expected, no rubric)

More robot than a teacher. Speaks quickly. Boring lecturer. Avoid if you can.

Sb the worst teach ever

least favorite econ prof at McGill. Exams are not fair. while other profs tend to reduce the materials for the exam due to the current pandemic, she would make students suffer more by giving us the worst final exam ever (10-12hrs to finish) because it's an open-book exam now.

AVOID AT ALL COST

Well, if you like taking a class with a prof that seems to hate teaching and that could not care less about her students success, then this is for you! Eesha is a harsh grader, difficult to understand when speaking and she will never recognize her responsibility upon making a mistake. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Avoid.

She is literally the worst professor I've ever had. Avoid taking classes with her at all cost, she is absolutely horrible.

she is hands down the worst instructor ive ever had in 14 years of schooling. its actually impressive how bad she is at lecturing - she goes so fast, rly hard to understand, seems to have no interest in the topic. she told us in advance that everyone fails the midterm - maybe make it easier then?? class is rly difficult too. AVOID AVOID

Did not listen to her lectures i only read the textbook because she is impossible to understand. She does not want her students to succeed and when we asked for an extension on a 10 page paper we had to do 2 weeks after the midterm she was super passive agressive

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I had to take her three times. She speaks too fast and is confusing. I never attended lectures for that reason. I just read the textbook. She decided the day we had to submit our last essay to remove the late penalty all that to reinstate it 4 days later when it would of been -20%. I never write reviews but I felt it necessary.

Probably the most unintuitive explanations you will ever receive from a prof. Its hard to tell whether she is genuinely bad at explaining or whether its out of spite for students. Her expectations were often unclear and she did not offer much guidance in terms of how to prepare for assessments. I would not take another class with her.

I've never had such an unaccommodating professor. Many students had technical issues with the McGill website while trying to submit graphs/equations for the midterm. They emailed her the material instead (during the midterm window), and she refused to accept any of it. The average was 58% as a result. Lectures were dense and overly complicated.

Avoid at all costs. Going so fast that most of the students were lost. Skip the classes and read the textbook as the exam will only be on the textbook material (which she follows). Rude in emails avoid asking her questions she will shame you for not understanding. Overall really bad.

prof goes way too fast in lectures and would sometimes not use the slides in class when teaching. just read the textbook and you should be fine. final exam is worth an absurd 70% and i'm paying tuition to teach myself but it is what it is lmao

Not a good prof. Speaks very fast and is incomprehensible at times. The final is worth 70% which is absolutely ridiculous. The two midterms were online, but they don't prepare you for the insane amount of content we're expected to memorize for the final. Take this class during the summer, or prepare for it in advance. I'm regretful.

The prof only graded us based on two midterms worth 15% each and a 70% final. Even if we ace both midterms, we could fail the class just based on the final. She speaks way too fast, and her slides are not easily digestable. She has a textbook's worth of information on the slides, and it takes her up to 6 slides to explain one concept.

I literally taught myself the whole course, no joke. She speaks very fast, and has a thick accent making it impossible to understand what she is saying. You're much better off skipping her class altogether and just reading the textbook. I would avoid her at all costs.

Do not take this course with this prof AT ALL COSTS. She speaks SO fast, difficult to understand, extremely difficult way of teaching . . . macro is such an easy course but she makes it so hard. I had to teach myself and get outside resources in order to pass. Would not recommend!

Made a hard class 10x harder. Speaks fast, could barely understand what she was saying, no time to write notes in class. Every lecture was an info dump, very overwhelming. if you slow down/pause her recordings, her explanations are actually decent, but her 1hour videos took 2+hours to get through. do ALL the mcq many times to practice for final!

Do NOT take her if you can avoid. If you're in IDS and have to take this class, just wait during summer because honestly if you haven't done any maths since like highschool this will be way harder than expected. She speaks SO fast, making it hard when maths are explained, only students that seem to understand are the ones that have done calc.

Lectures are taken directly from the textbook but missing important information. Often speaks quickly but says the same things three times. Tests have unclear grading criteria.

She is the worst prof I have ever had.

Lectures are fully pulled from the textbook but the textbook makes more sense. There were two exams, which expected you to have every graph memorized (no way to know which ones were on exam). The questions were open ended but a specific response was required and expected a lot of writing in a short period of time.

Midterm (30%) and exam (70%) were tough. The lectures were also hard to follow.

Avoid if you can, unless you have hours to spare to teach yourself the course in your own time. The kind of professor that makes you angry when you remember you're paying tens of thousands of dollars to an institution for an education.

boring lecturer who doesn't respond to email. pretty hard tests and we only had 2 grades, 20% for the mid-term and 80% for the final which consisted of multiple question answers.

She goes way too fast in lectures and doesn't even teach you what you will need to know for the exams. Do NOT take her you WILL regret it!

Probably the worst professor I have had so far at McGill.

Worst prof to have for such a simple class. Its hard to understand her because of her accent and she overcomplicates things that are not as difficult as she makes them seem. She teaches more content then teachers in the same section and makes pretty hard midterms and finals.

She is not a good prof, doesn't know how to explain simple concepts and overcomplicates everything. Her powerpoint presentations are easier to follow than her actual lectures. You kind of have to teach yourself the class with what she gives you. Other problem is that there is only two grades midterm and final so overall would not recommend

One of the worst teachers I have ever had. Completely overcomplicates everything and is very hard to follow. You will be teaching yourself this whole course. Questions from the tests are taken from the practice tests. Overall, she is a brilliant person, but a horrible professor.

Teacher who complicates what should be understandable material

The worst educator I've ever encountered. Lectures make no sense and she is scatterminded when she teaches. She is rude, unaccomodating and does not seem to understand rules at McGill. If you have the option to take a class with her with anyone else, then take it, otherwise, DO NOT TAKE THE CLASS WITH HER.

Lectures are incredibly complicated even though the material is very simple. Attendance is not mandatory, so I didn't attend lectures and just took thorough notes on the textbook and slides. Received a 90 on the midterm (30% of grade) and am taking the final soon - DO THE PRACTICE TESTS ON MYCOURSES, some questions on exams are taken from them.
