No Comments

monotone and boring but very clear. listen and study and this class is an easy A or B.

class isnt hard but damn the test grades were a lot lower than I was expecting after studying. Just pay attention and go to class and it isnt that bad.

Easy, just attend class everyday to get notes. Don't need book ever. Test mulitchoice with a few calculations, all from notes. She never misses class and always on time.

GREAT TEACHER!!! She's really nice too, and she'll help you out if you go to her office. You do need to go to class though,and you should do allright. It does require some studying.

Study and go to classs, easy A. There is no need to buy the book. Extra credit Quizes

makes economics understandable and is a really nice lady. go to class to get the notes, she is very helpful at the end of the year and give extra points here and there to get your grade up.

She is cooler than a polar bear's toe nails. Do the quick checks that are on her "over online" homepage, know the notes and graphs and you'll get an A.

boring class but if u come to class you should do aight

Very knoledgable and clear. Just make sure you go to every class. She doesnt take attendance and if you know econ alright you shouldnt have to buy the book.

Very good teacher. GO TO CLASS and you will be fine. It's simple - just do what she says and its an easy B

She wants you to do well. Cares about her students and also helps you learn concepts not just memorizing them

awesome teacher. Go to class and take good notes and its an easy B. Tests can be tricky but also easy if you think. Dont even need to buy the econ book really, all tests come from the notes. overall a good econ teacher.

Not an easy class, but she makes it interesting... RIGHT??... Yeah! Good at explaining things and making you understand. No attendance policy but i encourage you to go!

At the beging she may seem scary and hard but not at all.She is just awesome and wants you to do well.All you need to do is come to class, take good notes, do the HW and the tests will be piece of cake for you(and easy A). Take her- great professor

She is great. If you go to class and read the chapters, this class is a very easy A. Like any class, you have to try and understand. Her tests are relatively easy too. She does have an attendance policy in the summer.

Grr...Definitely not a fan of her, somehow you walk in with one grade into the final and then it magically drops a couple letters! WTF! She's scary with the same hair-do, part thing going on...people cheat and she somehow doesn't notice!?! Grr..don't

By far the lowest grade I have made in my whole life, even though I worked my butt off. Grade definitely did not reflect my effort. Good teacher, but poor preparation for tests (no study guides, no reviews, no problems to work). Good luck with her!

economics just sucks period..lol, but she tries to use real life examples when teaching. Not a bad lady...seems pretty nice...economics just sux pd..but what are ya gonna do?

She is a great professor. Will use real world examples when she can to explain stuff. If you pay attention, attend every class and take notes, you will do well. See her office hours for more help. She is willing to help you get an A!

She is a good teacher. She teaches things in depth and clearly. I just do not like Econ! She is monotone, but has her own sense of humor

The class is not that bad but you must go to take good notes. The exams are based mainly on your notes so..........Go to class and you will do fine.

The class itself just sucks, but she trys to make it enjoyable. Very monotone voice but if you take good notes and study the book the class is a breeze.

econ blows...lol, but she is probably the best teacher for it. uses real life examples to help you remember concepts....

All of the tests are based on her lectures. She attempted to make a boring class more enjoyable. She did explain concepts in the easiest manner possible. Did not even need the book. Very good professor.

She's okay. I don't know what the person below was talking about, because her examples are horrible and not real-life at all. BUT, if you go to class, take notes, and go over the "quick checks" before the tests, then you should do fine.

Class was not too bad, considering the subject. She's gives good notes and gives helpful examples in class, but I suggest buying the book if you really want an A. Get your hands on the old tests (easy to find for her class) and it will help tremendously!

What a trip! Loved every minute of the class, she really brings things back to reality and out of the theoretical clouds.

Easy Class during Summer 05. Unneccesary to buy the book, Exams derive from lecture. You MUST attend class. Take notes, do the quick checks online and you will get an A. Uses examples to explain all theories of supply,demand, and markets. Whoever said micro is harder than macro is crazy. Use common sense and logic and you will pass.

Good teacher. Doesnt take attendance but the tests are straight from notes in class. Explains things really well.

She is a really good professor. She gives great examples to make things clear. Don't bother with the book because her tests come straight from the notes, so if you're one to skip class, you may not want to go with Sewell.

Good teacher, she relly tries to keep you entertained throughout the class. Her test are pretty hard, even with the quick checks. I had her in the Fall 05, and her test were kind of tricky. If you go to SI and attend class you should at least get a C. Nice teacher.

she is a good teacher.. lots of examples along with her teachings.. tends to get VERY boring though.. but she tries to keep students involved with this dull material.. go to SI sessions and do practice problems.. tests are very straight forward and mostly word-for-word from notes..

I had her for summer school and it was tough. She gives pop quizzes-sometimes twice a week, therefore attendence is very important. Take good notes b/c sometimes you can use them during the quizzes. Although I learned a lot in the end it was a hard class. Her test are difficult.

THIS SI THE BEST ECON TEACHER AT UNCC PERIOD. I TOOK MICRO OVER SPRING AND SHE WAS SO GOOD I TOOK MACRO OVER SUMMER WITH HER. I MEAN SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT AND IT WILL MAKE SENSE. SO TAKE HER FOR MICRO/MACRO, SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT UNCC FOR ECON. THANKSSS MS.SEWELL

Ms. Sewell is a great teacher. Really good at explaining economic concepts and was very fair and easy. Provides a lot of examples with concepts and is very approachable. Quizzes are tests are very fair and if you come to class and keep up with the notes you should definitely get an A!

You will want to take Macro before Micro. I did and it made this much easier. She's a great proffessor and wants you to do well. Listen to her and she makes it clear how you can get an A. It doesn't get any clearer. Attendance not mandatory. But if you should go every day, it makes it way easier.

tests are hard but she knows what she is talking about

Wonderful professor, true educator. Prof. Sewell is clear and helpful. Economics can be difficult for some people but she is always willing to help and cares about her students. If you do not go to class, just drop out of college because you will not gain anything from this class, if you do not go and will most likely fail.

Attendance is not mandatory, but with her giving quizzes out so often, it's hard to miss one class and not miss a quiz.

I took macro and micro years ago when she went by Miller. If you show of to class and do your homework and correct mistakes on your homework this is a very easy A. Years later I find economics much more interesting. There needs to be a class on economics gone wrong. Exploring how economies collapse are like a train wreck. cool stuff

dont miss a class,you have to take a easy quizz 15%of grade. study question which are posted online. you dont need the book because her testscome sraight from the notes. Just attend her class and take a note if you take a note well you need to study for 2hour to get an A each test promise,If you absence and try to learn from book no more than 75

really nice!

All you people who enjoyed this were clearly free-basing. She is like the female Ben Stein in "ferris bueller's day off." Her tests are tricky and a lot of the answer choices are contradictory. Take Carol Stivender instead, who's tests are much more generally oriented instead of focusing on some BS details you may have missed in class.

Go to class and read the book you will be fine.

her class is extremely interesting, she relates everyting to the real life which makes it easier for you to get the idea. attendence is optional but if you attende the class and take a good note you will get an A. her test is not easy but if you paid attention to her examples in the class and be carful when reading the questions you will be fine.

Attendance is not mandatory but she does give pop quizzes every so often. VERY few hw assignments. Does not use powerpoint slides, which can make notetaking a little difficult. A good professor overall - answers questions both in class & by email!

Just go to class. She's a really good teacher, clear and straight to the point. There wasn't homework the year I went, but just studying was enough. I recommend this teacher.

i recommend this teacher; she is a remarkable educator! whether you took macro before or not, she will explain everything very clearly, with life examples, and not moving forward until the topic is 100% clear! no HM, only occasional pop-quiz (4 or 5 total). book reading would somewhat help, but can get an A without it, if attend all lectures. A+!

Great teacher! does well to explain all material except for a one or 2 outlier questions on each test. Take good notes and study her quick check she gives as a study tool. lot of problems from it show up on tests. HW and quizzes are easy. If you pay attention you will get an easy A.

Great professor who knows what she is talking about. She will do whatever she can to help you succeed as long as you go to class. Old school, with no powerpoints, but it works for her. Her tests are not too bad, and she gives pop quizzes so GO TO CLASS!If you need a B in this progression course, TAKE HER!!!

An awesome teacher! She teaches old school, all lecture and no powerpoints. She tries hard in every class to get her teachings through. One of the best classes and teachers I have taken at UNCC.

Don't let these people confuse you. She bends over backwards to get points across. Yes, she doesn't use powerpoints or handouts. She asks multiple times a class if there are any questions. She's more than willing to meet with you. The people giving her bad ratings probably never went to class and expected to pass. Amazing woman.

I don't understand the negative comments. She knows her material...that's why she DOESN'T use powerpoint. She will STOP at any time to answer questions and she is helpful inside and outside the class room. IF you go to class and pay attention and actually STUDY instead of memorizing the material...you will learn and EASILY pass the class.

Def. knows her material. Does not do pwrpts, SOMETIMES writes on board. Listen carefully and take detailed notes. All tests come heavily from class notes and some quick check. 3 quizzes, 3 homework, 3 tests (all curved for us), 1 final. Does some extra credit. Lets out early occasionally. Drops lowest HW/Quiz grade. Boring, but nice and helpful.

Economics has always been difficult for me but Prof. Sewell is very clear and easy to understand. She writes on a blackboard but it wasn't a problem. She is very understanding if you have problems and was responsive to emailed questions. If you go to class you don't need to read the book, but if you miss a few classes I would recommend it.

She is very knowledgeable of the material she is teaching. If you are not all that interested in the material, you may want to seek a different professor. However, if you are willing to learn, take her. You have to put the work in and study but I made a B without buying the book. Her tests are tough, but everything on the tests, comes from lectures

I wrote this review because i think other reviews are not fair. I completed this class with an A just by attending every class and taking good notes. If you plan to miss a lot of classes then choose someone else otherwise would recommend her 100%

Go to class!!! She is a good teacher but the material is tuff no matter who you take it with. She explains things well by using real life examples. Seriously all I did was review my notes each night for that day during the summer semester and made an easy A. No need to buy the book. Just go to every class and you're guaranteed a good grade.

im taking the class with her now and shes an extremely nice professor. incredibly difficult class even for econ students though. iv heard that its a gpa killer. try to avoid if you can.

Dr. Sewell is tough, but a great professor and I think she cares more about her students than anyone I know. She really knows her stuff and makes her classes very interesting. Highly recommend!

Dr. Sewell was probably one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. In the way that she explains everything, she does really well. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does give pop quizzes aka quizzes where all you do is write your name and get a 100. As long as you pay attention and study you'll do just fine. And you don't need the textbook!

Good teacher if you put in the time and effort. Not hard material. Tests are 60%, but not hard just 30 multiple choice.

Very clear with the material and is helpful if you go ask for it.

Took her for ECON 2102 over the summer, shes a good teacher. All homework was very easy and I made some of the best test grades of my life in this course as well. She is very clear about her information and presents it in a way that is easy to comprehend. I would recommend. I also didn't even get the course text book, wasn't necessary.

I loved taking Econ with Sewell and I would definitely take her again for another Econ course. She is very fair and consistent with her exams and very helpful if you need clarification or help on any of the material. She also offered an extra credit option that gave you up to 10 points on the final exam!

Ms. Sewell is a great professor she curves almost every test a minimum of 10 points becaause they are fairly rough, but she also provides a study guide which can help you. If you take good notes many questions come directly from those notes so just go to class and participate and you should have no problem getting an A or B

Great professor. Very smart, very well spoken and knows what she's talking about.

One of the best business professors I've had. Super helpful and as long as you pay attention in class and study its an easy B. Great lecturer with useful examples, bring slides to class, textbook not necessary, curves most tests, and is easy to reach outside of class.

Took this class as a pre-business major looking to get into finance and switched solely because of her. Very quiet and reserved, but if you get to know her shes very intelligent. I loved her class. Work hard, take good notes and study and you'll be fine. She is one of the best in the department and school

Ms. Sewell is an absolutely amazing teacher! Please get the book. After lectures, reading the book would help explain things more or clear up things I found confusing. 4-7 HW assignments total. Study and be sure to read the book and you will be fine! She is more than willing to help anyone. Also study the practice tests they are good prep material.

She was a pretty usual professor, she definitely knows what she's talking about as she's very knowledgeable, she brings real life examples into the lecture which is really helpful. She's an approachable nice lady and is willing to help. The class is not hard, especially for an economics student. I'd be okay with taking her again.

Great lectures. Explains concepts very nicely. There are (really basic attendance style) pop quizzes but she just wants to encourage you to be in class. The content is manageable and easy to score high if you PAY ATTENTION in class/take notes and show up to all classes. Course content is difficult unless you have a lecture break it down for you.

Come to class everyday and you may not even need to buy the textbook. Print out the lecture PowerPoint before class as she goes over the material quickly, and you will be better off spending your time listening to the lectures than trying to copy down all the diagrams and paragraphs. You should also be prepared for a small amount of technophobia.

Very intelligent professor. She really encourages TO THINK on the topics, which most students don't do. A lot of stuff is common sense if you THINK. I learned so much about the economy, people, world, etc. from this class. Make sure to do the practice exams - very helpful for exams. She does not curve every exam. Work hard and think.

Great professor. Makes the concepts easy to understand. Tests are pretty straight-forward and are more concept based. Gives extra credit for final. She's more beneficial for office hours because the classes are large, plus she's a good resource for your major. Very approachable and smart. Would take again.
