Seems likes good teacher...until the quizzes/tests. Class avg. on quix 1 was 10.2/17 and class avg. on midterm was 67.4%. Doesnt use the book...but I read the book and it is helpful. She should use it.

Great teacher, she has a passion for what she is doing and knows the material well. Is always looking to answer any questions, test are not simple but you can only fail her tests if you dont show up/ study/ or listen.

shes great

This teacher is truly awesome. I have no passion for econ and actually failed the first time around, but in her class I got a B without even buying the book. Her lectures are very clear and easy to understand.

Bucci is a great teacher. She's very helpful when you ak her for it. However, her material is difficult to grasp if you're not quick on your feet. Also, never miss a class and don't buy the book.

Good teacher, over all, very nice. Grading is very hard. I attended all classes, studied hard, and still got a 33% on the midterm. Only take if your seriouse. NOT at blow off class.

She is a great professor. Her lectures are clear. You don't need the book, but her tests are hard so be prepared to study a lot. However, you will come out of the class really understanding the material.

Class not easy but teacher is very nice. Definitely will keep your attention throughout class with her energetic nature. Entire class grade based on midterm Final and two quizzes. Hard tests the X factor in this class.

One of the best professors in the department. She's tough but fair. Be prepared to study and attend all lectures. Her tests are 100% from the lecture notes, which are thorough and percise. You will exit the class with deep knowledge of the subject.

Amazing teacher, I noticed people on here griping about her but they all expect the mediocrity that they are used to. If you want to get your $2,000 worth, take her she will challenge you and teach you, College is not supposed to be easy anyway!

I think she does a fine job teaching the class. she is funny, alive, you just cn't sleep in her class. I rcommend her to everyone.

1ST EXAM-ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND AGLOMERATION IS A MUST.rent gradient. SOMETHING WITH THE ICE MAKING FACTORY EXAMPLE AS WELL IS THERE. she is an amazing teacher...loves wats she does and helps you out if u need it.goin 2 clas is a must as som xam is from notes.easy teacher.

I had prof. bucci years ago as a econ major.. and i got to tell ya i still remember almost everything she said, which is "tottaly cool" way to go A+ job

A great teacher. She will bend over backwards to make sure that you understand the subject matter. But she doesn't take any crap. She likes to cover a lot of material so it's never an easy A, but aren't we in school to learn. If so then Bucci is the best on the DePaul economics staff.

SHE IS ALL ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE SUBJECT AND I APPRECIATE IT. SHE DOES EXCPECT A LOT, BUT BELIEVE ME I HAVE SEEN WORSE :) DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO SOMEHOMEWORK, SHE LIKES GENUINE EFFORDS EVEN NOT COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL.

economics has never been my favorite subjects. Now I like it because professor Bucci made it so interesting and alive. She knows her stuff very well and does a good job explaining. however, she doesn't take any **** from anyone. She is really fun and I had a great time in her class and I still r

I’ve taken Bucci for three economics courses and have received an A in all of them. Frankly, she is one of the best professors at DePaul. However, she does not “inflate” grades like most professors; you must earn a good grade. So how do you earn a good grade? Forget about the textbook. Instead, go to EVERY class and take DETAILED notes.

She's clear, concise, and does not stray from the syllabus. Attendance is mandatory if you want to score and A. She's a fair grader, open to argument, but her exams are challenging; they take a strong understanding of Econ and the ability to apply a conceptual understanding of class material to her random exam examples.

Don't listen to the people talking trash, they do not care to learn and do not like to be challenged. She is very helpful if you ask her and you don't even need the book. She makes it fun and interesting.

I have taken Bucci for two different Econ classes and she is an awesome teacher. You will never be bored in her class and she is not difficult, she is interesting. Her tests are very straightforward, no tricks. She will bend over backwards to make sure that you undertsand the material. She does not want to see any student do poorly.

I learned a ton of random econ theory from this course but really nothing concrete. I felt the lectures were interesting, full of content that needed study, and offered some general insight into her view of economics but did not offer me a economic toolkit to use for future classes...BTW: Bucci is great!

Great professor, she makes you love econ too. I learned alot in the class and knew what I was doing however she gives weekly quizzes that are weighted and bring your grade down. I understood all the material and could teach the class by the end of the quarter but ended up getting a C. Take her to learn not to get a good grade.

She is a good teacher, but you have to study on your own a lot. The midterm and final are difficult. If you dont ask for her help outside of class, you may struggle.

Yeah, She really knows the lecture. BUT BUT the test is extremely hard, she grades hard, stingy on points, not consider student sucess, I read these rate before and give a try. I am so regret to take this class. Tried my best, but still end up with a D. The class average final exam score is 61%. Not recommand, if you want get out of Depaul ASAP.

Great prof!!! Very willing to help outside class. Hard midterm and final, but both curved. Highly recommend Bucci for this class.

Great Prof. Gives great real life examples and her classes are really interesting. Tests are hard but you will still be glad that you took the class.

Class is interesting, not boring at all. She's good at explaining stuff, knows what she's talking about. Don't do the online version of the book. Two exams and homework, exams are tough, but make sure you take good notes and review them from time to time then you are set.

class is definitely not easy and you have to work hard. she is good at explaining, but gives you homework that you will never get a perfect score on. completely approachable.

She is good teacher, but moves through the concepts quickly. You must attend every class and do all homework (which takes hours)to keep up. Very approachable out of class.

Among the most difficult teachers I had, but you learn so much. Very hard grader, but she wants you to learn. Show up to class, take excellent notes, ask questions, and review then you should get a B or C on exams. Homework and assigned papers are arduous and graded hard, but make or break your grade, so do them. Very helpful outside class.

Really nice lady. Talks a mile a minute, the information is difficult and it goes quickly. Homework is graded and dont expect to get a perfect score. She never gives that out. Exams are tough, 30-40 MC and a good 5-8 questions that you need graphs and perfect explanations for. I took he bc I wanted to learn a lot. I dont learn as much as I hoped.

Got to use a sheet of notes on midterm, no reason to not get an A. Homework isnt even that bad. She is funny and very in tune with the class, not to mention a great teacher. Will take her again if I have the chance. Anyone who says she is "too hard" is a straight up coward.

All and all I would say that I'm not very happy with the class. She is a very nice lady and encourages student participation. On the down side, I don't think she teaches the material very well. She goes very fast, sometimes to fast for herself, causing her to make a lot of mistakes during the lecture. Do the homework and you'll pass.

Best Economics teacher at DePaul. I would not even still be an economics major if it wasn't for Prof Bucci. Take her if you care about econ and want to learn. NO MATH INVOLVED!!

Proff Bucci explained everything clearly. Showed terrific examples, she took questions& allowed people to make comments during her lectures. midterm had some tricky questions but if u explained why you chose that answer to her after she gave them back you could get more points. I took this class b4 with another teacher, she was worlds different.

Bucci is a teacher who is really enthusiastic about economics. I think she taught well only thing I have issue with was the homework. Sometimes it pertained to class other times it felt like busy work. Midterm and Final are tough so be prepared. To conclude, tough tests, great teacher, not impossible to get an A but you have to work for it.

Eco 105, Bucci should not be your first choice..to young to honor her complex nature. Those in 305 and above hard work, enthusiasm, and a passion for learning are encouraged The key to a professional economist= the ability to draw graphs and quantify your findings; with the ability to xplain concepts, she teaches this

Bucci has been one of my favorite professors that I've taken. She's really fun and makes the material as interesting as possible. The material can get tough but she loves to help her students so utilize her office hours!

One of the best Econ teachers I have ever had. Took her summer class and am going to take her during the school year. Always available night or day and always willing to help students, cant ask for much more than that. Her lectures are organized and she is very intelligent.

I liked 106 much better than 105, but Bucci was pretty good. I have a good aptitude for Econ, my only complaint is that on the quizzes, the problems were a lot more complicated than what we went over in class. She's a clear teacher in what she wants, and she knows her stuff and has been teaching for a long time.

Bucci is very energetic and passionate about micro. It really made being in class as enjoyable as possible. I would recommend her to anyone, but this class isn't easy. You will have to study difficult material. She was not the best at giving homework back, but posted the answer key every time. Lectures can be all over the place. Note taking is hard

Professor Bucci did a great job teaching all the basic concepts of Micro. But the mid-term and final are though so be sure to STUDY. She does offer extra credit by being present on days of experiments, which is nice. Overall, great class. And the textbook was a lifesaver.

A wonderful and enthusiastic professor; she really tries to get you to understand the material for a difficult to understand class. Gives great examples and power point lectures. However, her midterms are long and more like final exams. She gives two quizzes, homework assignments every week and a midtermfinal. STUDYING is a must for this class!

She's seriously great. Very very nice and enjoyable.

She's a great teacher very helpful and cares about teaching othes; however econ is a tough subject.

Professor Bucci is a great teacher and is SOOO passionate about what she teaches that she makes it interesting. Some people find microeconomics hard but no matter what teacher you take it will be if you are one of those that struggle with new concepts. My suggestion: go to SI Sessions, it not only helped me pass, but I got an A in the class!

She packs every minute with information and works to make class interesting and relevant. One of the best professors at DePaul. She puts in extra effort to ensure students succeed and is willing to help students in whatever way she can.

Gabriella is hands down the best professor I have had at DePaul. Her classes are a challenge, but her enthusiasm for economics inspires you to work hard. She is always willing to go out of her way to help as much as she can. You must take one of her classes whether you are an econ major or not!!

Only downfall would be the large classes she teaches, she's enthusiastic but slightly impersonal. Her lectures are very clear and she has some fun demonstrative activities. I had no previous knowledge of economics before taking this course but she was a great person to introduce it.

She assigns a ton of hw and also grades very tough. She also expects you to talk in class or else gives you a bad grade for participation. When I say she's a tough grader I mean she will very easily give you a C or D even if you have done all the homework, attended every class, etc. I worked really hard only to get a B-

Professor Bucci was probably the best professor I've ever had. She's super nice, helpful, and very clear. We don't need the book, as long as you're in class and take great notes. (Which by the way is not hard because she's very engaging) Definitely recommend!

She is an amazing professor who made me more certain of my love for Economics and my choice to major in it through her passion. I had her class at 8:30 am in the loops and I live in Lincoln Park so the early mornings could have been rough but they weren't because of her enthusiasm and passion for the subject. I looked forward to her classes

Gabriella is a wonderful professor. She treats her students like adults. If you are a serious student and come to her class prepared, she will love you. Weekly assignments are fascinating and done in pairs; choose your partner carefully. Her take-home final is HARD, but she grades fairly generously. Prepare to spend a LOT of time on the term paper.

She's very enthusiastic about the material which kept everyone interested. I took one of her early classes and she definitely kept everyone entertained. Has a break in between class which is great and has us speak amongst ourselves to solve problems. When you ask a question she will not move on until you understand it. Great professor.

She does not offer extra credit

Prof Bucci was very thorough with explanations and highly encouraged coming to see her if you didn't understand concepts. She does give extra credit (for filling out the evaluation and random attendance check.) Great professor. Study your notes for tests!

Definitely can be a tough grader, but Gabriella's one of the best teachers that I've ever had at DePaul.

Awesome Teacher! Great Person! She treats you like an adult. If you aren't good at attending class do not take her, she will remember who wasn't there. The best teacher DePaul has in the economics department. She gives great feedback on homework everyone gets at least an 80 on homework if you try. Took her for both 105&305.

Professor Bucci made economics enjoyable. I would definitely recommend going to class but she is very good at explaining and it is worth your time. She definitely wants all of her students to do well. If you get the chance to take her, you should.

I had never taken an economics course before, but Professor Bucci made the topic easy to understand. Her lectures are pretty interesting and she relates a lot of concepts to the real world. Homework and quizzes are fairly easy, and the midterm and final are very manageable as long as you pay attention in class. Would highly recommend!

Great professor but hard class.

I fell in love with this teacher. To pass you have to attend class but if you do and you take notes its an easy A. Her lectures are so clear and concise and she gives real world and relatable examples that make you enjoy the class. Her class went by so fast and she really seemed to care about her students and the subject. I love her.

Professor Bucci is one of my favorite teachers I've had at DePaul. She tries really hard to make Econ interesting and has really engaging lectures. Note taking is heavy, but it directly prepares you for the test. She's a really thorough teacher and tries her best to make sure all her students understand the material. Fantastic teacher!!

Gabriella is honestly an incredible professor! She is really passionate about what she teaches and does really care for her students. She does want you to understand the concepts and does her best to provides as many examples as possible. I went into the class expecting a boring lecture, and ended up enjoying this class more than most classes.

Professor Bucci is one of the best at DePaul. She is passionate about what she teaches and willing to help you whenever you don't understand. You don't need a textbook but will need to do research outside of class. Although attendance isn't a must she does frown upon that when she notices. Understand her stories related to material and you'll pass.

Principles of economics... Bucci is a very eloquent speaker, passionate about the material, and good at presenting info. She loves when people ask questions and she tries to make sure everyone understands. There are 5 problem sets and they're not very hard, but the exams were kinda difficult. Don't buy the textbook, just watch youtube videos.

Prof Bucci was amazing! She cares about getting to know her students and making class enjoyable. She uses real world examples which helps her students understand the content better. A few online quizzes through D2L and roughly 5 homework problem sets due throughout the quarter.

She's a great professor for policy related topics. She makes you work hard and it's worth it. Not my favorite topic but she really is invested and available outside of class. Get ready to put in some work, but if you're taking this course, you should know that.

If you have the opportunity, you must take a class with Prof Bucci. She is a fabulous teacher who cares. She will make you work hard for your grade, but it is very rewarding in the end. Learned a lot of great information.

Every other wk there is a case study with a group you are assigned. VERY LECTURE HEAVY. You need to budget a good 3-4 hours a week at least in my opinion. Print off the slides and take notes along the way - this is HUGE. She will make you ref. slide #'s on the midterm. Midterm and Final are hard. USE OFFICE HOURS! Graphs in class are key - show up

She is an excellent human being. Very considerate of her students & extremely easy to reach outside the class. Take her in a blink of an eye kinda professor. Get ready to study, but the nicest in the economics department!!

One of the best Professor's I've had during my graduate career. Econ is not my favorite subject matter and she made it easy to consume. She was available & supportive throughout. Print out the lecture slides & take notes from them & study the graphs. Class is case study work, 3 group & then solo midterm & final. She prepares you well! Take her!
