alot of notes, but she makes the class very easy

To be honest, i rarely go to class, since i find economics really boring. but i do occasionally go, and hannah seems to be a very nice person. she throws bonus questions onto tests relating to some random anecdote she has told the class in the last month. out of 3 tests, you only keep the best 3. easy marks. dont settle for any of the other profs.

Easy class, and its in part of how she teaches it. Only 2/3 tests are kept and the bonus questions are free marks. The class can be boring but her examples are clear and consise.

very good instructor

I love this prof. Definetly one of the best profs at mac.

Amazing teacher, makes a boring subject very interesting. Very clear and concise with examples, highly recommended.

Her class is really boring like its my least favorite one to go to, but the fact that her notes are so detailed and her test and exam are entirely based on them, it makes up for it. Shes a good prof to have particularily for such a boring class lol

overall a great teacher. she makes the class enjoyable with great examples that the students can relate to. she also fills us in on her social life.

i suck at math, but she made it okay. interesting for a boring subject. i'm sure she's engaging if you get math too.. overall a pretty good prof.

Great prof. Her lectures are detailed and she makes stats interesting. She is full of life so even though the topics can get boring, she tries to make it better.

Painfully boring class. Only because the material was awful. She's very friendly and approachable and is really dedicated to helping everyone succeed. Her powerpoints are AWESOME, you won't need the text at all.

Very straight forward prof. She won't ruin you. Excellent. Her test are to the point. Very helpful.

Really nice teacher. The subject itself is boring, but she tries to make it fun and has a good sense of humour!

I found her dull, but a 'good' professor. In order to do well in her tests and exam, you need to apply yourself--not just memorizing. For this course, it's not worth going to the lectures because the podcasts and her slides are all you need. The only reason to attend her classes is to get the answers for those bonus questions.

Good teacher

One of the best profs i had this year. Definetly recommened going to class [although you dont really need to] - but i would go since she really makes the topics interesting. take this class if u are a visual learner and are good with basic math. tests are multiple choice, an easy doublt digit, but have to put in some extra effort to get that 12.

If you want to go class and teach then forget about that with this proff.She just read power point slide.Doesn't explain anything.Only this gud about this course is it was so easy.That's why we got marks.Not because she tough us

Nice Prof, extremely easy. Do not need to go to class, nor buy the textbook. Just get her lecture notes and study them for the tests and the final. She loves them Packers too.

she basically reads off the slides . extremely boring class - go if u like to waste time. her notes are excellent however - dont buy the textbook - memorize her notes and u'll get that A+. she cancelled a lot of the classes so that she can watch her football team play...

i seriously love this prof. she is amazing!

genuinely a nice person who enjoys teaching - you really dont need to go to class; her lecture notes are VERY good. do the assignments online as theyre really similar to her tests.

best prof of my first semester!

great course and teacher, but interest is very low :(

She is an excellent prof. She always explain clearly.

Hands down:the easiest course you will get in university! nice prof, explains stuff well, lectures and podcasts posted online, textbook isn't even required. the one class i can study 6 hours before the test and make an 80+

shes cool

You don't need the textbook, read her powerpoints. Very easy prof, lets you out early. Not for everyone though: she loves sports/football, and paraphrases from her powerpoints. Many people don't go to classes and still do really well. Personally I didn't like her because she didn't make econ interesting. (and it's boring to begin with)

Great Prof, especially her Sports Econ class, shes a huge sports fan so she made it interesting, her tests were easy, but still allowed you to learn and gain knowledge from the course, well organized, and dont have to spend 100$ on textbooks

A little too slow

great teacher - took her awesome slides for granted until i had second sem ECON with O'Shaughnessy (spelling?) shes a great speaker, has great notes, and is pretty much great all around :)

an amazing prof! one of my fav. so far..shez really clear with what shez saying..her quizzes help to stay on task..and shez really nice :D

Favourite teacher ever

Good lecturer, posts all notes and podcasts online. Teaches right from slides, so don't feel bad about missing a class. Textbook is a waste, exam questions taken from Avenue, so focus on those, and you're guaranteed at least an 80. Would recommend.

Great prof, explains things well, no need for the textbook, has random bonus questions on midterms and exams about personal things about her which she'll randomly bring up in class. (Like favourite football team, what her cat's names are, does she have a cow named after her). Little quirky, but she's good.

Very nice and informative, gives a lot of bonus marks for the tests. The midterms were relatively easy but the exam was super hard!

Very detailed notes, can be boring at times but generous in giving examples and bonuses

her classes was clear and straightforward. tests and exams all have bonus questions. easy to get high marks.

Holmes is such a great professor! Although she teaches from the slides, I don't recommend skipping class because she explains it in a way that you'll remember when you go to study. The course is relatively easy but I wouldn't say it's a "bird" course because you do need to do work and study.

good prof, easy course

I really don't know how anybody can think this class is difficult. As somebody who is in the faculty of science and who definitely didn't have hot marks in first year, I can definitely say this is the easiest course I've ever taken. Holmes gives tons of bonus marks and her tests are close to identical to the previous tests she posts. Easy 11-12.

One of the best profs ever! She makes university/class much easier for everyone and gives you so many bonus marks, you can easily get an 11 or 12 :) highly suggest taking a course with her

Great prof, teaches well.

This class was so easy, basic math and common sense could get you through. Her lectures were very slow moving though

Super easy course, common sense and simple math will get you through. Don't buy the textbook, mine is still in the plastic. Slow lectures but very thorough. Never went to class, watched the podcasts (exact same as lectures) and went into the final with 100.

Almost so easy it gets boring.. hard to take the class seriously. She is a lovely woman but not professional - depends on the student pretty much. Still a generally easy course - PODCASTS!

Took 2G03 in the summer, she provides amazing notes along with practice tests and reviews along with answers. Actual exams are twice as hard as she tries to use more confusing equations. Study and you will get at least a 7. Should not be compared with Econ 1B03 as the material is much harder. Has a lot of math. Does not have podcasts. Good luck!

Good students will find it impossible not to get a 12 in her class. She's a clear lecturer and very helpful

Hannah Holmes is a great prof. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities. If you actually read the slides before the tests and do the practice she gives, you'll get a good mark in the course.

2 midterms, and an exam - that's it exam was non-cumulative! (its basically another midterm) "lectures have all the required info for midterms/exams" - the textbook is not a necessity (although it may be helpful) posts all lectures online the day after! (so you can choose when you listen to the lecture)

God bless Holmes

Very straightforward professor, Don't need the textbook, Gives you clear examples which consist of simple math. If you review these examples, keep up with her lectures to some degree, easy 12. She gives tons of bonus marks, and midterms and exams are fairly easy !

Nicest prof ever! As long as you listen to her lectures and do some practice problems you should be fine.

Super fun course, Prof. Holmes is a great instructor. You don't even need to attend lectures because she puts all the videos of concepts you need to learn online!! And If you're too lazy to sit through all the videos, simply getting the textbook and reading it nets you a high grade. She also scales tests!!! 10/10 would take again

Gave a lot of bonus opportunities, easy course if you study and do practice questions and you don't even have to attend lectures everything is posted online.

One of the best profs I had so far. Lectures and content taught and class were straight to the point. Professeur Holmes is very organized and professional and she also gave out numerous bonus oppurtunities to boost your mark.

The easiest prof for ECON 1B03. Very generous with mark calculations. If you get this prof and don't get a 90, you're doing something wrong.

Very very friendly! Not only is she a great teacher, she makes it very easy to succeed. Plus, she gets right down to the basics, and doesn't bore you with the details. This makes her lectures and videos very easy to follow.

Easy A, tests are pretty easy

Unbelievably easy course! Well taught, not boring - contrary to what others say! Tests are really easy and fun to write

Podcasts are detailed

Didn't go to class and just studied like crazy before midterms and finals. The bonus's she gave out were great.

amazing prof that keeps things simple and organized. even if u dont go to class just read the notes and youll be golden. gem of a prof

watch out for the exam, you have been warned

The best course and prof to take as an elective. She is amazing because of how organized she makes the course. I got a good mark without going to any lectures and studying only when the test comes.

Her class was fairly easy, as long as you did the reading you were fine for all assessments. She's a nice person who cares about her students, even though lectures would be boring sometimes, overall the class was good.

The course was fairly easy, partly because Dr. Holmes taught very clearly everything needed to know to do well. Half of the course is online which makes the learning even easier

Two tests and a final. Tests are super easy and can be studied for the night before. Really just look at the practice tests she provides as its almost the same thing. Never had to use the textbook until the final where the concepts got a little tricky. Don't have to attend lectures either, her videos have everything you need to do well. Easy A

Good Prof that provides relevant material to teach online where you can rely on it to prepare the midterms, which are fair tests. Need to keep up of her pre-tests to prepare, it should not be getting bad grade.

The sweetest professor at Mac. You do not have to go to her lectures, because she posts podcasts and slides with/without audio. Tries her best to help people do well in her class by giving us the option to do pre-tests to bring down the weight of the exams. Overall great prof, and I would definitely take a class with her again.

Hannah Holmes is a great prof ! I respect her grind and I love how her grading and testing criteria is crystal clear. You're never asked anything that is surprising or was not covered. I love how the her course was organized and respect how kind she was to her students. You don't really have to go to class though since everything is online.

Professor Homles is a gem! She loves teaching economics and hopes that her students enjoy the subject as much as she does. This is a blended course so most learning is done online while the lectures give you opportunities to practice concepts and ask Prof. Holmes questions. Also, she wrote the textbook and donates all proceeds to charity :)

I had here for econ 1b03 her test are easy As if you review slides and do the workshops! She well help you if you ask for it and responds in pretty quickly

took her class for winter 2020, due to the covid 19, we did 2 inperson tests and one online final exam, test1 is easy, test 2 is harder, for online final exam is very easy cuz you are allowed to use textbook, for this class u need to buy her textbook to do the online homework, overall nice prof

Professor Holmes is very kind and understanding! She gives you all the tools necessary to succeed in this course and her modules and podcasts are excellent. Sure, the MC quizzes online have some tricky questions but overall not as bad as everyone else claims. I think she is an excellent prof and it is very very doable to 12 this course.

Professor Holmes is a GEM! She is such a kind person and a great professor her class is super interesting and very easy to succeed in. Please don't listen to these other nasty reviews people have left, they are false. TAKE THIS CLASS ITS AMAZING AND PROFESSOR HOLMES IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Despite what everyone else has been saying, I must say so myself that the course is easy if you put effort into it or at the very least, minimal effort. The videos were extremely informative and was in fact the only thing I used to pass the course also without studying for the quizzes.

While reading through the reviews, it seems a lot of people ended up having a hard time with microeconomics this semester. I didn't find that was the case. I didn't really study for the quizzes. I read the textbook, watched the videos, and then did well on all the quizzes. I think it was an easy 12, and I found Professor Holmes to be reasonable.

For people who wants to do homework: can you just imagine that the mc question u spend 10 sec on is worth the same mark with the question u spend 10 minutes calculating. Her lectures are not motivating, u can basically read the book and pass the course. The practice problem has nothing to do with the MC quizzes and TF quizzes. Easy course though.

Professor Holmes is reasonable. Honestly as long as you put effort into Econ and study for it, do the practice questions and read textbook, go to Professor Gajics office hour or email professor Holmes, you will be fine! Modules were ok, not the best but definitely bearable since the time is pretty short.

You can tell she's really interested in what she talks about, definitely not super fun asynchronous lectures but really easy to do well in the course if you have the textbook.

excellent

great professor

she is so nice and friendly, i really suggest you guys take her class

This course was online in the form of pre-recorded videos so can't speak to the in person aspect. In the videos, she does a good job of explaining the content and is easy to understand. The only knock is the chapter quiz's were only available for a limited time on a specific day so there's not much flexibility for people who are busy that day.

I don't know why people are complaining yes here test are harder but its online open book no webcam. You need to read the material and understand if you have questions you can email and she will reply. Yes she is being lazy with no videos however its possible to do good in the course if you try. I took 2k03 I don't know why its not an option

A professor who really cares about your academic performance

Hanna Holmes is one of the kindest, most considerate professor I have ever had. I would take this course over and over and over again if I could.

She truly pushed me to do my best each and every day. She is a woman that deserves the utmost respect. It is my greatest regret that this course did not come into my life earlier and that's because of Dr. Holmes. She emotionally saved me from a burning building and gave my friend her left kidney.

She was pretty chill. Had her first sem. Almost all learning was done with her textbook (which wasn't very long) and her videos which she goes over slides. If you follow that you should be good.

The best professor in the world.
