She's hot in an old, nerdy, asian type of way. She has a thick accent and will pick on you if you sit in the front of her class. You can tell she likes teaching but she obviously has a lot on her plate because her TA seems to do most of her work outside of her class. She's okay - and it could be a lot worse from what I hear about the ECON dept.

Great teacher! Anything she puts on the test she goes over thoroughly in class. Attendance not required, but you'll need her notes, I didn't buy the book and didn't need it-just studied her notes. She'll teach you everything you need to know. 3 midterms, 1 final- not cumulative unless you miss a midterm. HW only counts as extra points.

Prof Tseng is a pretty challenging professor. I did not really enjoy her lectures as they're really fast paced and she doesn't go into too much detail. The class is also pretty hard because it is graded on 4 Mid-Terms and an optional final and the 4 Mid-Terms are pretty hard. Class averages were always awful. I might try to find another professor.

This class can be easy if you put in the work. Do the readings before each class. Pay attention during her lectures and go over your notes after. I recommend printing out the notes she posts on Canvas. Make sure to do the extra credit practice questions which will be helpful as they are similar to the actual test.

One of the best professors in the Belk college of Business. I've had for three different classes. She makes things incredibly clear, and the tests almost perfectly match the in-class work and homework for most of her classes.

She was pretty good. Go to class and pay attention to the lectures. She takes attendance 20 times at random and gives in-class extra credit practice for each chapter which really helps!! Her lectures breaks things down pretty well and she's funny, but a little intimidating. Biggest downside: the only grades are tests, extra credit, and attendance.

Professor Tseng is the BEST professor I've ever had at UNCC. It is lecture heavy but her lectures are entertaining as she is funny and nice to listen to. She also gives extra credit assignments in class so definitely go to class. Her tests are THE example of what a GREAT test should look like as they DIRECTLY correlate to what we cover in class.

I had her online and if you pay attention to her videos and take notes you'll do great. She posts weekly extra credit quizzes which will not only raise your grade but are also good practice for the exams. No textbook needed, just watched her videos. No homework, just exams and final exam was optional (if you want a grade replaced).

I don't get why this professors RMP rating is so high. In her ECON3125 class she doesn't explain the concepts she's throwing on the board which leads many students to be confused. About a fifth of the students within my session withdrawal out because of her terrible teaching style. My advice is to AVOID her 3125 class and take someone else.

There's no homework or anything else to help your grade. It's also hard to be able to practice and understand the math. She also teaches very fast. Half my class withdrew after the first exam.

Professor Tseng is a good and funny person, but her classes need some work. Only 3 exams with limited extra credit goes toward your grade. Her lectures move too fast and there is limited time to complete the example questions. Ive been to every class and took notes every time and still underperform on the hard exams.
