She is a great teacher. All the best Iris!

she's an "okay" teacher...i like how the lecture notes were organized...understandable...assigments helped boost the grade...but exams are hArD!!

Provides great lecture notes. Study her past exam answer key, she marks very strict according to her answer key. Final easier than Mid term!

Her class notes are pretty clear & helpful!!!

Good prof, always there to help you. Exams maybe a little challenging, may require thinking

It was a very good learning experience, one of my better economics classes. She tried to keep the class fun and interesting.

She is very organized and the lecture notes are easy to follow. She is always willing to help as long as you do your job.

Fantastic prof., Great lecture notes...always there when you need her. One of the best professors who i have come across.

fair exam. make sure you practice the assignment and sample exams, she gave similar questions from the assignment and sample exams in midterm and final.

Fantastic prof! She's fairly young, but knows exactly what she's doing. Class is organized. Expect a highly educational experience. Great!

notes are will organized, explain clearly and easy to understand. with the help of sample midterm and final and assignments, you'll do a good job.

Very good professor. explains everything to the last detail. gives plenty of notes and questions to help students. Extremely helpful meets always wit ha smile and remembers students.

Good notes and fair exam. Very easy to talk to and will try her best to help.

Lecture note is all you need for th course. Notes are well organized and easy to understand.

Iris is easily one of the best profs I've had anywhere. Very clear and concise, and tells students exactly what she expects

Prof Au is perhaps the best economics prof at UTSC and among the best I've ever had. She explains concepts VERY clearly & answers questions with enthusiasm & interest. She relates her own personal stories & experiences with the lessons. Her exams are challenging, but fair. And her notes are SO comprehensive, they're all you need to study from.

By far one of the best profs in all of economics and management! Extremely clear and concise in terms of teaching and how to do good in her class. If everyone actually listened to what she says, the class avg would be through the roof!

Iris is one of the best profs you will come across in your entire university career. She is one of the very few profs that can actually teach very well at this campus. Her notes are all you need to study. As long as you listen in class...guaranteed A in her course

This course material gets me excited since economics is my world. At first I enjoyed the class and her teachings. But the exams screw you up! Her exams are definitely unfair and puts all your studying and interest down the drain. You start doubting yourself. Just to avoid her unfairly tough and irrelevant exam, take Parkinson's class. AVOID

great prof

such a great prof...very organized....u actually learn something from what she teach....Notes are pretty clear

SHe's one of the best profs out there! got a good mark too! whoohoo

Very "Hong Kong" style of teaching

Fun to listen to, but a bit too repetitive...she has a lot of famous one liner quotes! Has a HK style of teaching. Her exams kill because she always changes it from previous years so you actually have to study from the notes, not just previous exams (but she will bell the mark). Other than that, only thing I don't like is how she hates accounting!

She's a very likable professor and her notes are as noted by most, very comprehensive. While, her exams may be tricky, you will definitely learn something from her classes.

Good prof, different teaching style so make sure it works for you. Also the TA you get really matters for this course, because the material needs to be repeated over and over again to sink in, so go to tutorials and make sure you have a good TA, one who explains the whole question and not just writes it down.

Iris is a great prof, she is very helpful and easy, but then the tests have some tricks, and it forces you to study. Find a good TA and will get a good mark.

Great prof and very nice. Exams are fair, and you should be able to get a good mark if you do past exams and tutorial questions on your own

Practice doing problems and memorize the steps to doing them. Did not give enough time for midterm. Overall, above average.

She is a really good prof who wants her students to do well. She takes her time going through new concepts and her lecture notes are well-organized with tons of examples. For the math problems she goes step-by-step. To do well make sure to read her lecture notes, do tutorial questions and past exams. Also she doesn't make use of the textbook.

She is a good prof but her chinese accent is a little hard to understand. Super enthusiastic and passionate. Her notes are WAY better than cleveland's. Do past finals and have a good TA.

One of the best profs at UTSC! She tells you EXACTLY what she expects. Study your lecture notes and do past exam questions and you are good to go! She drills and repeats concepts till it sinks in and I thank her for that b/c i still remember what I learnt in her class! Love her teaching style!

She is fair and very approachable. Her assignments arre practically the old exam questions and her miterm are fair. Overall her accent is an asset to this course. Fun overall.

I took a06 , b06 and c61 with her. She is a very approachable prof and she is very good at teaching materials. I admit that she is hard in finals, but then she makes sures you are prepared for it. Do ALL practice that she gves and you Can pretty much get an A in whatever course she teaches,

I took ECMA06H3 with Iris in my first year and I have never learned anything about Economics prior to the course. She made everything crystal clear and her notes are very well organized with minimal typo/misunderstandings. Since then I took ECMB06 and ECMC61H3 with her again. She is the best professor I have ever met. Iris is willing to offer help.

She's a good prof. Her midterm and final exam were fair. Just be attentive and practice past exams and you're good.

She tries her best to help you and replies to email promptly. She makes sure you are prepared for the exams. The exams are fair and easy as long as you pay attention to what she said in class and practices on all the questions she assigned.

Many people are rating her badly because they didn't do well in the course. Iris has great notes so the textbook isn't really needed, it sort of just rambles on. She does have an accent that if difficult to the ear at first but she still explains concepts clearly. SHe's approachable. DO the practise exams, review q's, and assignments & you'll do ok

She is so popular. MGEA06 was not as hard as I thought, cuz I worked hard. I attended all classes, did all of the tutorial and review questions. Past exams are necessary, most importantly is your understanding. As long as you understand the materials in detail, you will ace it.

I had a really hard time understanding her accent, so did a lot of my friends. She explains the concepts really well with easy examples, but attending lectures only does 40% of the work. Unless you do the past papers (which are really hard, esp finals) you are doomed.

She told you what she is expected from you in class, you need to pay attention. Love the fact that she points out common mistakes that students made in the past. Her notes are good and organized. If you do your work, you will do well in her courses.

She's a good prof, but her accent is kinda hard to understand. But don't worry after a while you get used to it. Going to the lectures is not necessary cause her lectures were posted online. lol, i watched all of them 5 days before the final at 1.5x speed and walked away with an 83.

Tough grader, hard tests and exams. Although she is kinda boring, her lecs r very useful. Be sure to go to lecs, take notes, and do past exams. Truly understand the concepts and remember everything she taught. She'll always have new stuff in the exam that is different than past exams, and she tests you EVERYTHING in the exam!! Amazing Prof!!

The best prof in Economics. Clear notes and they are very useful. She is such a nice lady who is willing to answer all your questions. She is the director of Econimics, very responsible and helpful.

Be ready to hear "Holding all else constant" every day lol. Jokes aside she's really nice and waits until everyone understands the topics.

Best professor in UTSC in my opinion, really patient when explaining concepts. As long as you understand the concepts the tests and exams are quite easy

although, this professor does have an accent, if you actually listen, her lectures are very interesting. the greatest thing about her is that she does the math problems in class in front of the students, which personally really helped me. her tests are VERY EASY. if you just study the lectures and don't read the book at all you will pass.

A good lecturer though with a bit accent but its clear enough for you to understand and catch up. Tests are friendly enough for you if you worked a bit on the course.

Overall, she is a good professor. Although she has an accent which can be difficult to understand, she really explains the concepts very well so her students can understand. In addition, her exams are really fair. If you put in the work, expect the mark you want to receive.

Very nice prof, she makes the lectures really interesting by telling many stories and you may stop her to ask questions anytime. The course was pretty easy as well, just watch the tutorials and study and you'll do well on exams. The midterm was replaceable with final if final scores higher too.

She is nice and explains economic concepts clearly.

Her midterm is okay, but final is so hard.

I am an economics major and have taken MGEA06, MGEC61, MGED63 with Professor Au and I would highly recommend enrolling in any of the courses she instructs. She makes the course content very interesting, her instructions are clear and she genuinely cares about her students. Her exams are fair and she grades easy as well.

She really gives high-quality lectures, explain all steps and details carefully. Strongly recommend any courses she teaches

The course is fine and she replies to email quickly. Watch the lectures and read the text, you should be fine. The exam is fair and doable as long as you catch up with the materials and do past papers. Also, lots of TA hours.

Professor Au is one of the more caring and knowledgeable profs I have had at UTSC. She does her best to explain every part of the lesson and gives us plenty of examples to ensure that we understand the content. Exams can be slightly difficult but they are not unfair. Workload is also fair

Nice prof in general. Her lectures are detailed with examples, and she provides clear notes for you to follow. Exams are fair and lecture-oriented. Sometimes she's a bit slow in terms of lecturing (for me), but I would recommend taking her course.

Her lectures, tutorials and live lectures got me high grades even if I had no prior knowledge of Econ until I come here. They are organized and there's no way you don't do well if you study much from them. Her response rate is quick. The textbook is super good to enhance understanding. And I must say the final was very hard to get high marks.

Keeping all things constant, the high quality of the lectures lead to a rise in the total factor of productivity of students, which then increased the long-term knowledge growth curve, leading to the rise in work output per student, which resulted in high grades. The rise in work output caused a grade inflationary gap.

Iris is a good professor, she goes over everything clearly and slowly. She is willing to help students and is a very hard-working professor. If you watch the lectures and try hard to understand the stuff every week, you would be fine and I suggest doing as many past exams as you can before the final and midterm.

Professor was very helpful during office hours and gave very relevant feedback when asked questions about practise questions and how to do projects well. Despite the fact that I did very poorly in previous economics classes, the professor helped me strengthen that knowledge and allowed me to understand the concepts for her class very well.

She always explains the concepts clearly. Her lectures are useful, and she gives her pdf notes to students which helps me to review the exams. I love her.

Iris is a nice professor and her lecture is clear. However her exams is very hard and conprehensive. You can only finish every past exams in order to face every difficulties in the exam.

I enjoyed every bit of MGED63 last semester, including the time in class, the time to write your final research paper, and the group presentation. Iris super caring and I missed the good days taking her lectures. I highly recommend students taking MGEC61 and getting into MGED63, you won't find another prof like her in Economics.

Iris is very organized and explains concepts clearly. She responds to any emails she gets and she replies fast. Very willing to help others learn. the course is very content heavy so I suggest studying the weekly material every week and not studying them all at once before exams

The course was fine and exam was fair if you attended the lectures and worked on the assignments. She taught you how to work on the problems during lectures, and I found them helpful. However, very few people showed up for classes.

Iris has structured MGEA06 so that anyone can succeed if they really tried. Her pre-lecture videos help with getting familiar with the content and her lectures are practicing questions that would be on the exams. Her exams are fair. Practice past exams if you want to do well in this class.

Nice Prof, extremely professional, best understanding. You need to be very familiar with the content otherwise you cannot finish the exam. Prof would give you the past exam from 2014-2019. If you try your best, all of you are available to get 4.0.

Assignments are a freebie. Midterms and Final exams are similar to the recent past papers she gives to practice. But know that even though the questions are similar, the course gets more challenging as you go on. Overall, exams are challenging but fair. She is also a caring and a nice prof.

amazing professor

best professor ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy A+ Love professor Au

Iris structures the class well - her pre-lecture videos and practice questions are super helpful. While the exams are challenging, using unstuck study alongside past exams can really pay off.

Good class, helpful and interesting lectures. Professor is amazing, very kind and helpful.

Explains the subject well and has good lectures. Although the prelectures and lectures are long and the exams are difficult but heavily based off past exams

Lectures are long but take your time to fully understand each word she is saying - it clears up concepts heavily to the point where pre-recorded + textbook isn't really needed. Brings such nice energy to the class that it makes you want to learn. Keep an open mind and this class will bring you a breath of fresh air whether you like econ or not!

Great professor—very willing to help and does an excellent job teaching. That said, the content is very heavy. While it may feel unfair and challenging at times, it's ultimately up to you to stay on track.

One of the best and nicest professors at UTSC. Ensure you do not fall behind because it will be very hard to catch back up. Watch all pre-recorded lectures, attend all lectures, and do EVERY SINGLE past paper and ensure you actually understand what is happening. Easiest 4.0, just time consuming. Some of the best TAs as well.

Her final exam was a little tricky and difficult, compared to the practice. But she curved, a lot. I remembered was 8 marks in midterm but not sure for the final. Anyway, you can solve the most of questions if u learned slides and finished all the past exam papers, and she is really good at curving.
