She doesn't know how to teach economics everyone in my class is failing and she knows that. She won't allow anyone to tell her to change her tests. Her tests are not relevant to her teaching. Please don't take Economics 101 with her, you will really regret it and end up dropping her class. Why waste time and money. Be smart, don't take her.

Great professor. Explains things well. Textbook is never used in class, but I strongly recommend you read it, or else you will have trouble understanding. Those who missed class or were late often struggled in class, especially when they just happened to miss a difficult topic and then struggle to catch up. Show up, read, do the work, and it's easy

Worst experience with an online class I have ever had. She claimed all assignments were due on sunday, but then on monday she would add assignments that were due on wednesday... so if you don't check Aplia every day you miss assignments without even knowing it. Also the Aplia assignments are not helpful study aids for the quizzes. DON'T TAKE HER

Most pretencious professor I have ever had. Puts herself on a pedestal and makes you feel dumb for asking questions when she responds in a passive aggressive manor. I was always sure to give her respect and never received it in return. I corrected her mistake on assignment once and she sent a very snarky email back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
