She is a really nice professor, but she became tough after a lot of students got caught cheating in her class. In terms of her class, it is really easy. You have few online homework assignments, 2 midterms and a cumulative final. But don't worry because she gives out extra credit and curves your overall grade. This class is an easy A

Started out the semester as an absolute gem and then got so childish when students were cheating on her tests she lazily pulled off the internet banks. Proceeded to make her own exams and then have errors on them while she just didn't care. I feel bad for the people who take her class from here on out and I'm sorry that cheaters ruined her for you!

Professor Roff is great and patient in class. She makes sure you understand what she is explaining in her lecture and let you ask questions to clarify your doubts. Graphs on BB can be a little messy, but if you pay attention, you will know what she is talking about. One midterm and one final based on the non-credit HWs. So, do the HW to pass class!

Skip class? You won't pass.

She doesn't teach what she is writing on the board. She just writes stuff on the board without explaining it. 3 exams and each exam is 6 written response questions. All you are graded on. She wont go over what you missed last class or respond to any of your questions outside of class in email. It got so bad that half my class started showing up.

I love this class. It's a real college class that makes you think. She asks a lot of questions, and sometimes gives extra points on the test if you answer right so make sure to pay attention. I have an A so far.

If you want an easy class, take this one. there's 8 hw, she goes over then the day of/after it's due. there's alot of notes so attendance is key but she answers alot of questions during & after class. 3 exams & all are based on the hw. If you just use 50% energy to pay attention in class, skim your notes & understand the hw you'll do fine.

It was a pleasure learning from Professor Roff for this class. Whether it was grammatical errors or theory, her knowledge and advice was really impressive. There are a lot of writing assignments but don't procrastinate it. Pick a topic that interests you since its a long assignment consistently being revised. I highly recommend her for this class.

She is the best of two worlds. She allows you to explore with your own creativity but is not afraid to put the hammer down to guarantee you are doing the right thing. She is super sweet, soft-spoken, and a wonderful human being. This class is about writing and Prof. Roff makes sure you do that very well. I totally recommend her for this course.

Avoid her at any cost. She is unfair with the grading. On her other section she gave the whole class free 95 on the final due to she din't show up that day. And on our class she showed up and gave us the final. And graded us based on that. How on earth this is fair. On her other section whole class got free A by not doing anything at all.

Don't take her guys she's unprofessional and kind of seems to be in her own world. She teaches and lectures the whole time but none of it really makes sense. The only way I was able to learn throughout the semester was through other students. These students worded their questions which allowed us to figure out what she was actually trying to say.

Very easy class if you honestly just try. You don't really have to understand what your doing but just memorize the math and graphs. 2 exams were easy plus final which was cumulative so it was only kinda hard bc of that. pop quizzes to make sure you come to class which are worth a good amount and hw assignments that are graded on completion.

It's just a DIFFICULT class, 70% of your grade is based off of 3 difficult tests. 30% with HW which were easy but you NEED TO STUDY. If you aren't ready to put a LOT of effort into studying math and graphs you're not passing. Wouldn't recommend trying to take this with other difficult classes at all otherwise you'll have no free time like at all.

Go to class and take good notes, memorize the graphs and math. Understand how to do the homework, and the exam is basically the homework or an alternate version of the homework that you should be able to answer if you understand the theory. She's a very lenient grader, just make sure you don't skip class like so many others who complained.

**ECON 249** Had this professor for econ stats. Her style of teaching is using the white board, so you need to attend class to understand whats going on. That being said, she is a good teacher. If you understand how to do the problems from class and the review sheet, the exams shouldn't be difficult as its questions you have seen before. Shes fair.

I really liked this class and I really liked this professor. Her lectures were clear, she was always happy to answer questions or go over a topic. The random pop quizzes were super duper easy. You do need to study to do well on the tests but it's all straightforward and she's not trying to trick you.

Professor Roff is a great teacher. She uses the blackboard and doesn't post notes, so attending class is a must. Her exams are fair and based strictly on the lectures and homeworks—no surprises! I took her for ECON 249 and 202 and aced both. If you study well, the exams are super straight forward. She'll curve the final grade if necessary.

Take her if you want to learn, its hard and she posts nothing. HWs and exams are based off her lectures and you have to pay attention. pop quizzes every other week for attendance, tests are hard but similar to hw which shes reviews in class. basically put in work and go to class. If you want an easy A this aint it.
