Took this class in the wintermester. We covered the material in 11 days. Dr. Trask is awesome. I really enjoyed her teaching style. She truly seemed to care if you grasped the material. That is a big change compared to other Econ professors at TCC. She is great. The class was not really difficult. Put forth effort and you will do fine.

Dr. Trask is, let's just say...selective.Your grade will be a prime example of how well she likes you! Don't get me wrong the work is not hard, but if you hate professors who think their higher then God at times and think they are above the rules AVOID TAKING HER CLASS!!!

Your grade in Dr.Trask's class will be highly reflective of if she likes you or not. Participate in class and make sure you don't interrupt her when speaking. Sometimes she allows class to get out an hour or more early. Study for exams! Exams make up 60 percent of grade. Will assign a group project on an industry, and will not help you out.

Trask is an AMAZING teacher! She truly cares about every single one of her students. The reviews based on the fact you pass if she likes you are totally untrue. If you work hard and try, she can tell because it will be reflected by your quiz grades. DEF TAKE HER! She's the best teacher I've ever had. =)

I found the class to be very challenging. Extensive amount of math and formulas. I agree that she favors students that are doing well, but has little to say to those that are not. Lectures every minute of the class period and appears to be in her own world, whether you grasp the material or not. Not very tolerant, patient and not very flexible.

Had Dr. Trask during Fall 2009. She is wonderful. I was afraid of economics and having her as my professor made it all so crystal clear. She helps students understand and asks for questions lots of times. I feel read to take the next economics class because Dr. Trask is so great. She gives lots of homework, but it helps you do better on tests

Dr. Trask is a very good teacher. She clearly knows what she is talking about and is always willing to help out if you are confused. However, I have to agree that your grade in her class is very reflective on how much she likes you. She hated me, and screwed me over on the industry project and I ended up with a C in her class.

I love Dr. T!! She made me love Economics. She is a tough grade but she does it because she wants the best for you. Don't "bs" anything because she will know it and call you out. Also, she will yell at you if you're on your phone. every week there's hw due. 4 exams, huge essay, and a presentation. She loves economics and it shows when she teaches.

This was a slightly above average professor IMO, her discussion board posts were super easy, quizzes were simple, but tests were quite hard. If tests had been like quizzes I'd have gotten an A, but I'm happy with my B overall. She was easily assemble via email.

Prof Trask was a pretty good for online. There 2 exams that are proctored that you MUST study for. Quizzes are not proctored. She offers extra credit that is fairly easy. Discussion boards are pretty straight forward. She gives good comments and feedback on grades.. you will pass if you put in the work!

If you have children, animals, or work to support yourself, do not take this class. She is rude, condescending when you ask her a question if you do not understand, and discouraging from wanting to better yourself with an education. I took her online class & she leaves things open to interpretation then fails you if you get it wrong. uses proctorio

She replies quickly when you email her but overall she isn't a great professor. Her lectures aren't that great and she cancels a lot of classes too so you kind of miss out on stuff and have to teach yourself for test. Be prepared to write 5-7page research paper. Her tests are really hard. Think before you take her, I wouldn't take her again.

I had Dr. Trask Spring 2020. This was a tough time our class moved from face to face into online format because of Covid. Dr. Trask was awesome and then she got really sick and was in the hospital, then we had a substitute, but Dr. Trask still sent us emails. When we went to online Dr. Trask was back and everything moved along great!!!

Dr. Trask sends reminders and has lectures that are narrated. She gives lots of feedback on assignments. She was great!!

I have to take this online because of Covid. Dr. Trask has made this course so organized. She includes videos to help you understand what you read in the textbook. She gives us narrated powerpoints that really help too. I have asked her a bunch of questions and I usually hear back from her in less than an hour. I am so glad I picked her.

She takes no excuses. When one of my assignments was turned in, the work was gone before I could fix it to resubmit it. It wouldn't let me resubmit and when I emailed her the problem and the finished work, she basically said it wasn't her problem.

I liked Dr. Trask, so I am going to be taking ECON 2302 with her. She provided a ton of resources to learn with. The class was easy for me as I took it right after taking AP Macroecomics in high school, but my brother also took her class during the same time I did, and found it to not be easy or hard, a happy medium. I would recommend Dr. Trask!

I took her online witermester class, deadlines are serious and there is extra credit. You do have to read the book but its not very long, there is a four paper essay and discussion boards that both have to have peer reviewed sources. She is very organized and straight to the point so you'll know exactly what you need to do.

One of the worst and hardest Professors I have ever taken. HW are pretty easy and discussion boards too but the tests are something else. If you are not ready to read all the chapters, watch all the videos, take 3 hour long notes of each chapter then this course will be a struggle. Her review isnt even a review. Just take a different Professor

Not very understand of students situations during this pandemic and extremely unhelpful., Homework is easy but you have to teach yourself everything as she only provides textbook pages. Instructions and directions can be very confusing and she can be very unhelpful when you ask for extra clarifications for her directions.

Dr. Trask was a chill prof. Very fast at emailing you back whenever you have a question or problems. Homeworks were pretty easy. Let's use your textbook for exams. The only thing I did not like was the Discussion Posts and the 11 pm deadline. I was sort of lost with some of them but eeh as long as you do all your assignments you will be fine.

Took for an STSC class. She was not flexible, had too many things due on each deadline and was curt and seemed like she didn't care whether we failed or passed. In this world, I would much rather find a human being for a teacher that cares. I would never encourage anyone to take her class.

This is Dr. Trask's first year at TCU and I have enjoyed her as a prof. She makes the content very clear and is quick to respond to emails. She lets you have a full sheet of paper cheat sheet on the four exams, which is super nice because they are 70% of the grade. Put time into understanding the homework and you will be good.
