very nice.. the exams are short answers but very easy~! i studied for an hour and i did better than good
very funny. right from canada laughs alot and her examples are always hilarious.
she's such a good and easy teacher, i wish she would have taught 202 last semester
Great prof. She is very goofy, easy class. Gives great review before each test. Easy A
Canadian...jokes arent very funny
A good prof, kinda cute, made the material easy, and so were the tests
Good Profesor, Good Review, Funny Class
E-a-asy class. Go to class, no doubt you will get an A. She cares if you care.
Really nice...pretty cool..
She is a great professor. She's so excited about statistics it's scary! Her excitement translates into an ease of learning. I would take her over any professor I have in grad school.
material is hard.. but she makes it fun - bottom line.. she loves economics so it doesnt make the classes so bad - Super Canadian, EH!
Great professor! She is fun to listen to, and gives help when needed. Very easy course to get through- I highly reccommend her!
great energy! Sometimes find myself daydreaming though because she's the most attractive teacher I've had.
Great teacher to have and listen to. She is so wonderful, explains evrything well and her tests are straight forward. I would recommend her for any introduction class.
Her enthusiasm makes the class fun! She is a great professor and her notes are right from the book! She really loves teaching. I HIGHLY recommed her!
Very clear on subject material
She's awesome!!! Take this course with her...
This woman is nuts.
Great teacher. clear, understandable lectures. All tests are short answer but she lets you know what to study to perpare for tests. Awesome class
very opinionated. test come straight from notes and textbook. very passionate teacher. tests are pretty easy as long as you take good notes. save all notes because the final is cumulative. overall very spunky teacher, knows a lot
Great Teacher. Makes class very interesting, very clear, easy A, attendance not mandatory but go to class, gives review sheets for test, final IS cumulative but easy, learned alot def take!also she is canadian eh
great professor, easy class and you will learn a lot.
Love her...She has such a modern way of teaching. You can take what you learn in this class and apply it to everything. Always stay involve with her students, keeps us inform about job opportunities. 3 exam 35-50 m/c format and cumulative final but gives you review sheets before every exam :)
Great class. ECO304 and FIN314 are pretty much the same class so whichever class you take 2nd will be easier. She's a post Keynesian and she'll let you know, but that's her only flaw. other than that she probably one of the better teachers i've had
Very knowledgable and helpful. If your a tenth away from the next letter grade up will not round up grades or reply to your e-mail stated why.
Very Canadian. Strange sense of humor and noticeably bad teeth. I personally can't stand the sight of her. Not to be recommended...
I dont know what the person below me is talking about. She makes the class fun and enjoyable. She has a great sense of humor and is a beautiful person!
easy class, do not need the textbook. just come to class to get the notes because she does not post them online.
She is the worst teacher I have had at Buffalo State. She only had 3 exams worth 60% and a final worth 40% which is cumulative over 5 chapters. She gives out study guides, but they do not help. Our exam 3 class average was a 57 and she refused to give a curve and even admitted that the test was unfair. She is not funny and very mean. STAY AWAY
easy class. 4 tests. no homework. don't buy the text book because she doesn't use it. go to class and take notes. her test questions are exactly from her notes.
Nice lady who likes her job. I'd say take her class. Not too hard, she does everything by lecture. If your sick she will ask you to leave in her polite canadian way. Makes class interesting. She will lend you her book or calculator.
best teacher i have ever had. her tests are so easy if you just go over the review sheets she gives you and go to class. textbook is not needed. no homework. definitely take her class to get a good grade
Dr. LeClaire will make your life easy if you are a good student. If you are taking a class to get a good grade, this may be a good one. She appreciates people who enjoy economics as much as she does. It is all lectures, but she engages you will activities you will remember when test time comes. Really enjoyed the class.
Dr. Leclaire was awesome. She made class interesting. She was very funny. No homework, tests weren't hard, just have to study what she puts on the review sheet. Would def recommend taking this class.
Econometrics..... Easy A nuff said....
She is crazy, but in a good way! take this class!!!
nice teacher
Dr. Leclaire is the best teacher I've had at Buffalo State. She is a nice person and always makes the class laugh. This class is also an easy A.
She is incredibly nice and helpful. The class itself could be much more indepth. The best way to describe the class is teaches to the test
very clear. If you go to class decent grade
Great professor, only halfway into the semester and I love her already. Would recommend to anyone interested in economics and learning it.
Great professor! made the class easy so everyone could get it but you still learn a lot. She knows what shes talking about. Review sheets before each test and the final is all tests put together plus plus a couple questions from the recently covered stuff. She is very funny and very nice. Great professor! I highly recommend her!
Best teacher I've had at Buff State. Very interesting class and she is super funny and energetic. Tests are fairly easy if you pay attention in class. Highly recommend taking Mrs.LeClaire's courses!
Dr. Leclaire is honestly the best professor ever. She's so funny and she gets the information across clearly. There's no homework, the material is straight forward, and it's a pleasure to be there. She's very pretty as well.
Very interesting class and she is kind of funny. Tests are fairly easy if you pay attention in class. Defiantly take this class with her!
GREAT Professor. She is so funny and makes class fun. As long as you go to class and take notes you will do good on her tests. TAKE HER CLASS!!!
I read the book, attend and pay attention in class, and take about 10 minutes to study the night before class and haven't gotten lower than a 92 on any of the tests. I've never seen a teacher get so much participation from a lecture hall--she's very passionate about economics and is a great teacher. This is one of my all time favorite classes
I enjoyed taking her class. Her lectures are through power points and can get pretty long. You have to pay attention and show up to really understand the information and get a good grade in her class. Her goofy personality makes the class enjoyable and often lets the class out early.
Best professor at Buff State, hands down. Fun and energetic, honestly makes my life more enjoyable. Take a class with her!
Amazing teacher and the class is very easy if you show up. The class is all tests, but the study guides she gives beforehand has all the answers, so you don't even need the book. She took attendance, but I don't think it counts against you, also gives out a chance for extra credit. Final exam is cumulative, but questions come from past exams.
I bought a $200 book and a $20 app & didn't use them at all! Don't buy them! It's a class where if you show up and pay attentiontake notes from the powerpoint you don't need to put in hardly any work outside of class. Her tests are composed of all topics discussed in class and nothing to do with the book. Tests are super easy if you go to class
Probably the best teacher ive had thus far at the college level. She was the reason i passed econometrics. Very helpful and easy to get along with. Also not bad looking which helps
Thought this class would be easy. IT WAS NOT. Talks WAAAAAY too much about her personal life. Get out of class early every day but I'd rather stay longer to be actually taught. Tests are hard. Short but extremely tough. Study hard for these because your teaching yourself. Powerpoint notes arent that helpful. She is too distracted & need to focus.
Easy, Fun class. You dont need a textbook to pass just take notes and dont miss class
4 tests is the only grade. She's so funny and full of herself, but she makes economics fun and light material. She has an accent, but totally understandable! Textbook is completely unnecessary. I opened it one time and didn't even find what i needed. Tests will be tough if you don't pay attention, or take notes in class.
Work is all tests which are a bit difficult but she will curve the grades if the class is struggling, just show up and listen to lectures or at the very least read the text book. She is funny and personable so lectures aren't a total bore.
She only a few tests but they're HARD. She gives you a study guide to help but the wording of the questions can be difficult on the actual test. Although tests were tough she gives a curve if the entire class didn't do too well. She made the class fun and I would like to have her again in the future.
Greatest teacher in the department and probably the whole campus. I do not believe she will be doing this class for awhile, pretty sure she is moving to Statistics, but if you are wondering about taking that with her, DO IT!! You would be crazy not to.
One of the best teachers at Buffalo State
One of the best professors at Buffalo State. Don't take her class for granted!
Take this class with Prof Leclaire! There are four easy exams and nothing else. She will give you a list of books. Don't buy them. She's funny and easy to listen to.
Makes the class interesting. The exams are difficult. Make sure you take good notes and show up to class. You don't need the textbook.
Lectures are straight forward and clear. Her power points are not available to the public so make sure you take notes in class. Pay attention to her lectures, study your notes and you will be fine.
She does not post her power points online, so make sure you pay attention in her class and take notes.
she is the ideal professor. wonderful and helpful always. tests are not bad and there is only 4 of them and no homework. she says you need the textbook but if you ust go to class then you don't.
Amazing Professor!! very inspirational.
Great class! She made macroeconomics interesting, and she's entertaining. Has a little bit of a French accent. You really don't need the bookeverything on the tests is in the lectures. But show up to every class and take good notes. Tests are a little hard, but study notes/review sheet a little and you'll be fine.
She does lecture and doesn't put it on blackboard. You really don't need the book or dictionary, waste of money. Can pass every test without it and just doing notes from lecture. 3 tests, super fun and funny. Perfect Professor would recommend
In all honesty I thought she was going to be a great professor based off of rate my professor, which is the reason why I chose her. But all she does is grade you off test 4 test that are short but tough. While lecturing she goes on and on about her personal life which takes away from us learning content. And gives no HW to help boost our grades
Professor Leclaire is an amazing professor. She knows everything about Macro, because she was taught by the student of the founder. She does speak about her family, but still moves as planed. 4 test all your grade. Offers extra credits 5% of the full grade. She is really nice and humble as a person. Highly recommend her to anyone taking Macro
I did not like that we did not receive homework and only had one extra credit assignment thats only 5% towards the final which is 40% of your grade. If you are good in the topic you should be okay, but if not I do not recommend this professor because she teaches as if we are supposed to actomatically know what shes talking about.
She's hilarious and a great professor. I hadn't took a math course in 7 years and she was able to explain it so well that I grasped everything and passed with an A.
She made statistics an easy A! Had her for 2 classes now, she says you need the textbook but I didn't open it the entire semester because everything on the test is in the lecture. She explains things nice and slow, reviews past material at beginning of each class. Tests are easy if you just study a little.
Gives great examples
One of the best professor in buffalo state. Dont hesitate to take any class with here. 3 multiple choices exams and 1 final exams. For the final exam LITERALLY study from the previous 3 tests and you will exactly guarantee 80 percent in the final. and the rest 20 percent will be the new materials after the 3 exam. SHE MAKES EVERYTHING EASY!!!!!!!!
Talks way too much about her personal life. Creepy laugh. Takes attendance in a very large classroom which eats up time. You don't need the dictionary until you get to more advanced economics. You could get an A just reading the textbook, her lectures are almost useless.
Awesome Personality! Loved her class, was hoping to be able to have her class again this semester. Don't waste your time in the textbook. Never used them once, take her notes in class and follow her instructions you will pass. Very passionate about Economics.
Doesn't give too much homework and she's kinda corny sometimes but she's really nice and her lectures are easy to understand. You need the textbook in order to study for the exams.
Amazing professor! Makes math understandable and easy even if youre not good at it. No homework, just studying before tests. Dont buy the textbook, you dont need it. Offers 5% extra credit on top of your final grade. She also loves to joke around a lot.
Dr. Leclaire is hilarious, engaging and truly cares about her students. She was very accommodating throughout this whole COVID mess and continued to teach weekly. You're only graded on tests. Go to the lecture, take notes and pay attention and you'll be fine. Her lectures aren't boring at all. I didn't buy any of the books and I still did well
I would highly recommend this professor. She knows her economics and its a very interesting class. Even with the online learning she still managed to have great class discussions. As long as you keep up with the classes and study for exam its pretty much an easy grade. No homework ever and extra credit. I love professor leclaire!!
Incredibly nice and helpful. Only thing I can complain about is, she doesn't have any homework so all grades are based off tests, but she also does have good review before it. If lectures are attended and good notes are taken you should get a good grade. (DON'T BUY DICTIONARIES unless you're going to continue with economics)
Need to attend lectures if you wish to pass. Only had 3 tests and a final for the course.
For being an Economics professor, doesn't take herself too seriously. Relatable and accessible, even if the course material is challenging (not a bad thing in Econ). Attendance optional, no textbook usage. Tests can be difficult. Lectures have some humor and good pace. Would take again, but she only tends to teach lower-division courses.
Professor is simply amazing. I took her for Eco 201 and I will say that her class was highly enjoyable. Shes just so full of life. You basically show up and take notes and get tested 4 times during the entire semester. Yes 4 times! The test come directly from her PowerPoints so all you have to do is study and pass.
LOVED her, honestly. The class was super easy (there is math obvi), I loved her energy. I wish I didn't get the textbook though, it was kind of a waste of money since I haven't touched it once. If you are having trouble, she will go over anything you'd like. I really liked that about her :)
Fantastic professor. I took her again for the upcoming Fall semester (going out of my way to take her course over another professor even though it would be more convenient the other way) because she was so great the first time I took her. Sweet, fun, caring, uplifting. You'll never fall asleep or feel bored.
She encourage you to participate in class asking your opinion in different topics discussed in class, her presentation are really important for tests and she resume easily the books chapters in her presentation.
This class was essentially just taking notes from her lectures and using it to prepare for our tests which are clearly stated when they are. She's a super smart woman Its just important to prepare for the tests since there is no homework. Go to her extra credit opportunities because they are worth it and beneficial.
Professor Leclair is amazing! she provides and goes over study guides before each test, goes over the test once it is done, does have slideshows every class; she is very proud of herself and who she has become and has made it to where she can humbly brag, but in a funny way. Highly recommend!
Professor Leclaire is the best professor I have had. She is so personable and really wants you to understand the material. She only gives three tests, and if you study you will pass. You can see her love for economics in her lectures, and she makes economics fun! I recommend you take at least one class with her!
Literally my favorite Professor at Buffalo State University. She gives quick and amazing lectures and all you really need to do is take notes from the powerpoint slides and use it to help you for the tests.
She is one of the best professors i've had so far. She takes a lot of tests but also they are worth it.
This is only my first semester here, after transferring from a community college, and already I feel like she'll end up as one of my favorite professors. You can tell that she wants whoever takes her classes to be as interested in the material as she is. The class is pretty easy, three tests and taking notes will nearly guarantee that you do well.
Dr. Leclaire is very eccentric and outgoing but in a mostly positive way. She is very knowledgeable but at times does not simplify the material enough. She gives study guides but only with topics, not specific information. She speaks and moves very quickly in lectures, so take quick notes. A very nice person though, and was a pleasure to know.
The best professor that buffalo state has.
I dont know how to explain her better. First I got really good knowldge about subject and will remember it. Second she's very kind, very accessible outside of the class, and always giving you additional information. Very caring, but you need to study to pass this class. Tests are heavy but there are always outlines. BEST OF THE BEST. TAKE HER CLASS
She's an American Hero. One of, maybe the best, professor I've ever had. She might change your life
The math for the course isn't bad but you should definitely practice. The test are all multiple choice be sure to study test get tough. You get 5 labs which is an easy grade since we do it as all together.
