One of the worst professors I've ever had. Takes simple ideas and complicates them beyond any sense of understanding. She goes way beyond the scope of the course material, rambles on a lot, and the exam questions were filled with all kinds of errors. If you are taking ECON1000, do not take it with this professor.

The definition of an awful professor...

Lectures are confusing, all over the place, and conflicting with the textbook. Her definitions are not even related to those present in the textbook or to those used by other profs for the course. Her exams don't make any sense at all and students in her sections get unfairly difficult, confusing, and inaccurate exams compared to other sections.

Literally a GPA killer...

Avoid Karen and switch out if its not too late. This professor over complicates everything, her midterms have nothing to do with the textbook! Overall terrible experience and would not wish it on anybody. Not only are her exams hard, they are filled with mistakes! This course was the worst decision please dont take it with Karen.

AVOID THIS PROF!!!! Her lectures have nothing to do with the textbook, her exams are extremely hard and have many and I mean MANY mistakes (about 5-8 for a 30 question exam). She doesnt not follow any structure in her lectures and is just a horrible prof!!!! Avoid her at all cost!!

Avoid this professor. Could not explain concepts in a way that we could understand. Believe me, it's not just me, but talking to many students, they felt the same way. Often times, she would make me more confused than I already was. Her tests are much more difficult than the practise tests given as a resource for studying.

She does not use the textbook for the exams, she brings in her own definitions and adds chapters that other sections are not required to do. She makes her exams way harder than they have to be, and her lectures are unbearable and useless.

Avoid her. Thought it would be ok but she proved me wrong.

The worst proffesor I've had thus far. She over complicates every concept and her midterms and exams are different than the rest of the department. Her miderms have 80% of the class failing, and she teaches in the worst way. I hate bashing on teachers but she absoloutely ruined my semester. Please switch out if you get her.

I ended up skipping all my classes and teaching myself from the textbook. She rambles in class and her slides are hard to understand. She makes concepts more difficult than they are. Avoid taking her if you can... Her tests were difficult, and most questions didnt make sense.

No matter how hard you study for your exams, you still can easily get failed on her course. I rarely comment on professors and their lectures because I hate doing that. But she just makes the course much more complicated with messy and unstructured sildes when it's supposed to be easy.

She has a lot of experience teaching economics elsewhere so her terminology is different than that of every other professor. She is also big on giving out trick questions; every test I took just felt like a series of traps. I got an A+ but my grade was definitely much lower before the bell curve.

She makes it hard to understand the topics and never goea to thw math of the theorems. Most of the year you have to self-study. You wont pass if you dont study a lot by your self, the prof wont hwlp at all

Terrible on everything lol

Doesnt teach and expects you to read everything with no foundation basis and spends 90% of class time doing quizzes on content that hasnt been taught

For me, I need a lecture especially for a MATH class. I can't understand by only reading the textbook. This professor won't teach anything you need to figure out by yourself.

This prof is very unorganized, and complicates things beyond necessary. I have never experienced a more disorganized teacher in all my education.

This professor has the worst schedule. Both the exam and the usual classes are completely different from his syllabus. Delays in testing are common. In my semester, he will show half of the course content in the last month. In the case of many errors in the question, at least 90% of the correct rate must be achieved before the next step.

Poor lectures and thinks everybody should just magically understand the material. Loves to test on material she hasn't taught or went into debth about. Sometimes her tests feel like shes pushing for students to be confused and do bad.

She's nice, but.... you can be the most organized person and still find yourself wanting to rip your hair from your scalp with this course. She hardly responds to emails. She tests you on material that she hasn't taught. She never follows the syllabus dates. She randomly disappears for weeks. The stress made me want to die. Save yourself.

Please steer clear of taking a course with this prof. She picks and chooses what emails to respond to. Any course announcements are told to us by other classmates that were lucky enough to get a reply back from her. She does not update the course website or post lectures until after the test its intended for. It has put my GPA in a very bad state.

Are you on York's visual schedule builder checking if this professor is any good? This is your sign, do not take this professor for anything. Most unorganized professor I have ever seen. She is the worst combination of lazy and incompetent mixed into 1 person.

I don't understand some of the recent positive ratings on here. Although she is nice, she does not communicate. I sent her a handful of emails throughout the semester and she never responded. The course started in JANUARY and the UPD extended it to AUGUST because of HER lack of instruction. Exasperated, I opted to complete it with another prof.

USE THIS AS YOUR WARNING NEVER TO TAKE THIS PROF FOR ANYTHING. During my experience in econ1530 this professor, has the worst communicating skills ever, the question forums are a ghost town. She never updates grades in class. The material taught is not even close to the tests. She expects you to magically understand the math to the highest level.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST PROF THERE IS STAY CLEARRRR!!!!! Words cannot describe how horrible she is. Throughout this course, I had so many issues with this prof it's insane. There is no communication, no replies to your emails, lack of caring for students. It feels as if the prof has gone on a vacation in the middle of the course. Never got a mark update

We have live lectures for 50 minutes every week on Zoom. Beginning of the class she takes 15-20 minutes to respond questions that you can find the answers on the EClass. After that, she does not even read and answer our questions related to the lecture material. She does not finish the slides and exercises. She completes halfway and time runs out.

The class has ended December 2021. Its February 2022 and I have still not received my grade yet. Avoid this course at all cost. She wont follow the course outline which is given by herself. Never expect a follow up email, NEVER. Ill be graduating this May, but thanks to my outdated and ungraded course I dont even know if thats happening.

This is my elective, I didn't spend much time on this course. Make sure you are actually studying the videos and slides. Her tutorial is NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

Never ever take her as a professor like you wont know whats going on and whats she teaching, the question answer area is a ghost town the worst experience anyone can get. dont go for her no matter what

I didn't receive my midterm grades and weekly quiz results until the final exam, she often disappears, emails to her don't get a reply

utterly the worst math prof, in fact just the worst in existence. floods us with graded quizzes and useless graded activities, doesn't lecture when you go to class, she just has questions on the board that she expects you to solve. puts you into groups and walks around asking people if they have question.

To be honest, her tutorial doesn't help at all. You have to spend a lot of time watching lecture videos, taking quizzes, and participation in Iclickers to pass because the tests are SUPER SUPER hard! You will be tested more than what you learned.

I actually don't appreciate this professor at all because of the tough grading criteria. Her exams are actually pretty challenging. I really need the course for my major otherwise I would never have taken this course. It is understandable that APECON1000 requires work but her teaching style, grading and the exams made it even more challenging.

The lecture provided no teaching but rather was always started with questions no one could answer and afterwards provided limited teaching with small amounts of student engagement.

nobody really knows whats going on in her class. assigns everyone a bunch of equations to solve in class with no lecture. lots of homework too. dont make the same mistake as me. pick a different prof for this course.

she won't teach us useful things, just divide us into groups with some cards, what she said in class has no relation to the test, and she will leave so much homework for us. very awful, avoid her at all costs.

I would suggest not taking her at all. The lectures are incredibly awful and uninteresting. First two hours she just splits students into the group of 3, gives a bunch of question and that's it. Without holding the lecture first. Too much work on the eclass and if you want to pass with a good grade, never ever take her.

She did not have a course website set till the very end. Did not follow her own course outline for marking. The final exam was set extremely poorly. Did not consider any work for midterm even after I followed the instructions she set up herself. DO NOT TAKE THE COURSE WITH HER.

too much to fit in 350 characters. trust me, I wish I read the 1-star before I took her. She is the worst prof I encountered in york

Luckily I was able to drop this class but I wish I read the 1 stars about her before I took her. they all ended up being true, everyone I know who stayed suffered so much, and there were multiple complaints about her to the dean. Of course, they don't help either! Trust me save your time, money, and mental health. TAKE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!

she failed me with a 32%, took the course with a better prof that actually teaches, passed with a 76%. Do not waste your hard earned money with this prof. Spoke to the dean multiple times about her along with my peers, they still did not help. DO NOT TAKE HER.

NOT A NORMAL LECTURE CLASS. Grade is based off quizzes, assignments, and notes. The assignments are marked strictly and you have to resubmit (multiple) until you pass. Quizzes require 80% to pass. Prof only uses discord no emails. Prof doesn't answer questions you have properly and leaves a lot up to you to figure out. No midterm, only a final.

SHE DOESNT CHECK HER EMAILS AT ALL!
