Worst professor ever. No clarity, yells at students who ask questions. UGGGHHH!!!!! Mid term exam was a joke. UGGGHHH!!!!! Hope I never get her again
i think she is a student herself.
Why the heck does she still have a job ?? Totally unprepared, doesn't know the material herself, changes her mind every 2 minutes, confuses the hell out of the students. Don't bother going to class, read the chapters yourself and you'll Ace the co

This teacher sucks...totally unorganize, I don't know what is gonna be on the exam. she jumps around topics which confuses u more when u r just taking intro economics. I don't know why am I still in her class.
This prof sucks big time. Exam was hard. Basically she wants us to write out the whole chapters in 5 pages. the course wasn't really hard. It was just the teaching method. Didn't learn a thing thou..do not take this prof.
very helpful, wants students to pass, knows the material, explains with good examples, easy to talk to, test are easy if you study, wonderful prof., caring...take the course with her!
She KNOWS her stuff... and if you want some life pumped in boring theoretical courses, she's the best. Very approachable. I enjoyed.
BEST PROF EVER!!! Really passionate about teaching economics. Just make sure you make it to every class, because although she teaches from the text you'll learn more by attending the class and get better marks on the tests.
This course wasn't even offered until she created it.
Very good prof. Teaches material very well. If you need to take this course, make sure u take it with her. She's awesome!!! She's also very approachable and friendly.
Good prof. very interesting perspectives on a dead boring course.
Bad prof. Talk about unorganized she spent the first 3 hours of the course teaching stuff that was not even on the midterm. She is so bad the class just laughs at her, it took her 30 minutes to set up the class seating plan for the midterm, I could go on
teaching mode is bad but tests and exams are very straightforward. She looks like a crazy women from first impression.
As someone said, this professor is really passionate about teaching economics. Really wants students to succeed :). The marking scheme is very fair, and she does give you a chance to prove your knowledge so as to gain marks. Very respectful towards all people, as everyone should be to her.
Really easy going proof. Easy marker. Good understanding of the subject matter. Overall it was a worthwhile class
Very nice prof. The best economics prof. EVER!! i got an A with her. Explains the course material and help in every way she can.
She is 1 hell of a women...very unorganized...keeps forgeting things...nehow...she liked me and i ended up wid a good grade...sweet eh...
Seems unorganized, difficult to follow sometimes when going back and forth between topics from different chapters. But she does care very much that the students will succeed, and is willing to help explain things. She's a person with integrity and passion for economics. Clear? Crystal?
I have taken three economic classes with her and she's an amazing teacher. So she appears a bit confused at times but, economics is NOT EASY. I managed to get three A's and her exams are not difficult. Just study your notes and follow the textbook. ECN504, ECN703, ECN707
Khalida is very knowledgeable and eloquent in her explanation of economical analysis. She always explains theories with real world practical examples which help in terms of comprehension. I walked away from her class a much smarter student and definitley recommend taking her classes if you want to learn the practicality of economics.
Extremely learned instructor, very good handle on subject matter. Uses practical experiences to explain theories which help in understanding. Always willing to help and very accomodating when needed. Strongly recommend!
Intro2Micro. 'A' in 1 step: read the chapter before class. If you know your stuff well, the class develops a life of its own- ambient, personal, and hilarious. 'price elasticity of (use ur imagination here) after a midterm?' ask it in this class.. Chilled pace with 15 weeks to cover 10 chapters, simple midterm, and 2 weeks to review for the final.
Mz. Manzoor is an experienced teacher, she cares more about your success in the class more than anything else. Exams and group project are pretty simple if you do your work on time. Catch her before class if you've got any questions and she'll make them all "crystal clear." A chapter a week and you'll keep your grade at a peak.
Great course. Informative and made interesting by a fabulous professor who contributes to the learning through her international experiences.
I really enjoyed taking her Wednesday night class. My only regret was that I did not put in as much effort as I should have. I find it extremely inspirational that she has a deep passion for Economics. I also believe that she genuinely cares about the success of her students. I am going to miss going to this class on Wednesday nights.
Very nice prof. Enjoyed class with her. If you do your work and come to class you will do great.
I think she's mentally retarded! Don't attend class thinking you may actually learn something. Also, she is deaf, not clinically, she just can't hear a bomb go off beside her. Oh and did I mention she's an idiot?
Extremely nice professor, She is always there to help when students are in need of help. She keeps her course well organized, and she will give you bonus marks for showing you understand the concepts. Great Prof!
She is the Best... GREAT PROF.
I thought that she was a great prof aand she explained most things clearly and she had a positive attitude and she also tried to engage the class in learning the material and most of all she was fair.
Class started with 43-45 People. After Midterm.. class # is now around 16. Extremely rude, non helpful. I read her reviews and she has some really good ratings. I have no idea what has happened. My only guess is she lost interest in teaching this course. Maybe she has taught this class for too long. 20 Min presentation, and 12 page Essay als
shes is definitly one of the best economy teachers in ryerson, she was the one who introduced and taught me introductory economy , and i have been taking economy courses since. definitly the best teacher for economy at every level...
I know for a fact some of these positive ratings are made by this PROF. Along with many students I had to drop this class. A few (including me) have talked to adminstration about her moronic behavior to students and adults (CE). No way these ratings are real I welcome anyone to come talk to any remainding students or ex students about this PROF
A magnificent and extremely hard working prof, not this she was fully prepared but the amount of knowledge she has for this course was so much,,i think she was over qualified for this course. Moreover, The concepts were crystal clear and the teaching method was so good that you can understand easily. She has done a perfect and fabulous job!
She will be the professor I shall never forget. She woke me up and taught me what learning really means and I will forever be grateful.
This professor is extremely subjective and her exams are essay style no calculations. She is okay but you have to get on her good side to get a good mark. She does try to know you and either likes you or doesn't. She is very abrupt and straight forward.
The course itself isn't bad, the professor is helpful. Tests are essay type, which might be a bit subjective, but after all was an easy class, especially if you do the readings.
I agree with some of the comments. Extremely subjective and moody. She either likes or dislikes you. No structure to marking and does not believe/use in online blackboard. I would avoid this prof.
Crazy prof, arrogant and subjective. She thinks her course is the most important as if nothing else exists beside her course
OMG, I lve her course. She comes of hard, but at the end you will end up with a A, if you go to class and do your readings. If you get a bad mark, just talk to her and she will help you some how. She really loves to teach and help her students.
Helpful prof with a real passion to teach. She is easy if you just listen in class. She makes Econmoics fun and class is full of discussion. If you want a good mark, just talk in class reagrding the material and she will acknowlege you. Mid/Final review is sooo helpful. Almost all questions are given. Easy A. Better all other CE profs.
WORST PROF EVER. IF YOU WANT F GRADE THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE HER COURSE
Good professor.If you dont miss classes and stick to the book ,you will get a good mark for sure.I took this course before with another professor and failed,I got an A with her.
Prof is very passionate about course. Sometimes hard to follow where she is going with the material. The textbook is not that easy to read. Chapters don't build on one another, so there are too many different topics to cover. Prof will let u know what to study for midterm and final though. If you like economics and world issues this course is 4 u.
I agree with some of the comments on the site. However, it's true she does take the time to get to know who her students are and will either like or dislike you. Overall she is a great professor, if she likes you she will try to help you in any way possible. You have to do the readings yourself & if you do you'll get a decent grade.
Prof loves class interaction. We had to do a presentation on a developing country, which I loved becasue we learned about the world through other students, and it is a good way to get marks and build class interaction. She will let you know what is in th efinala nd mid term, so come to class. She is easy to approach.
She is a very caring prof and has a lot of love towards her students. She tries to foster a positive learning environment by increasing class interaction. Make sure you go to class. Exam questions are essay type but are given to the class a week prior to the exam. She has a lot of personality,which makes her very funny! She wants to see you do good
Absolutely insane.
The textbook is poorly written, but the class is still doable because of the teacher. She will help you do well. The course says you only need intro. micro, but I think people who took public finance had a bit of an advantage later in the course. If you don't take the course or economics seriously don't take a course with Manzoor.
Best professor. She loves teaching and cares for her students. She is always available before & after class, she helps those who help themselves.Attend all classes, pay attention and work hard.
Ms Manzoor is amazing, the best in Economics. Very helpful & always available, cares deeply for her students. Negative remarks about her are unfounded.Course is for the serious,work hard, attend all classes & and You will be successful.
I liked this course. the concepts were relevant and class was always interesting. The prof certainly encourages discussions. The textbook though was a pain and full of jargon. She still explained the diagrams well & kept the lectures simple. we actually covered a lot of issues. brush up on your micro (cost, externalities)... and you'll be fine
I don't know about the negative comments. I had a positive experience with her. I enjoyed the fact she talked so very loud as some rooms eat sound and drowned out the prof. I found her strict, but if you did your work, she would do anything to help you out-just show her you are trying, she would do anything for you!..one of the best I've had!
She is a really amazing prof. She cares for her students and she always wants her students to do well. She really is a nice prof and she always make sure that her students do well.
She is a really amazing prof. She cares for her students and she always wants her students to do well.
Good teacher, wants her students to do well and she is very helpful
First of all to who ever thinks that all positive comments are made by the prof, you need to stop whining like a little baby and grow up. Ms. Manzoor is the most extreme professor I've ever met. Her teaching methods can be extremely refreshing and useful for some while completely negative for others. I loved that class and will never forget it!
I don't understand why many students are writing negative comments about her. She is one of the best profs I had at Ryerson and she is also very caring and very intelligent. People need to stop complaining. I understand her teaching is different from other teachers but its interesting and exciting.
She barely speaks english, lectures don't make sense, and she screws up examples. Better off just reading the textbook, but she also takes attendance, so you must attend class. Avoid if you can.
She is a good instructor, and cares about students if they understand the concepts or not. Every instructor has different teaching methods, in order to fully understand her, you have to read the chapter ahead of time. Ryerson policy states you are suppose to give 10 hours per week just for homework studies per class. Overall she is a gd instructor
i walked into first class and wanted to drop. came across very rude. i had to stay in due to scheduling. she ended up being nice. basically tells you what will be on exam. very easy. gives opportunities for bonus marks. she wants her students to do well, dont get scared because shes a bit rude. just a cultural difference i guess.
First day I approached with encouragement .. but she asked who is Amartya Sen and i was like .. huh? she likes people who show interest and participation .. she gives you the materials EXACTLY what you need to study .. very easy class, show interest and her rudeness will disappear.
she is a professor who has a lot of knowledge and experience. she is very helpful and approachable. if u want to really learn economics take a class with her. she gives exam topics to stress on before hand so not tht hard.
She is a wonderful professor with abundance of knowledge and unique way of imparting that to student. I enjoyed lot in her class, initially was very apprehensive of starting studies after a big gaps of years from last time in school. But the way she taught the fundamentals and approaches as how to build the structure of solving the complex problem
She tells you whats on the midterm and final. Although she has a different style of teaching, shes very helpful and less boring than other profs. She gets you to think about the subject material.
She is a good professor who doesn't hesitate to make herself available to her students. I had never taken an Economics course prior to this class and found that with her teaching style and the concern she has in regards to her students left me very interested in Economics. She is very clear about her expectations and doesn't leave you confused.
Transportation Economics is a very challenging and interesting class! It is not only about theory, it goes beyond it, it deals with everyday practical knowledge. I enjoyed taking it especially with the most helpful and knowledgeable professor as K. Manzoor is! I highly recomend to take this course - you will do excellent, I am more than sure!
Her course outline and lectures and very organized and she has covered both aspects of transportation economics ( i.e , transporation and economics).She is very helpful to assist in class and outof class. Her main objective is that student should learn
Seems very demanding at first, but is a very fair marker. Read the suggested material and you will surely get an A. She loves class participation and discussions.
She might come out a bit bitter initially, but as you along she gets to know everyone on a first-name basis and makes this class feel like home compared to some of the cold accounting and finance profs i had.. Absolutely loves class discussions. No Tests, No Mid-term, AND Gives you the 2 questions that appear in your final exam!! I will miss her..
She might come out a bit bitter and demanding at first, but as the times goes, she gets to know everyone on a first-name basis . Absolutely loves class discussions. She is a very fair marker. Read the suggested material and you will surely get an A. She loves class participation and discussions
I've never had such an unprofessional and rude prof. as her!!! Her comments on the forums are really degrading and quite useless. Talks down to students as if they're in kindergarten even if students just want simple clarification. Will not provide guidance!
She may seem rude at first to most students. But like everyone said, as time passes you will realize she is simply a teacher who really wants to ensure her students learn everything right and she's infact really nice once you get to know her. Great teacher, of this course. I would absolutely recommend students to take this course with her!
Took the online class with her, great prof! Timely feedback, encouraged students. 60% final on campus, super easy.
Take this course online and it's guaranteed an A. She gives sample questions similair to exam. Essay is straightforward and group discussions are easy 10%. Great professor!
Good professor

GREAT PROFESSOR. ANSWERS QUESTIONS EVEN THE DAY BEFORE THE TEST BY EMAIL. SHE IS SIMPLY AMAZING.
Whatever she said just note that in ur book ..for exam practice same questions and u will be good .. u will get an A easily ..
K. Manzoor is the best and the nicest economics professor at Ryerson! She has been teaching for more than 10 years, very experienced lecturer! Classes are very interacting, well-structured, it is easy to get a good grade as long as you follow her requirements. Take economics classes with her, you will enjoy it 100%!
K. Manzoor is the best economics professor! My foundation of economics is very strong because of K.Manzoor. Lots of interaction in class and very easy going. I would definitely recommend taking economics classes with her.
