She is a lovely professor and dropped the six lowest homework scores. In addition, she gives many extra credit opportunities. It is an easy class but be ready for a lot of homework. I waited one semester to take her class, and it was worth waiting.

Shes the best, although my class was fully online. You could tell just by her postings and feedback based on assignments that shes there to help you pass.. take her you will NOT regret it. Make sure youre committed though, Economics is not an easy class!

The class was not difficult but the classes were kinda boring. Regardless, she provides plenty of extra credit opportunities and is willing to help if you are falling behind. One thing to be aware of is class participation which makes up 20% of your final grade; as long as you go to class and answer some questions you'll be in the clear.

Honestly, she is my favorite professor, very flexible as long as you communicate with her, she is very understanding and genuinely goes out of her way to help students succeed, you can tell that she loves what she does. It is a very difficult class but she works very hard to make sure you understand it. I would most definitely recommend her class.

Professor Lakshmi really cares about her students. There was not really any homework(2-3) and there was one long semester project. There were no tests just a final and a midterm and you were allowed to use a study guide. She really wants her students to do well. She was very understanding. I def recommend taking any of her classes if you can!

I have never seen a more caring Professor. She will give extra credit at every opportunity. She will go the extra mile to make sure you are well acclimated and understand the material. Her lectures aren't the most fun, but that is not always a bad thing. She will work with you, but you have to work with her and don't take advantage of her kindness.

She is a great professor, but the assignment was average and difficult. There are four tests and a final exam, and she use the lockdown browser with a camera detection for the test, not the final. She allowed us to use the study guide. She gave you extra credits for two assignments for the test. Recommended This professor

Absolutely loved Eco 201 Honors! I took AP Macroeconomics in high school but did not take the exam since my teacher wasn't the best. However, Professor Nagarajan-Iyer truly explained everything thoroughly, so I was able to truly grasp macroeconomics. There was no final and plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Definitely take 1 of her classes!

The professor was sweet, offered extra credit, and allowed ample time for the final project. However, there were often multiple homework assignments due simultaneously, which was challenging. Thankfully, there was no group work. The professor responded promptly to emails. Attendance/participation was graded. Definitely recommend.

Class is lecture-based, unlike econ. All group projects, no solo work. Due dates for homework assignments are often on the same day, making it stressful. Attendance and participation required. No final exam.
