Good:Organized lecturer, very helpful,tests are very fair-multiple choice and one essay question, assigns homework but gives you the answers. Bad:Lectures are boring, hw can be a pain, newspaper assignment is useless. I definitely recommend her. Cute!!

Great teacher. Makes you want to learn. Tests are pretty easy. Article assignments are a pain. Gives answers to homework questions. I recommend taking her class.

All you have to do is take good notes (which she gives you!)and you don't even need the book for tests, only for hw. I took both of her econ classes, mention "Friends" or chocolate, she loves both.

She is helpful, and will bump up all the classes grades if they are below a certain point for a test.

she is a great teacher and is prepared every day with a slide show..i would reccomend her

Mrs. Maghoney is such a sweet and nice person! She is very good at explaining the concepts and making it easier to understand. The lectures were cool - she had slides and went at just the right pace so I could take very clear & good notes for the test. I would most definitely take her again, and recommend her to anyone taking an economics class.

This teacher is Very Hard, but also she is very good. Hard as in her tests are hard the class average on an exame were about 60 - 65 % for each test. grades exams by the next class. Her tests are from the book so if you read the book your good to go. She has assigned seating. Your hwk is 4 points EC toward your exams which she goes over in class

Tough class. She's willing to help, but even that may not be enough. Work hard for a decent grade. The tests are killers. Do the reading and the homework, which help out your test scores, but I wouldn't bother with the article assignments, which are only worth a lousy 4 points (combined). She's a good teacher though, nice, helpful, and clear.

Really easy to understand. Econ 2 is a little harder, but still, if you ask questions, she will answer. Took both online with her and passed. You do need to read the book, but she has a section for each week called "bridge over troubled waters" that specifies areas in the book that students in the past had trouble with. Highly recommended!

Class covers a lot of applied economics, but little theory. time would have been better spent elsewhere, as knowing how to calculate GDP is mostly meaningless. probably good foundation for econ majors though.

Took micro-econ online, and it was super easy. She gets many test questions directly from practice tests available online (website listed in the textbook). Lots of reading and a fair amount of homework. This was the 1st college class I had taken in 10 years & had no problems getting an A+. It was much easier than I expected.

Mrs. Maghoney is a very professional consistent teacher, keeps u well informed of dates, deadlines etc. Class is hard but Econ is a hard subject anyway. She provided email support and gave me all points on homework. Study guide strongly recommended for test. I did well but half the class failed, U defiantly have to know the material to pass, good t

Very good teacher, probably one of the best that I ever had. It's not difficult to get an "A" in the class-just read the book and take really good notes. She knows what she is talking about, she is nice and above all she's hot, you really can't go wrong with this teacher:)

I took Econ 1 & 2 at the same time, Econ 1 is much easier. It's a hard subject, but she helps as much as possbile. Will help you with anything she can. Homework is easy, do it! Tests are hard, but passable. Do everything she asks and you can get an A! I dont recommend taking this class online though, it's much MUCH harder.

Mrs. Maghoney is as nice as they come, but to bad economics is not nice. Be prepared to study a lot in class. This is not like High School Economics. Passing this class is not that hard if you really study.

Mrs. Maghoney is a really nice person. She gives you a lot of oportunities to try to get a passing grade. She is very helpful and understanding when circumstances come up. her class is HARD HARD HARD though, but if you dedicate enough time for the homework and reading before class you can pass. She throws test questions out that people bombed.

Took her for a few weeks. Homework and tests were difficult to pass. I dropped the class before I could finish it. If you're trying to take an economics class, I'd recommend Prescott. He's easier and you would understand economics a lot better.

I have taken both Maghoney and Prescott. Moghoney is very clear when presenting the material,she makes sure you get it. Homework is easy. If you study you can pass the tests and the article assignment was a little difficult but fun. Good teacher over all. GREAT CLASS! Use the study guide, really, really, helps!

Very fair teacher. Test are derived directly from lectures. Reading the textbook and using the study guide definitely pay off: while the average test scores were generally low, people who spent time studying and doing the work fared very well. Dont leave any projects to last minute. Ask questions or talk to her during her office hours for help.

I took her for Econ 1 and 2 and it was 2 of the easiest classes i have ever taken. The subject matter can be complicated but she prepares you for the tests very well. Get started early on the current events project and you will ace her classes.

Great teacher! She's VERY clear and organized in her notes, you need to attend class in order to really understand material. Studying outside of class is mandatory but not extreme, mostly before tests. As long as you really go over material prior to tests, you can get a decent grade. Current event project and homework is easy & she answers emails.

She is nice but tests aren't too easy. She really tries to help you out and is friendly if you ask her for help. Homework is extra credit for tests!

i put in a lot of effort, yet got a C. do NOT hesitate to ask about GDP; that stuff can destroy your grade, like it did mine!

Took this class online. Tests count for at least 65% of final grade. A lot of homework for little value. As far as economics goes, taking the class online is like teaching yourself. She is strict on office hours so questions you may have on weekends will go unanswered until Tuesday.

This is my second economics class with her. I did get an A in Econ 001 but I busted my butt! Tests are difficult but do-able. Homework and study-guide I feel is necessary to get an A as long as a lot of dedicated time and effort. If you want to really understand economics I would take her! There are a lot of graphs but use them to your advantage!

She's actually a really good professor. Her notes pretty much do the job and the book works more as a reference if you decide you do not like her approach. Her office ours are tight but she's ALWAYS there when she says she'll be. I recommend her, I took her class on campus. Don't get me wrong though, you'll WORK. Her tests are no joke.

SHe is a great professor

Took her class online. Answered questions quickly. She made the tests challenging but overall pretty fair. Would have liked to have taken this class in person as I heard that she was good at teaching the material.

She's a really good professor. You don't really use the book a whole lot but you might need it for the homework. Overall, a good class

Her mono tone puts you to sleep, BUT she explains things well and is there for any questions you may have. As long as you take good notes on her power points and ask questions when you don't get something, as well as do your homework and really understand it, you should pass.

I took this class online and the test are hard. Professor was helpful and homework was easy. But the test were HARD. Spring Break was helpful because I literally read all of the previous chapters to understand the material. I ended the class with a C. She grades fair and uses a point system to get your grade. I will take her again though.

The professor was great. She answered all my questions and was willing to help. I took this class online and it was really hard. I was gratful for spring break which i used the time to study the previous chapters. Each test only gets harder. She grades on a point system which helped alot. Even though it was hard I am taking her for Econ 2.

I took this class online and i've taken econ 1 with the same professor also. To me, econ 2 was easier thn econ 1. econ 2 i got a B econ 1 i got a C. Maybe its because I got used to her method. She is a good professor willing to help and her online class is very organize. You do have to try in her class. It is not a piece of cake.

Took ECON 1 & 2 ONLINE Summer/Fall 2010. Very organized course BUT the quizzes were rather difficult. I'm an A student and Econ 1 & 2 were the ONLY courses so far I got a B in. Use other sources than just the book to get you through the class and quizzes.

Very helpful, you need to make sure you dedicate time reading the text and asking questions, exams are a little tough but if you study a little bit and utilize office hours you will do fine, only reason I got a B was because I did poorly on the first exam of the semester, I would recommend her, she changed my major.

Professor Maghoney is a great professor! Her exams are difficult, but also easily passable if your pay attention and ask questions about the concepts that you are having trouble understanding. There is only one paper in her ECON 002 class, which is a research essay that is worth about 8% of your final grade. Very positive experience overall.

She was a great professor. Very helpful, clear, responds quickly to email and was flexible with her hours to give me some extra help being that I work full-time and am an online student. I would definitely recommend her class. If I needed another Econ class, I'd pick her.

She is really strict on being and turning things on time. She locked doors after final started. She didnt accept people's late work even after 2mins after deadline which cost them 8% of their grade. We're all adults though and we should be on time. She's tough but a good lecturer. I enjoyed Econ and managed to get an A.

One of the best professors I have ever had. She goes over the material in class, so just show up and take notes. Tests are not worded any differently than lecture. She is always happy go over material that someone is struggling with. Tests are challenging, but not hard. Thorough, nice, helpful, funny! Take her!!!

See was a really great teacher very clear and helpful. All of the tests were straight from the notes and an easy A if you studied your notes. Would definitely recommend her for any Econ courses.

Great teacher, delivers information with hardly any personal input on the subject. This is truly an Economics class and NOT a political pulpit. On required writing will allow you to submit early to her for her advice and rewrite.

Mrs. Maghoney is an excellent teacher. The subject may not be the easiest, but she certainly sets you up for success. The syllabus is followed almost exactly. She explains things clearly, but you will need to study. Use the online study tools, do the homework, show up to class and study a little and you should be fine.

Prof Mahoney explains the material GREAT. She teaches from slides, bk, & the brd. Do the hw use the study guide & u pas easily.

I don't know why everyone goes on about how hard she is. Read the textbook, do the online portion of the class, and you're guaranteed a good grade, at least a B, easily an A. Her lectures are great, and her graphs are very clear and easy to understand. The whole class definitely made economics a lot more interesting to me.

I took Econ 1 and Econ 2 with her. My favorite thing about her classes: ALL THE POWERPOINTS ARE ONLINE! If you have terrible attendance like me, you can study at home. She is great at coming up with examples to explain difficult concepts. I am not an economics fan but she made the material interesting. Great teacher.

She is great I am sad I will not have the chance to take another one of her classes. Her class structure and test are very very consistent. Her power points follow along with the book and she directs you to all of the important info for the tests. I suggest the study guide as I started to slip in her class and it helped me pull through to earn an A

WOW Mrs. Maghoney is such an amazing professor. She really got me to be way more interested in Economics than I already was! I am sad I won't take another course with her! She changed my major!!! Maghoney really cares bout her students and she gives you everything you need to know for the tests, all you have to do is be interested, and try!

The class itself is dry. Maybe for other people Econ is exciting, but not me. She does her best to be helpful and will spend an eternity clarifying something if you don't get it, which can get especially boring if you're one of those people who get everything the first time around. Do your online homework, understand it, and you're golden.

She grades grammar and punctuation harder than my english teachers, someone should tell her she is teaching econ. So far i have taken 1 test and it was pretty easy with about 10 hours of study time. Shes easier than the people here say and so far I have an A, If you put in the work you can get a good grade but she definitely makes you work for it.

This is a 3 unit class and I feel like the questions given on tests are harder than it should be. Get ready to read a lot on your own.

Online makes everything easier, I was able to work at my own pace although I did end up teaching myself. In general the concepts are not too hard and test questions are generic if you know what I mean. Weekly homework, but again nothing too demanding. The book was $160, and you WILL need the lab code. Overall easy class for solitary learners.

This class is not an easy class especially if it's your first time taking Econ. Her lectures are pretty clear but she expects you to work hard in order to get a good grade.

Maghoney is great at what she does. Her lectures are clear and informative and she often ties in stories or videos to cement in what you've learned. I found that her tests are more difficult than I expected them to be, but study efficiently (Connect, the online course material, is awesome) and ask her for help during office hours to succeed.

The only people I've found to have a problem with her classes were the students who took her class online. I took econ1 with her in person and she was wonderful! Very clear and engaging, interesting lectures, answered all questions straightforwardly and kindly. Make sure you finish the homework ahead of time so you know what to ask her before test!

She responded to my emails quickly, I enjoyed her lectures, learned a lot. The homework (not Connect) was sometimes difficult and pretty much a mini test, but if you knew what you were doing for that then you're golden for the actual test. The test was pretty much the same q's with different numbers. We had 4 exams, 30 multiple choice q's & 1 essay

Maghoney was a very awesome professor! She made me consider Economics as my major! I thought I couldn't love Economics more till I recently transferred to a 4 year University and have been taking such interesting classes in Economics!

Her class isn't too bad as long as you take notes, pay attention and ask questions. People complain about her tests as being worded tricky and while true it isn't impossible to pass her class with an A as long as you study for these tests and do the learn smart and homework. If you just need Econ as a GE however take her online class it's easier.

I thought her grading was more than fair. She tells you exactly what she is looking for in her syllabus, so it shouldn't come as a surprise if you do not get full credit. If you do the work, you will do fine. I am not very interested in the subject, but I enjoyed the class. She gives you multiple ways to learn the information too.

I took Econ 1 Online. I really enjoyed taking this online class. It was self-paced and easy. THE TESTS WERE EASY TOO. The homework essay questions were a little hard. You get your assignments done through connect which is very nice. .Take her online class.

Professor Maghoney knows her stuff. She uses her past experiences from when she was in school and when she worked professionally before teaching. I get the feeling she really wants us to learn the material, but that doesnt make it any easier. Difficult subject, lots of online homework (she assigns alot so it'll stick), and she doesnt go easy on u.

I took the online class. Class not too hard but lots of discussions which was annoying. If you do the work then it should be easy to pass. Not recommended if you really want to learn economics. No makeup work so a missed deadline F. Prof is very responsive to emails. Overall, not too difficult. Grade will be reflective of your effort.

Professor Maghoney knows the content she teaches and has experience in the area. Her lectures are interesting, and she has always been available for contact outside of class. Her tests are worded awkwardly sometimes but it is similar to the homework. She assigned one paper and offered to review as many rough drafts as you wanted. Overall very good.

Honestly, ECON with Maghoney was pretty easy. She's a really nice lady who wants you to succeed and outlines everything that you need to do. If you do it, you can get a good grade. Plain and simple.

Economics is a tough subject for me. But Professor Maghoney was extremely helpful! She gave great feedback, answered emails quickly, and was very helpful during her office hours. This class is tough, but if you put in the effort that a college class should require, you'll do fine. The tests are tough and make sure you read the material!!!

I was doing badly in the beginning of the semester and was worried that I might have to drop the class. I started going to her office hours and got feedback on my article responses which helped a lot! The study guides are crucial to doing well on the test. Go to her office hours and show her you want to do better, it really helps!

Print out the powerpoints and take notes and pay attention in class. This is not an easy A. But you don't have any other choices. She makes clear what is going to be on the test while she is giving the lecture so never miss class.

Love Maghoney. I'm not sure if it was just me, but her Econ classes were easy and I learned a lot. Her online lectures are really helpful if you take the online class. She's nice and presents the information well.

Prof Maghoney was awesome. The key to success is literally copying the slides/lecture into your notes and then read through them because its EXACTLY whats on the test. She explains the material very well. After studying my notes I never scored below a 96 on a test. Make sure to follow directions on HW and article assignments. The class is a breeze.

This was one of the best classes I took at Solano. I thought this would be a tough class because previous semesters students said they had to put a lot of time even outside class but that wasnt the true for me. She has 5 exams including the final and homeworks and assignments are due the night before the exam. Lectures are very helpful.

She provides you with everything you need for the tests. There are 5 tests (including the final) each have 40 multiple choice questions with one essay question (you only need a paragraph). Class is very structured as long as you show up, pay attention, and take notes you will pass. I got an A by just putting in basic effort & doing the assignments.

Professor Maghoney was a very sweet professor and I am unsure why she got bad reviews. Her lectures are very detailed. When she tells you to stop by her office or email her for help, please do it! Emailing her about my articles helped TREMENDOUSLY. Study your notes everyday and go over the learnsmart questions because that helped as well.

This professor is amazing and explains the material very well. She is accessible for help outside of class and will also edit any written assignments before the due date. It is extremely important to NEVER miss one of her classes. Pay attention to lectures. She tells you what is important for the exam. You will get an A if you take initiative.

Great teacher. It was a bit difficult at first, after the second test I was able to adjust and adapt. You need to study for the test! PAY ATTENTION TO HER LECTURE VIDEOS! She was nice when I needed clarification as well!

I found this class to be pretty challenging and I put much more time into it than I typically need to. Doing the reading, watching her video lectures, doing the practice worksheets, and reading her written lectures and all assignments were essential. She was very pleasant and responsive to questions. I found it interesting. Tests are difficult!

A great teacher who enjoys what she does. Ask questions and she will try her best to help any way she can. As long as you attend lectures or watch the videos it is pretty easy. The book is easy to follow along with and the online homework allows you to go back to the book to find the answer very quickly.

Professor Maghoney is a wonderful economics teacher. Straight to the point, yet very nice and smiley if you have a question. If you struggle with a topic she's more than willing to help you. I've met up with her in person and online as well, and both times she has been very nice and PATIENT. She is a very knowledgeable lady. I enjoy her lectures

I was frustrated at first, but after I got into the groove of the class I started to do better and aced all my assignments and tests. Make sure to watch the videos in her "My Two Cents" module if taking online. The essay questions on the assignments are SUPER important so make sure they are quality. Lots of homework, but you will learn Econ.

Professor Maghoney is one of the best instructors that I have had in college. She is organized, I knew exactly what I needed to do in the class and she always responded quickly to my questions. It is clear that she cares about her students. I learned a lot about economics and now I am considering being an econ major. I highly recommend her.

Professor Maghoney is a professor that is very organized about her online classes. Every week she would post an announcement on what's due, and even then you don't have to read it since it's always consistent. Yes, her tests are very difficult and she makes you work for your grade, but she always gives enough information about each unit.

This class is fairly difficult due to the content of what you're learning. I struggled a lot with the math formula portions of this course. Exams were 58% of our grade and were timed, 60 minutes for 50 multiple-choice questions. Despite all of this, this professor really cares for her students. She responds quickly and is very understanding.

Laura Maghoney is great at explaining graphs and concepts needed in class. She offers videos to see another perspective on putting the pieces of graphs together. The tests are really heavy into knowing and understanding the concepts. More zoom hours would be nice to accommodate different schedules. Exams are tough. Study hard.

this professor has it down. her online modules are so clear and easy to follow. same 3 assignments each week. you can knock it out in one sitting. that's what I usually did. don't worry about writing the perfect answer to the discussions. she's not going to dock you if you don't hit every point, just if you don't follow the rubric. great teacher!

really good

Professor Maghoney's ECON001 class is challenging, but she provides clear guidance and cares about student success. The exams are tough, but using tools like unstuck study helps with study prep. Overall, a rewarding course if you're willing to put in the work.

Prof Maghoney is caring, communicative, organized, and actually knows her stuff. The course is set up for success, just insert "doing your part". Extra credit IS a thing. Be sure to read her lecture notes and watch the step-by-step videos. Also, if you are juggling a lot, timelines for work completion are very generous (Tues-Sun).

Nice lady, nice class. She really likes chocolate and gave us some for Halloween. She's so cute. Her lectures are engaging and clear to understand. She doesn't give too much homework, good deadlines too. She provides study materials, worksheets etc. Overall, great professor who helped me realise I want to major/at least double-major in econ.

Took her Econ class in Fall of 2023. Good professor, would def take her class again.

I took this professor for Econ 01 and 02. She's a very nice lady and teaches well in my opinion. Its important to show up to lectures but if you ask questions and keep up with the material, it should be a positive experience.

show up to class!!!! often goes over stuff/draws graphs in class that just aren't addressed online or in the slides at all. take good notes & cram your notesheet before each exam and you'll do fine, and make sure to start the homework early
