Can't understand what she is saying.

I'm not a moron and I didnt get an A... and she is very hard to understand so dont take her!!!

Terrible, Terrible! If you want an A in her class, be sure to take a foreign language class a semester prior

She is a awful teacher do not take her! Not only is she hard but only very rude!

Don't take her class.

Rumor has it in the econ department that she is a terrible professor. Of course I didn't listen and I still took her, but from my experience, she's not the greatest. She's not very friendly and helpful. She makes the exams difficult and tricky. Ummmm...It really makes me wonder who gave her the high ratings in here. Suspicious...

She is an very mean Professor. Don't take her

Be ready to pay for a tutor, thats the only way to pass the class.

She is not nice at all. She is never on student's side, always talks like she is hired to be against you and give you a bad grade. I hope that she retires soon.

Hard to follow. Knows her stuff...she just does a horrible job at teaching it. She does have a decent sense of humor, but unless you are naturally gifted at ECON pick another prof. Additionally, her grade consists of 3 tests and 1 homework assigned which means even if you mess up on 1 thing it really impacts your grade.

She spends more time complaining that the class is horrible and needs to go back to the basics than teaching, and that's when you can understand her.

Don't take Chen if you want an A. I was a straight A Economics student at UNLV, and got a D on her first test and withdrew. She didn't give out a single A on the first test, and it was difficult to know what to study for. I retook with Malamud, got an A, and learned more.

This teacher was the worst teacher i ever took!!! She was rude, hard to understand, not understanding at all about absences, and almost impossible to learn anything from. I suffered every time I had to sit through her class, please if you have the choice to take anyone else DO IT!!!! im saving you the pain of her annoying voice

avoid her

She is my far the worst professor I have ever had. I don't mind working hard, if fact I studied for her tests and I'm good at Econ. You cant understand her, she is mean, the class average was a 50% and she doesn't really curve. She said it was our fault and not her lack of teaching stills. I will never take her again!

Horrible. Just horrible. ECON on YouTube will teach you more than she could hope to. If you can decipher her garbled English AND get her to actually answer a question without making you feel as small as you ever have- then you are at least a candidate for superhero. Good to know some profs don't care about students' success.

She is the worst professor ever. very rude,she thinks she is the smartest person but she is not.She just got exams from nowhwre not from text book concepts. She confused students by going back and forth on the topics on the same chapter. She is terrible. Do not take her please. nOT WORTHY

You can buy the book, come to class,take heavy notes, do all the MyEconLab study questions and get A's on those. But when it comes to her test, they are just as foreign as she is.

I was scared going into her class after seeing her rating on here; they were right. Lein-Lein Chen is easily the worst professor I've had at UNLV. The book and online hw were the only things that helped. Perhaps Lein-Lein Chen does have a grip on economics in her head, but her knowledge is somehow lost in translation during the lectures.

Really hard to understand, very difficult grader. Spent my life studying for this class, but didn't do well, even though I am typically an A student. 4 Tests, all unnecessarily hard. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

She's not very clear at all. She only gives two tests, a final, and a couple homework assignments so if you mess up one exam kiss your A goodbye. She doesn't post any power points for us to review. Goodluck.

Don't take her if you're not good with accents. I had a hard time learning in her class and she was very unclear with many things. If you could take another economics professor you should. Dr. Chen got sick in the middle of the semester and we had 3 different subs. Their teaching styles were different but I learned a lot from them.

Chen is unlike any teacher I've had; she's difficult to understand, and teaches "concepts"; no homework, 3 tests/semester, and no attendance. I recommend a different professor; this is the one class reading and extra tutors won't help.

This professor was horrible. I wouldn't recommend anyone taking her. I went to see her during office hours because I got a bad grade on the first test. She became very impatient with me and then decided herself that she wont help me anymore. she told me i had to go to the extra hours with the GA but I couldnt because i had class then. HORRIBLE!

She isn't clear in her explanations and going to her office hours doesn't help at all. She refuses to explain things and tells you to figure it out for yourself. Go to the SI sessions. The homework is very straight forward, but her tests are difficult and completely unlike the homework. I strongly recommend against taking a class with Chen.

Chen is not an efficient professor. I was excited to learn at the beginning of the semester, but she was just disappointing. There are three exams and five online homework. The online homework was really easy. I can't say the same for the exams. No notes provided or exam reviews. Do yourself a favor, don't take this class.

Took this class twice, she was the only professor available both times. I had such a hard time following her and her accent is so thick. I really tried and would get frustrated with her. She doesn't use WebCampus. Just make sure you read the chapter above all and do the online homework. Homework is similar to exams. I wish there was another teacher

This professor has an extremely thick accent and does not provide help for her students outside of class. She leaves the students to track down her TA and have the Assistant explain the lessons. Tests are based on lectures but there is no study material or notes provided on webcampus. Everything comes from her lectures. 2 Tests and 1 Exam.

The worst professor I've had in all my years at UNLV. Understanding her is very difficult, and instead of teaching in the lectures you get rambling and personal stories that do not relate to the lesson. She even admitted that her lectures aren't enough to understand the class and either was the textbook, she depends on students to self teach.

I should have read all previous ratings from this professor, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR... If you're a genius or know economics from head to toe then for all means take this class if not you will either withdraw or fail. Her accent is THICK... I don't know how she can teach... You have to rely on the textbook 100% plus the tutors at the library.

Just failed her class this Fall semester and retaking it with another professor for Spring. Thought I could make it work because the time fit my schedule but WAS WRONG. PLEASE FOR YOURSELF DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS TAKE ANY OTHER PROFESSOR. Unbelievably difficult to understand accent, rants on topics which do not add to lecture notes. DO NOT DO IT.

She has a strong accent so understanding what she says sometimes can be difficult. I thought I understand the concepts but the way she explains things is different than anything on the exams. It is basically a self study sort of class. If you are a hard core economics fanatic, take this class . But if you just want to get an A, take another prof!

She is knowledgeable but cannot teach it to you, probably bc her English is poor. If you can learn on yourself, you will be fine. The textbook is not mandatory but you will need to read bc like I said she can't teach, but you need the online access code or else you can't do the homework, which is probably the best tool for test studying. good luck

Probably the worst professor I have ever taken. She screams the lecture notes as if you should know them already. She is really hard to understand & you are basically only graded on your test scores. She also decided to make Exam 2 the Monday back from spring break. Avoid at all costs.

You would legit need the book it can teach you better than this teacher because she is hard to understand

2 exams and 1 final in this class. She lectures mostly 1 chapter 1 or 2 classes. She uses powerpoints for her lecture, and each lecture or maybe each chapter she uses one slide of the whole entire powerpoint to lecture through the entire class. The only slide of powerpoint she uses is a graph, and she just gives examples of her own life situation.

Hard class and she doesn't explain well, hard to understand and only 3 tests for the entire semester

This teacher's lectures are horrible, blatantly rude to students if they answer questions wrong, she acts as if students have taken the course before. Her lectures are her yelling with broken English in front of the class and ranting on losing track of the subject on hand. She doesn't sue any online communication tools so she's hard to contact.

I feel sometimes there is no point in going to class because the things that she teaches are not on the exam. The exam is mostly based on the textbook and the things she says has nothing to do with the exam. You only get 2 exams and 1 final for your grade so there is no room for error. Constantly reminds students how her class is not mandatory

Professor Chen is very repetitive and does not clearly explain the topics in microeconomics. I attended every class lecture (except for 2), and even with that, I found her exams extremely challenging. If you want to learn about these subjects, be prepared to teach yourself using outside resources. Very difficult level 102 course; do not recommend

This is an extremely difficult course due to only 2 tests 1 Final and 5% final grade from online homework. I do not understand what shes saying at most times (literally). I only missed one lecture and even then nothing she says really helps. Do whatever you can to avoid taking this class with her as the professor please Im trying to save you Lol

Literally avoid at all costs. She doesnt allow you to take notes, the class is graded on 3 tests (5% homework) and I cant understand her. I learned as much going to class as I did not going to class.

Some people talk about how heavy her accent was, but I could understand her. When she used her slides, she would review one slide only. Her class is boring. She doesn't review the tests with us. The stuff she teaches isn't even on the exam. She makes it seem like it's the student's fault if they fail. Don't take her, take someone or teach yourself.

Not a class i would ever take again

I would say to avoid this professor if you have the ability. She tries so hard, but she's just not good at it. She doesn't speak English very well, it's difficult to communicate with her, and her tests are HARD! You won't get an A. I'm an Econ major, but I might switch majors if it means avoiding her for future classes.

She isn't accountable for the mistakes she makes and the students end up being at fault. She claims because it's a big class she can't do anything extra to help improve people's grades but it seems like she just doesn't want to because I have other professors who have just as much students and the only difference is they actually care. Frustrating!

Professor Chen means well and is nice, but the class was very confusing and kind of all over the place. Graded by a midterm, term paper and a final, so not much wiggle room if you screw one up. Times were tough due to everything being online, but still the communication was iffy and it wasn't always clear what was expected.

Professor Chen is not a native English speaker so it is understandable that I got mixed messages in the lectures. The real problem is that when you take the exam, you have one chance at each answer. You cannot go back and review your answers before submitting.

Worst teacher at the University. Stay away. Does not record lectures and allow for opportunities to go over material on your own. You cannot go back and review answers on exams once you select an answer. She is absolutely abysmal. Terrible terrible teacher.

The formatting of her class is so confusing. For her lectures she reads off of power point slides the whole time and then says to not rely on her power points for her exams. Her lectures are practically pointless. I do not recommend taking her. She has such a low score for a reason. I brushed it off and regretted it. Don't make the same mistake.

Lein-Lein is an absolute catastrophe to the education industry. Instructors like this deplete all of my ambition of pursuing a degree. The instructor lectures powerpoints for an hour every lecture and then tells you not rely on them at all. She tells you it is best to have multiple textbooks and then tells you to not rely on them as study material.

This course is graded by 3 exams that are nothing like what she lectures. She does not give homework so you will not know what will be on the tests. Her lectures consist of her going off on a tangent with no signs of teaching anything about economics. Come on UNLV? Is this how you want to represent your school?

Save yourself. If you have the option to take another professor then do it. If not, just don't take econ that semester. Her lectures were so useless, I ended up teaching myself the whole course. The textbook is somewhat your friend. Passed this class with an A- but that required a lot of studying from my end. If you mess up on one exam, good luck.
