Nice lady. Her lectures cover the book, but make it more interesting. She's understanding, but fair. The tests are curved, but they're still pretty difficult. Online assignments suck, even though she didn't make them up.

hybrid course. boring. never showed up to class, but past every exam with a "B." just need to read the book. online hw assignments every week that basically quiz you on the reading. she curves on exams. not a difficult class.

Felt the subject was a difficult in itself, and she does her best to explain it. There are no structured notes, and she rushes through the ones she does. I thought the Aplia (online) assignments helped practiced the material, but they don't replace the teacher. You should be OK if you do show up to class and do the online assignments.

If you do all the online assignments and turn everything in on time, you are guaranteed an A, because you will consequently be able to do well on the tests

Lisa Grobar is a decent Prof. The subject is very complex so its hard to cover everything in 50 mins. The Aplia Assignments are not too hard. As long as you go to class and do the assignments you should do decent. She has a huge curve 70 is a B and an 87 is an A.

Make sure you read the chapters and the online assignments each week. She does not do too well of a job teaching in the lectures. The curve is there because she is somewhat of a difficult teacher. Also goes through the lectures quick and never lets you leave early.

This class is easy. Never went to class, studied a bit for tests and did well. If you did well in high school econ, this will be easy. Online portion is really easy. She does a decent job of explaining the concepts in her lectures, that is, she did when I actually went to class...

I would suggest taking another class because this one you have to study a lot and do online assignments every week.

The lectures are really boring, and the tests are just as hard. the class avg. for the final was a 49%...it was curved though. The online work was easy but its only 2/9ths of your grade. Only have 2, 50 min classes per week which was nice.

Such an easy class. I suspect that people are complaining because they didn't study for the tests. 85% = A The tests aren't that hard provided that you study and doing the online assignments (with a conscious effort) will help. If you're not willing to learn the material, don't take this class.

I took the hybrid course, and she was always behind on the syllabus. There are 3 midterms and a final, which is cumulative after so many midterms. Her class is quite hard, and some questions on the tests are unexpected and hard. Attendance is not mandatory, sticking to Aplia can help a lot if you don't go to class. I relied on Aplia more than her!

I took the hybrid course with her. Her mid terms were easy since it's in class lecture. Final was cumulative and tough. Online assignments were really easy and helped you to understand class materials.

don't buy the book! just take notes. curve is massive and i love it! easy class, great teacher! must take!

I thought this teacher was fantastic.A its 85%. go to class, take notes, read the chapter over and you'll get it. Its easy! I thought the class was interesting and Prof. Grobar is very helpful, just shoot her an email. 3 midterms,one cumlative final, & aplia online weekly assignments. It is NOT a hard class and only people who don't study fail!

This professor is amazing. VERY helpful when you have questions. She goes over everything so many times you have no choice but to remember it, and she includes this Aplia thing that makes everything make so much more sense, and lets you practice a lot. I didn't even get the book and got an EASY A. Take her!! And try to get the hybrid class for sure

she's very smart and knows alot about econ. if you wanna do well, just make sure you do the aplia assignments online very well. Go to class, because she randomly checks attendance and it counts for part of your grade; go in for office hours and/or study practice tests for the exams.you should be fine :)

THIS LADY IS SEXY. LOL. She is a great teacher and she grades in a curve. Show up to class follow the notes and do the online assignments and you'll be fine. She's great at explaining things and keeps it simple. Her pace is moderate, not too slow or too fast. She is very helpful and encourages dialogue in the class.

Loved this class. I was a little disappointed because I would have gotten an A had it not been that Aplia was worth so much. Other than that great class and I recommend it. Read the book, do Aplia (on time!) and attend class and you should do fine

Very knowledgeable and uses real life and professional experiences to discuss class materials. Very insightful. The APLIA quizzes were quite a downer but over-all ok. Highly recommended!

Lectures are boring, but her notes are helpful. Aplia online homework is due every Friday. 3 midterms, 1 final; her tests are alright, but final is hard. Grades on a curve (85=A), which boosts your grade up one letter. Her class isn't an easy A, but it's definitely passable.

I definitely recommend this teacher. She curves exams. She drops 1 exam score and two lowest hw scores. Her midterm questions are pretty easy. Don't read the book, study for midterms by doing practice problems and graded problems in aplia and studying the lecture notes.

Here is key to success in the class.When aplia hw is due fri,instead of doing it on fri, do at the beg of week sunday. Do practice prob and graded prob before coming to class on mon so that you can understand the mon and wed lecture. On thurs and fri,study her lecture notes and redo practice problems& graded problems on aplia.Start early to suceed.

Sort of a difficult class. One of the exams is based on an economic novel so its like an english class where you gotta read the book to do well on the essay exams (really? come on). *EXTREMELY HARD GRADER* Will take huge points off for the littlest mistakes. I wouldn't take this if I were you but then again some are doing well in my class so...

Go to class and take notes! Go home and study it. She does a massive curve in the class! I went from a B to an A! I recommend using the textbook and doing the practice aplia assignments early so you know what areas you need to work on! Easy to pass! Best of luck!

Got a D on first exam, got c on second exam, got d on first exam, got a c on final exam. But she drops one midterm score. Got a overall B in the class. Amazing or what? Just do the homework at least.

midterms - easy( as long as you study her notes and read the book which is free online ) btw she drops your lowest midterm score aplia hw- easy

Had a good time in this class. The lectures were only an hour long which made it bearable. Online textbook which I never used. She drops the lowest midterm and two Aplia assignments. Tests are a bit difficult and are hard to study for. Overall take this class because of the light workload and the fairly easy material.

pretty easy class however the final is cumulative, also there are in-class assignments so i recommend attending every class. if you have a genuine interest in econ it'll be an easy A! plus you will learn a lot of useful things!

Tests covered pretty much everything that was in the FREE ONLINE TEXTBOOK (awesome, I know). Read the textbook and make sure you understand the basics and how to apply them!! The class is just a bunch of axioms that build on themselves with a bit of logic. I got an A even though I didn't go to class just by reading the book. Very clear teaching!

I have never liked econ, but this professor made it interesting. She was very clear in lectures, everything that is on the tests is covered from notes in class or the online homework. Drops lowest exam and 2 lowest online assignments, curves slightly if you improve on every test. Overall pretty easy class just do the homework and GO to lectures

I took the class 100% online. I had gotten an A all along the class until after taking the final where my grade dramatically went down to a B. No in person office hours was quite a challenge.

Great professor. She uses class time soo wisely. Curves like crazy.

This professor is very challenging and I do not recommend her. There is no study guide and she teaches you a large sum of material that won't be on the test. Aplia(Online HW) is fair, but not easy, only worth 2/9 of your grade. 2 of the 3 Midterms count towards your grade and there is a cumulative final. There is a heavy curve, which helps.

She was a great professor. Definitely knew what she was talking about. Online homework through Aplia is mandatory and she curves greatly.

Took the Hybrid class. 3 Exams and 1 Final. Exam questions are similar to the Aplia homework questions. Attendance not mandatory but is very helpful

It's not the hardest of the econ classes, but it's a lot of work!

She has the biggest curves on the three tests, especially the final. No papers. It was a 50 minute class, so she would use every minute of it. weekly online homework assignments. she was pretty easy to understand. pretty good teacher overall, not so bad.

This was a hybrid class. The lecture and powerpoints followed the text so it was easy to study the harder to understand concepts. Economics wasn't easy for me but I got a B. She was willing to change the weight of the final if it would help the final grade. She wants to se the student succeed. Good instructor.

Hybrid class. Homework was due twice a week and material was based on lecture videos posted online. Exams are a bit tough, but she does curve based on class average. She posts additional math problems that are helpful. I ended with a B

Great Professor. We had to read 2 books, but they were easy reading. She is very helpful and really wants you to do well in class. Respects students and is very dedicated to making sure that you get the material. Definitely would take again!

Great professor! Cares about students, gives great feedback. Interesting class. She has in depth knowledge of the material and gives real life examples. Highly recommend.

ATTENDANCE NOT MANDATORY. Class is graded out of 9. HW -2/9, midterm - 4/9, and final - 3/9. HW is due weekly on online website (SAPLING) which costs $40, but the online textbook comes with it. Tests are medium difficulty and similar to the online HW. Tests are graded on CURVE : 85+ A, 70-84 B, 60-69 C, 50-59 D, and are 100% MULTIPLE CHOICE.

Super nice professor, lectures are great and relatable. You will defiantly not regret taking her class!

Great professor. Really cares about the students. Doesn't take attendance, and doesn't get upset like most professors when you show up late to an exam. Curves all of the exams. Overall she is really down to earth and cool.

Professor Grobar is honestly one of the best professors I've had this semester. She's very specific in her lectures and she'll answer any questions you give. There are 3 midterms, one final, and possibly extra credit assignments! As a hybrid class, there is weekly online homework. Her tests are fairly easy if you attend lectures.

Lisa is a good economics professor. She knows what she is talking about and wants to help students to pass the class. I had her for macro-economics, which is a tough class and passed. She does her best to help students prepare for the tests. However, her political views do become apparent throughout the class which is not good. Would recommend her.

I had to work hard in this class but was able to pass with an A. There are no study guides for exams so my technique was going over past assignments, key terms, and PPTs, which can be a bit stressful as some PPTs had over 50 slides. I recommend going to her office hours to clarify any topics before the exam. Overall great professor and class!
