She is very nice if you actually approach her. Once you get pass her accent, her lectures are actually quite useful. Tests are not too bad.

Midterm was awfully difficult; average was 61 (which she curved to a B-). Final was easier, probably because she feared a similar curve. Moderate accent that's sometimes hard to understand. She makes homework assignments and practice tests that are VERY similar to the exams, which is quite helpful.

I think she is a good professor overall. The lecture is very easy to understand. She makes very nice graphs. Her midterm was long, and I didnt have enough time to finish it.

Easy, unless you have difficulty with addition and following directions, then I could see how it could be a real challenge.

She is having my baby! j/k, she is avery nice person and definetly knows the material well. she will provide you with enough info to do well in the exams. the T.A is a dick. some people were having a hard time understanding her accent. i will take her again

midterm kinda long, but otherwise easy class with a helpful teacher, no suprises on anything that was graded

Everything was very straightforward. Yes, the first midterm was a bit long, but the finally was quite simple. She is a very nice professor and tries her best to help everyone. She would not be my first choice for a professor, but I wouldn't exactly run from her either.

The professor is nice but the tests were ****ing hard!!!

Midterms were a bit long, but I personally thought she was a really good professor. Kept lectures relatively interesting. The accent didn't bother me much. just make sure you do her practice tests

Candido is really helpful, mainly because this was her first time teaching the course. The material is relatively easy and you'll barely need to study if you go to class and take good notes.

She's a very nice lady. Explains things in great detail. But hard to really pay attetion to her lecture. The tests are too long. Course material is very easy, but difficult to score high in class in general.

She's so cute and very fashionable. She's a good professor, but I think she takes on too much. She always seems rushed and scatterbrained sometimes. Overall, good professor and good class.

She's very nice and helpful. I'm astonished at the bad ratings, because her tests are very straight forward and if you do the homework, it's an easy A. If you are confused, go to her office hours as she is very nice and explains things very clearly.

She does have an accent, and there is no struggle to understand her. Her midterm is representative of the material that she teaches. She actually cares about the student, and will negotiate w/ the class for extra credit. I highly recommend this prof.. This class is easy. For one, I have attended about 5 lectures and received an A- on the midterm.

I understood her lectures and the material in the book completely but didn’t do so well on tests so the things you will see on the tests will be different from what is discussed. The material was interesting and the computer work was a great way to learn but expect the unexpected on tests.

This class is pretty easy. She explains the material at a much simpler level than other professors. Her midterms are pretty much like the practice, except for usually one or two questions that come out of nowhere. She doesn't answer emails though, so make sure you catch her before or after class. I'd recommend her as a professor.

This professor is very helpful for those of us who do not mind participating in lecture. If you prefer taking a passive role in class, be sure to get your questions answered in her office hours, which are very helpful. Her tests are very straightforward; you must study..

This professor is just blah. I almost never went to class because we reviewed 120A for the first 5 weeks and then barely got to any material for the class. She isn't intimidating and has low expectations of her students, so she's approachable. The tests are basically like the homework, go to class because while she isn't good, the book is worse.

Professor Candido is straightforward. If you do her practice problems, understand the book, and do homework carefully, there should be few surprises, unless econ just isn't your thing. She made her exams shorter this quarter, when we switched textbooks. Recommended; she especially likes teaching ECON2 and does it fairly well. But you have to study.

Prof. Candido is the best prof. I've had here and not because of her lectures, but bc of her approachability. She skips lunch to answer questions and has no qualms about it. Her problem sets are reflective of the tests and if you go to class she is talkative and responsive. It was my third quarter w/her, and I recommend her for econ2, 120a and 120b

Lectures are easy. Maria has low expectations of her students. ASK QUESTIONS AND GET TO KNOW HER... it got me my A+

Shes a great teacher. very straightforward. Study her lecture notes and do problem sets and you will be fine. She is very nice in office hours. I got an A for both econ 120 a and econ 120b.

One of the best professors at UCSD

lectures are painfully boring, sometimes hard to understand through her accent. although i do admit that she's a really nice person and will definitely try to help you if you ask any questions.

she is very boring!! its so sad tat wen she asks question in class, no body answers her cuz no one pays attention...shes writes very little, so sit in the front. her midterms are okay, but the way she words her questions are kind of hard to understand, the class is pretty easy, but the final is kind of hard..

Awesome teacher. Lectures extremely slowly and makes sure the class understands before she moves in. Easy class, Take it shes awesome.

Her lectures were sometimes pointless and boring but the class is pretty easy. Tests weren't that bad and discussions weren't needed.

Very nice and willing to help you during office hours; get to know her! If you attend lecture, do all the practice problems, and read the textbook you will pass the class with a good grade. If Aren is holding the discussion section, definitely go!

This prof has very good intentions and cares enough about her students. Her accent isn't bad at all. Her lectures and class are very cohesive. You remember everything and she makes everything tie in together nicely. Only had to take 1-2 days before exams to study.

She is a nice and patience professor. Her accent is just alittle bit bad, but just listen to her carefully her lecture is very helpful with understanding the material.Test is not extreme hard but you have to really study for it.

She is a great professor and really cares about her students. The tests can be hard sometimes but she always has a fair curve.

She is the cutest professor ever! Very helpful and genuinely cares about us learning. You don't need the book, just go to lecture and take notes and you'll be fine. Midterms were ok, final was a bit hard but I'm hoping the curve will help me.

Lectures are basically solving problems, and the exams are these problems plus a few multiple choice. Homework is Aplia, which is tricky, but it won't kill your grade. Curve isn't that generous but if you know your stuff you can still do well.

She is a really helpful prof. Although she has Portuguese accent, its easy to get used to, and its not difficult to understand her. I have taken her for a couple of courses now, and I definitely recommend her! I love her style of lecturing, it makes it easy to take notes. I also love her style of grading. there's 2options and you can drop a midterm

very easy class. Go to lecture and take good notes and you will never have to read the textbook. Her lectures are very clear and will tell you all you need to know for exams.The midterm and final were very very similar to the practice ones so do them and you will get a good grade for sure!!

Took her for 120C and 110B. She's a very clear lecturer who explains concepts very well. She doesn't try to trick you on tests (though her multiple choice can be a bit tricky) and her testing and grading styles are very straightforward. I would recommend her over many of the other econ professors.

Professor Candido is without a doubt, the best professor I have ever had at UCSD. She actually cares so much about her students' learning, which is extremely rare in the econ department. Her tests are always fair (but her multiple choice has always been killer). I have taken her for 120B, 120C, and 110B and she has consistently been amazing!!

She is awesome!! So easy. Got an A+ and never went to class. Just do the practice problems and your set for the midterms. I love her.

Class can get very slow at times, so slow that you hear shuffling a few minutes before class ends. However, Candido is extremely sweet and very approachable. Not a difficult class if you put in some effort. Gives lots of materials (old exams, chapter reviews) that you can use to study. If you do them (which most people dont) you can easily get an A

Extremely kind professor. Very understanding and easy to talk to. One prob with her class is that her exams tend to be very lengthy. I suggest not thinking too much and answerings the questions as quickly as you can.

Practice exams represent the midterm and final, but the multiple choice section is very tricky.

Professor Candido showed a lot of heart when she was giving her lectures or explaining the course concepts in her office hours. In my opinion, that was a very laudable teaching quality. So I recommend her.

Went to every lecture, did every homework, practice midterm, final, got an A. Material is pretty straightforward once you get exposed to enough of it (patterns everywhere). Candido lays things out well in lecture, tests are basically same as practice (with a few small twists, of course), and she's really nice.

Good Professor. Everyone else rating her doesn't know what they are talking about. Her exams are all fair. I have had her for 110B, 120B, and I am taking 120C with her. All I needed for the tests were lecture notes. Didn't use the book once.

I had this professor first for 120A and she really gave me a better understanding of probability. 110B, her explanations were not as clear, but she was always more than willing to help in office hours. Very nice, and a fairly good test writer as well, not too hard, not to easy. Probably just needs to work on organizing her lecture better.

I love this professor. I took her 120A. I missed half quarter's lecture and even didn't understand many concepts and caculations on the night before the final, but the practice midterm and final really saved me every time. How the practice exam was like, how the real exam was. Luckily I got an A and alost got an A+.

She is an awesome professor! She is always prepared in class and is more than willing to answer questions after class! Actually focus in class, take notes well, do the problem sets and get questions answered early, and you'll do well!

Make sure to supplement lecture with the book! If you read the book, you don't even have to go to lecture since her lecture (even examples) come from the book. She offers a lot of practice problems, homework, and practice exams that help TREMENDOUSLY. Exams are basically the same thing! Great prof and super nice!

She presents the material well and gives examples that she will use on the tests (but just a bit different) and her homework was fairly easy. The multiple choice portions of her tests were similar to the HW too. The book isn't really necessary, but comes in handy when you can't google something right away. Oh, and do the sample tests

Extremely nice professor and will go above and beyond to help you during office hours. The lectures can be kind of confusing because it's very theoretical and there are not many real world examples used (not entirely her fault, 120C is very theoretical). Her tests are fair but the grading is tough. You'll lose points for the smallest errors.

Excellent professor. She is extremely passionate about the subject matter which shows in her lectures. Definitely not a class you can afford to skip class. Her lectures are very clear and the accompanying PowerPoint slides are very helpful. Definitely my favorite Economics professor so far.

Nice professor. A lot of people don't go to class and you'll suffer if you don't. Just by attending class, you'll beat the curve. It's easy to get lost in lecture so pay close attention. Tests are fair.

Her lecture notes organized and clear, BUT SHE isn't. She often will do things and not explain to the class; however, if you ask she'll help. Midterms were easy, but final not so much. Bottom-line, if you can learn by yourself, all the materials are there for you. If you need to be spoon-fed, hope the TA's are very helpful

She's the cutest human being in the entire world. I hate STATA though, so that part was really awful. She repeats herself in a clear fashion which makes up for her not-so-clear handwriting. The concepts stick to you with her and her midtermexams are fair.

Professor Candido is probably one of the better Econ lecturers at UCSD.

She is very nice, but she has a little trouble with time management. Other than that, standard. 2 midterms, 1 final.

Very patient and kind prof! However, if you cannot tolerate to read sloppy handwriting notes, don't take her.

Nice professor for people who work hard and attend class. I love the way she makes the test: hard but not insanely hard. The test can easily distinguish hard working students and those who skipped class and just go to EconTutor. She is a nice professor indeed. I have already taken three of her class: ECON 110A 110B 120A. I really enjoy her lectures

This class is not hard but you definitely need to study in order to do well. Her lectures are very well-organized and her notes are very helpful. Her exams are very long, especially the two midterms. You have to be really familiarized with the materials in order to completely finish the exams. She is kind and nice. Study hard and you will do well.

Very nice woman. She gives clear lectures and the exams are long but fair. Although there is no mandatory homework, you have to really spend time to do well in her class.

One of my fave profs I've had at UCSD. It's obvs shes rlly passionate abt the material & wants her students to understand & get a good intuition of what she teaches. Really great professor, I learned a lot. Easy class as well, only 3 homeworks and can resubmit however many times up to the deadline. Exams are reflective of practice material.

One of my favorite professors I had in the ECON Department. She is super nice and passionate on the subject matter. I learned so much in this class. She also stops in the middle of lecture to make sure that everyone understands what is going on. Warning: Her exams are long, but the questions are fair. Overall, I would take her again.

110B is definitely not an easy class. To do well, you should attend lectures and do problem sets and practice exams. There is curve. Professor Candido cares her students and want us to do well.

Great Professor! Took her for the Macro Econ series and loved it. She is really caring and loves to explain things. Came out of a higher paid job at Wall Street to just lecture.

Professor Candido is great! Took 110 B with her, and you can definitely get an A if you put a little effort, just go over the problem sets. I usually don't buy the books for any of my econ classes, but it was pretty helpful when studying for the tests. Overall, she is super sweet and approachable. Would definitely recommend her

Prof. Candido trully cares about her students. She is well organized and gives you everything you need to succeed. You still need to do the work, duh...

I found the lectures a little boring so I started missing class. She does move a little slow in lectures, but don't let that stop you from going because she goes over problems that you will see on exams and you will possibly be confused trying to solve them by yourself. She is very caring and wants everyone to understand the material.

Not really sure why professor Candido got such a low rating. She really cares about your learning. It is true she goes a bit slow but I don't mind since this just prepares me better for 110B and C. Also, I had dropped 110A before with another professor so I can make a comparison. She does a lot better in explaining the concepts.

Took 3 classes with Prof Candido. 110A, 110B, 120A. Explains concepts really well. Really wants us to do well and nice. Exams are tough in that she'll give you 40+ questions within 50 min time frame, which is hard to do if you don't know the material well enough but doable if you do. really depends on amount of effort you put in the class

Decent amount of homework for econometrics but I like it better because the class isn't graded on only exams and is good practice for the exams as well

I took 110A with another professor and bombed the midterms because there was such a huge difference between classes, problem sets, textbook, and the tests. Candido's tests are somewhat similar to prior tests and problem sets

Took the online course. Material was really easy, but she was accessible outside of class and seemed eager to help students. Tests are straightforward and easy as long as you either attended lecture or took notes on the side. Same with the homework.

Her exams are not difficult and she do curves generously. She's kind and she explains everything clearly, but sometimes this makes her lectures boring.

I've taken Dr. Candido for ECON110A and ECON110B. She can go slow at times, but she tries to be clear when explaining different topics. Several examples and real life connections are provided. Most lectures involve slideshows, while some involve her working through things on her iPad. Tests are closed-notes, but curved generously. Would recommend.

Doesn't hand out any homework at all for the Econ 110 series, but she does release weekly problem sets to help you reinforce the concepts you learn during the week. She grades you only on tests, but her curves are extremely generous (around 40% to get a C). Though her lectures may be tough to grasp, please be as kind to her as she is with you.

I don't know why Professor Candido gets such a low rating. She really cares about her students and her lectures and slides are very clear. If you go to class and study before the exam, you are pretty much guaranteed an A-.

No homework or attendance required. Generally, if you follow the professor's pace in lectures, you can get an A.

I'm not sure why she gets rated so poorly. I feel that if you make the effort to go to class, you'll do fine. She helped me when I was struggling and was supportive. Although her tests are super hard, the curves are very helpful. I would take her again because she is very personable.

10% stata hw. There are three, you have unlimited attempts. It could be difficult for beginners. 25% for each midterm. 50% final. The tests are fair overall. There are MC questions and short answer questions. The average scores are pretty high, so the curve is not super nice. There are two ways of calculating your total grade, can drop a midterm.

25% midterm 1 25% midterm 2 40% final 10% hw. Homework has multiple attempts, 3 in total, kind of easy. Can drop lowest midterm, but your final will be 55%, your best final will be 35%. Taken both 120b and 120c with her. Overall, this course is not super difficult.

Explained the concepts thoroughly. Exams are fair and representative of material covered in class. Would recommend.

Maria is one of the sweetest person I ever met. Her lectures are recorded. She has 2 midterms and a final which are all curved. Her canvas is easy to navigate, where she posts practice tests that are similar to what she will test on. her OH are in person and on zoom. The Stata hw is a bit tedious, but the TA's and herself are always there to help.

Very sweet teacher. She goes over the material in good detail and it's easy to understand as long as you're following along. Would recommend her highly!

She is so kind and curves beautifully. No way you can fail her class

Professor Candido is a good professor if you take the time to attend in-person lectures and see her explain the reasoning behind statistical concepts. The homework isn't difficult as long as you follow her tentative schedule of topics. As for the assessments, they're extremely lengthy but manageable, just as you do the practice material offered.

Was very considerate of my situation for missing to midterms because of some emergency and made sure if I do good on final to at least pass me. Very nice professor. Clear instruction in class & explains in very detail goes over only 10 slides in a lec. Just attend lectures, hw and practice midterm then its an easy A. I got a A on the final so

applied math major, taking this course for fun and to boost my gpa! typical easy ECON course for STEM major students. hope more math people can take this class and happily boost their gpa

Professor Candido's class can be challenging, but with dedication it's manageable. Attend lectures, do the homework, and use resources like Unstuck ai - that really helped me prepare for the assessments. Overall, a rewarding experience.

I've taken Candido twice now (120A & B). After 120A, which I took as a 2nd year, I wasn't super happy, thought the class was too hard, and that she taught too quickly. I took 120B as a 4th year, and had a totally different experience! She's a very driven, smart, and passionate prof. I joined OH once to get to know her. Love her. Fair tests, min hw.

Took Candido for 120A and 120B. Very nice lady, super test-heavy but curves nicely. Posts previous finals and midterms for studying.

Easy course. Opportunity for extra credit by going to lecture. Practice exams are given that look like the real exams. Lectures aren't super helpful but you can learn from the slides pretty easily and lectures are recorded.

Professor Candido is the best economics professor at UC San Diego. I have taken three classes with her. Her instructions on econometrics are super clear. And she is always willing to help her students.

Professor Candido is my favorite lecturer at the economics department at UC San Diego. Her 120A class is not hard in general. It helped me build a solid foundation for statistics and future econometrics classes.

Professor Candido's ECON 110A class is very clear on the analysis of different long-term macroeconomic models and their applications. She is willing to help her students all the time and very responsive.
