Hahaha. Well I agre that looks like she wrote that herself, im actually sure she did! Anyways, none-the-less I found her to be an excellent prof.

Great teaching style & attitude. Very willing to help outside of class although amount of work was more than necessary for this kind of stuff(assignment or quiz every week). Course material was still uninteresting in the end but what can ya do about econometrics. Anyway, great prof all around.

I agree the assignments were kind of overload, but they were by no means hard! Quizzes and tests were fair - pretty easy actually. Very approachable. Great teacher!

Great prof with great notes and good teaching style!

A pretty good prof. Very helpful and actually cares that her students learn and do well. Assignments were easy, as were the midterms. Final was a little harder and long. I don't think anybody finished it. Everyone was still trying to write like mad when there was 30 seconds left of exam time. Still, take this class from her, it's worth it.

She uses the textbook's powerpoint slides. She doesn't create her own notes. She reads directly from the slides. The material is very dry. Emphasis on dry. The only time worth going to class is when she's going to give a practice miderm/final when she gives out the answer. Just read the textbook. And ask her questions during office hours.

I thought this class was so bad. Terrible really. Absolutely NO relevance to economics. Plus it is so boring it makes you want to cry. I know its required, but do yourself a favor take it with someone else. Its actually easy but....Her voice will haunt you in your dreams!

Fairly bland lecturer, but she definitely knows her stuff. Perfectly possible to get a good mark in the course by avoiding class altogether and just going from the textbook and slides.

Pretty easy class. Lectures are really boring since she just goes over the powerpoint slides. There's really no point in acturally going to class. She gives you 10 aplia assignments instead of 5 like the other classes which is a little annoying. Do the assignments and you should have no problem with this class. Id say take it with Tracy if you can!

Miles is very straight forward when she explains things, its almost impossible not to understand what she is talking about. Bout half the class decided not to come to the lectures, but I kept going just to reinforce the ideas that were presented in the textbook. She also trys hard to make class entertaining at times, by playing little games with th

She is very nice. I found it hard to pay attention during her lectures, but when I did, it was helpful. One on one questions during the tutorial or office hours were very clear and helpful. LONG TESTS. I needed to study the textbook a lot to succeed in this course. The powerpoint slides made for a nice review when studying.

I thought she was an overall ok instructor. I definitly improved my computer-econ efficiency by thaking this class. Miles was always willing to help students out with problems during and outside of class time. The biggest negative is the high grading skill she has for all her courses.

I love this pro so much! She explains everything very clearly n willing to help students either through emails or in person. I learn a lot in her class. She is so kind. Love her. I recommand u to take her classes.

Prof Miles is a good prof but her lectures are pretty boring. Don't need worry about making notes because the powerpoint notes she posts are good. Assignments, midterm and final are pretty easy if you read the notes and understand it.

She was awesome and very very helpful. If you have to take this class she is the one to take it with!

This class was boring, but the prof was very good. Helpful and easy to understand.

proff. miles is one of the most boring proff ever but at the same time she is very good at teaching. Very clear and easy to understand. her lec notes are good so you don't need to make notes. to do good in midterm and final make sure to do practice exam questions more than half of the questions are exactly the same in exams.

Her voice will annoy you but she is extremely helpful and always willing to answer your questions. Posts online study guides before each test that was very helpful. You will have to work hard in the class to do well, since there is an assignment or midterm basically every week.

The class isn't engaging and by the midterms half the class stops coming. The online practice quizzes, the book and the slides are your best friends in this course

This prof is AMAZING! a very hard class, but if your an econ major its something you gotta face. take it with her. She explains very well and is available for questions. I went in praying for a B- knowing how hard the class was going to be. I owe my "A" to her. GREAT PROF!

Good Prof. Boring class

Through her detailed notes, relevant practice problems, and consistent effort to be available to students outside of class time, Dr. Miles makes up for certain deficiencies in teaching style. I would recommend Econ 311 to any student--Econ or otherwise--as its utilization of Excel is incredibly beneficial in the workplace.

She is always willing to help students. First midterm is very similar to the practice test. We did not have practice tests for second midterm or the final. But she prepared the class pretty well, and go through the study guide and do those practice questions. You will not regret it!

She may not be the best lecturer out there, but she always available for help. Her exam questions are somewhat similar to the assignments and practices.

Great course, she teaches you everything you need to do well on the midterm and final.

Of all the sections to take 395 with, Miles is your best bet in order to pass this course and have a reasonable understanding of what you're learning. If you go to every class, take the time to do each assignment and attend PASS sessions, you cannot fail. Just be prepared to take on a heavy statistical work load; so don't have other heavy courses.

Even if you are not familiar with Excel, Dr. Miles goes the extra mile to make sure you understand everything that is going on class. Assignments were fair overall (second one was the hardest) and the midterms were somewhat difficult. Final was surprisingly easy if you knew most of the stuff she did in class.

If you can get past her annoying voice and bad attitude she's really good. Don't focus on the slides in class just listen to her and copy down what she puts on the blackboard and then look at the slides for review. Text and questions really help.

Super easy class I would recommend it to anyone. Plus you only need an 85% for an A in the course. Prof Miles is very helpful and responds to all questions. She cares about your well-being as is willing to do whatever to help you achieve your goals in the course. Highly recommend taking her class.

Good prof. Lectures are boring, but slides come online so you dont have to go. Uses slides and textbook for aplia assignments. Her voice is annoying but she is nice and willing to help students. Midterm and final were easy and similar to the practice ones. If you can't get tracy shes not bad choice.

Great proff explains stuff well lectures are not terrible but may seem a little dry overall great prof would take a class again with her!!!! Tip if your really bored in her class bring a tablet and play games.

Miles Econ 201 class is super easy. Attendance is not mandatory, just study her powerpoint slides and you will be more than prepared. Respond quickly to emails and is quite helpful in office hours. I strongly suggest not going to class, her voice is annoying and it not useful. Good easy prof though.

Follows the textbook and companion slides almost exactly. She has a really high, grating voice and her lectures aren't very interesting. It got difficult to pay attention later in the semester. BUT study the slides, textbook, and practice exams and you will be totally prepared for her tests. Fairly easy prof, would recommend overall.

Marian speaks and talks to the class slowly like we are kids. She will help you if go see her. She does some examples but it is way better to go to PASS session where you do lots of practice questions. First midterm is fairly easy, second one and final are harder. Tons of theory to know. Study assignment questions rigorously.

Highly recommended to take 395 with. She explains concepts very well and in depth so you can understand the tremendous amount of theory. She is extraordinarily helpful.

Professor Miles is clear with explaining concepts and extremely kind and helpful if approached after class or during office hours. Her lectures cover mostly theory, would highly recommend attending lecture. Tons of resources posted on blackboard. PASS sessions are probably the most helpful thing for ECON 395. Would recommend to take with Miles.

If you must take 395, take it with Marian and Marian only. She is a pure genius who will do anything in her power to help out her student. This is a tricky course but she makes her availability flexible so students can see her when needed. Great prof, I'd definitely take more courses with her!

I took this course in the spring, heavy course load. 5 assignments and 1 midterm in a 6 week period. Miles will do anything to help you out though. 40% theory 60% math. No PASS sections so lecture is very important. Tests are straight forward and very easy if you know your stuff. No trick questions. Only prof you should take 395 with

She is an amazing prof! Take her for as many courses possible! As an econ major, I find that she really explains the theories and concepts in-depth, isn't the one who gives you the min to pass. 395 was not an easy course (PASS is mandatory!) but she was there to help the whole time. I took 311 in the spring and she made everything so easy.

Marian was extremely helpful for this class. While the lecture was dry and confusing at some times, she made everything very clear in her office hours. Assignments are difficult.Heavy course load, 5 assigments and one midterm and final in the spring semester, I would recommend taking this class in spring and make it the only class in spring.

Very good and fine to look at

Marian is a decent prof. She is there for help if you need it, responds to emails quickly, and marks the midtermfinal within 24 hours. Her lecture can be a little boring, but the notes on D2L are useful, in case you miss a class or don't understand something.

Her lectures are fine for the first while, but eventually it becomes impossible to pay attention because she speaks so slowly and without emotion. Doesn't use her own powerpoint, reads off the slides and doesn't have a consistent pace. After a month i went to class but didn't pay attention at all, but 201 is super easy and the textbook is good.

Read the textbook or listen in lectures (Especially near the end). She's a really straight forward prof; she tells you what is specifically on the test and what you need to focus on. The assignments are rather lengthy (40Questions each 4 assignments). The tests are easy if you pay attention and STUDY hard! Should be an easy A.

She is great! She replies to your email really quickly and also tries her best to help students. However, her lectures are somewhat useless and I studied basically by myself for the tests. I still recommend her though

Awesome prof, really helpful, really clear and all around just a wonderful person. The class isn't easy, you have to work for it, and you'll get a good grade if you do

I enjoyed my semester with Prof. Miles. She teaches you straight from the official lecture notes of the textbook. Her pace is slow, her explanations are crystal clear. Assignments are easy and are worth 30% of the final mark. Everything in the course is multiple choice. I never needed any help outside the lectures. She made the course very easy.

This wasn't a very exciting class but she was very helpful if you ever needed to ask her a question and gave clear answers back. In class she went over the important info and good examples. She didn't give hints but she only taught what was on the exams. Exams were decently easy.

Super easy, good real world skills

Marian is an extremely good professor. Having had her now for ECON201/311/395/495 I can say her slow pacing allows for complete understanding of very difficult concepts. ECON495 is an extremely hard class, and she is always available for assistance and help. Gives very good feedback on assignments, and extremely clear for material on exams.

Amazing professor, always explains everything in detail and goes over material to make sure everyone understands.

Marian is an awesome teacher who really knows her stuff. She is extremely approachable and will readily offer help whenever necessary. The only downfall to her is that she relies on some crappy slides when just her teaching would be a lot more effective. Otherwise, a great proff.

Loved her as a person, very nice and helpful lady. However, lectures weren't always very engaging and I would end up teaching myself. But, do pay attention to in-class examples as they really help. She sometimes gives surprise opportunities for extra credit for those who attend class. Notes are on D2L and assignments are on Mindtap (need subscrip.)

This course is harder than you might expect but it is so worth it. Marian knows everything there is to know about excel and is great at answering questions and responding to emails. I learned so much and it was all thanks to Marian. She is very student-oriented while respecting prof-student boundaries. This is the only reason some find her aloof.

This isn't an easy course but Marian teaches so well. We covered so much very thoroughly. We always over studied for her very fair exams. Though there were 5 mandatory assignments, they weren't as challenging and time consuming as in 395. Stick together and ask lots of questions. This is a must-take course for anyone who wants to be an economist

Very knowledgeable prof, will give you practice midterms and finals, and some of the questions from the test are taken straight from these practice tests. Even though she is kinda boring to listen to, but if you do the assignments (which are long) and practice tests you should do fine, all notes are online also. Final wasn't bad. Good prof overall.

Easy, but not as easy as I expected. She's the only economics professor who uses Desire2Learn properly, which is pretty nice.

Great prof, goes through all the material thoroughly in class so you barely have to study. Easy A if you just show up and listen during lectures

Dr Miles is pretty good. Her lectures are sometimes dry but that's because the course is pretty straight forward and doesn't require that much explanation. I would still advise to attend class for a while and see if you like her instructing style. Midterm is pretty easy, however the assignments are long. The final is fair and requires some studying

Marian is a good choice for this class. She is nice and grading is fair. Lectures can get boring, and are skip-able if you put in the effort outside of class. She is a bit boring but this is offset by the ease of the course. Make sure you study the online quizzes/assignments in order to prepare for the tests.

This course was homework-heavy and the Mindtap assignments took a huge amount of time. That said, Prof. Miles is respectful and replies to emails promptly. Tests are fair. Studying hard is a must and there's a lot of work involved. However, there are not many "tricky" or ambiguous questions on tests.

Not an easy course and not an easy A. However, this is university so students complaining about workload should get a clue. Prof. Miles is a sweetheart and cares about students. Very organized with D2L and class material. Lectures are optional, grade based heavily on your 1 midterm and 1 final so hopefully you don't get sick those days.

As an econ major, I'm so glad I took ECON 395 with Marian. She made some of the most difficult material I've ever encountered accessible and clear - which is no easy feat, since this course is a HUGE step up in difficulty from any previous econ/stats courses. If you attend every lecture and go to PASS, there's absolutely no reason you can't excel.

Marian is a great professor! It is clear that she genuinely cares about the success of her students and she is willing to go out of her way to help anyone. The material covered in the course is quite dry, but thats not her fault. She does her best to keep things interesting! Would highly recommend!

She is overall a good prof. TBH I thought the lectures were kinda boring but they were very informational, and she will go over things if you don't understand. However, you would be fine just reading the textbook and not going to class. Practice midterms are like the real one so that is very helpful! overall I would take another of her classes.
