She's intimidating at first, VERY FUNNY, talk to her and ask A LOT OF Q's!

Easiest class ever. So much EXTRA CREDIT, you can get a 70 on a test and have it turn out as a 100. Plus the extra credit is amazingly easy, take this class if you want A. The teacher herself is pretty nice and funny too.

easy A. funny, read the book and you'll be fine. tends to favor students, thick accent

Funniest professor alive....everyday there was somethign she did to laugh about...

I don't know why Rosser is receiving such low marks. She's a great teacher, funny, uses great examples, the only problem is that econ is such a difficult subject. She tells you what's on the test and tries hard to get you to succeed. I'd recommend her.

She definitely plays favorites, but doesn't let it affect class too much. Insane amounts of extra credit, but endless notes. Drink coffee and you'll be fine. She's hilarious too, probably the best time you can have studying econ.

incredibly knowledgeable woman. She has the life experience to back up nearly everything she talks about in class. If you dont' understand anything, just ask her before the test and she'll help out. Great sense of humor

macro is a hard course and i don't think she is the best professor to take. but she gives out a lot of extra credit and that saves your grade.

Great time. Readings were chanllenging but once you know what to look for you won't spend much time at all writing the weekly essay. She's one of the most knowledgeable professors in this school. Learned a lot, work is average for an econ class.

Very funny, helpful. You'll learn a lot.

Good class! Pretty easy! I still dont understand it but I have an A! Awesome extra credit oppuritunities. Yeah she is foreign, but very funny and nice!

if you try and listen, she's great! that means, don't be afraid to ask questions- she's totally approachable once you actually talk to her. if you go to office hours, she's always willing to help. people who don't like her just can't suck up their own poor habits.

She's one of the best profs I've ever hard! Explains material extremely well and if you are interested in the subject you'll do well. Not too hard compared to other econ classes. I would def recommend her if you wanna be challenged. Very, very intelligent woman!

I would def reccomend her. Macroeconomics is nitorious for its difficulty but she offers ludicris amounts of extra credit. Test one went from an 88% to a 103%. Test 2 went from an 80% to a 104%...Need I say more. You are also allowed to use a cheat sheet on every test and the final!!!

Funny smart woman. Read chapters before class and her lectures make perfect sense. Cheat sheets on test/quizes and lots of EXTRA CREDIT. Has an accent but only hard to understand if you don't know the material she is teaching. If you have trouble understand topics of econ, approach her/get a tutor

She was traded for 3 russian missiles to the United States because she was a valuable educational asset. If the State Department wanted her that bad, there must be good reason. They were right.

Rosser is a one impressive lady. Shes smart, cultured, and will cuss like a sailor sometimes! But all in all Ms. Rosser is very chill but challenging. Study for tests and quizes cause they are extra credit on your tests, no joke. + you get to make cheat cards for exams. Take her shes top shelf!

Don't listen to the people who tell you that she is a horrible teacher! This class is a challenge, but it's also macro, so it will be no matter what the teacher. She tries to make class funny to get through the boring material and if you do what she says and keep up with the reading, you can definately get an A or B. Take her! :)

Her accent is troublesome at times, but she does what she can in trying to make the class enjoyable. I suck at ECON and the material just killed me, but i ended pulling a C in the end. Does a lot to help you out by offering 4-point extra credit questions in class if you volunteer, which is huge.

The class was relatively easy, and lectures came straight from the book (because she and Barkley Rosser wrote it), so you really don't need to worry about buying the book unless you need a paperweight. Her accent can be troublesome at times, but a Russian accent is not that bad to understand.

She can be hard to understand but only if you are only half paying attention. she gives optional 10 point quizzes just to boost your grade test are not bad and with all the extra credit its no problem. She is hysterical and makes class fun.

Easy Class, Show up to all classes, pay attention, read the Chapter summary and you are gold. Maybe before the exam flip through the chapter but your CHEAT CARD FOR ALL EXAMS HELPS!!! good prof. but likes to cuss and talk about sex to "relate"

The subject itself can be difficult and confusing at times, but I found that Dr. Rosser really brought it to life in the classroom. She has an Eastern European accent, but once you get over that and accustom yourself to taking her notes, you'll be fine. She gives at least one quiz before each test, which counts as extra credit. I ended up with a B.

This teacher is not that hard. Go to the review sessions and read the book, and study for the test and you should do decent. Has a quiz in between test and adds it to your test grade. Also if you get a 100 on the 3rd test you can opt out of the final and not go to class the rest of the semester.

Great teacher who knows her stuff. She is difficult and really should be teaching at a much more prestigious place. That said, I loved her class because you really feel as though you earn the grade.

I took Gecon 200 and Econ 201 with her because she was an outstanding professor. In Gecon she understands that it's a General Education class and doesn't assume you already know much, which is good in econ. The grade was based entirely on tests, and she had good review sessions before the tests. If you test well, take her class.

Great teacher. Don't listen what others are saying. She is fair about her tests. We have 4 test including the final which are equally weighted. And the quizes we take don't count against your grade, but is Extra credit. If you really put time into studying you can get an A. If you slack off, consider getting a C- or D+.

Hardest class I've taken at JMU thus far, but I worked my butt off and managed to pass. Dr. Rosser seems like a hard ass in class, but if you go to her office hours, it's like your sweet grandmother is trying to teach you economics. She's very worldly, knowledgeable, never boring. Go to her office hours! Study your tests. Go to TA study sessions.

This class is hard, but most econ classes are. She is nice and very funny however you do need to rely on the book because she can be confusing. Grade is 3 tests and the final. They are hard but she offers lots of extra credit and does share some test questions. Macro will be hard but if you like learning from books this is good.No hw or attendence

I liked this professor. The review sessions are very helpful, many test/ quiz questions are pretty much given away there. She offers ALOT of extra credit. The quizes are all extra credit, plus, if you answer a question in class, she will give you 4 extra credit points on the test. If you are a logical thinker, this class will not be bad.

Rosser is an awesome professor! Shes a very interesting person and her personality alone makes her class worth taking. The material isnt the easiest but she tries to make it go as well as possible. Use the study guide and read the text. 3 tests and quizzes offer you bonus pts. I would take a class with her again!

She is nice and funny! She says some of the most interesting things about sex. I liked her and the material was very challenging but getting a study guide will help. She is approachable if you ever need help. I think the cheat cards were the best! Read the book and you will do fine! She is the best ECON teacher you will find.

Dr. Rosser is a great teacher and she awards extra credit all the time in class. She takes your best quiz grade and it becomes 20% of your final grade. Test can be somewhat tricky, but most of the time her practice set is very similar to the tests. Overall expect a B if you put in normal effort. An A is not impossible to get, but have to read to.

Dr. Rosser is a hilarious lady. Her sex jokes and innuendos always make the class laugh, which is good for a dry subject like economics. Her tests are hard, but she helps you out with extra credit quizzes.

Rosser is amazingly intelligent and really knows what she is talking about. She does try to make the class interesting for everyone. Her lectures can be hard to follow and her tests are hard. You will have to work for a good grade, but you will learn a lot

I love Dr. Rosser. This class is a challenge, no doubt, however she offers a lot of opportunities to improve your grade. The quiz grades are added to your test grade and she offers a lot of extra credit for make-up classes. She wants her students to succeed and keeps class interesting. I would highly recommend her!

I recommend her over other econ professors especially if you're a business major. If you are looking to take econ to fulfill the gened, TAKE SOMETHING ELSE. She is pretty funny, but sometimes her accent makes things difficult to understand. Quizzes/Tests aren't terrible, pass sessions really help. She is a VERY fair grader.

She is a little hard to get used to but once you do you will learn to love her sense of humor. She tells you shows your test questions before the test and allows you to have a cheat card on most tests. A little confusing but if you really focus and sit in the front you can do well!

Professor Rosser's class should be taken if you are into economics. The class is fun and she tries to give out good examples that relate to the material. Take extra credit when she offers it. She is an average professor but with an interesting personality.

She has a lot of extra credit opportunities. She does really well at trying to keep students interested, and is totally willing to talk with you if you have difficultly understanding.

Not a great professor but she's very knowledgeable and is willing to help you if you ask. If you want to pass her class go to the PASS sessions before testsquizzes and do all the readings. The book makes everything so much easier to understand. You'll have to work for a good grade but you'll learn a lot. Made me decide to minor in Econ.

She's a great professor, and she cares about the students. She makes class interesting and fun, but there are only four tests that are very hard. She does give extra credit, but be prepared to read and actually study for this class.

I made a rate my professor account just so I could clear up the misconceptions of this professor. Dr. Rosser was one of THE BEST professors I have had at JMU. Her tests are difficult, don't get me wrong, however, she is beyond helpful and will explain things to you as many times as you need her to. I went to her office hours all the time.
