She gives the basics which is nice and you don't have to buy the textbook which saves $ and she will answer any questions you have. However, she does speed through the slides before you can take notes. There's no homework, which is good if your taking higher demanding classes at the same time but that means quizzes and tests are your only grade.

She doesn't give you a chance to take notes from her slides, reads right from the powerpoint with no further explanation, asks if theres questions without waiting enough time for students to form questions or even think about the material long enough to understand it.

Meg is nice, and you can tell she's smart, but she sucks at explaining everything. There's a test after every chapter and only 50% of them are graded, but the class was so lost after the last chapter that we begged her to make it a take home test and she did. On the midterm we got to bring an entire piece of paper filled out with whatever we want.

Please stay away from this professor. She seems nice but she's the worst at explaining. Econ needs practice and detailed explanation AND she does none of it.

Professor Hazra is a bit difficult to understand, and the slight language barrier seems to make it hard to get different explanations of concepts, but this is the case with a lot of Towson professors.

Pros 1. Lectures are easy to understand and light workload. 2. If you have a 95% attendance rate, you get 15 points on your final that is out of 50 total points. Cons 1. Exams are worth 75% of your grade. 2. Missing classes leads to a lot of points loss per day. 1 day would equal about 1-2% loss in your total grade.

She is a great person, but not a great professor. I would say she is an average professor. Some things she says don't really make sense and she makes it more confusing than it should be. Even though I think I will pass this class, I still didn't enjoy being in her class.

Fast lecturer but explains things very well. Class is easily structured. 1 point for attendance. In-class questions through device. Very understanding and kind. You'll notice when she gives out the pop quizzes. You can work together on quizzes. One page, front and back, open note midterm. Open notes for final.

Prof Hazras class was hard for me but she knew what she was talking about. If you payed attention you should be fine. All of her tests you get a large notecard and on the final exam you get to use your whole notebook. I would recommend.

She's a good teacher but she goes by material SO fast. 3 midterms and a final. Attendance does matter, she gives you extra bonus if you have perfect attendance on the final. Not a lot of HW. Quizzes after the end of every chapter. Overall I'd give her a 8/10

Professor Hazra knows what she is doing but made it very difficult for the class to understand. The tests are hard compared to what we learned in class and the rest of the assignments for the class. She asks random questions about concepts she just barely went over in class that go towards your final grade, as well as pop quizzes every few classes.

Economics is a difficult class but she tries to help out as much as possible. So many extra credit opportunities, and all exams we can have cheat sheets. I love that this course has a lot of participation points because it boosts our grades while we actually learn at the same time. Quizzes are also collaborative which is a W.

If you're not good with pop quizzes you will fail this class. She goes way too fast and assumes everyone understands the material. If you are confused or don't understand, good luck with getting an explanation that isn't bleak or is said in a condescending tone.

Come to class, do the homework, and study the review sheets. It's a harder topic but she spoon feeds the info. The class is extremely well organized which helped a lot. Her only downside is that her energy in class usually isn't the best, but I learned a lot and did well.

Professor Hazra is a great professor. She wants her students to pass and allows you to work with others on chapter quizzes. She also allows cheat sheets on unit exams. She is very lecture heavy put provides the slides to students and asks questions during class that allow you to earn extra points. Always email her if you are going to be absent.

Professor Hazra is really solid at her job. Her class is lecture heavy, so attendance is highly recommended and sometimes concepts can be difficult to understand, but she explains them in a clear and informative way. She is more than willing to answer your questions and allows a cheat sheet on exams. Also, you can work with other people on quizzes.

I honestly had a lot of fun in this class. Not every concept I agreed with (economics is basically money philosophy), but it definitely taught me some things I needed to know. Especially sunk cost fallacy and opportunity cost. Took in fall 2022. Mandatory digital textbook that you have to 'buy' (rent), even if you have a friend you can borrow from.

Class is hard but she gives a lot of extra credit, plus you can have a cheat sheet on the exams + final was open note. She goes through the slides very quickly and gives almost no time to process before asking graded questions, but extra credit will take you far. Plus her grading scale is nice, you need a 66 to pass with a C. Would take again tho

Econ is generally a tough subject. I am fortunately good at it. Professor goes pretty fast through lectures and often doesn't answer questions in the best way. She allows cheat sheets on all exams, however. I find that doing all homework and practice questions, I get almost all correct.

In our ECON class, all of our assignments are online and we help each other out during quizzes. Her lectures are pretty fast so take that what you will. You just have to write down alot of notes for the class. If you do the assessments you get extra points on exam! Ofc this is an economics class there will be math in it but not as bad as calculus

Took her for both micro and macro, Good teacher but super lecture-heavy and will need to take good notes. Only focus on her lecture she doesn't test you on the textbook. She has pop quizzes but are open-note. When studying for her exams what helped me was to study previous questions on the practice test and quizzes. Also allows cheat sheets.

Professor Hazra was very confusing at times when lecturing. She would only read off the the powerpoint slides and we would take notes. Minimal participation. Attendance was graded using Top Hat, and keeping up with the work she assigned was difficult. How can someone have only 2 attempts for homework? It baffles me.

Honestly, really great professor. If you're up for the challenge it's an easy A. She gives 5% extra credit per practice test, must be completed before the exam. I'm a law major so this was a required class, I definitely recommend taking her if you need it but If it's not a requirement maybe skip this class.

His class was kind of difficult so make sure to study outside of class, her tests were kind of hard as well but she would do her best to explain everything properly in class so honestly just pay attention and then read the textbook and homework provided.
