She is a very clear and to the point professor. She is willing to help you and out of all the other Macroeconomics teachers, she is by far the best!!!!!!
No Comments
Dr. Lo is an exccellent professor. She keeps the topic interesting by introducing how the subject matter relates to real life and she wants to see students succeeed. You do have to study for the class to get a good grade, but it is possible to do well. I'd recommend her to anyone, and I'd take another class with her if I could.
She is a great professors. You can learn a lot of interesting stuffs about economics. She always make her lectures and topics easy to understand. I highly recommend to take her class. Easy A.
Easy class for an honors section. Gave many many opportunities to receive an A in the course. Was generous in grading and giving out pop quizes. Everything you need to know for exams are on the powerpoints. Exams are identicle to the practice exams she posts. Great professor
Professor Lo was such an awesome professor. I recommend her to anyone who wants to take Macroeconomics next semester. She is very helpful, sweet, and provides a lot of insight on the topics we discuss. Just go to class, read the powerpoints, and read the book a few times.
dr.lo is the best professor (out of 5) that i had here at utsa this semester.although she has an accent, it doesnt interfere w/her ability to explain the material and to provide u assistance if necessary.book was helpful but powerpoints helped even more so.easy A if u study a little and always attend class.oh yeah, shes pretty hot too.
very personable /great to work with.
She explains all the material very well, it's very easy to understand her. You don't need the book seriously. All you have to do is study her powerpoint and understand it. Make sure that you understand it clearly. Her tests are not easy, it requires you to understand the concept in order to do well on it. She gives quizzes and extra credit too. The
If you are an economics or business major TAKE HER!!..if you are not a businnes major you are going to have a really hard time.
Professor Lo is a good professor and an overall fair teacher. The class was more difficult than I thought it would be but it is still possible to make an A in this class with studying. Gives 4 pop quizzes and some extra credit assignments in class so I reccomend attendng the lectures. Grades ar based on a point scale, 2 midterms and 1 final(compren
The class overall was ridiculous. A majority of the class either failed, or dropped. Her accent only added to the difficulty of the class. Do NOT take
truth is,dr. lo is a sweet and good looking professor. tries to act tough but u'll find her to be quite cute. she says she doenst offer extra credit but ull see gives bonus questions in her test. theres 4 quizzes and she drops lowest one. easy to fail do to lack of grades. but it is more than possible to make an A. know the concepts and ull be ok
She is a good teacher and offers help, attend class to understand the material. Sometimes hard to understand.
Buy the book even though she says you don't need it. GO TO CLASS!! She is sweet, and cute but don't mistake that for easy. *MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS INSIDE AND OUT!* If you are lazy and want an easy A~ Dont take her, you will be disappointed.
I am having an A prior to the final exam and this is my favorite class this semester!! However, if you want an easy A or B, don't ever take her because you may just fail badly. The bottom line is memorization gets you no points in her class. If you are willing to work hard and learn, then take her!!!
EASY IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND LISTEN TO HER LECTURES. BUT SINCE ITS A FRESHMEN COURSE, PEOPLE WHINE A LOT. YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE A 30 POINT FINAL (NON COMPREHENSIVE) IF YOU HAVE 95+ AS AN AVERAGE ON THE FIRST TWO TESTS.
She is really hard, and when you think you do good on the tests, you usually end up failing them. Even studying hard for all my tests, I failed most of them. You can follow with the lectures, but she words things very different on the test, almost as if she is trying to confuse you. DO NOT TAKE A COURSE FROM THIS PROFESSOR...take it from another
I took notes, read the book (which she said not to bother buying), I studied the practice tests she gave us and i studied with other people. and I got a D in this class. Most people i talked to agree she is VERY hard.
I barely made an A in the class! I studied hard! Her tests are tricky the way she words the questions. She tells you, book not required, but I reccomend you buy the book, but use the lecture notes more when studying for the tests. She's nice, but you need to totally know the material, to do well. I took Macroeconmics.
This was my LEAST favorite class. I dreaded taking her tests because I knew I was going to fail. She has an accent that is hard to understand and words things weird on the tests and quizzes. If you feel like being confused and stressed, take her! if not, beware! I dropped her at the last minute cuz i knew i was going to fail!
Dr. Lo makes a somewhat difficult subject easier to comprehend. But YOU MUST study and read the book (as I did) to do well. Macro is not a class for slackers no matter who is teaching it. Don't believe the negative comments. I attended classes, studied and got an A. Oh and she's much hotter than she looks in the pic!!
easy class,i made an A.only 2 midterms&the final determine your grade.gives bonus point popquizzes that help but have to attend class4 those.has a cool policy whereby if u have a 95+ avg going into the final,u only take a partial final.yeah,only about 15questions as opposed to an ENTIRE final.good prof,i'd take again,but 2bad i'm a science major.
I found it an easy class to understand. Although I have taken this particular subject before, she still makes everything easier to understand. I only got a B in the class because I didn't give myself enough time to study compared to my other classes. If you read the book and go to class, you'll definately do fine.
I'm majoring in Economics and this is without a doubt a difficult class. I don't know what these kids are talking about when they say "Go to class and you will be fine". The tests are worded poorly, she has serious issues teaching the subject (not to say she dosen't know it) and its just all around not easy, no matter how much time you put in.
I don't know why so many people said she was hard. I loved her, she is a very good and apt professor. If you ask for help, it will be given -- thats her deal. You can't expect her to help you without you going to her. I found the class very interesting and fun (just b/c of her accent :P). She is a great teacher, I would highly recommend her.
This clas was pretty hard. if u take it. sit in the front. so you can understand her.Her tests are worded how she speaks.. soo watch out.!
Professor Lo is a very nice economics professor. She uses powerpoints as her method of teaching and posts them on WebCT for students to have access to. She gives practice exams for all her tests and even gets rid of the lowest quiz grade! She has demostrated expertise in her field and is able to simplify it for students to understand! Great teacher
This class was interesting because of all the economic issues going on recently. When taking her class, do the usual - go to class, sit closer to the front, LISTEN, and remain active in keeping up with the material. Dr. Lo is extremely nice & very knowledgeable about economics. With that, you will do fine and really learn a lot from her class.
Melody Lo is a great professor who works well with her students definitley reccomend her class.
This class is very intresting. I learned a LOT this semester and I would def. take this teacher again. She works with you if you have any questions and really loves what she does. Take her. She also gives a lot of extra credit!!!
I definitely recommend her for macroeconomics. She knows what she's teaching (she explains very clearly with great examples)and gives a lot of apportunities to study more effectivly and make a better grade. She even drops the lowest quiz grade! I think she really cares about her students and I can tell she loves teaching.
She is a great teacher that is willing to help out any student. She is not as hard as students make it seem to understand. I sat in the front of the class and could understand her perfectly. Tries to help out your grade with quizzes and some extra credit. Highly recommend her!! I got a B and didnt have to touch the book once!!
She is a great teacher who is willing to help out any student. She is not the hard to understand as other students say she is. i sat in the front and could understand her well. she will do as much as she can to help students by giving quizzes and extra credit. i highly recommend her!! i ended up with a B in the class and did not touch the book!!
Dr. Lo is the nicest lady in the world! and really got me interested in her class! you all hsould take her course if your going to take economics!
Mrs Lo was a very good professor!
Great teacher! Attend her class and you will make a good grade. I would recommend this teacher to anyone. Take her if you can.
Professor Lo is such an easy going professor. She explains everything involving economics so well. GO TO class and you'll do just fine. Very helpful as well when you need her. would def recomend her.
Every class was helpfull with real life examples that now can lead me to understan better.
Dr. Lo is an extremely helpful professor. The material is difficult, but she explains it a way that is easy to understand. If you want a good grade, you have to go to class.The powerpoint slides are also very helpful. Overall, I really recommend that course, you will gain an understanding of the our economy.
I highly recomend this professor, she makes the class fun and intresting>
Great professor, only economics teacher i would take for macro. You have to go to class if you want to make a good grade in her class. She is very willing to help, so just ask if you get stuck!
I felt the professors knowledge of the subject was great and tought the subject well.
She's a really nice PERSON, BUT a terrible PROFESSOR. Tests are nothing like the reviews, her accent is hard to adjust to, her handwriting is hard to read and her powerpoint is designed so that if for some reason you miss class you end up totally lost. DO NOT take her unless you dont mind her accent and if you can make it to EVERY single class.
Prof Lo is very knowledgeable about the material and has a great layout for the class. All of the powerpoint lectures and old exams are available on WebCT for review. She does have an accent and does talk fast. However overall, she is a great teacher.
Just remember when you read the negative comments from cry babies below that the ones who normally have all the negative stuff to say are the ones who never attended class and when they DID attend they talked the whole time. This lady was more than accommodating with her time and grading. She loves the subject and students' success was her priority
She keeps the subject manner interesting. You don't need the book for her class since she uses PowerPoint slides to lecture. She does have an accent but if you don't understand just ask her to write it down since she uses a projector screen also. As long as you write down what she writes down and study the slides you should get an A or at least a B
I had no trouble understanding this professor or her writing.Book use was minimal.All test material/formulas straight from slides.I made an A.Study notecards helped me more so in this class than in others.Go to class/study and you will do fine.Must know content and be able to apply.Easy class,but requires more than route memorization.
I took her class because I saw all the positive reviews&I ended up making an A because I like eco and learning it is easy for me but after going to the first 4 classes I didn't see the point in going to class. If you like/understand Eco easily then you dont need to go to make a good grade. &her accent annoyed the heck out of me. Easy prof though.
Hated her, what she thinks is funny really isn't. I used to love economics and now i can't stand it. She made a simple thing such as supply/demand sound so difficult and her powerpoint was the only good thing about the whole thing. I agree, her accent is annoying. GO TO THE SI SESSIONS, don't buy the book if you plan to go to class.
I don't know how anyone could not like Dr. Lo. She is very helpful and practically gives you the exam before the test (in the form of an old practice exam). 2 exams worth 35% each (very easy) 3 pop quizzes 7.5% each (lowest 1 dropped). and one mandatory quiz (15%). GO to class, study her powerpoints VERY EASY A. Oh, and sit in the front it helps.
Oh and as for the final, if you're comfortable with your grade, you don't have to take it. B/C it will automatically replace your lowest exam score regardless of what you score on it. I got about a 99 average since you can get above 100% on exams. Take Dr. Lo!
Attend Class. Take Notes. She has powerpoint slides for students to take notes from but if you attend lecture there's no need for all of that. Very approachable and helpful. Just as long as you take good notes and study them well in preparation for tests you should make an EASY A! I really enjoyed this class..she teaches well and oh sit up front!!!
I got an A and I don't have to take the final. SWEEEEEET!
Professor Lo is a great professor. I would absolutely reccommend her to anyone. You do not need the book, and if you feel like you'd want it for some extra help, you can buy it by the chapter online (it's cheap). She is very helpful and very nice. Econ is not that interesting but she does her best. Go to class and study and you can make an A.
didnt like her accent but i sat in the back so it was worse for us sometimes. made an A nonetheless so its an easy class to pass if you go to class, sit up front, and ask the ?s you have
Considering I'm a Health major, this class was easy to understand. I thought that the material Prof. Lo taught was important to understand our economy and why we are in a recession. I think she's one of the best eco professors at UTSA and she explains every topic with great detail. Attend class, get an A/B.
THE CLASS IS FAST AND SLOW AT THE SAME TIME. FAST IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S A SUMMER CLASS. I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD COVER MORE THAN WHAT IS REALLY COVERED. I LIKE THE SUBJECT. AND I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT ECO BEFORE THIS CLASS. NOW THAT I'VE TAKEN IT, I AM ACTUALLY THINKING, MAYBE I'D LIKE TO BE AN ECONOMICS MAJOR INSTEAD. PROF LO HELPS HER STUDENTS
She's really funny and loves to teach this subject. If you go to class, you won't fall behind.
Overall I learned a lot of information. I've taken this class before and she has been the best Professor so far. Even though taking Macroeconomics in a mini summer semester is intense. I recommend this Professor to anyone.
Great professor, come to class you will do fine. Tests are easy if you pay attention a little in class.
I have never really liked economics classes, and Lo managed to me love the entire class. She has a talent to apply the subject to the real world in a clear manner. She also uses a very good textbook to refer back to. It was a summer class, so i felt like I actually learned a whole lot more since the class was more consistent. Great summer class.
She was a very intriguing professor, taught very straight foward! You gotta digg her swag, she be doin her thang, fly teacher!
This class was a great class to take in the summer, even though the material is very fast paced, the professor manages to teach the subject in a brilliant clear manner. I never liked to take eco classes, but I learned to enjoy the class and do really good.
I would recommend professor Lo for individuals who are business majors because she explains all the material in great deatail. However, if your not a bsuiness major most of the material can seem overwhelming at times.
She knows what she's talking about. If your like me and wanting to get an economics out of the way you must take her and in the summer. Shes amazing and smart. You'll learn but it won't be hard to understand anything. You can skip micro and just take macro for a economics class. Believe me when I say shes good and you'll most definetly pass.
I sat in front and was able to really understand macroecomics in a really clear way. Professor Lo is a great professor, i really was able to understand more clearly how everything works and why we are in a recession. Overall, great professor! Go to class, study your notes/slides and you'll do great!
The thing that caught my attention about this class was not only the talk about the dynamics of money in the economy, was the teachers accent forcing me to pay attention. Other than that the class was well laid out and easy for me to grasp every single concept
Dr. Lo explains things very well. She relates concepts studied in class to current, real world events. She is glad to give on the spot help and demonstrates genuine concern for students. I'd recommend this class to anyone.
She is a great professor who tells you about economy in the real world. I recommand her class to you. If you attend to her class and pay attention, you can get a good grade.
Enjoyed the class. Reviews the material until you understand it and can answer any question you have. Show up to class and pay attention to get a relatively easy A.
Professor Lo is fantastic! Her expectations are crystal clear and she explains the material in a way that is easy to understand. Her exams are challenging, but if you know the material you will do just fine.
great professor, although material in course is a but difficult for non-ecom majors
Great professor! I feel I've learned so much about how our economy works. Uses real world examples to explain concepts and terms. Gives old midterms and quizzes, which are useful study aids for exams. Asks the class if we understand a concept before moving on. I highly recommend this professor.
Professor Lo does a great job of slowly reasoning through all the topics in the course. She's young and has great energy. The class may be a bit lacking in challenge to ECO majors, but for everyone else it's adequate. Just pay attention in class and review the powerpoint slides, and you should have no problem getting an A in the class.
Pretty cool professor, down to earth. Book not necessary, her power points are enough and attending to class makes it easier to understand the material. Its an easy A.
Coolest Professor that I have taken so far at UTSA. Always helpful, very easy to understand.
Prof. Lo was great. I had taken this class twice and I have managed to come across with a B. I would recommend her for Eco course as she truly cares that you understand the material. This class should be no problem.
excellent professor, take her if you can!!! explains really good... best ever!!!
A great professor. Really cares about the students. Dropped last professor because didn't understand a thing after the second week. If you hate eco then this is the professor for you to understand and pass the course.
The last economics class I took was in high school which was a joke and I hardly remember anything from it. I learned a lot from Professor Lo because she went over things clearly and now I'm more interested the stock market. She has an interesting sense of humor and ask why she moved to Texas. You don't need a book. Just attend class and listen.
This teacher is very helpful to understand the subject because she makes sure you understand the chapters on her class. She gives extra point on the tests. She is a very funny teacher when she gets distracts by sharing part of her life with us. Even thoe I took this class in the summer and the class lasts 2 hrs " she teached it really well.

she teached it really well.
she is very helpful and cares if your doing bad or good. Accent is not that bad..
I felt that she was a great teacher! The information she taught was very helpful and important. If you go to class and take notes on your slides you will make a good grade! She is extremely helpful and willing to help!
accent challenging at first but get used to it! overall great professor! gives old midterms from previous semesters and you can basically study those and her ppt lecutures and you should be able to bet a high B or even an A. would take again!
Very helpful professor! She really know how to get students involved in class and her material is very clear! I think many professors should be like her!
Great professor! She makes class fun and interesting. It really helped that she used everyday examples to help us better understand.
Nice way to teach, class is fun and informative.
She is a good teacher and I am glad I took this class with her. I thought this class was going to be really stressful, but she made everything very under stable. I have gain a better understanding of economics would suggest taking this class with her.
I loved having Professor Lo! She makes this subject interesting with her many humorous examples and stories. If you attend class and study some before each test, it's not difficult to get an A! I actually enjoyed her class a lot. She has great style too!
Excellent professor for macroeconomics. Great use of examples. The quizzes and test are appropriate but some of the questions may be worded strangely and can potentially be misconstrued.
Awesome Professor! Very helpful.
PROFESSOR LO IS AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR. I WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THIS COURSE BUT SHE MADE IT ENJOYABLE AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. AS LONG AS YOU PAY ATTENTION TO HER AND TAKE GOOD NOTES THAN THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN FAIL. SHE IS VERY HELPFUL WITH ANYTHING YOU NEED HELP ON.
GREAT PROFESSOR. MADE CLASS ENJOYABLE AND REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I ACTUALLY LEARNED A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD.
Great professor. Very nice. I liked her a lot. You will learn a lot in this class. I recommend taking this professor. :).
She was great had a blast. Would take her again.
Great about making this class manageable. She's prepared for class and provides a lot of supplementary material to help you succeed. Do your job and listen to what she has to say and you'll do fine.
She is an awesome teacher. Take her if at all possible!
this prof. is really hard to understand, test are very difficult trick questions attendance isnt required but very helpful, u wont understand her though.only 3 test 4quizzes do good on those youll pass if not u WILL FAIL
She is very hard to understand, she has a very thick accent. The test are complicated. It is hard to pay attention in class because she goes off topic most of the time.
I took her for Financial Economics and consider her among my favorite professors of all time. She's simultaneously incredibly helpful and passionate about research. The course itself was great and I highly recommend it to any students concentrating in Finance or Economics, it covers important information left out of other courses.
HonorsClass:I thoroughly enjoyed this class and Dr. Lo. She made coming to class extremely fun and always had a great way of explaining things. Such a sweet professor and always there to help you out and answer questions, very approachable! Even though I am good at economics I thought her teaching style was outstanding! I recommend her to anyone!
I thought that Prof Lo was very knowledgeable. She answered everyone's questions, but without getting off-track. I enjoyed her lectures a lot.
She gives you every opportunity to get an A. Her lectures are very good and clear and there's not a huge workload. I learned a lot and found the class very interesting even though it's not my major.
she knows what she is talking about, but her accent is a little hard to understand. and sometimes she goes a little fast.
HONORS COURSE: I absolutely enjoyed this class simply because of Dr. Lo! She made a sometimes mundane subject interesting, relevant, and fun! I really enjoyed her wonderful sense of humor, participative approach, and her outstanding ability to reach everyone at their level. Dr. Lo is hands down one of the best Professors I've ever been exposed to

I took the Honors section she is a good Professor really helpful wants to see everyone do well. she gives 2 test 4 quizes and homeworks but HW is easy and one Group project overall a good class
Hard to understand her, but she is very nice. Tests are difficult, and the class can get rather long and boring really fast. Nice person, but not so great class.
Dr. Lo is very knowledgeable about the subject and she is very passionate when it comes to teaching. One of the few professors I have come across that does actual teaching - which is rare at this university. Easily one of the best professors out there.
kinda hard class, read the book to make the grade but tests asks questions more on if u understand than real life questions u will face
Dr. Lo is totally awesome. The class is not too hard, you just have to pay attention and take notes. She is more than willing to help as long as you put the effort. There should be no reason to get a B.
Honors: Dr. Lo is a great professor who really knows what she's talking about and very helpful at that too. Her class is not easy but if you work at it, study and get everything on time you can get an A. 4 quizzes, 2 test, group project and online hw. The only thing is that we had to buy an online program that cost a lot. she has very cute style :)
HONOR course. She was very nice and helpful. She explained concepts very well and gave good examples to make it easy to understand. Class was fun and interesting. If one attends class and takes notes quizzes and test are easy. Overall great prof. TAKE HER! and she's cute!
Macro, honors class. She was very nice and helpfull. I like macro because of her. Of course you have to read and be prepared. I would recommend going to class because she explains very good. Her lectures are not boring and you learn. Also, memorized the formulas for quiz and tests because she doesn´t let you bring notes with formulas.
Honors. Dr. Lo is really helpful and explains everything really good! And knows the material quiet good. I will recommend you to take her!
Honors Section. Recommend attending class. Reading the book helped a lot. My only problem was that some of the test questions where worded a little tricky. However, she was very fair when it came to discussing the questions after the fact. She really seems to care about her students, especially if you make an effort.
In the Honor's section I took with Dr. Lo, she is a sweet younger professor with a background from Vietnam. She is always in her office hours and try her very best to help students.
was hard to understand in the big lecture hall, not very good at keeping the class focused. reads pretty much exactly off of the slides she has you print off as notes. book reading required to make even a B. easy class if you have good attendance. pop quizzes killed my average.
She was probably one of the most helpful professors. The pop quizzes are fairly simple and the exam questions are similar to the old tests that she posts. Very helpful and has a few extra credit opportunities. I would def take her again!
I would highly recommend. She is very intelligent (yes her accent is very strong she is from Taiwan not Vietnam) but still easy to understand. Attendance not mandatory but gives pop quizzes to reward those that do show up and they are not difficult. Also she is pretty hot!
shes pretty easy to understand in lecture, her tests are worded a little off though. you either need to read all the readings thouroughly or go to class every time. you wont stand a chance not doing either and just looking on the powerpoints she posts online. not an Easy A but a do-able B.
This class was definitely hard to sit through. It's because the information was boring to me, I suppose, but every time I thought I did well on a quiz or test, I did not. Every time I thought I did horrible, I did well. You have to print out the slides and take the notes she adds in and read the old tests. Quizzes were a little difficult though!
Do not take this class!! Everyone is crazy for saying she's a good teacher. No one can understand what she says and her tests are based on her lectures. Immpossible to sit through and she has pop quizzes. Reading the textbook may help a little but will not help on the test. I do not recommend taking her at all!!
I took professor Lo in Spring 2010 Macroeconomics 2013. It was not difficult to understand her she would speak clear English. It was my third time taking economics and I did pass it this time with her. She was very helpful and she returned emails quick. The tests are from the power point presentations and the book. Read the chapters for quizzes
Difficult professor. Material is about what you?d expect but her style and communication skills challenged this student. Three un-announced quizzes all given in last 15 minutes of class. Slides available on blackboard. Important: print out for class as she will add material during lectures that are key to high marks. Do not recommend.
Intro. Macro. Economics.I marked 2nd to most difficult because I took this class for granted. Don't blow this easy class off. You'll pull off an A so long as you pay attention. Sit in the front Professor Lo knows what she is talking about but can be hard to understand. Some extra credit. I would recommend!
Recommend her class and style. She was tough but very helpful. Don't shy to get extra help if you need some. She is a nice lady and doesn't bore you with her lecture.
Intro To MacroEcon. Prof. Lo is funny and explains things well but the explanations never quite matched up with the test content because Econ. is not my thing. She's has a pretty interesting way of lecturing despite the content. 3 pop quizzes over the semester and two mid terms, optional final. Made a C :-/
She is really nice but her class is very boring. She rants alot and takes forever to get to the point. Sometimes I can't understand her because of her accent.
As long as you go to class and pay attention, she is not hard at all. She posts all her powerpoints and old tests on blackboard. the tests are exactly like the old tests. Go to class, print out the powerpoint, write down everything she writes down, and review the material. you got an A!
She is super nice and funny. She tries to make it easy to understand but her accent at times can make it hard. You can get by without a book b/c she post all her PPTs online, but you should still come to class even though it's not required. Pop quizes!
She's very nice and makes things things funny and easy to understand. She really attempts to make sure we know the material, so at times she can be a bit repetitive and boring, but over all she's a great teacher
she is a good teacher, she tries to make the class funny, the test are a a lil bit hard but it is a good class
good teacher, has an accent but is completly understandable. made an A
She's a nice lady, however in the end she will not bump up your grade up, even if you get a 79.45. So make sure you study hard for all the pop quizzes!
She is really nice and pretty funny. Quizzes are kind of hard though. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO CLASS. Attendance is not mandatory but there are pop quizzes and you have to be in class to do well on exams. If you listen to the lectures then you won't need the book. All the material is on her PowerPoints.
She was a very helpful and interesting professor.I am a government major and the math involved in the class was not one of my strong points.However, she is good at relating economics to the real world and if you pay attention then you should do well in the class.You must study.Not a blow off class.I would recommend taking it to absolutely anyone.
Professor Lo is great! Her power points are helpful, but you definitely do better by attending class. Her lectures are interesting and very informative.
Professor Lo is wonderful! I really enjoyed her lectures, she's funny and makes the subject very interesting! Go to class, take notes, study and get an A!
Can barely understand her, is extremely boring, and has pop quizzes so you'll always be paranoid to skip this class. Avoid her if you can.
Great Professor! All you need to do to make a great grade, is attend class, and take active notes on what she adds to her powerpoint notes. Study those and you will never need the book! She is always available for questions and is willing to help during office hours! Final exam optional! :)
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! The final is optional, and if you simply take her in class notes, and review them before exams (2), you will have a great grade!
She's very helpful when it comes to reviewing material for the test. Excellent and very clear and easy to understand. She is one of the greatest presenters I've ever seen in my life. And trust me, I've seen a lot. She is a great public speaker, but more than that a smart.
She is a great professor! she is funny and explains things very well. if you go to class and take the notes, theres no reason you shouldn't pass.
Great teacher!
Dr. Lo is very good professor. She has lot of experience and knowledge to share. She keeps class level to the intro class, as its suppose to be but she also gives insights to lot of interesting details to those who are interested after class or in office. Pop quiz are little scary but they keeps students focused. Go to class, study, and an A.
Professor Lo is a great teacher, but you do have to work for your grade! She barely gives any extra credit points, so you have to attend class, take notes, and study! Overall, she was really nice, funny, and helpful. She does want you to succeed!
Lo is an awesome professor! Really funny and makes the course as simple as possible to understand. I didn't purchase the textbook; she went over everything. Easy A if you spend a little effort studying
she has a very thick accent and hard to understand sometimes, this was depressing at other times. I also went to her office once and she was not there. Unless you have to, I would pick someone else.
Professor Lo is an awesome teacher. She makes it really easy to make a good grade as long as you go to class and print off the PP. I didnt open the book once because everything was from the PP. The test were difficult but every other assignment in the class was easy. If youre one of those kids that miss class often then this class isnt for you
Dr. Lo is super sweet. She does have an accent but I haven't had any trouble following along. Pay attention,take notes, she drops obvious hints about possible test questions. Attendance mandatory since there are pop quizzes. She hints to those too. Take her!
Professor Lo is very sweet and helpful but she makes this class confusing. She has an accent that is sometimes hard to understand and makes up her own words for things. Her points aren't very clear and I understood the material better when I read the book. Tests are hard. I'm an A student but tried very hard to only get a B. I don't recommend her.
Dr. Lo is a great professor; she is very knowledgeable in what she teaches.She is very passionate about it, she never hesitates to explain something in more detail. Although the down part is pop quizzes,she also has an accent but it’s not that hard to understand.You won’t need your book, it’s optional because her PowerPoint’s are very detailed.
Her accent is not bad at all, but sometimes distracting. She does have pop quizzes, but she drops one. She has eight points extra credit on every test and offers extra credit based off the last scheduled quiz making it easy to get a good grade. Made a 100.9 in her class, but had a friend who got a low B. Guess it just depends
Professor Lo was very helpful. class was funny and interesting, and nothing she didn't cover in class was on the exam. show up, sit up front, and take notes and you'll do just fine. definitely recommend her!
First things first... Accent. If you don't like em, don't take Professor Lo. Aside from that, this professor knows her stuff, breaks it down, and relates to current situations. This in mind, I never went to class. So, go to class, the notes she gives are straight on the test. Or struggle like I did with reading the book.
Prof. Lo talks very quickly and is very intelligent. Her accent is a bit hard to understand at times, so you need to pay attention. This is not a blow off class, you need to work for your grade. Don't forget the online stuff!
Professor Lo is a wonderful educator and is very approachable. She helped me with macroeconomics when I needed it, but she also took time to speak with me about my degree path. She is an amazing individual!
Professor Lo did an excellent job of relating the material to everyday life, which made the class much more interesting than it would have been otherwise.
I am in the honors section of her class. She wants to help you learn and is very approachable. Real life examples which make the class more interesting. One of the best professors I have taken at UTSA.
Took her honors class. Dr. Lo is extremely friendly and is really knowledgable. She is approachable, which makes asking questions easy and not intimidating. She also has a good sense of humor which makes her lectures not boring. I would definitely recommend her.
Interacts with students a lot, keep lectures interesting. Even if she gets off topic of lecture, she covers what we talk about in the exam.
Professor Lo clearly teaches what we need to know, and encourages us to be active in the class and be excited about economics. She is a wonderful and passionate professor, and if you do your readings and study well, you will have no problem passing with an A. Highly recommend!
Interesting lectures with relevant real world examples.
I am a Chinese student in her honors eco class. This is a super easy class as long as you follow her on the class. She will remind you if there is a "pop" quiz next period. Her tests are easy. She hardly tests on the stuff she did not mentioned on the class. Her class is interesting and easy to understand. She is the best teacher I met so far.
Dr. Lo is a great professor, I took honors macroeconomics with her. The lectures are easy to follow along and she takes notes on a sheet of paper and projects it for you to take notes as well. She promotes in class discussion about the topics for everyone to participate. The tests are fair and there are pop quizzes as well.
I took Dr. Lo's Honors ECO 2013 class. For an economics class the class was not hard, however, you will not do well if you do not study. Two tests; no final. 4 in class quizzes and she drops one. 6 online homework assignments and she drops one. Plenty of extra credit and easy presentation. Only con is she tends to go off topic a lot.
Great professor she lectures through power points and in class examples. only 3 tests and she gives you last years exams to study from which makes it pretty easy. 3 pop quizzes and one homework assignment. I would definitely recommend her to any student looking learn economics without any additional hassle.
I'm currently taking her during the summer session and although there is a lot of information, she does an excellent job teaching the material for students to easily understand. Textbook is not required. Grade consist of 3 pop quiz (drop your lowest), QLP, 2 Midterm Exam, and Final Exam (cumulative). I highly recommend taking her if you can.
Professor Lo is a great teacher of the subject. She relates the subject to life in a way that's easy to understand. This is one of those classes where it's in your best interest to attend class, yeah pop quiz, but more because she teaches it so well, all you have to do is pay attention and you learn it. Her tests are 100% out of her lectures.
Professor Lo was a fair professor that was very clear about her expectations of the class. She does a few pop quizzes, but does not take attendance. So, it is smart to always be in class, but it is not mandatory.
Her lectures are easy to understand, textbook is optional although its really helpful. Exams are not so hard if you prepare very well.
She is a good professor however the thick accent hinders my ability to grasp some of the material. If you take this professor, be prepared to stay off your phones and random internet searches so that you can listen clearly to what she is trying to tell the class.
Makes you truly understand what economics is about
I took this class during the summer so it did deviate from the typical fall semester structure. She's great in class, and relies on lectures in terms of content so it is recommended to attend all the classes. If you have questions, she is willing to work with you. The exams are not hard if you study. I recommend taking her!
she's pretty good at teaching, but her test are hard, so make sure to study!
She is an excellent professor! would totally recommend her and take her again! it's not an easy class and her tests aren't easy either, but you will learn a lot. beside what she teaches is super interesting and useful, even as a non-business/eco,etc related major.
Great Professor, she's funny and make the material very interesting. However, her test are hard so you need to study really hard.
Professor Lo will give you examples rather than having to learn definitions. Her tests are some what easy if you do the practice exams. The exams are old exams and very similar to the actual exam you will take. After a chapter she might give a pop quiz.
Great Professor! Doesn't give much homework at all if any, I took her for the summer and there were few things that were graded so beware of your opportunities to raise your grade. She did provide a little extra credit but other than that the study guides were nearly identical to the exam, helping you out a lot. She really cares about her students!
Mr.s Lo gave good instructions and lectures about each chapter, which were PowerPoint slides, and gave a few pop quizzes. Although the pace was quick, she did happen to go through chapters at a steady pace. However, she did go into too much detail for certain facts or vocabulary, and often her exams held questions we didn't cover very well.
Great professor, really care for her students. I am taking her summer class. Going pretty well. The Are 3 exams. Final is comprehensive. The rest are straight from slides and lecture notes. I would take her again.
Dr. Lo is a very enthusiastic teacher, who knows her subject matter. Her accent makes it a little tough to follow her lectures, but she tries. She is a very expressive speaker and likes to make her class laugh.
I loved her personality! She was humorous, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She gives you the choice of purchasing a book or not. You really don't need it unless you require extra explanation with studying. You are given the lectures on blackboard, and you take notes with them in class. There is a comprehensive final, which is a downfall for me.
Professor Lo definitely knows what she's talking about. Great professor but it isn't an easy A so in order to pass her class you WILL need to study. The class consists of two midterms and one cumulative final. Her practice exams help out a lot.
Professor Lo lets you know at the beginning of class to print out the lecture PowerPoints which helped a lot. She will tell you what to write down. It is important to know your formulas because calculation questions are a big part of the tests. She will tell you where to get the chapters at low cost if needed.
Not a difficult class but you definitely have to attend and pay attention, she'll drop little facts that will be on the test throughout class. She gives extra credit options and drops your lowest quiz grade, as long as you keep up with material you'll be fine!
Great professor, very knowledgeable.
Professor Lo is a very sweet and kind lecturer who cares about her students. Her accent, although not that strong, makes it hard to stay focused at times. She also tends to get off topic a lot. Gives out pop quizzes but also extra credit. Tests are lecture heavy, show up! Took her during summer w/o a textbook with no problem. Overall easy course.
Pros: sweet, kind, caring, gives extra credit Pros: Accent, gets off topic
Great class, great teacher, had 3 tests and 3 pop quizzes, easy to understand, gave powerpoints. Could buy textbook online but not really needed unless you want extra explanations.
Really good professor even if you aren't a business/accounting major. She does not use the book although, if you are having trouble with the lecture, it would come in handy. Gives out pop quizzes, so be ready. All-in-all I liked the class.
Great professor, cant go wrong.
The tests were a lot harder than the practice tests. Even after reading the book, studying in class notes, and going to every lecture still didn't understand every topic on the tests. She moves really fast through important things and expects you to just understand them. Really nice and generous with extra credit.
super sweet professor, she definitely is good at explaining, especially if you aren't a business major. although attendance isn't mandatory, there are pop quizzes.
She really cares about her students. She is very knowledgeable and gives great real world examples during lectures.
I highly recommend anyone to take her for intro to macro. She definitely knows what she's talking about. Although there are 3 random pop quizzes in between, she does drop the lowest quiz grade. I would go to class even though it's not mandatory because her lectures end up being on the exams too.
In all of her classes she goes over each chapter in powerpoint & you should bring each chapter printed out to take notes on. She gives 3 pop quizzes but she will tell you a class before that yall might have a pop quiz so just be ready for that & the lowest pop quiz gets dropped. The main thing you have to do is study for the exams.
Professor Lo is a very detailed/example heavy teacher. She gives examples so the students can relate the material to everyday life. Go to class, take notes, and you will get an A in the class, you do not even have to buy the textbook.
Great professor. I enjoyed her lectures, but be prepared for pop quizzes in class! Her tests can also be a little difficult but if you study you wont have that hard of a time. She also gives extra credit.
Pop quizzes blow but that is it. Everything else was great.
She covers pretty much everything you need to know in class, so go to class. She will emphasize the important things to study for an exam, and gives old exams w/ answers before an exam which is super similar! Pretty easy class.
Although Professor Lo doesn't speak English 100%, she is a great teacher and I would recommend her to anyone else needing this course. Easy A if you go to class. Textbook isn't required & she offers a cheaper way to pay by chapter if you need it. Drops the lowest pop quiz & she is very helpful for those with questions. Would definitely recommend!!
