The best prof in the econ department, way smarter than Mukhoti.
Laid back classes, very smart. As long as you study you'll do fine
Dr. Reaves in the Hizzy!
Definately my best teacher so far, lots of extra credit and easy tests.
Awesome teacher. She's funny and she gives tons of extra credit on exams. Very little homework. Fun class.
awesome teacher...take her last class of the day..always lets you out early..tons of extra credit on exams
she is so lazy you have to study hard to get an A.. gives off class a lot, she is entertaining in a variety of ways, lots of laughs... take her class and understand perfectly what i mean
Good teacher when she actually shows up. IF you study you'll get an A.
Study...HARD!
She was really crazy. We only had class about half of the time but she usually notified us by email. Took her first class of the day and she spent the majority on tangents because she had no idea what she wanted to teach. Lots of fun and very easy.
i still don't understand what she is saying. she lets you out early all the time. you have to study by yourself. she basically just read the book to you.
Knows her stuff, and is very laid back. Cool women. Once gave extra cred to a student for finding someone who could braid her sons hair. If you do the homework and study, you should get out of this class with a fairly decent grade.
I like her. She basically reads you the book, kinda swallows her words at times. Gives out extra credit points like candy. Tests are straight from the book and notes. Take her for Macro
very mumbly, unclear and unhelpful.
She doesn't speak clearly, she never has class which is a waste of my money, you have to teach yourself and she only gives extra credit to the economic majors Don't take this Class!
Terrible professor. Only understood every other word she said and refused to help me outside of class, always tried to refer me to tutoring. Tests are confusing and she is a VERY strict grader. Very very lazy..
She is very hard to understand!!She gives extra credit and let's you out early.This is a good seminar class.Hard subject so study!
terrible teacher. Mumbles the entire time and reads straight from the book. Doesn't explain anything. Tests are ridiculously hard: 1/2 of the questions are exactly the same w/one word changed. Wont help you outside of class, just refers me to the tutor.
She is a very nice lady and will help if you need it at any time
She is ok. She mubbles but overall she is ok.
She is very hard to understand and she picks the same people for extra credit. My tutor helps me better than her. She always lets us out early instead of teaching to us. I wish I never picked her class.
cant understand a damn word she says. Like stated above, she picks on certain people. I dropped her class in time . THANK GOD.. She is no help, lazy, mummbles etc etc and so on.
Seems unapproachable-hard to understand sometimes, mumbles. Overall, if you read the book and do the problems in the study guide you'll pass the tests.
She was so lazy and she was so hard to understand. She mummbled the whole time and we were hardly in class which is a waste of money and then you have to teach yourself.
she tells you EXACTLY what you need to study, makes class entertaining, gives a lot of extra credit. she lets you out early a lot or doesn't have class often. i thought she was really easy.
Reads straight from the book and mumbles alot, but the testS are easy, considering that she goes over everything and takes questions from the study guide. Requires some studying!!But she gives alot of extra credit, ALOT!!
Alot of work, but she gives plenty of extra credit. As long as you do the work you'll be ok. nice lady
She only gives extra credit to her favorite students. She barely had class and when she did, it was only for 20 minutes...what a waste of my money and gas driving here. It's also very hard to understand her when she speaks.
I am having such a hard time in her class. It's hard to understand her speech and we only learn from the book. Class is only 20 minutes long and I have to drive an hour to get here. There are three people in here that failed her already, but the other classes were already full.
Hard to understand. Very nice. Has her good and bad days. Sometimes doesnt show up to class, and almost always ends class early. But gives good examples and will anwser any questions. Doesn't take crap from anyone.
Always willing to help anytime you need it, just stop in her office. Very straightforward and will tell you EXACTLY what you need to know and what you don't. just make sure you go to class
she is the worst teacher i have had in my life from kindergarden on up, she never shows up to class or teaches for that matter and everything u learn will be from yourself as u have to read the book and do problems and even grade/check them because she offers NO help whatsover, dont take her if u dont want a giant avoidable headache.
decent professor. really study for tests and u should do well. gives a lot of extra cred. she's pretty nice. almost every class ended early.
A good class to learn about economics. Her exams are straightforward and she really wants you to learn economics. IF you study you can get a good grade.
very good at explaining the material. if you studyyou should do well. IF you fail this clas you deserve it.
She is one of the worst teachers i have had here, she says the same thing over and over again, offers no help, explains very little. Her tests are not hard but she marks off for everything, very hard grader. Bad experience.
good at explaining things. tests are hard. make sure you do all the problems she assigns. great at giving extra credit work.
A terrible teacher. Bores her students to death. And yes all she ever does is repeat herslf a million times and doesn't put what she repeats on her long never ending tests.
absolutely horrible teacher who puts things on webct without telling the class and expects you to actually know its there. avoid her.
This woman really knows her stuff and explains things well. If you GO TO CLASS, and SKIM THE CHAPTER before class, you're golden. You people are in college - if you can't handle that then college isn't for you. I thought she was great. I took Macro the semester before this class and it really helped. TAKE MACRO FIRST. Trust me. But take Reeves.
Horrible teacher!
I don't know what all these sad faces are about. This woman knows her stuff, and you really will learn something. All you need to do is pay attention, go to class (even though attendance doesn't matter), and actually study for the tests. Tests are a little long, but if you put some effort into it you'll do fine. Class almost always ended early.
I don't know why she has such a bad rating..she's awesome.yeah she may be strict but shes nice.all you have to do is take notes and study them and you'll pass the tests (they're pretty easy)..make sure to watch the videos she randomly quizzes you..at the end drops the 3 lowest grades...def. knows what she's talking about...take her!!!!
Dr. Reaves is a good professor, but I just don't understand Economics. I find her tests to be quite difficult, and she asks everyone to read the Wall Street Journal every day. She seems very knowlegeable, and I'm sure that you will find her very useful if you are a Business Major. If you're not (like me), God save you, and take Macro- NOT Micro.
This lady mumbles, offers no help instead she points you to a tutor. She gives a lot of extra credit papers because of her hard tests and terrible teaching. The thousands of pages of notes you write down never help on the tests and we had to memorize 50 articles a week at one point and your tested on it on the tests. She is pathetic.
What a condescending woman. I'm amazed she has a teaching job. Her holier-than-thou attitude makes me sick... and she's like that every single day. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from her.
Professor Reeves lacks manners and communication skills. She is an inproficiant teacher. She insisted on having us read articles from the walt street journal that we had to pay for and never talked about them, instead she gave us quizes on them. There was a rediculous amound of writing and her rudeness made me sick!. AVOID HER!!
She is hard - goes very fast, but sometimes lets you out of class early(only good thing about this class) She expects ou to read the entire wall street journal every day and remember everything in it. Her tests are very hard and gives a lot of extra credit - do all the extra credit she gives if you wan to pass the class.
she really has nothing to comment about. she comes talks you either get it or atleast enough to understand the book. or you dont. micro is hard she doesnt help or hurt that. So thats it.o she does give 5point on tests for answering some questions in class.
Easiest Class on the planet.. the lady gives 90 million extra credit opportunities which should be taken advantage of..she doesnt grade hard and her tests are pretty easy.. college is not like highschool..maybe if these people who give bad ratings tried taking notes and studying, they wouldnt do so bad..great lady definitly take her
horrible professor
NEVER TAKE HER SHe is horrible. Cant teach & she makes you feel really stupid if you try to ask her a question. She gives tons of work & she says attendance doesnt count but she passes around a sign in sheet. Dont miss a class or you will never catch up.
no comments! Just avoid taking classes with her!
Reaves taught Intro to Micro Economics exceptionally well. She makes sure everyone understands before moving on. Class is based on 4 exams, all which are very easy, as long as you do the online practice tests (most questions come directly from this.) Not much homework or papers- TONS OF EXTRA CREDIT- don't listen to others- take her!!
I took her class not knowing anything about Micro. It was really hard to keep up even though she does make sure anyone has questions before she moves on..I just didnt know what to ask. She gives some extra credit but I feel like it isnt worth anything..just to make students happy. She makes it a hard and boring class so I would never take her again
She certainly isn't a joyful woman (though she has her small moments). Her class is easy if you pay attention and study, which i don't do and am still doing fine in. She DOES teach really well. I've learned more from her than in any other class. She'll call you out and criticize you for talking in class... I'd take her though. show up and listen.
horrible teacher avoid if you can. have to take class again fail rate for the first test was 22 out of 35 doesn't explain things well and acts like every should know whats going on
She is a wonderful women but she is hard..... Study .....
Felt lost throughout the time taking her class. Over half of our class failed her Intermediate Microeconomics class (literally). Wouldn't recommend.
Dr. Reeves is very through. She answers questions and repeatedly goes over difficult topics. She gives practice quizes and test that are very simular. This subject is very ticky without macro and the ones compliaining are fromthere. Because you are allowed to take a course out of order doesnt mean you should. If you do expect to study hard.
LOVED THIS WOMAN! my roommate and I refer to her as a boss! We loved this class!! So many ec opportunities, therefore you SHOULD get an A, but you def have to participate. Awesome prof, first econ class where I didnt want to cry everytime I opened the book. TAKE HER!!! Fave class this semester, wish I could have a class with her every semester.
Offers a lot of opportunities for Extra Credit, all you have to do is participate and answer questions. She uses some website to do homework on so that was kind of boring but overall this class is not too bad. The tests weren't that bad, she offers review online before all the tests so it makes it pretty simple.
she is a solid teacher but requires print out slides witch tallies up to alot of paper useage.
Prof Reaves is a nice woman but you really need to study for her class. She is more than willing to meet students 1 on 1 for office hours to help. Gives out practice tests which have similar info as real tests. participation really improves your grade in the long run. Get the book!! You'll use it a lot.
the best word may be "solid" certainly not friendly, not easy, but def not hard to get an A just show up and pay attention, cause she gives TONS of EC
I would recommend her as a professor. Gives out sooooo much extra credit. Pay attention in class, print out the slides, and take the practice quizzes online. Her tests aren't that hard if you study. Her practice quizzes are mostly the same questions on the tests.
Dr. Reaves will not help you if you ask. She believes that you are 100% on your own and if you make a mistake or have a question, too bad!
The subject is not difficult, but the class is quite difficult. The professor gives quizzes that are from the textbook yet the lectures posted don't cover the same topics as the textbook. Effectively she gives you the textbook and her job ends there. Also not helpful at all, her extra credit was harshly graded. Would not recommend to anyone.
I took this class online and it was hard!! The tests are very hard and you really have to read and understand the readings to even try to pass the tests. Also, the lectures are long but you must watch them. I studied hard and this was still one of hardest online classes I had. She does give you one extra credit option at the end of the semester.
Wasn't a hard class. Micro and Macro is done now through Connect online. Simple HW's, quizzes, and Exams. Makes you discuss and connects it to real world to make it interesting. Do your work on time and shouldn't be a problem. Gave us extra credit and seemed as if she was always available for questions.
If you haven't taken a Micro or Macro Course, don't take this class. Even if you do major or minor in them this class is still boring and has issues. You are not allowed to use ANY electronic devices at all and it makes things much more annoying to set up. Felt bad from the start and would recommend to stay away from this professor.
I highly recommend not taking this professor. I am student with a 3.6 GPA and Professor Reaves class was the worst class I have taken so far at Rowan. All she does is read off of powerpoint slides in a monotone voice every class. The exams are very hard and she never teaches in depth enough to understand the material. 10/10 DO NOT TAKE.
This class is absolutely awful. Worst class i've ever taken. She does not allow you to see what you have gotten wrong on quizzes and tests. She summarizes answers for tests so its not word for word from the book. She times the tests and quizzes and gives very little time for each question. Almost as if she doesn't want us looking it up in the text.
She is a very nice professor. The test and quizzes she gives out can be difficult so make sure you show up and pay attention. She also gives a lot of extra credit to her students which helped me tremendously.
Unforgiving due dates, even if some things are a day late she gives no credit unless if its a quiz or an Exam, which she withdraws 25% per day flat, Homework if missed online receive a 0%. Did not provide a course schedule the first day of class with syllabus. You're better off reading directly from the textbook. Pronounces Salmon like SAL-Mun.
Absolutely terrible. Microeconomics online should have been a fun and easy class, but not with her teaching it. Lectures were boring and bland and she has no consideration for her students outside of her recorded lectures. Dont ask to make up anything or go above and beyond for her because she could care less. She also never gives feedback.
Had Reaves for online microeconomics. It was as expected. Lots of lectures and homework assignments. She was not very accessible outside or caring about anyones grade. An alright choice if you are taking it online but I wouldnt want her in class. Know the material and watch the lectures and youll get an A.
I had Prof Reaves for online microecon and the class was a breeze. As long as you do the DQ's and homework assignments you will pass. I never put more than 2 hours a week into this course and didn't have to study for exams and got a good grade. Anybody complaining about the difficulty of this class most likely didn't do assignments/watch lectures
The test questions werent very similar to homework. I never truly understood what mirco was all about. The graphs were hard to follow. I completed every DQ, online homework assignments, and watched all lectures and still didnt have a clue what was happening. Professor wont go out of her way to help you.
Just all around bad.
Mrs.Reaves is a fantastic professor of environmental Econ. She's a harsh grader, but she allows notes and gives extra credit to those participating in class. She rarely assigns any homework, and her projects are fun and informative. Her lectures and slides are tremendous, and I recommend her to all students who need an Econ class!
This professor's teaching style was unnecessarily challenging, with lengthy lectures and overly difficult exam questions. Their approach made it harder for students to grasp the material and succeed in the class. Overall, I would rate them poorly for not effectively facilitating learning. Beware of this professor!
DO NOT TAKE! She does not care about her students, has the worst attitude. She went into a professon to help people and she just does not. She uses McGraw hill so you're paying 150$ just to take the course and doesn't accept late work or extensions at all. Every assignment take 1hour and 30min to complete min. I generally hope that she gets fired.
She really stressed watching the lectures to pass the class and I just feel like nothing that was covered was. on any of the exams. I'm normally a really good student-and I did absolutely horrible in this class. Exams are open notes, but a lot of the information was not in the lectures or book. Do not recommend taking this professor.
This chick blows
Not respectful what so ever… does not offer extra credit even when a family member dies. Wants things very specific. Not a fast responder. DOES NOT TEACH!!!
DO NOT TAKE IF YOU COMMUTE TO CAMPUS. grades attendance very heavily and is taken at the start of class. no homework assignments, only 3 exams. tons of curveballs on them. got to my final 40 minutes late because of traffic and she did not care at all. failed my final because I didn't have time to finish it. I even left the house 10 mins early.
Her lectures are extremely heavy, so make sure to take notes on everything if you take her. You can use a cheat sheet on exams however, there is usually enough information on each exam to write an entire encyclopedia, so pick what to take carefully.
This professor puts a large importance on the prerecorded lectures which were incredibly difficult to commit to fully watching and taking notes as you can hear the saliva sloshing around in her mouth every single second. I would not reccomend to anyone who struggles to sit and pay attention. Not very engaging. She also does not work with students.
I would advise steering clear of this professor. She is extremely picky, over-the-top with assignments for an online class, and all her exams are proctored by lockdown software. She is not accessible and harshly grades. Also, her online lectures are brutal. Do not take Reeves; avoid the extra money for the subsequent retake.
Horrible. Just horrible. Grades only tests and proctored exams. The lectures don't teach anything and doesn't give any extra credit.
Extremely difficult grader; The tests are extremely difficult even open note. The online lectures are very painful and boring to go through-- that one person was right about the mouth noises sloshing everywhere. Condescending as well.
