I dont think the class was hard at all because she tells you study questions ahead of time and uploads the things to study . Dont buy the texts because she gives you her notes , I mean you have to spend time finding the research articles for the TP but doable A.

Professor was cool. Read her notes and slides w additional notes and participle on blackboard and you have nothing to worry about. I normally get cs and bs and this was a doable A The only thing is if you turn your stuff in late she gives you no points so watch out for that

Shes someone you didnt know you needed to meet in your life to be inspired and stay motivated. For the PDFs, highlight the important stuff and go over it a couple times until you can speak it aloud without looking back at them. Short answer/essay exams. Her passion for this class is contagious. If you choose this class, more power to you!

We had 3 assignments 10 questions each and 300 word MINIMUM for each answer (800 words is A level answer). She doesnt teach at all. She only assigns you PDFs, PowerPoint and good luck with that. The tests are 20 short answers (5-7 sentences) and you have to do it in less than 70 min �� and her excuse was youre not working hard enough ?? What??

Lots of homework

Dr. Varkonyi is legit awesome! She helps with how to put the required research paper together which was daunting at first- if you go and talk to her after class or office hours she helps even more. Dr. Varkonyi was very down to earth kind and caring. The essay exams are hard but she gives a guide! Study that and you will ace!

DR. varko is truly an amazing professor. She has pretty strict rules, but if you follow rubrics u R good. Follow her exam prep guide also/ extensive. Her humor in her lectures actually made me excited to come to class. You can tell DR. v enjoys what she teaches. She doesn't share her lectures, so you'll have to come to class and take notes.

Professor varkonyi is one of the best professors I've taken at Baruch. She is very caring for her students and makes sure nobody is left behind. You can tell dr. V is passionate for this subject with the care she puts into his lectures. This class does have some group work and it may be unusual because it requires you to think outside the box!
