Absolutely loved her class. Interesting material, fair exams

This class was excellent. She gives you material about real life, not purely academic info you will never use. Secondly, she is super knowledgeable and had major experience in the business world, so she knows what is in demand. All the bad comments I saw here are from slackers who want easy A's and end-of-the-chapter tests. She gives extra credit.

I like her a lot.She is very smart.Her jokes are funny.I don't need professor to tell me what's in the book-I can read myself.If you A student you will get A.My favorite class in this semester.

She's very knowledgeable but she could be more engaging with the class. An entire lecture session is dull. Also, late on posting assignments. Quizzes are do at home assignments which can be copied when turned in to class.

Biggest joke of a class at Baruch. It was so easy! A couple of short written assignments...but at least that means no essays in the exams! You also develop good habits from keeping up with current events. Really nice professor, you could def learn a lot from her: she just doesn't know how to teach very well. Nice smooth riding class!

I think she is an okay professor. The class get a little boring as expected since it's Eco class. The exams are bearable and fair. She is actually not as bad as you might think.

nice lady, cares about her students' grades. exams r easy, except for a few tricky questions here + there. She gave 2 1-page papers that are worth <5% of your grade. likes to spend the 1st half-hour of class discussing current economic data. Easy A as long as u read the textbook and slides. Also, her practice quizzes r good review for the exams.

She is nice and friendly. She tries to make the class interactive and fun. She uses external sources to make the course related to our real life. However, her lectures are not quite useful since all the questions from the exams are basically from the textbook. Read the textbook and do the study guide, you will get an A.

Great prof. Not an easy class, but she makes it as clear and enjoyable as possible. If you keep up with the reading you'll do fine. There is a lot of reading and writing. Not much homework. Midterm and final, a couple of take home quizzes and a group presentation. You will learn a lot from her. Take her class.

One of the best economists in the country. Be interested in the class and you will see the treasure box open.

Professor Jain is an amazing professor. She has through knowledge of the subject matter and explains it in such away that allows for her students to articulate their thoughts and reasonings regarding economic policy. Also, she led the Fed Challenge group which as a result I am not hoping to join next year and also take Baruch to the Semi-finals.

Amazing Professor! Must take if you want true in depth analysis about financial markets and monetary policy.

Excellent professor, Brilliant economist! Always available after class. The material is dense but she makes every attempt to generate interest in the class. You will benefit the most if you participate in the class discussion

Very helpful professor and available outside class. Economics and monetary policy can be dry subjects at times but she does her best to show enthusiasm and deliver the subject material to students. Exams are straight out of the textbook, and homework is not heavy. Definitely take her.

Always easily accessible and open to go to and ask questions. She usually gives a huge pack of questions a week before a major test. These questions will probably on the test in some shape or form

A teacher that you can go to and easily ask any questions that you may have. Is very direct and easy to folloe

A nice and helpful professor

She is the one of best professors in Baruch. Seriously I have learned a lot from this class. Her approach is very practical and help you make an intelligent conversation with recruiters. If you want to get a front office position or analyst in business world, this class is A must-take. tests are not hard at all, and grading is absolutely fair.

Great professor and really brings the real world into the classroom. I really appreciated that she forced us to write short papers on economic data results. They are great talking points for interviews. Her tests are also fair and use the book's test bank so everything you need to know is in the textbook.

Nice and helpful professor. You will learn lot of things about current events and how you can apply the textbook knowledge to the real world.

Great Professor. She connected the economic theories to the real world. Would not mind taking her again.

She is a great professor. I enjoyed her class and actually learned a lot. She connects the real world to class so you can actually see how what you learn is relevant. Kind, and intelligent professor that cares for students who put an effort in. Take her! The class is not that much work, just a few projects and a presentation.

A pleasure to have taken. The course will challenge you, but Mrs. Jain is extremely helpful and clear in teaching the material. She does a great job at connecting the textbook material to real world application. Strongly recommend.

Professor Jain is amazing!her lectures are clear. She is a helpful professor. She brings us to the real macroeconomics world, eg. collect the accurate data of unemployment rate and compute the average. She also invites some economists to speak in our class. I have learned a lot from this class. I strongly recommend you to take her class.

Professor Jain is a fabulous instructor. Often, she teaches in a relatable way by linking class material to current events in the business world. One Midterm, final, quizzes, group paper, interesting case studies. Prof. Jain is always available during office hours; overall she is very helpful and the class was rewarding. I highly recommend her!!

I seriously don't understand the poor reviews. READ THE BOOK and read it before you show up to class. If you don't read the book, you will be lost because economics is really tough. She isn't exactly the most organized person, but her lectures are good. She gives plenty of practice material on BB, so if you do poorly its on you, it's not her fault.

I thought Parul was a great professor. She went our of her way to schedule additional office hours and she held additional review sessions for both the midterm and final. Material tested was only over stuff covered in class. Also, I felt she actually cared about whether we understood the material.

One of the best professors at Baruch. She made Macro interesting to everyone. Healthy balance of theory and real world experience. Forecasting economics indicators was fun and I won "forecaster of the month award".It does take quite a bit of time to do group projects but it is so worth it especially if you want to pursue career in finance

Professor Parul Jain is definitely one of the best teacher at Baruch. She made the subject interesting and practical. I not only learnt the theory but also the application of that knowledge. I would definitely recommend.

Professor Jain is one of my favorites at baruch! She is very understanding and makes difficult material easy to comprehend. Will definitely take again!

Highly recommend this professor for Finance and Economics majors. She was involved in Bloomberg projects and constantly links the material to her experience and real life situations, so you could think beyond pure equations. It's not an easy class and you definitely have to work on it, but professor's explanation makes it quite easy to comprehend.

Prof. Jain explained concepts really well and I understood many things for the first time. However the course was challenging so be prepared to put in time, but prof. is very accessible and her office hours are extensive. Do not hesitate to go and ask questions it worked very well for me. She is one of the best professor at Baruch that I had.

Prof. knows her stuff and was always there to talk after class . Very patient and clear, explains using real business examples for she worked in big financial companies before. I learned a lot from someone who loves the subject. Be prepared to put in time and register early since her classes fill up fast. Will take her again.

One of the best professor's I've had, she is very knowledgable and always available to help students. She relates the material to current events which makes it much more interesting. It's definitely one of the best classes I've taken and she is a brilliant professor. She's also super nice and caring.

Awesome prof!

Learning lots and lots this semester. More than any of my other classes at Baruch!

Very knowledgeable

Professor Jain is one of the best professor I have come across at Baruch College. She cares about her students and is always willing to help. She is knowledgeable about the subject and always relates it to the current events in order to help us gain a better realistic understanding of the concept.

Best prof. at Baruch. Learned so much. Great class.

her focus is showing you the way around Moody's and teaching you the basics of forecasting and analyzing index numbers/info. critiques your writing so you can be prepared to work in the eco/fin world. REALLY useful class. 2 exams, a few papers, all very easy. follow along with her BB readings if you really want to get the most out of this course.

The way she taught advanced macroeconomics was different from almost every other economics class I took at Baruch, and I mean that in a good way. She tried to show us how the theories we learn actually apply to the real world, and we looked at real world data all the time and had to conduct analysis (both qualitative and quantitative). Good class.

spring '16. curved class. a few ez assignments such as take home quizzes, individual and also group papers, 1 group presentation. u learn a lot from her but in terms of exams its basically a self learning class so study the slides. 1 midterm 1 final both same format. mostly multiple choice but remainder is question and answer. not ez, not 2 hard.

Even if you do not like economics, prof. Jain will make you enjoy it and want to come to her class. I earned a lot from this class. she really loves economics and her students, always available to answer questions. Trust me you wont regret taking her class. not an easy A, but not a hard one either.

Taking Prof. Jain for second time, wonderful professor who knows her stuff. She explains the real world economics so well, very knowledgeable about the fed Reserve. Lots of practical discussions and presentations. She is always available in her office and willing to answer questions. You need to do your readings and put in time, but grades are fair

The best prof. I ever had. Real good.

Just finished a course with this prof. Learned a lot, but gotta work hard. But all worth it.

I learned a lot in Prof. Jain's class. Just got a job and the stuff she taught really really helped me nail it. Best prof. that I have ever had. Wish all my profs had been like her.

Awesome and very nice professor. I remain in touch with her. Learned so much from her, though I had to work really really hard!

Professor Parul Jain has been teaching this course truly as a graduate course. I am happy I chose her for she made sure we are not wasting our time in her class. She goes above and beyond the textbook and she does require you in the test to master the knowledge from class, book, and extra materials. She is very good at returning graded materials.

Professor Jain was absolutely great! She made the lectures very engaging and interesting, not just flipping through slides unlike other professors. She also dedicates time outside of classroom and gives a fair curve. Would definitey take her again!
