Very nice and truly wants to help students succeed. Attendance is not mandatory unless you choose to do the clicker questions in class. If you do not do those, half your grade is dependent on Aplia homework. However, I'd recommend doing the clicker ?'s (easier). Only 2 exams-if you flunk the first one, you have a chance to make it up on the final.

She has such as kind soul. I forgot about an assignment worth 5% of my final grade and she was generous to give me a makeup without a second thought. She really wants students to understand her lectures and apply econs into other work. :) love her. Totally recommend. If you ever fall behind she is would be glad to help.

I took the intersession class, and while it is a lot of homework, it was definitely worth it. Professor was kind and helpful and clearly cared about her students. As long as you're reading and doing the work, you'll pass easily.

I loved how clear all of her lectures were. If you showed up to class and payed attention the class was easily passable

Dr. Kuzyk makes learning Econ understandable. You're graded on questions every day in class, so attendance is critical. There's homework every night too, but it's not super tough and you shouldn't get too behind if you're paying attention.

Great professor, makes going to class enjoyable. Lots of homework but its all based on the slides for the particular day. Very nice, and is very willing to help you.

Professor Kuzyk is a great teacher. Econ isn't really my thing, but she is great at helping students conceptualize topics. There's homework every day, but it's based off the previous lessons. You're also graded on questions that she gives in-class. Overall I would highly recommend.

Kusyk is professional and you can tell that she is passionate about her job. However, if the first 4 out of 5 exams weren't taken outside of class, no one would pass. Her test questions are insanely hard. On top of that her in-class lectures are boring and her slides are jam packed of words. This makes understanding the topic EXTREMELY difficult.

Prof Kuzyk made class enjoyable. She really cares for her students and their success and makes you feel respected. If you do not go to class or do the work, you will not succeed in the class, but the work that she gives is very helpful for the tests, quizzes, and writing assignments. She is very professional and gets the to the point. Love her!

This class is difficult, do not get me wrong it is microeconomics and macroeconomics in one semester so it will not be easy. HOWEVER, she is generous with the extra credit, a very forgiving teacher, and is just a gem within the econ department. I had an issue with a grade and I emailed her during break and she responded and fixed the problem fast!

If you can take Dr. Kuzyk, take her!!!!! Class is lecture heavy, but she posts the lectures beforehand (pro tip take notes on them before class cuz you won't have time during class). 6 exams, all online mix of MC, drop down & fill-in-blanks. "Study Guides" aka practice exams are AMAZING!! TAKE THEM!! They are extra credit, plus template for exams.
