She's an awesome teacher - get her if you can
She's very easy to understand. If anyone has a question, she goes over topic again without being condescending. Tests are also very easy if you attend class.
Love Economics almost as much as cake. . . OK, so I don't know how much she loves cake. But who doesn't love cake? But seriously, it's hard not to be excited with her.
She's pretty good looking and I don't really pay attention. So I rate her a 8 out 10 on hots
Very organized and easy to understand. Offers alot of extra credit opportunities, which is always a plus.
She's a great prof in that she clearly explains things and makes sure that the students understand the concepts associated with econ...which aren't always the easiest thing in the world
She gives way too hard of tests and doesn't lecture on it, but stuff out of the book instead.
Very good about helping students with unclear concepts. Tests are easy if you do a little bit of prep.
Extra credit! Do the online quizzes because some ?'s are on test, also helps prep. Makes Econ interesting. Only Econ class I aced.
Awesome teacher. Refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic about teaching mostly freshmen. She's in love with Alan Greenspan which just adds to the classes entertainment.
Great teacher, makes class easy and has very easy tests.
Very engaging professor. Class lectures are as interesting as they can be. Tests are very easy and predictable. Just memorize any quiz or worksheet answers. Attended class about 33% of the time and got an A-.
Prof. Kuzyk was very fair. I got an A- when she could have easily given me a B+. I will never forget those supply/demand lectures. Plus, she's mega hot. But stay away, b/c her husband is a physicist and he's not afraid to use mass times acceleration.
I took an honors class from her, a little tougher than her others I think, but well worth it. She is my favorite professor that I've had in any class, engaging lectures, explains well.
I thought she was a very easy teacher. Also there was a lot of extra credit.
She is an AWESOME professor!!
Great prof. Very helpful in and out of class. She is great at comming up with analogies to help expalain concepts.
If you can, take a class from her. She's a VERY easy prof to have, but still makes you work at the same time.
No Comments
She is an awesome teacher. The class has a decent amount of work but she gives you plenty of time and is always great about helping you, and making sure you know what you are doing
gives good explanations for equations
One of my favorites at WSU, she has a pleasant voice, is enthusiastic, funny and uses great analogies to explain things..not to mention shes not bad to look at either.
The course was very challenging, especially with no economic background. However, Professor Kuzyk was very thorough and helpful in her explanations, and was more than willing to explain things during her office hours and even at the end of class. One of my favorite professors, even though Economics is one of my worst subjects!
Hard quizzes; however, she is willing to go the extra mile to help. Extremely helpful person...she even GAVE me a book to use for the semester for additional studying. I highly recommend!
Tough class but she makes it easier. Show up to class and you will be rewarded.
Great teacher. Funny and very nice. Very good about answering email questions. Gave so much homework extra credit I did only half the homeworks and still got like 130% in homework. Tests were just multiple choice and she would sometimes give ec for the test to those that went to class the day before a break or something.
Awesome teacher, even though I don't like econ. I would definately recommend her to anyone. Go to her office hours and she'll drop everything to help you. :)
Great class. Kuzyk tells hilarious stories, I always look forward to it.
For econ 102, she only has a midterm and a final. So far the midterm was easy, and she uses Discover Econ which allows you to do the home over and over again untill you get 100% Pick her over Wandschnieder.
If you?re going to take Econs take it from her. She is really good at explaining things and doesn?t try to confuse anyone. Homework is worth fifty percent of your grade and you can do it as many times as you want until you get one hundred percent. Exams are hard but just study. Overall great teacher I wished I would have taken her for 101 too.
Professor Kuzyk is without a doubt one of the best teachers I've ever had. I went into econ thinking it would be horrible but she made it enjoyable and interesting. I actually looked forward to coming to class.
She is a great teacher and makes things easy to understand. The only issue is that her grading system sucks. If you're like me and are horrible at taking tests this might not be for you. Homework is 50% of your grade and tests are 50%. There is only a mid-term and final but they are really hard. Overall she was really good.
One of the best teacher's i have had at WSU. She is very helpful and always answers emails. I loved her grading system and shes extremely understanding and gives her students every opportunity possible to get a good grade. Deffinately take ECON from her!
Easy grading/exams. You can retry homework until you get 100 and use notes on exams. She presents difficult material in pretty simple terms. Gives you very thorough review materials and lots of practice problems in preparation for the exams. She's very helpful and is always willing to answer questions. Mostly engaging, low-stress class.
She is an excellent teacher, a true professor. She's very easy. Love her smile! And you know what, her dressing is always perfect. I actually kind of wish I was in Econ major.
Super helpful. I hate econ so much but she made it somewhat tolerable. She gives alot of extra gredit and rounds up and the end of the semester. If you have to take econ i strongly suggest you take her. I had to drop it the first time i took it.
Dr Kuzyk is the best teacher I've ever had. She really cares about her students, is great a teaching the subject, and challenges the students with reasonable expectations. A couple times she canceled homework because we all looked worn out. Take her class if at all possible!
she' super nice!!!she's the best!!
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.
amazing teacher, best teacher I have had at WSU
Wow, Dr. Kuzyk is amazing. She cares so much about her students--she'll always make time for you if you need help. Her class was difficult but she's the type of teacher that you want to work hard for. I have a fondness for economics that I wouldn't have otherwise had if I didn't take her class. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!
For her age, she's a looker. She's fun, relative, and not at all too demanding. Heck, I even found out that she plays ice hockey! How effin' cool is that? See you on the ice prof! One thing I hope she would get rid of is that darn clicker of hers which requires you to PAY to register it online after making the initial purchase of the clicker itself
Extremely engaging teacher with a genuine love for teaching. She takes challenging concepts in economics and makes them understandable.
She takes a boring subject like econ and makes it somewhat interesting. Awesome/funny stories. She is such a nice person and very helpful. HW: medium. Tests: medium. Class: easy.
Kuzyk is a very good teacher. She offers alot of extra credit and can really impact your grade if you go to class. Tests are not too difficult. I would recommend taking her!
She's has a great personality and solid teaching skills as well as a great communicator. In other words a solid professor. She makes the class interesting and fun. Her syllabus is solid and does not bring doubts to mind.
Awesome teacher! Makes explanations very clear. Homework is submitted in groups. She gives us study guides for each test with the exact material to study for each question. Also, she is very sweet and you can tell she actually cares about her students.
she's the best!
Good teacher, easy class kinda funny
BEST ECON102 TEACHER!! she gives you every opportunity to do well by calculating your grade multiple ways and giving you the best. hw is optional, no tests just quizzes and gives you a detailed study guide for each one of exactly what you need to know. so helpful and explains things well! get this teacher for sure!!!
Amazing prof!! Makes confusing material easy to understand.only downside is if you miss class, its difficult to catch up
Expectations are clear. Fair. Would love to take another class she teaches
AMAZING
Excellent prof! Makes Econ interesting and gives you many opportunities to get a good grade! Take her for sure!!!!
Awesome professor, does a great job of making the intro to macro and micro economics interesting. Keeps classes lighthearted and is supportive to all students.
Great professor who actually makes the intro to micro and macro economics interesting.
Take her for sure if you can get her. She's the best.
She is very nice. She made thing easy to understand. There is no reason that I want to skip her class. Even though I usually forgot to take the online assignment, but I am very surprise that I get a B. She is very helpful!
she was one of the best teachers i've ever had. She explains really well and clear. There's lots of extra credits you can get. And tests are easy and clear also. She definitely made Macroeconomics easy for me.
Seriously, my favorite professor ever. Everyone said that the combo class of Micro and Macro Economics in one semester would just be downright crazy, but it really wasn't with her as a teacher.
Very good teacher. Her lectures are clear, but it really helps to read the book to get a better understanding of the material. Attendance isn't required, she also doesn't do exams, just frequent, low-point quizzes.
While the work itself for ECON 198 is somewhat challenging, she is so incredibly helpful. She is really nice and genuinely cares whether or not you're doing well. If you don't get something, feel free to ask during class and she'll explain it for everyone, and if you need extra help, she is really accommodating for her office hours.
Great Professor. Nothing else needs to be said, she is very approachable and is always nice.
I had a horrible prof for micro but she made macro as interesting as a dull subject could be. One of the best teachers ever.
Very helpful,genuinely look forward to going to class
Great teacher, very helpful. Wants everyone to succeed and knows the material. We had an online book, very helpful to read it. Clicker question. good teacher, good class
She looks fantastic for her age. Great teacher. She really cares and dresses very nicely. My econ 101 teacher was terrible but she was fantastic. I got a B in her class without really trying. She offers a ton of extra credit so make sure to do it.
Ms. Kuzyk is THE best economics teacher at WSU. Her lectures are really helpful and unlike my 101 teacher, she actually interacted with the class. I looked forward going to this class because I felt like I had learned so much from her. She gives a lot of extra credit.
I've taken Professor Kuzyk's classes both online and in the classroom setting. She is a fantastic professor. She is fair, intelligent, helpful, respectful, and funny. If you have an opportunity to take a class from her, do it!
I loved her! I hated economics though.. But she always was extremely helpful and clear with explaining things during her office hours. She drops the two lowest test scores and allowed a page of notes for the final!
Professor Kuzyk has been my favorite professor at WSU, by far. The class is difficult - you'll have daily homework and it's easy to fall behind - but you'll do your homework in groups. She also genuinely cares about the success of her students and is always open to questions. Although the subject is tough, you won't regret taking this class!
She was an awesome professor. The subject is pretty easy at first but gradually gets more difficult. It isn't a cake walk class, but you won't fail if you keep up on the homework. Her grading is extremely fair. She dropped the lowest two tests and gave up a whole page of notes on the final front and back! Overall an awesome prof!
Just great
Hands down an easy class, and great professor. I never go to lecture but have gotten an A on all the tests. Click questions come are solid and give you 5% extra credit. Basically in order to get an A, you only need an 88% in the class.
I absolutely loved this professor. Her lectures made a confusing and boring subject interesting. She is so genuine, passionate, and professional. She wants her students to understand and succeed.
Doesn't explain things very well in class. She doesn't really ever seem to grasp the concept that none of her students are econ grad students. Her lectures are alright, but dreadfully boring. Do not take her class if you have an option to take it with a different professor.
Average student here (2.8 GPA) this was a challenging class and I had to work hard for a B-. Figured out that attendance and paying attention in class makes tests easier. Don't rely on just reading out of the book, go to class. Tests are pretty hard but the page of notes helps a lot. Explains stuff well and office hours are useful. Good professor.
She was a nice teacher, very knowledgeable about the subject, but did not make economics applicable to students. I was lost the entire class. She tried to answer my questions, but it did not help.
I took the online version. No prof interaction unless you asked her a question as the textbook and assignments were all thru an online program. I can't really rate her as a teacher since she didn't do much "teaching" in the traditional sense. This format works for well for me though, so it was fine. She was helpful and quick to respond to emails.
She is very nice, helpful and gives you lots of opportunities for late assignments and extra credit. However, econ is a hard subject and the way she explained it was confusing. I couldn't learn from her so i basically went to the tutor or used the book.
A nice, easy class. The professor will go over anything you need to. Do your homework, read your textbook. There's opportunity for extra credit and making up a bad test. She's really accommodating.
Professor Kuzyk is the best professor I have yet had at WSU. Her enthusiasm for Econ is almost tangible. She went out of her way to make sure we understood the material and was a pleasure to listen to in class. She's got a great personality, which made her a very effective lecturer. Her class was what inspired me to change my major to Economics.
Pat is really enthusiastic about economics and is a great teacher. If you attend class everyday you can get lots of extra credit. I took Econ 101 before Econ 102 and I definitely think 101 was easier than this class, but that's just me. I enjoy economics but sometimes it's difficult to wrap my head around the concepts in 102. I would take her!
Econ is a difficult subject in general, but she breaks it down and explains it pretty well. Its tough to teach but she does it well.
This class was extremely hard. A very good teacher I will admit, but the tests are 20 questions and you can only get like 3 wrong to receive a good grade. I would study for like 15 hours before the tests, understand the material, and easily get the question wrong because it's multiple choice. There's also pre AND post class quizzes, plus papers.
Clicker points were twelve percent of your grade, so you can't skip class all the time. Kuzyk was hand down one of the nicest most understanding professors I have had!
The subject itself is pretty difficult to understand but she is a great professor and is very enthusiastic about economics. She gives you study guides for tests. There are also pre class quizzes and post class quizzes, which do take a chunk of time to complete, and two papers you have to write.
Dr. Kuzyk is a really good teacher despite Econ 102 not being a super easy and exciting subject. If you want to get an A in this class you need to thoroughly read her study guides days before the tests and show up to class everyday. If you don't study for her tests you will most likely bomb them.
Dr. Kuzyk is a great professor, and clearly has a passion for not only teaching economics, but also for her students to fully understand the content. Macroeconomics is not necessarily an easy nor exciting subject to the average person, but Dr. Kuzyk makes the student learning experience a priority, even with a large lecture class.
She is an awesome professor who is engaging and willing to help her students out. Definitely show up because of clicker Q's. She posts the slides online after each lecture and the questions on them are used for the exam. Easy class if you show up and do the busy work. Tests are easy if you pay attention.
Pretty easy class, professor hardly interacts with students at all (granted it was online). Grade consists of 3 insanely ridiculously easy writing assignments (seriously easiest things ever), 3 pretty easy tests (1 of which is optional) & 2-3 homework assgns each week, +EC. Professor doesn't get involved much, & you don't learn too much about Econ
Takes attendance through iClicker questions. Understands the subject extremely well and teaches is effeciently.
You definitley need to study hard for the exams if you want to do well on them. However, I didn't do great on any of the tests but completed all the homework, papers, and clicker questions and somehow ended up with an A so I think she curves the class. As long as you make an effort you should be able to easily get an A.
She made me interested in Econ and made you want to learn about economics. I would definitely recommend her! Almost wish I could take more classes with her.
Enjoyed Kuzyk as a teacher. Good sense of humor and really knows her econ. There was a quiz every class so attendance is not an option.
Professor Kuzyk was hands down my favorite teacher for the fall semester, she was extremely enthusiastic about her class. she does clicker quizzes at the start of every class, they are worth a lot of your grade. she does two or three in class assignments per class, writing assignments are easy. Study for tests and you'll be fine.
I loved her class! She gives you all the materials you need to pass her class and her lectures are clear and organized. I would recommend this class and any other classes that she teaches. She really seems to care about her students and I really enjoyed her.
She is honestly there for you when you reach out. She's super kinda and her teaching schedule is very clear. Sadly, econs itself is a very confusing topic so its normal to get lost some days. :) if you talk to her, she'll be glad to help you out. lecture powerpoints are online and are a great resource.
I really like this class, she's very willing to help her students succeed.
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.
Dr. Kuzyk made me switch my major to Econ. Walks you through the dismal science step by step.
She is a very caring teacher who tries to make sure you really understand the concept!! Would definitely take again, she's awesome!!!
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.
She is very nice and makes ECON the easiest i've seen.
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.
She is the greatest professor ever! I had her for econ 198 and she made the class fun and amazing and I still talk to her a year later I would for sure recommend her!
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.
dont buy the textbook i never touched it. fairly easy since all the exams except the final are take home. do the extra credit and go to class for participation.
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.
