she's tuff bra y'all should take her. she makes da material easy to understand. iont even like da economy and its concepts but she teaches it very very well
Probably one of the best lecturers I've ever been taught by. If you show up, take good notes, and do the practice question sets (that are identical to her tests) then you'll pass this class easily. But if you skip class and miss her lectures, there's no way to pass the tests as there is no textbook.
JUST TO MAKE IT SHORT, professor Rowther is one of the best professor I have ever had! Attend classes to get 5 points extra credit and 4 extra point of a very easy assignment. No homework but only 5 tests throughout the semester!!! YOU MUST TAKE HER because not only your GPA will increase but also you will learn a lot at the same time!!
Took ECO 202 16wks and it was pretty easy. Just show up to her amazing lectures and pay attention. Shes a genuine professor and will answer any questions you will have. You will have total of 6 tests and she will drop the lowest grade. Also she had extra credit. Show up, pay attention, and its an easy A.
Professor Rowther is one of the best professors I have ever had. she is extremely knowledgeable about econ. She teaches you exactly what you need to know for the exams and is extremely straightforward with what will be on the exam, gives extra credit opportunities.
Mrs. Rowther is an excellent and very knowledgeable professor. She makes Econ interesting but it is definitely one of those classes where you have to follow along and take notes each class. She uses powerpoint and writes on the board a lot too. Attendance is important and don't miss an exam because it's not easy to make it up.
Good teacher. Bit difficult to understand. Test are hard and sometimes a bit intolerant.
I attended class only 3 times in the semester. There is attendance but I just signed the paper and left to have lunch. The exams are easy, just have to look at the powerpoint slides she posts on blackboard the day before the exam. Highly recommend the professor. Gives extra credit for attending class but there was no need for the extra credit.
Prof. Rowther is one of the best professors I've had at nova. She is great at giving lectures, hilarious, and very knowledgeable in the subject. Her lectures are mostly on the white board so don't miss class or you'll miss crucial information for the exams. She often allows cheat sheets for exams and gives great exam reviews!
Class is difficult. I worked very hard but barely passed the class.. I found Dr. Rowther difficult to understand. She tries to help after class, but it did not work for me. I did go to every class.
Professor Rashida is one of the best professors for Economics. I took her summer 6 weeks class. It was easy. she covers everything in the class. If you take notes and study then you will get an easy A. Just follow her class and 30/45 minutes study before every exam is enough. Provide extra credit also. Don't miss take her.
Prof. Rowther is absolutely amazing. She breaks the most difficult thing into easy and very understandable parts. She gives a lot of extra credit. She has 5 tests and one is dropped, all multiple choices. It is very easy to get an A in her class. I would 100% take her again.
Prof. Rowther is a very knowledgable professor in economics. Her class will be a bit challenging but if you pay attention and take good notes, you will be fine. She is very clear in explaining the theories and graphs. She also gives out a lot of extra credit that will bump your grade by a letter grade.
Very caring professor & will help you get the grade you want but definitely have to work hard. personally didnt think it was an easy A but once you work hard & study for the tests youll end up w an A. study the notes!!! most important thing to passing her tests. also posted grades fast so i really appreciates that
I thought econ would be math upon math but it wasnt so bad. There are 6 tests - she drops the lowest grade and gives EC which can bump your grade by a whole letter! The tests arent so bad - all MC. Attendance is mandatory if you want EC. She teaches pretty good but you have to revise the notes on your own to do well on the test. Is a good choice!
There is no homework. You are graded by sIx tests, each have around 20 - 25 questions, and she will drop your lowest score. There is extra credit. Show up to class and take notes. She goes over practice questions as a class and these questions are very close to what is on the tests.
BEST PROFESSOR IN NOVA. HOWEVER, EXPECT A LOT OF HARD WORK.
I depend on Rowther for Econ. Easy A. Attend class consistently & take notes, the study guides & practice are practically the test.
Prof. Is a good teacher.
Great Professor, knows what she is talking about, but most importantly knows how to teach it.
This summer would be my third time taking her. If she had more economics class to offer I would have taken it. Why she is the BEST Econ professor: 1. Gives you 10 extra points for just showing up, which bumps your letter grade from B to an A 2. Goes over and over a topic until you understand
A good professor, and understanding on her grading/attendance criteria.
best professor ever. i highly recommend her.
the best econ prof ever. highly recommended. take her you won't regret.
Sit in the front because her lectures require lots of writing. Most of the test materials will be written on the board. She gives out study guide for the test. There are 6 tests and she'll drop the lowest one. You're not require to take he last one if you're happy with your grades after test 5. She gives out extra credit as well.
Her lecture is boring and she just keeps going and doesn't even care much if anyone understands.
Easy Econ course with this professor, 6 tests the entire semester and no homework! Great Lectures!
Rashida Rowther is the best professor for Econ! You take 6 quizzes and the lowest grade is dropped. You get extra credit for coming to class everyday which is 5 points added to grade and gdp extra credit assignment which is 4 points added to your grade. NO homework just 6 quizzes!
Very understandable lectures, will go back if you don't get it. 5 tests, drops the lowest one. Tests are not that bad with moderate studying. Extra credit is available, an A is immanent with participation, attendance and extra credit. I will seek out Professor Rowther for my next Econ Class. With extra credit my grade was 104%
she is one of the best prof. at NOVA. Take her class, you won't regret it. Highly recommend her.
Took for 6-week summer class and it was quite easy for me. I don't understand how people found the test difficult at all but each to their own I guess. There were no homework, just two easy extra credit which can bump you up a letter. Try not to miss class because not all notes are on power-point. I scored perfectly on all test and got over 100.
I don't usually write reviews, but Professor Rowther is literally one of the best professors ive had at NOVA. She's kinda sassy, but is SO nice. Class is very easy and if you pay attention and take good notes you wont even have to study. No homework, 4 exams, extra credit! TAKE HER, you cant get anything lower than a B
Professor Rowther is one of the best professors that I have had during my time at NOVA. Her lectures are easy to understand, she breaks the content down into small chunks and checks for your understanding after going over each topic. She also puts out study guides before each test so that you know what topics will be covered. Overall, very easy A.
Professor Rowther is so nice and she makes her lectures funny. She relates her lectures to real-world stuff so you can understand. You will have to study to do well on tests. You have to print out the notes and practice tests yourself though. I've never enjoyed econ this much. Take her you will not regret it!!
Great!
She is awesome. Lays out the entire semester for you so you know exactly what to expect. 6 tests and drops the lowest one. As long as you pay attention and review the practice questions she gives you for each chapter then its an easy A. She puts in a lot of effort to drill home her points so you understand. Extra credit opportunities also.
Prof. Rowther is great. Take her, you won't regret
Professor Rowther class is easy as long as you pay attention and take notes & do your practice worksheet which she'll go over in class. 6 test drops the lowest & 10 extra credit points 5 from attendance and other 5 she will tell you. No homework just show up to class and pay attention. 10 points r going to help you a lot if you have B it will be A
Pretty good professor. Her 6 exams are fairly easy, but each is only twenty points so you cannot miss many questions. Lectures are pretty borring but if you miss less than 3 classes your get 5 points extra credit. Grade is made up by 6 exams (lowest one dropped) and 10 extra credit points. Test are based off class practice questions.
Thorough. Clear expectations. Good communicator. Taking her again for micro. Take her!
The class difficulty was medium, mainly due to her teaching skills, not quite my tempo (she scribbles on the board for a good hr and a half). She is also quite the character, she can be nice I guess at times but expect high school like lectures (yelling)each class about getting off the phone, pay attention, etc(wastes time not to mention annoying)
For me, her lectures are not that heavy. If I have some difficulty, I usually go and see her during her office hours or I emailed her. No homework except for practice sets to prepare you for the tests. She gave extra points for attendance and for extra credit homework.
Her lectures are not that heavy. She gave 6 tests and will dropped your lowest score. Her tests are fairly easy. No homework except for the extra credit and practice sets to prepare you for the tests. She also gave extra points for attendance.
6 Test and 10 Extra Credit (5- Attendance Credit, and 5- Extra Credit from the Test) - ! No Homework! Make sure to listen to her lecture, because everything that she has taught are on the test! No Textbook Needed! The Class is Easy A in my opinion because of the extra credit. I had 85% for all the test but the extra credit bumped it up to 95% - A
As the course transitioned to remote learning, Professor Rowther transitioned to become one of the most effective remote zoom instructor. In intend to take summer class with her.. glad she is in schedule... remote or face to face, she is one of the best. Take her .. you will not regret!
If you want to get an A and an easy class, TAKE HER. Her remote learning is as good as the in-person class. The class consists of 5 tests, she drops the lowest one. Most importantly, she gives you 10 extra points which means if you have 80, you will get 90. Her lectures are great as well, she repeats over and over until it gets stuck in your head.
Dr. Rashida is one of the most caring professors I had at NOVA. No matter if you are a visual or auditory learner, her online online lectures and notes were clear and she reviews you well for the exam. For the exams, I will guarantee you get an A if you take notes and review the practice sets. Highly recommended for virtual learning!!
Professor Rowther is amazing. She gives 5 tests and drops the lowest grade. The material is easy and straightforward, the class is laid out perfectly. All the material comes from her, so it is really easy to understand She really makes sure we learn what she is teaching. Among the best professors I have ever had. There is 1 extra credit assignment.
Just an AMAZING Professor. Simple and clear lectures. Very caring. Took her this summer. 4 test.
Awful professor, you'll have trouble understanding her because of her thick accent. Save your money and take another person. Trust me.
Great prof. She was caring and the workload was fair and easy. If you listen and pay attention to the presentations, you will get a good grade.
I recommend Professor Rowther, her lectures are clean and easy to understand. If you listen in class and do the review sheets/study guide, there is no reason to fail. She is very caring and extremely organized. I really enjoy her class.
Loved her! She is the absolute best. She always engages with her students and makes sure they understand the content. If you attend class, take the extra credit practice quizzes during class, and take notes, you will get an A.
I've taken Professor Rowther for both of my required ECO courses at NOVA. Due to the pandemic, I had to take her courses entirely online, through lectures and online work. Though the upheaval has introduced new challenges in teaching, Professor Rowther was able to teach us effectively, and it's clear she has passion for her career and students.
her lectures are crystal clear. all you have to do is show up and she gives you the test answers plus 13% extra credit. no homework expect to study the test which she already gave during lecture practice. there is no cons about this professor at all just show up and pay attention
Professor Rowther is an amazing professor. Her teaching style is very clear and it is very encompassing. Her lectures and power-points are laid out in the best way possible and she makes even the most difficult concepts, comprehensive. If you turn on your cameras, she will appreciate it very much and participate in the practice questions!
I took both classes eco 201 and 202 with Professor Rowther, she is one of the best professors at NOVA. She is very clear about the grading process and the expectations for the class so if you pay attention and stay involved with the material you will get an easy A. she gives 2 extra credit opportunities She is also responsive to email. Take her
She teaches in a very organized manner and lays everything you need to know out. The lecture is test heavy with 5 tests, some practice tests, and attendance. There's a major 13% extra credit boost at the end of the year if you finish all practice tests and have no more than 3 absences. She made the material super easy to understand 10/10
She was super nice but lectures were extremely heavy. They were 3 hours long w/ maybe a 15 min break. You took the tests during class time & 98% of the time you had to come to class after the test. Lockdown w/o camera for tests & we dont need our camera on during zoom. None of her content is on quizlet cuz she creates her own which was annoying.
study her PowerPoints, and practice quiz thoroughly as they are mainly what the exams consist of. Do this along with paying attention in her class and you will certainly pass, she is a sweetheart as well and very understanding
Great Professor overall, very respectable. Teaches in a style geared to make you succeed, that being said you must be willing to put in the effort. You will get out exactly what you put into this course. There are no shortcuts around you will not be able to finesse a good final grade. She is very organized and uses study guides which are helpful.
She is literally the best teacher ever. She make econ really easy for everyone to understand. TAKE HER!
She is clearly a subject matter expert. 5 exams comprise your grade, but you are given more than enough to excel in this course. From the extra credit to how she gives her lectures & practice assignments. I ended up with an 101.67% I will take her for Macroeconomics, she teaches in a way that makes it easily digestible, highly recommend!
You need to make an effort if you want a good grade, but she makes the class super easy. Her notes are the best and easy to read. There were five tests that had their pros and cons. Everything you have to do is study, but she always makes sure you understand. Take her if you want to learn something!
Solid teacher. Gives 15 points extra credit and no homework. The only things you receive grades on are attendance and six tests so I wouldn't recommend this class to someone with test anxiety.
Professor Rowther makes economics straight forwards and easy. In-person classes really help to retain the lectures and do well on tests. Up to 15 extra credit points that are simple to get and I didn't need to take the final because of them.
Average professor. Lectures are long and boring. Took both ECO201 and ECO202 with her. Would highly recommended the 6 week class over the 15 week class as it goes by faster and felt easier. No homework, your only graded on 4-5 test and you can boost your grade by 15% with extra credit which is attendance/quizzes.
I would fully recommend taking this class with Professor Rowther, she's great. The class was alright. The lectures can get a little boring, but she explains things clearly. Exams play a big part in your grade, but they are doable.
She made Econ class so much easier and more understandable than my other Econ class. I took the 8-weeks course but the materials were not cramped or rushed at all. 4 exams with each worth 25% of your grade and they were pretty easy if you took some notes.
One of the best professors that I have ever had. Her class was an easy A and she gives many opportunities to make your grade amazing great. Both times that I took her class I received above 100% with ease and as long as you take good notes during lecture you will have a very easy time passing your tests.
I am currently taking Professor Rowther's class and so far the class has been easygoing. I was intimidated at first, but she made lectures easy to understand by going over the material step by step. I'm doing very well & as long as you come to class, take notes, & ask for help, if needed, then passing shouldn't be a problem. Awesome Professor!
0 homework, 5 tests, and up to 13pts extra credit. She provided comprehensive study guides for each test which made studying for them really easy. Avg grade was 80%. Taking her class right now and it ended a whole week early, which is great. Easy to understand and explained the concepts nicely + plus using analogies. The material itself isn't hard.
I highly recommend this professor, I am taking another class with her next semester
Professor Rowther is an incredibly caring person and she makes the lectures a lot more enjoyable with her humor and personal experience. The class is graded on only 5 MC tests (non-cumulative) so no hw or other projects. She also offers an extra 15% in extra credit through optional "quizzes" and attendance. No textbook was needed, lecture only.
The course was lecture heavy. However, Professor Rowther made it easier to understand by reviewing the practice quiz sets. Short quizzes are to complete before the end of class, given 5 mins and unlimited attempts. Lockdown browser is required to take exams; 5 exams in total. No projects and no homework.
Professor Rowther's class is one of the few that I eagerly anticipate. Despite the complexity of economics, she makes it seem simple in her instruction. Prof. R does a fantastic job presenting material in a greatly detailed matter. Modules are neat & concise. If you show up, participate, & really understand the core concepts, she'll help you excel!
No HW, non-cumulative tests (5), and clear notes. Take detailed notes, don't slack. She offers great examples and visually appealing notes that really help things make sense. 3 EC pts for
I am currently taking the class online. This professor is very caring, she uses PowerPoint and teaches clearly. 1. Quiz after each module-unlimited attempts 2. Exam Open books 3.Attendance and extra credit. You get the knowledge and a good grade. I did not think economics could be this interesting. Thank you so much Professor.
Professor Rashida is a fantastic Teacher, I took two classes with her, Macro and Micro. her class is easy just put your effort into her class and that's an easy A. Take her classes and you wouldn't regret it
I love her lectures! She explains very well and thorough.
She is so funny, one of my favorite classes I have taken this semester. She's very lecture-based so I recommend taking a lot of notes. She's very sweet and her lectures are easy to understand.
I would walk on glass for Prof. Rowther. She somehow manages to explain math concepts in a way that penetrates my feeble little dyslexic and dyscalculic brain. The course is graded on only a few assignments but there's plenty of extra credit available. They should be paying this woman one million dollars per semester. 10,000,000/10. Take her class.
Everything on the test is covered in the lectures and her powerpoints. She has powerpoints and you can follow along as she lectures on the board. Extra credit is based on attendance and doing the practice tests (5 points total). Rlly great prof- take her by all means!
Professor Rashida wasn't originally supposed to be my professor for my 7 week course since my original professor couldn't teach the class anymore BUT OMG that was a blessing in disguise. She made the material clear as Crystal and keep in mind this was her first time doing a 7 week course. If you pay attention you will pass no doubt.
Professor Rowther's class was good. She is a very chill personality and explains the content well. The PowerPoints she uses are amazing tools and have everything you need to study. Plenty of extra credit assignments. She is a good professor who gives you every opportunity to get a good grade.
Really good teacher, she basically gives u an added 15% to your grade if you do the extra credit homeworks on time (which take like 2 minutes to do) and attend class. Great lectures, not a lot of work, and will work with you if you need extra help.
She is one of the best.
I took her 6-week summer course and it was effortless. If you take notes in class you'll be fine and she has a lot of extra credit. As long as you listen this is the easiest A you will receive. Overall, great professor and not that hard of a class.
Her syllabus is not clear. She adds rules and guidelines that do not correspond to the initial syllabus throughout the course. The lectures are time consuming but work load is low.
Professor Rashida makes the subject matter engaging. Attend lectures, take notes, and utilize resources like unstuckstudy ai - you'll get an easy A. She's caring, clear, and keeps the workload manageable.
Had her for Microeconomics and OMG. Gave up to 15% extra credit just for good attendance and doing her practice quizzes which consist of 4 questions that were drilled into ur skull in her lectures. Tests contained everything we went over in classes and were awesome. WOULD TAKE AGAIN
She was alright to me. The course had five exams with extra credit practice quizzes and attendance. Lectures were heavy and time-consuming. She says, "You guys understand that," a lot, even though she is not discussing the topic. The workload is very low.
The class was straightforward with five tests, and the questions closely mirrored the practice tests. Memorize those, and you'll get an easy A. She provides all her presentations online and has a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed her class and can't wait to take more of her courses!
10% Extra cred from practice quizzes 5% Extra cred from good attendance 15%!!! As long as you pay attention for the full lectures and do like10 minutes of studying, you should get an A, even without the extra cred. Professor Rowther is engaging and has stories to tell, but can be a little harsh for those that don't meet her low expectations.
TAKE HER!!! She gives great explanations for the lecture so that I can easily understand and navigate within the class time. I don't have much to deal after and just review a bit before exams. Her grading is based on 5 major tests of each module (easy A). Extra credits includes doing quizzes (4 questions, no limit time or attempt) and attendance.
One of the nicest professor. Not too much homework but tests heavily affect your grade. I messed up in the first test but somehow I got B grade in the class which I did not expect but because she gave a lot of extra credits.
Class is very easy, lectures are very clear, small amount of work. Exams are easy to take and the homeworks are done in the class after lecture with the whole class.
Class has only 5 tests, so if test taking isn't your strength be careful. Lectures get boring since she mostly teaches from the whiteboard. Not too hard overall. You get 10 extra points for all practice quizzes and 5 more for under 3 absences. so if you finish with a 80 after the 5 tests you would have a 95 She has an accent but is understandable.
Professor Rashida is a great teacher. She takes the time to patiently and calmly explain everything, making complex topics easy to understand. Her exams are always multiple choice; she gives you many ways to get extra credits, so it's very hard to fail this course. She's also incredibly kind. Just complete the quizzes and don't miss the classes.
