Hard to understand with her accent, but she knows her stuff. Fairly good prof.

her accent is soo thick .. you are too busy trying to figure out what she is saying in class than actually understanding what she is saying.. a lot of homework problems.. but if you actually make time to go see her during office hours. she is helpful.

Dear entering BA/MA students: this is in one word a challenge. well, for most of you. if you're not mathematically keen, you'll be lost between Cati's words and mathematical simplicity that disguises as fanciful statistics theorems. Rec: READ THE TEXT.

Hard to understand at first, but you get used to the accent. She is always willing to help you understand, definetely go to office hours! Funny, nice woman. I got a B-

Other than her very strong accent, she knows her stuff and is a very dedicated prof. Arm yourself with the textbook (which btw is very good) and what she lectures and you'll be fine

The homeworks are really important. The tests consist of making graphs and basically no writing. However there were some tricky fill-ins. The book is really helpful. As for lecture, i fell asleep all the time. However, she is really nice and you can go to her hours and she helps sooo much.

Easy class. You really dont need to go to class, although she actually takes attendance in consideration when deciding how much to help you. You dont need the book or the articles.. just read the notes that will be posted online and you'll get an A. It is a very easy class and she will help you if you show interest on the subject.

Great woman, really interesting. In 369 she basically tells you stories of her living in Brazil. Tests arent hard- read the material and her notes. Shes always willing to help you, go to office hours! She notices ppl who put in effort and go to class. 369 is the most interesting econ class I've taken so far. No papers, 2 HWs, 1 midterm and final.

I almost didn't take her class because of the poor reviews here, but wow would htat have been a mistake. I think she's great! Her accent is really that bad, I understand what she's saying and she's so enthusiastic that she really gets you into it. The people who says she's bad are the one's who never come to class and are out getting fake tans;

Anyone who says her tests are impossible never came to class or read the book--it is not difficult to get an A in this course, and she is always willing to help you during her office hours. She is enthusiastic and helpful--considering how bad the macro professors are here, she is by far the best!

Professor Cati is an excellent professor and extremely helpful. She is willing to help students anytime and in any subject, even students that are not taking her classes. At first I was reluctant to take her class because of ratings here but she is the complete opposite of what people say. Provides you with all the resources in order to do well.

The single most HELPFUL professor I ever had at BU. Even outside of office hours and through email, she helps students a lot to understand concepts. She gives real life examples all the time for you to understand concepts better. My advice is read the book to fully comprehend the material preferably before the lecture. Exams are at fair difficulty.

Great Professor! Gives great examples in class, and is always willing to help.

Tough class people perceive her as hard however if you show the effort she will help you. Fair grader when you show your work and takes all work into consideration. I was by no means smart but i went to office hours and she helped me a bunch. If you put in the work she will get you through the class and you will understand the material

I felt that Professor Cati did a really great job teaching this class. I disagree with those who say her grading is "unfair" she rewards those who understand and does not allow her students to skate by just "memorize". If you want to take a class that I feel really clarified the basis of economics, take her class. But be prepared to work!

Extremely knowledgable, will reward students who take initiative. Sometimes can be difficult to understand, but a proactive attitude is your pass to a good grade and a valuable economics resource.

She's very tough. But she is there to help. If you put in the work and go to office hours it will pay off. Other than that her class is straight forward, nothing new on the tests that haven't been taught in class.

Best professor I have ever had. Easy to get A if you go to every lecture. Exam are really easy. In the lecture, she just doesn't like to spend much time on those easy calculations.

Great professor. She is willing to help you all the time. If you go to lecture regualry, you also could get extra credits.

Took two classes with her and she is a really nice person. Sometimes she can move quickly in lectures and if you don't do your assignments you will not do well on the exam. Also, attendance is really important. She likes to say things that are important for the exam in class so those who attend are rewarded.

Professor Cati is a very caring professor that is willing to put in extra time and work to help students succeed. Though she would sometimes go on off-topic rants in class, these were still interesting and informational. She does have many expectations for her graded material, but these expectations can be met by attending class. Great professor.

the class is hard but Professor Cati is very nice and will help you to succeed if you put in the effort

Prof. Cati is one of the only reason's I stayed an Econ major. The way in which she explains the material makes complex subjects very easy to understand. One thing that stands out about her the most is the effort she puts into teaching; other than the first day, she never read off a ppt. I will be taking my third class with her in the fall.

VGood. She is an economist who has previously worked in the private (banking) sector (most academics haven't). She asks you to "comment on x event", and won't spoon feed you solutions. This is a class for someone who wants to think about economics as it relates to the world, not memorize equations and models which are both unproven and unnecessary.

One of the most caring professors at BU. She will work with you on any questions you have, during office hours, emails, she truly cares about students who put in the effort. Her lectures can be difficult to follow at times but thats why you have to pay attention. If you have any questions she will answer them all. She is such a sweet teacher.

Regina is one of the best professors I have had. She really cares about her students and is very helpful outside of class. Regina wants you to learn. Tests are hard but manageable if you put in the work and go to class.

Final is not easy!!!

I have taken all three courses Regina has taught. She is perhaps the only reason I kept my major in Econ, as I found many of the other Econ professors hard to work with. She is very personable, and goes to great lengths to help any student seeking help. For her exams and finals, she always gives sample tests before to help. She is amazing!!

Regina in my opinion is the best professor for 203, and gives you so many resources to succeed in the class and remember the info taught after the class. She gives study guides, solutions to homework questions, sample problems, and is practically always available for extra help outside the course.

Intermediate Microeconomics is a difficult course at BU no matter who you take it with. Regina's teaching style is mainly through lectures that focus on solving problems in class. She does not lecture to review material simply for the sake of it. All of the lectures are important, and she always gives hints to exam questions in class.

Amazing and lovely teacher, fair grader, but hey, if you do not come to class, you might fail. Come to class, ask her questions, be active, you will be fine especially she gaves extra office hours and is always avaliable online. But beware, sometime she made mistakes and do not leave your monthly long homework till last minute.

The class itself is pretty challenging, but Cati does a good job at explaining. Sometimes she can go a little fast, but she has a lot of office hours. She is extremely understanding if you need an extension.

Regina is actually one of the best people I have ever met. She is really exceptionally caring and will help you to the ends of the earth if she needs to. If you care about your grade she will be there for you. The class itself is not easy and her tests are notoriously hard. I've never worked so hard in a class but she was helpful every step.

She is clearly very passionate about the course, although she jumps around in course content a lot she does want you to succeed. She is willing to take zoom meetings even on the weekend which helped a lot for the homework. Be prepared to learn the course from the book, but she is great if you have a good work ethic

Prof. Cati is such an amazing and caring teacher. I really learned a lot from her class. She didn't just read the PowerPoints but wrote down the notes on the blackboard, which was good to understand the concept. Spent a lot of time helping students and offered useful tips and advice when facing difficulties. Doing homework is important to get an A.

Professor Cati really cares about her students individually. Despite her age, she really tries her best to understand her students' problems. Her problem sets were very straight forward from the class and so as her finals.

Test is very important in this course. Homework is heavy but not important because all five homework only account for 10%. I suggest the following students preview the textbook before the lecture.

Professor Cati's accent makes it hard to understand the lecture and process the content learned during class. However, she is more than happy to help you during office hours and help you exceed in this course. If I have the opportunity to take a class with her again in the future, I would!

Regina really cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. She is extremely accessible outside class. If you are at all concerned about material she will make time to meet with you to provide help. Her grading is very fair, while she is picky about open-ended she curves the exams to compensate. If you want to do well attend lecture.

As a professor, she's a bit... disorganized. Her lectures are a mix of material and personal stories about Brazil. I made the mistake of asking her clarifying questions that resulted in a 10-minute tangent on Brazil. She's very kind and understanding but sometimes makes things more confusing than they are. I would recommend sticking to the textbook

I can tell you one thing about her. She is incredibly smart, like really, no doubt. I bet she is one of the smartest Economics professors in Boston.

Super good. EC369 lectures were extremely interesting and is very useful. This is actually economics in practice. You could imagine theory be put into practice.

She ACTUALLY tells students why we are learning things, I LIKE THIS. I feel that what I am studying is impactful.

She is supeerrrrr caring. students love her

i like cati's teaching way. she does not only talk, uses slides. she can inspire students about the subject. grading is ok, but curves are there, no problemo

smooth class. filled lots of hubs

best bu econ prof

Professor Cati is an extremely kind person who is always willing to help students even outside of class and well beyond the end of lecture periods. She is very experienced, but her lectures are often disorganized and make it difficult to follow along. A good chunk of the class is self learning.

Professor Cati is very passionate, she is willing to help you understand some difficult concepts. Just make sure that you follow her every class, and do well in problem sets and discussion questions. Then you will do well in the tests. Additionally, she is pretty generous in giving you a nice grade.

Don't let the accent deter you, she is very understandable and just learn how she does the problems and you'll be fine. the midterms are like the problem sets basically and the final is a little bit harder but it's nothing that you wouldn't be use to

project was very useful. course material not that hard. but very useful. easy a if you do the work...only if you do it

her lectures are different than others, but if you show up and try you will do fine. She is a kind grader and does many problems in class which are exactly like the tests. nothing unpredictable on the tests

Cati cares a lot about her students and makes herself available for you to learn the class material as long as you are willing to do so.

You will have to use all your focus to be able to understand her in class, but once you lock in on listening to her, her lectures aren't too bad. She is very funny and very clear about her grading criteria and what will be on exams. People who don't think she's clear are people who didn't attend lecture.

Cati gets a lot of flak for her accent and unorganized lectures, but she's actually a really nice professor. Going to discussion/office hours is necessary if you want to actually understand concepts and do well. The test questions are very similar to homework questions, so you always know what to expect.
