Very good teacher!!

Professor Avin is always availible to help you, and she explains everthing well.

Awesome! Super easy and helpful! A little hard to understand at first but you'll get used to it.

She was very helpful not only with class material but general school life! She tells you exactly what you want and makes sure you have enough practice. She teaches so people understnad and pass with good grades!

venus and serena's long lost older sister- good teacher- give it a week and you'll start to understand her accent....tests are really easy if you study any of the material and math/graph work.....yeah, she's a tennis star in disguise....

She is extremely nice and knows what she is talking about. Her class is really easy and she gives a lot of opportunities so you dont' do bad. She has a little speech problem, but it's nothing major.

You will get used to how she talks. Overall pretty decent and isn't too hard of a grader. She uses a study guide book that will help throughout the course a ton!

Very clear- gives outlines for each chapter that state exactly what you need to know for the test. Gives a lot of extra credit opporunities, both on exams and outside of class. Gives quizzes before test that take material directly from the test. I also had no problem understanding her accent. I would take her again.

Good teacher with easy to follow material. WARNING: She is very liberal and quite supportive of socialist ideas. Her lectures are ideologically biased in this sense.

Dr. Avin is probably the best professor I have had at UWEC. She demands excellent work for an excellent grade. At the same time her demands are not overbearing. Her classes will challenge your ways of thinking.

good teacher overall

A Nice lady, and explains things well. She Goes over things, over and over, which is boring but you really learn what you are doing. If you pay attention you will do well.

Excellent professor, by far my favorite... She's very clear and offers a lot of extra credit. She's passionate and motivating. Definitely recommended!

Lots of reading and all essay exams. Lectures are boring and dry. The class isn't very hard, but I thought I would learn a lot more.

Avin is kind of hard to understand with her accent, but it grows on you. The class isn't really hard at all. All you need to know if given right to you in powerpoint lectures. She offers a lot of extra credit and lets you drop your lowest quiz scores.

I found that she made what we were learning clear and understandable.

She is hard to understand, but the material is interesting and the course is fairly easy. Getting an A is definitely possible.

her worksheets are basically the quizzes and her powerpoints are basically the tests and she explains everything pretty clear, despite the accent....

Easy to follow and very williing to help

She's a very good teacher, but sometimes hard to understand because she's from Hati. She prints out notes and gives you plenty of opportunity to raise your grade. She is a little intimidating but overall a very good teacher

She is very helpful if you go in for office hours. She is a very intelligent woman and not only knows a lot about ECON, but also a lot about other things. I liked hearing what she had to say, but the class was boring and it was easy to zone because of her accent. She is also very intimidating.

I love Prof. Avin! She's extremely nice and, for the most part, easy to understand. Lectures put me to sleep more than once--powerpoint in a dark room. Quizzes almost every week, powerpoint notes on D2L. Almost impossible not to pass this class.

Dr. Avin's class was easy. If you show up, read the book, buy the workbook, print off the powerpoints and study guide and use them, you will get an A. Her tests are based off of the study guide and workbook. Some of the test questions come right out of the workbook.

Avin is a super easy teacher. She tests are pretty much her powerpoints. If you print off the powerpoints you'll do fine. Quizes are easy, tests are pretty easy. She's real easy to talk to and ask questions. I personally don't like economics, but she made it easy to understand. TAKE HER!

Pretty easy class. Tests are the most challenging part, but as long as you study her power points that she puts on d2l you will do fine. Randomly takes roll so you can skip class quite a bit and as long as you print off the power points you don't have to worry about getting behind. Lots of office hours.

Smart woman. knows her stuff. kind of boring, but she really gets into her lectures.

Professor Avin is a great professor. She's a bit hard to understand at the beginning at the semester, but you get used to her accent. She is VERY organized and the class is a breeze. Final is not cummulative.

Amazing professor. She really cares about her students and will definitely go out of her way to help you in any way possible. If you have the chance to take her, do it!

Professor Avin is AWESOME. She's super helpful and cares about her students' success. She once sat down with me when I was eating dinner to have a conversation about how school was going. She really wants her students to succeed, and gives ample extra credit opportunities. She made economics a lot less dry for me. Recommended highly!

At the start of the semester i had trouble understanding the teachers accent, but got used to it after a couple weeks. I always felt unprepared going into tests or exams but did well.

VERY EASY PROFESSOR.

If you're someone who doesn't like reading textbooks, Avin is the professor to take! All test/quiz material is on the powerpoints, look them over an hour or so before the exam and you're golden. Other than that, Avin is really passionate about what she does and cares about her students. Lectures can get a bit boring, but it's econ.

The lectures are extremely boring. You learn a lot, but sometimes it's really hard to stay awake. Don't bother reading the textbook, just study the powerpoints and you'll have no trouble getting an A.

Dr. Avin is very passionate about economics which is inspiring. However, her class is extremely boring but she LOVES it when people come to visit her during office hours. No homework but chapter quizzes and tests. The final is not cumulative which is nice.

Avin is so nice! Makes jokes but lectures can get boring. Good professor to take if you have to take ECON 103/104. Quizzes and tests are not bad either.

Has an accent, but not too difficult to understand. Lectures get a bit long, but if you can get past that, very good teacher. Knows the subject very well, and is more than willing to work with students and give extra help where needed. No homework, and gives opportunities for extra credit. Definitely would take a class with her again.

avin is a good professor! this class is easy if you have taken 103. she gives current event quizzes for easy points and provides chapter guidelines for each chapter and take questions off it to put on quizzes. i would definitely recommend her

Not a hard class as long as you do the chapter guidelines and worksheets, she pulls test questions right from them. Incredibly long and boring lectures but the tests and quizzes are pretty easy as long as you look your stuff over

Really knows what she is talking about, sometimes hard to understand but after you get used to her accent it's usually pretty easy. Tests are pretty much what you expect and aren't too hard as long as you study, Basically if you try in this class you will do good.

One of the best professors I have ever had! Yes, her lectures can be boring but she gives you everything you need off of her own powerpoints and uploads a sheet for each chapter that tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests! No surprises! She also wants to get to know you on a more personal level. Like your goals, likes/dislikes, etc.

Be prepared to spend 2-3 hrs/day on reading and homework. Each assignment (1-2/day) requires reading a 10-30 pg scholarly article; however, they are interesting, relevant to the course, and highlight various perspectives. Avin does a great job of challenging students to think outside the box. I learned so much from this course and highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable professor. She is passionate about economics and wants everyone to succeed. We only had one exam, but it was pretty hard as it covered a lot of topics. Otherwise class was enjoyable, she came prepared and connected it to real life situations which helped us further learn the information.

This is required for WGSS major/minor. There are 2 readings/week, that you write summaries on. They are very helpful to understanding content! You also facilitate 1 discussion, and write a midterm paper. For the final project you present on a topic and write a paper on it. Do the readings and go to class, you'll be fine!

This is the required capstone for WGSS majors & minors. You have a 7-week internship with a local non-profit. During this time, you will not meet for class. I think we met for class for a total of 4 weeks. There are weekly journal summaries due to talk about the internship. Overall, a very good class that offers an amazing experience.
