You will need the book to teach yourself the material. I figured out how pointless it is to go to this class about midway through the semester. If you do the problem sets and the online quizzes, you are guaranteed an A. You only need a 68 or above on all 3 exams to get an A in the class. Sh wants people to do well, she is just a little boring

Probably the most I've learned from any class at GSU - very relevant to what's going on today. Tough class but very satisfying. Total points are actually 110, so the "in class discussions" (IE - a problem you work on with a partner graded for effort) is a letter grade worth of extra points. In other words, go to class! Hard class, but she's great!

Professor Grace is the worst professor at GSU hands down. RUN don't walk away from this class. I would highly recommend anyone to drop her IMMEDIATELY, even if that means you have to wait until next semester to register for Macroeconomics again. Take Rioja, or Hunt. Her quizzes and exams come out of thin air.

I took her because several students recommended her. This was a hybrid course where you meet one day out of the week with all class assignments and exams online. At the end of the semester she does an amnesty period (makeup bad grade). She's not hard, Go to class and pay attention. And don't forget you're responsible to learn the material yourself

The class was not hard unless you did not go weekly to each class (hybrid class). Sitting in the front helps one pay attention and understand her, even in her accent which is not bad. Many complain about her tests but if you actually study and understand the topics and can remember her examples, you can get an A+.

If you think the fully online class will be an Easy A.. think again. Each chapter exam requires you to have a FULL grasp of that chapter as well as the previous ones and even then you'll need some luck to get a 100. I would suggest supplemental reading. Better yet, I would suggest taking someone else.

The first day of class Grace made sure to warn us that if we weren't ready to work, we should drop the class. Honestly, she's over exaggerating. If you go to class and write down the practice problems and how to solve them, you'll do fine on the test because it's composed of exactly what she taught. Honestly, was a great teacher and I'd take again!

She has a good memory and will recognize who is in class and who is not. DO NOT SHOW UP LATE. good Prof

Quite disappointing. A large majority of the time spent in most classes spent watching Grace O berate students. She actively calls out struggling students, forcing them stand in front of the entire class and attempt to answer her questions. They must remain standing if they aren't correct.

First, don't take the online version because you think it'll be easy. You have multiple chances to make 100's on the homework, the quizzes can be very tricky, and the final was hard but I didn't study. You'll actually have to study and go to SI sessions for this class. It's not hard but you will work for your grade. I got a B in her class.

This is a hard class, but if you study, go to her office hours, and go to the SI sessions, the class becomes a piece of cake.

She is always willing to help and she really wants you to come to her and it is in your best interest to do so.
