Econ 102 is a hard class if taken online (4 weeks). You have to read, answer questions, do hm and 1 timed quiz for ea. chapter, it's about 3 chapters/week. There are 3 timed exams and 1 comprehensive really hard final The teacher was always willing to answer questions but it's just a lot of material, you really have no life while taking this class.

Perez provides so many resources to her students to make sure they succeed. 3 unit tests, a simple group project, and a final plus all the other assignments. 6-week course so it's fast-paced, be ready to put in the effort because 4 assignments minimum for every chapter and 11-12 chapters total. Fairly easy A if you put in the time, plus lots of EC

Professor Perez made Econ fun! She made concepts relatable. Many in-class activities, some handouts, and a lot of extra credit. There are weekly online homework and quizzes with multiple tries. Three tests are in-class and the final is cumulative. There is basic math and graphing. One very easy group project. Easy A if you don' forget about the HW!

I took Sheri Perez over the 19' Spring Semester & she was wonderful! Whilst I'm a liberal student, I appreciated getting taught libertarian approaches to Economics for once. Class activities were fun, a lot of homework but it was manageable. Only thing I disliked was she was a very tough grader in class-assignments, but I learned A LOT from her! :)

She's a very critical teacher but the kind that motivates you to study. She tells real life examples for the lessons which makes it interesting and easy to understand. Lots of extra credit opportunities and she's open to answering questions or concerns. She uses clear powerpoints. There are fun economic games too that we can learn from.

Professor Perezi makes you purchase a code for around 100$. She also makes the final exam proctored on her syllabus she said she would give out information for finals the month before but she only gave it the day it opened. No study guide, when doing a review she doesnt tell you the wrong to right answers.

She is a very knowledgeable instructor, and her classes are fun. Her extra credits though, are just compensation for too much point reduction of your papers, (Too much point for minor errors) and do not wait for her useful feedback on your project. The reason I got A, is that I did all of my extra credit. Stay away if it is your non-major course.

Prof. Perez was a pleasure to take for ECON 103. As long as you show up to class and do your work, you will do well in her class. The final is weighted pretty heavily so make sure you prepare for that. Other than that, Prof. Perez has a passion for teaching economics and truly cares about her students,10/10 would recommend!!!

I had a rough time in this class, and I wouldn't suggest taking it with three other courses if you can help it. She's not a bad professor, but everything is on McGraw Hill, the work is boring, and the assignments that take the longest have the least amount of points. I'm a slow worker, so don't take this class if you're like me. Not bad, though.

Almost everything is done through McGraw Hill, an external online site, which I'm not a fan of. On the 4 assignments done in Canvas, she does give good feedback, though. Assignments feel tedious and grueling, which can lead you to kinda slacking on them. Not too difficult if you put time into them, but be ready to put a lot of time into them.

This class is easy if you put in the work and if you study correctly. I started the class off with an A but after starting another class and getting more hours at work it dropped to a B by the end of the semester. I believe studying around 10 hours a week will get you an A. The combined extra credit can almost bring you up an entire letter grade.
