this class is so easy. you just gotta go everyday and take notes, which she puts on the overhead. everything makes sense if you just think about it and dont try to memorize a bunch of b.s.

Although she is a challenging teacher, she has been one of my favorites while at TCC. She is willing to go above and beyond for her students if they just ask.

Great teacher! Very challenging, she doesn't test you on memorization but on applying what you have learned into real situations. Though a bit tempermental she is just a big teddy bear.

I really liked her! She is very challenging, which is good b/c you can learn much more. You don't really have to follow the book,just take good notes and study them,study all the problems that she gives as well, and attend all the time.

very clear, gives very good lectures and note. go to pass everyday and pay attention and get A's on the tests. never had to study more then 20 minutes for test because she prepares you so well.

Miss Sheffield is an excellent professor. She provides you with all the TOOLS NECESSARY in order to succeed - it's up to you to pass or fail. She bridges the gap between economics and realy life application. I enjoyed her sense of humor, her tenacity, and her dedication to her students. She's smart and funny and that helps tremendously.

Her class is challenging. If you like economics & are determined to do well, you will learn a LOT. However, she definitely doesn't realize that eco2023 is an INTRO level course. But what I disliked most was her personality. She talks down to her students. And as she put it, "I'm an economist. I purged myself of morals and values a long time ago."

had her for macro and micro. best teacher i ever had. very good teacher. gives you all the tools you need to pass. go to class everyday and pay attention, take notes you will pass. everything is in her notes. everything

She is a GREAT TEACHER!!! If you go to class she gives you all the info you need to make an A!! Did not need to study more than 20 mins. if you go to Class and take the notes! She does try to be funny and sometimes she is. But over alla great teacher and puts eveything in to way you will understand! I would take her again

Good teacher. Warning: NO NOT GO TO CLASS HUNGRY!! All she talks about is pizza and beer and you will be so darn hungry if you don't eat before class. She does a good job of giving you the tools you will need to pass, but, it is a very hard class. I would not suggest it if you are not a serious business student or majoring in economics.

I liked how her lectures were very thorough and she spread some light on the subject by throwing in a few jokes. I thought she was a good teacher and would take her again for macro economics. If you want an easy class....don't take her...she makes you earn your grade!

She is a great Teacher! If you go to class you should get an easy A! The people that dont show fail!! She knows what she is taking about. And puts it in way you can understand!!

She is a good teacher. She gives you note outlines that you can print up before class (very helpful). Test is straight from the notes. She is funny and makes the class as interesting as economics can possible be..

To pass you must go to class and study very hard. Very good at teaching. When taking test you must know the material inside and out. I wouldnt advise taking her if you dont want to work very very hard.

I felt that she really knew her stuff and could actually relay it to the students. She supplied lots of helpful materials to practice the more challenging course work.

Prof Shefeild knows her stuff. She gives you lecture outlines, than during class there is an over head with the information to fill in the notes, and than on her website she has practice problems. If you read the book, take the notes, and do the practice problems you will be fine, but if you dont want to do those three things dont take her class.

good teacher...gives all the notes u need for the test but if u dont take the notes or dont go to class often ull probably do very poorly

shes a wonderful teacher! not easy at all but go to class, take good notes, read the book, do the homework (she gives tons of it!), feel free to ask questions and you'll do fine. shes got spunk and even makes you laugh quite a bit.

Overall, the class was not as hard as people mention. It does involve critical thinking as well as some common sense. The extra credit is given with her take home quizzes.I managed to get an A out of the class, but I never missed a day and always read the book. If you really want to learn, I suggest you take her

She's an interesting teachers and there is nothing wrong with her. Very interesting class, take the notes she gives and you'll pass the class. Questions on exams are worded horribly thats the only thing.

A lot of students complain that this professor is too difficult or unfair. Almost all of the students who say this are the ones who NEVER come to class. If you are not intelligent or hard-working do not study business or economics because they are very competeive fields! She has been one of my favorite college professors. Great powerpoints/notes.

If you want an easy class, study an easy major so you make can pennies with your college degree! This teacher only prepares you for the realities of life in the business/economics sector. Its not easy. If you want to get treated like a baby go study elementary education!

Very tough class you MUST STUDY,COME TO CLASS TAKE NOTES AND READ THE BOOK. The test are pretty hard, but overall she knows her stuff and she tells you like it is!

It is not as hard as people mention. True no extra credits, but you can earn a LOT of bonus points on her multiple choice exams. 3 exams and a final. No homework, no projects, just that. People say you must show up, take notes and read the book. OK WHAT PART OF BEING IN COLLEGE IN UNCLEAR? by the way... i never touched the book. you really dont nee

I really enjoyed her class. I thought she was very friendly and explained the subject very clearly. She's very experienced in her field and she makes the material accessible to students who've never heard of this stuff before.

Don't be tricked by her posted powerpoints. You may think you can just print them out and bring them to class to fill in the blanks, but you won't learn that way. Take your own notes and you should get it all.

Make sure you do the study guide and look over all definition you should be good! i did not learn this till too late.good luck!

What a great teacher. If you like economics even a little bit she is a great teacher to take. Tests are challenging but if you study the powerpoints and do the reviews then its smooth sailing. She is also a very humorous teacher and a joy to be around. To add she is hot with that great blonde hair. Definitely recommended!

This is a lecture course. The Professor is very articulate and explains all material very clearly, providing excellent real world examples. She is VERY professional. Take good notes/read your book/use the online text resources/study for tests and you will do well. It's just a challenging subject....

I took her for Macro, and I am taking her for Micro. Her class is hard and I studied more then ever, but this is a hard subject so I didnt expect it to be a breeze. I think she is a great teacher and she is willing to help on office hours. Her test are hard, but if you study and read the book there is no question that you cant atleast get a B.

Completely fair in her grading, following her syllabus exactly. She curves test grades so you have a chance at extra points. You don't need the book, but you have to come to class. She gives outlines to fill in the blanks. You pay attention you'll do fine. Read her test questions carefully, she tries to trip you up. Class was my fave that semester.

This class was extremely hard, but economics is very easy if you don't get the gist of it to begin with. She does curve the test, which saved my grade. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but should be. If you don't go and take notes, you will fail. Make sure you do the practice test and study the notes numerous times. I never used the book.

Fairly decent professor. She knows her stuff, however what was expected in her exams were not clear to me prior to those exams. Built in class curve based on performance.

I enjoyed this class! It is easy to listen to her lectures, & puts perspective more on a college student's level by comparing things to beer (If the price of Miller increases by $4, would you be more inclined to purchase Miller or Bud?) She also provides outlines for you to use to take notes & you basically fill in the blanks. MUST STUDY FOR TESTS!

She knows what she is talking about but I wouldn't recommend her. Her tests a hard to me.

I definitely recommend this instructor. Her lectures are interesting, thought provoking, and applicable to life. She modulates her voice well. You do need the textbook & you will have to study, but at least you will know you earned college level credit for the class. She follows syllabus exactly, is never late, & communicates well. Friendly, funny

What a great class. Would highly recommend her. She is not up there preaching her conservative values either, she rails against the government and Pelosi every now and then. But who wouldn't. Study hard for the Exam, it's kind of a doozy. She's a fit chick too.

Ms Sheffield is an excellent teacher. She is well organized and communicates her subject with enthusiasm and clarity. If you attend class, pay attention, and do your due diligence in studying- you will get a good grade. I have only one criticism: Too much talk about drinking and immoral behavior and using crude words like suck.

She is a good teacher. You have to study hard to do well on her tests, but the concepts aren't that difficult. Attendance is 10% of your grade, if you don't go to class, don't take her class. Be prepared to hear her talk about stuff she thinks is "cool" (beer, pot, pizza, etc).

Explains things using everday examples so you understand. I wouldn't reccomend buying the book; just look over it at the library. Do the practice problems online cause they'll be on the test. Easy to take notes cause she makes the note outline for you to print for every chapter. Only bad things are her voice is annoying & she talks the whole class.

I liked the class and took a lot away from it. You have to be willing to do the work and read the chapters to pass the tests.

um... u think u knw wats goin on during class then wen u get home to complete the take home quiz....ur insanely confused! wat she talks about in class is irrelevant to the quizzes. hardest class ive ever taken. but she is pretty funny.

I took her Macroeconomics class this summer (2010). You really need to study hard in class and out of class to follow this course, but it is rewarding. I can understand better when I watch economic news on TV after taking her class. She knows how to teach, and her curriculum is very organized. I studies hard and got A.

I'm not sure why everyone is ragging on her. Her tests come directly from the notes she gives in class and the outside material you can print from her website (doesn't use Blackboard). As long as you stay with the class and actually attend it, you'll pass with probably an A. (I got a 103 on the first exam-she gives bonus points.)

She's not as bad as everyone makes her seem. She's got an annoying voice but she knows what she's talking about. She makes the outlines for you, all you have to do is fill in the blanks. Her tests are really hard and she's really strict but she just wants people to LEARN and not cruise through every class.

She is a great teacher. She makes outlines for you, practice problems, AND she gives you learning objectives and pages numbers of where to find those objectives. She isn't easy but college isn't supposed to be easy. She makes you work hard, but God forbidden you have to earn your grade. She's awesome and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend her.

She is very loud and makes way too many South Park references. All her talk about pizza and beer will make you wish you were somewhere else, eating pizza and drinking beer. Aside from that she's a good teacher but you will have to do a lot of reading and studying to get an A (I got a B). I took her for ECO2023 also; her teaching style is consistent

LOVE HER! She is an awesome teacher. She is strict and seems a little scary at first but you will get used to her. She is a fabulous teacher & makes things SO easy to understand. I had another professor for Mirco and got a C. I took her for Macro & got an A. Challanging class, you have to put it the effort! But I would absolutely recommend her!!

I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!! SHE TEACHES OUT OF THE BOX! You'll never get bored in this class! She has binder check every quiz which is long and time consuming but it helps a lot to study! TAKE HER!

TERRIBLE TEACHER!!! I got an average grade of 78% and she told me it was a good grade. I am usually a high B or A student. She likes to play mind games.

don't ge tme wrong, she is really a very good teacher but damn, she is tough. very hard tests, about 5 grades altogether, and has no sympathy to excuses. i would recommend this class is economics is a strong suit for you, but if you are like me, and are only taking the class because you have to and don't have a clue about econ, i wouldnt take her!

Really is a strict teacher, not evil or crazy or anything, just has 5 tests, and homework with each. You listen, show up, take notes, and do the homework and the class should be no problem, she also has 4 after hours review sessions as well. Its her class, do what she says basically

Ms. Sheffield is awesome!!! Make no mistake! She is STRICT--no nonsense, pull no punches strict, but she is GREAT!!! Do what she says, how she says and when she says. You should be fine. She Does NOT curve under any circumstance so give everything your all.

Ok this was a rather very challenging class i must say but she is very particular but i enjoyed her class. She personally brought life to the class with her lame jokes. I would retake her class if i could. She dont allow calculators on test also she domt care if you come to class but its in your best too Just study your lectures notes and exceris

Ms. Sheffield is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of information about economics. I enjoyed her class and found her to be very nice and personable. She is very strict but not unreasonably. She was always available to help and she had special study sessions before exams. I studied hard and made an A. I would attend any class she teaches.

This class is not hard, if you are willing to put in the time to study. You must show up to class every day, sit down, shut up and take notes. She puts up review work sheets that are nearly identical to her tests, although i think most of the class doesnt take advantage of them, which is why she has a low test average. she is a very good teacher.

Well.... She's not an easy teacher. This class will require extra work outside the classroom but that's college. In her defense, she is very clear about what it is she expects from her students. No homework assignments. Few extra credit opportunities. You must go to class and stay off your phone. DONT BE LATE AND DONT LEAVE EARLY. STUDY!!!!!!!

She lectures, no interactivity, but her expectations are up-front and accurate. Talks about food WAY too much and I always left hungry. Strict, fair, a little full of herself, but not a bad teacher.

I thoroughly enjoyed ECO2013. Professor Sheffield does require you to read the book, come to class, and work hard. However, it is not unreasonable and you will learn a lot. If you show that you are a good student, she is willing to help you with any questions or concerns.

This class is not as horrible as the others raters a making it seem. Study the study guides she puts online, read the book, and look over the Powerpoint notes and you will do fine. This class requires a lot of outside effort.

Great teacher. She expects students to act professional. An alarming amount of students act like baby's. Attend class, take notes, and study. If you can't pass her class rethink college. She is honest,upfront, and fair. Great teacher.

Go to class and you will pass no problems.

-Evident that she didn't like me. I spent the course attempting to change her opinion and preform at my best . -Relationship was not ideal, but I respect the fact that it encouraged me to thoroughly learn this important material. I wish her policies suited my learning style, but I DID learn the material and that's important. -A student; not today:(

Very hard, lots of stuff to print, shows no mercy on grade, you may not like her BUT if you go to her during office hours, I PROMISE you'll do so much better in the class, wish I knew that sooner or my grade would have been different.

Professor Sheffield is a legitimate college professor! She does not take crap from students. She gives visual lectures, and is very precise. Her word usage on her exams is designed to make you double think, so that you really understand the material. She may intimidate you at first, but you can be sure to receive quality education in her classes.

I enjoyed this class and the Professor, but this is by far the hardest class I have taken at TCC. Her lectures are very entertaining, and this teacher is very approachable if you need help on a concept. But be warned, her test are difficult and she is quick to upset if you don't fallow the class rules on her syllabus. DO THE EC. IF YOU WANT AN A!!!

She is not going to give you any breaks, so if you're looking for an easy A look somewhere else. However, she is passionate about her subject and is an excellent instructor. This class gives zero hw and you will have 4 tests.

I took micro with Dr V last semester and that was the first class i have ever failed... I retook this course with Sheffield knowing it would be difficult but if you show up to every class, take notes (which she clearly provides on the board), and study for her exams then you should get and A or B. People who rate her bad just dont show up to class.

Maybe she's better online, because I really had no problem with her as a teacher. Each unit has chapter quizzes which have precise study guides. Do these and you're good. But when you do a quiz you can't go back to previous questions, & each unit exam is 5 chapters/pencil-paper/avg 120 questions. No cumulative final. NOT an easy A.

Great teacher. Extremely fair about class and is very direct. She's open about what she expects and is in constant communication with her students. A great woman who cares about her students learning. I didn't study once and passed with ease. She does give a skill assessment on the first day but it's just to see what you need to work on.

great teacher!

I took Sheffield during the corona virus pandemic via zoom. I think most of the negative reviews for her are unwarranted shes by far the most friendly economics professor I've met while at TCC. The class is just difficult but if you put aside the time to study you'll be fine. Sheffield is not perfect but shes not a bad professor either.

She really wasnt bad at all. the work was the same each week so it was easy to keep track of. Not a lot of hwk at all!! only 1learning assigment&1 quiz a week. you have to study for quizzes bc the content is hard. She doesnt give hard work at all. not a stressful class. i recommend for a basic college class. 8/10. lectures are just kinda boring

She has one of the most organized online classes I've taken, her expectations for coursework are clear. We had about a week to complete one chapters question, a chapter quiz and an extra credit crossword puzzle each week. Definitely a bit more thorough than the other intro economics professor I took but I enjoyed that because economics is my major

Although I do understand the bad reviews I must say that despite the hard quizzes and reading to be done. I did retain information and I did learn from this course. If that interests you and you like to study, take her. However, it was way more demanding than any class I have ever taken, and it is an introductory one, so that says a lot.

She is one of the best at getting students to retain and understand the content. Giving full lectures with easy to understand presentations and notes. She does talk slow and often beats topics to death. I don't like this at times because when I understand a topic well, and she keeps talking slow and explaining the topic more, I find myself bored.

good prof, talks slow & elaborates a lil too much. gives good notes sheets to follow lectures & attendance is based off in class assignments (only like 10 the whole semester). hw sucks cus its mcgraw hill but for completion credit. tests kinda long. final wasnt bad considering i barely studied. pretty easy class, just turn in hw & you should pass
