She wasnt HOT ok she was better then most! so Dont freak out! But she moved VERY quick and took little time to explain. Her tests were crazy hard and there is a freaking huge report you have to do! Take sneider...he is better! Do not recommend teacher!
tests are hard as hell they mostly consist of essays...she cant teach, and if you ask her for help she'll give you an attitude....dont even bother with her...young FAMU grad who can't teach! she's ghetto!
She is friendly, however very inexperienced, her test are hard especially the final, she does some wird group stuff, I felt like I was back in High School.... I wouldn't take her again
Miss Williams is a very knowledgable and clear speaking teacher. She does not try to trick you on the tests, everything that she covers in detail in the powerpoint is on the test. If you know it, you will earn a good grade... She is quite helpful as well.
She is not easy, but is a good teacher. Test are hard, but she goes through everything in detail. You MUST STUDY notes to do well in her class.
Took her for Microeconomics and still dont know a damn thing. Managed to pass with a C but it was a tough class. She has potential to be a good professor but she needs to lighten up on the tests, or explain the material better. Don't Recommend
Have her for Micro Economics. Classmates think shes hard and she doesn't explain things well. I think shes great teacher and would recomend. Just study do your work and on her project at the end of the semester know your stuff for lack of a better word.
She goes over all the material but doesnt go back over it. During review willl just tell you we went over it and not tell you what it actually is. Wouldnt recommend her.
Teacher is highly misunderstandable, her southern accent is way too strong for someone who is used to textbook english to comprehend. She also picks favorites, and picks those she doesnt like, therefore she is very biased. Knowledge of subject is slim.
She is very detailed and knowledgeable in the material. She really understands what she is teaching and the tests were fairly easy. Ofcourse no one will give u all a grade without hardwork, Economics is not easy anyways!!GREAT PROF. Awesome!!!!!
Hard teacher! Seems easy at first and then it's all downhill-her tests are ridiculously hard. She'll give you a study guide before every test but then add in small print at the bottom "plus everything in your book!" Holds you till the very end
She is a great teacher. He helps you if you ask her to. She give material ahead so that you can look over it. If you dont that is on you. Had her for both of my ECO classes and it was a great experience. I learned alot. I feel that she is a fair teacher.
She is okay... nothing special when it comes to teaching.
the main problem i had with her is that she goes waay too fast on her power point presentations. she didn't give you enough time to write anything down! if she had, tests would have been easier.
Fun; I liked her & got an A; I did my work but didn't read the book much. She loses most of the students in class by babbling about graphs a lot without relating it to us at all. Even the girl w/a 102 avg said she never listened to her - it's pointless.
she is a good teacher, you just have to keep up with her going fast on her powerpoint presentations. The material covered in class is not hard though, if you ask, she will answer any question. I will take her for next micro class..
She goes pretty fast and her tests are kind of tough, but she will help you if you need any. Anybody else thinks she's fine?
I did not care for her at all, she teaches way way to fast!! She assumes everyone knows what shes talking about, her test aren't very easy, she an overall not very good professor.
I am amazed at these comments - Miss Williams gives you the study guide for the test a week before and if you can answer each question(which you can easily do if you copy down her powerpoints note for note) you will earn an A. She is excellent at explaining points if you ask her. Superb teacher...
Just keep up with her on the powerpoint presentations. The tests are hard but if you do good on the quizzes, you get to drop a test grade. Make your points on the quizzes and presentation. Extra credit can be made on class review before each test. And yes, she is fine!!
She's a good teacher and her lectures are very clear. Tests are tricky and tough but study and you will do fine.
WARNING: What some of these comments will not tell you is that she does a lot of group work and if you are an individual worker your chances of getting a good grade is practically zero! If you miss a class, forget about this class! Extremly fast! She does give out study guides though!
The one thing I can say about this teacher is that she is clear and organized. She stays on track and tells you exactly what to expect from her class. The group project can be a pain if you have lazy people in your group, but she is pretty understanding in that regard.
A quick lecturer. Difficult to copy down the PowerPoint slides that are whizzing by and note her lecture at the same time. She is knowledgable and will further explain things if needed. Not much homework, but studying is necessary for the tests. And be sure you pick a good group for the project.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzz. I saw up to 4 people at a tiem and me sleeping in that class. There were people snooring. If your taking her 7:30 class, brin supercharged double expreso. But he class is easy. You do your work and study, get A. Don't study and turn in late (me) Get B
She does tend to talk a little to fast. However, she is a nice and smart teacher. She's always willing to explain things if you need more help understanding. Do you work, read, and study. If you do those things you'll be just fine.
would actually laugh at you if you didnt understand something, made you wear a suit and do presentation for one of the project, if you didnt wear a suit you wouldnt pass, once drop date passes she drills on you even more. very biased and aggervating avoid at all costs!
The term was too short, and she had missed a few days
I took her for macro and passed with an A. Had a book...didn't use it. As long as you pay attention in class, take notes, and ask questions if you're confused, you'll do at least decent. Study before tests and do your work. You practically get extra credit on EVERY test. Pay attention, takes notes, pass.
Great lecturer. She is very clear and precise. Just listen in class and make sure you take notes. Her tests are based on the notes and not the book! Tests are multiple choice and easy! Easy A for sure =]
She was a really good teacher. She is really helpful if needing any help. I had signed up for a different Economics class prior to her and dropped it because almost failing. When I took her class, I passed with a B and never studied, if I would have stu
Has her good points but totally disconnected from the class. Stands up at the board and makes charts and no one listens. The top student in class said she never even bothered to listen to her but just did her own studying. You will become familiar with "Tarteashia Talk" and "Tarteashia Terms" as some other language. I'd aim for someone else.
She is a very unorganized teacher. She uses alot of powerpoints for her lectures but hard to understand. If you're interested in economics then you'll might have a chance to get an A but if you're not then don't take her.
I didn't have the book and still passed with a B. Just as long as you attend class and take notes you should be fine. The group project is an easy A, and make sure you partner with another student in case you miss anything. She might be a fast talker and a bit distant at times, but shes cool w/ the questions.
Tarteshia is an ok teacher once you understand her methods of thought. Test are okay, just keep everything from marco and micro is cake, and write down every word she says or puts on the board. Yes she likes to make her own words up, Tartesian English.
the class was at first not very difficult. around the 3rd test the questions and topics begin to become very difficult to answer( even with notes and book in front of you!). Mrs. Williams knows her stuff, but is not very helpful when it comes to questions. The final is also very unfair and contains additional information not fully discussed
I had Miss Williams for macro and micro. She is a great teacher. I loved her classes. She inspired me to major in Economics.
Microeconomics starts out rather easy...but the second and third test are hard as crap. Please make sure you have time to study when taking this class...especially during the end of the semester
I took her for both macro and micro. She is an excellent teacher. Sure, it can get a little challenging towards the end, but come on people! We are in college..don't expect every class to be like high school! I thought her tests were very fair and her class is very interesting! She is always available for outside help. Take her if you wanna learn.
dont take her class because you will be expected to know the whole book. very hard test Q. & confusing too. she always says dat anything n da book iz fair 4 test or quiz even if she did nt cover it. do urself a favor stay away from if r not ready to study very hard & memoriz all d 4mulas
not recommended! the project is pretty easy but cant teach she looks at u stupidly n expects u 2 kno everything b 4 u get there
Do not take her as a teacher. She doesn't care about her students or their lives. Shes not helpful and picks on you. Study and you will do well but not because of her.
She is one tough cookie, but out of all my econ classes I learned the most from her. Exams are difficult and half are essays (I made a 56 on my second exam). The group project is a good grade boost. Quizzes are not hard if you read what you are expected to read. I despise lazy students who say someone is hard due to making you read. She's good
Worst teacher. Did not show up for 33% of classes in first 4 weeks. No substitute available. Does not answer e-mails. Lousy teacher.
the worst teacher ever..if you want to be in hell go and take it..doesnt give enough example adn the test are so hard and quiz every day...its a nightmare
i wanted to ask about her. i dont know
Very poor teacher. Her quizzes and tests are badly written (I actually got a question on one of her quizzes wrong because I didn't know who a specific rap artist was) and/or absurdly hard. The project also teaches you very little about economics. She gave us reading from the book but never once tested us on it. Avoid her if possible.
Hard tests. Quizzes almost daily but do not count against you. The group project did not teach anything about economics, but if you turn everything in on time and pretend you know what youre talking about, it's an easy A. She draws a lot of graphs and crap on the board and doesn't specify what she is drawing. Avoid if possible.
Mad hard...need a tutor!
Got an A in her class! You must take notes and study everything she goes over in class. Tests are hard but manageable. The group project is pointless but make sure you are in a reliable group!
Prof. Williams was a very good Lecture. she gave out handouts that will make u understand the materal better than the textbook alone. I would take her class. for test she gives out study guides to help you study for the test as well she is a very thorough teacher and u must b present to class and study in order to pass. its all up to you the studen
She goes over the lecture too fast and expect us to understand every details in once.
She goes over the materials too fast, and expect us to understand every details in once.
First thing you'll notice is this teacher does not speak proper English. She has a very heavy southern accent and a lot of words are not pronounced correctly.Explanations are not elaborate. Her quizzes are full of trick and wordy questions.I do not recommend this class because of her way of teaching, its not impossible she just makes it difficult.
She is an absolutely horrible teacher. She does not explain stuff well and doesn't give anything to help us out. If at all possible avoid this class. You'll thank me for it later.
Lectures went to fast. Very unorganized slides. I copied them down and didnt understand them later. You have to learn the material by yourself. Almost no body gets an A.
prof williams is super hard! she goes way to fast and expects you to understand all concepts immediately. when you ask questions she doesnt understand you you dont understand them and makes a chuckle. test are ridiculously hard and you have NO chance in getting an A in her class! DO NOT take this teacher!!
Very Smart Professor! You can get an A in her class if you actually put your mind to it, listen, and learn. If you come to her office, she will help you! The class is hard, but if you pay attention, come to class, and want a challenge in stead of an easy way out, take Professor Williams!
This is definitely not a class for slackers. If you like a good way to learn economics, get her.
Not an easy class. Have to study alot to get a good grade. Good teacher though.
The class is pretty hard, but if you study and pay attention in class, you should have no problem passing the class. A lot of people are failing, but it's only because they haven't studied, beacuse I have an A. Her lectures are clear and she is always prepared with her powerpoint slides/worksheets/etc. Very good professor (not 4 slackers)
She really knows what she is talking about, but she talks to us like we should already know too. She will move on to other material even though half the class is unclear on the previous material. Her tests are very hard and are a huge part of your overall grade. I have taken her twice and passed with a B both times...but worked hard for the grades.
3 exams 60% of final grade. Attendance 7%, weekly newpaper reports 10%, Life map essay 3% grade 1 group research project 30%. "HONORS CLASS". I learned a lot but I also study alot and I normally dont have to have a B average in the class.
Professor Williams is a very good teacher. She goes over all the material you need to pass her test. She even gives study guides to what will be on the exam about 2 weeks ahead of each test. Her choice of words on the test may seem tricky, but she uses the same verbiage when she teaches it at first in class. Plus, she has a great smile.....
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! Avoid taking her as ur teacher unless you've already taken this class before. she expects you to know everything before she even teaches and her tests are ridiculously hard.
She basically re teaches you the book in class with her powerpoints slides. You should might as well stay at home and teach the book to yourself she expects that by just showing you a graph on the board that you comprehend it already. If you like to study and teach yourself the material this class is for you!!
Yes she expects alot from her students but she gives you all the tools you need. i have taken 2 of her classes and noticed that her classes are much more enjoyable with student participation. if you are not a morning person do not take her 8 am class. if you need something clarified i found her to be very approachable.
I would have to disagree with majority of the bad comments. Took class summer'09 Yes she is hard but hey this is college what do you want everything to come easy. As long as you study and pay attention you will be fine in her class. She is a nice lady and helpful to you. Take class if you want to actually learn.
HORRIBLE!!!!! she doesn't know how to teach, gives no help, and expects you to know everything before class... there's lots of pop quizzes basically every day... read every night is expected, and expect you to check the faculty page every night to get notes...
Williams did not make the subject material interesting or very clear. I took this class hoping to gain more knowledge about economics and a better explanation of whats happening with ours right now, but that didn't happen. I wish I would have taken the class with someone else.
Cool teacher, classes are long and dull tho. fast lectures and long notes. 1 group project during the year. do well on first 3 tests and you can cruise through the rest of the semister
If you are in regular, you will feel like you are taking an honors course.
prof is pretty rigid.do the work or you will get a bad grade. quizzes are everyday and the total grade will replace your lowest 1st or 2nd exam. she has a southern accent so it can be challenging to understand at times. this prof is not for the lazy ones. she doesn't care if you fail or get bad garde. she is very strict.her exams are difficult too.
Review 4 ECO 2023HONORS The class is VERY challenging Expectations r clear & Study Guides reflect exactly what material will be on tests Exams r MURDER-But if you do ALL the work (There's a LOT) you can pull a good grade even if you don't have the highest test scores She's very nice, respectful, approachable, very fair, & has a great smile
wouldnt recommend her. she doesnt speak clearly so its hard to understand her. she doesnt explain things well. when asking a question she often talks down to you and doesnt let you finish the question and gives you an answer on the question she assumed you asked. i dont recommend at all.
Ms. Williams is a great teacher. Learned alot. Strict and firm but fair. Would recommed to anyone!
do not take her
Nice person. voice is kind of hard to understand. Curves test when necessary. Do the study guides. up to 5 extra credit points on each test with jeapordy. You have to study to get good grade. Concepts are easy once you review them. Common sense. Good teacher overall.
HONORS. This class is not an easy A. There is a lot of time-consuming work, and studying is a must for the exams. The project will stress you out to no end, and take up all of your free time. HOWEVER- Prof Williams is fair and an excellent teacher. You will gain a stronger understanding of Macro from this class.
Williams is a good professor but she moves quickly and is kind of hard to understand. She gives lots of quizzes but they replace your lowest test score. Tests are hard, but she goes over them well with jeopardy and give extra credit to winning team. Few homework assignments and group project which isn't that bad.
She's cool but the subject is pretty hard. She doesnt really make it as clear as she should. Shes grades things kinda hard. You have hw every few weeks but its a few hours worth of it.There are pop quzzies every few classes. Exams that are pretty long(multiple choice/short answer) Some math is required in this class.
Provides other ways besides tests to boost grade. Do the study guides, for they will help on the tests and home work also helps. Not the easiest teacher, but for economics was great!
She isnt a welcoming teacher, and i dont think she wants to be. Otherwise she would show it. The tests are hard and its not an easy subject. But it is a TO THE POINT class. Very consistant and clear. Do the current events and h.w and it will boost ur grade, bcz the tests will sure bring them down. I would take her again ONLY bcz its so consistant.
TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!SHE'S THE BEST AND HOT TOO!!!!!!!
I would recommend her to any students prepared to work. I personally enjoyed this class, and I found her to be a good teacher. She gives quizes once a week, but only count as a grade if the average is higher than a test score. Do the homework, it is VERY helpful on the tests. As long as you pay attention in class, and turn in hw, you will do well!
Great teacher
Awesome professor! I took her for both Micro and Macro and I learned so much. Her tests are hard, especially the second test, but but you can do well if you answer questions how she tells you to. HW is fairly easy, but takes time. Weekly quizzes, which if quiz ave. is higher than any test then it replaces it.
2 big tests throughout the semester and one final. Tests are in 2 parts: scantron and essay. Essay's are half a page and need to be verbatim from the book or you lose points. Final is scantron only and 100 questions. 10 quizzes which replace your lowest test grade (test 1 or 2). HW and study guides are provided and very helpful. I would take again.
Awesome Teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof Williams is a really daunting teacher. The actual material wasn't too hard to grasp on my own with the book and notes, but she intimidated everyone in the class and when she disaster questions, she did it with an attitude like we were stupid for asking. Overall not a bad class, but not a good experience.
Dude, maybe if you knew how to spell or write properly, she wouldn't look at you as if you were stupid!
I don't know why her reviews on here are so bad. This isn't a class you can pass with simply just a pulse. She does move quickly but will cover questions if you have them. She makes economics so realistic to everyday life. Her tests and quizzes are not easy. They are worded in such a way if you do not understand the concept-you won't pass. Take her
She's a pretty cool professor. She tries to be interactive and interesting and jokes occasionally. Attendance is 'required' but she's pretty ok as long as you let her know why you're missing class. The assignments aren't hard, she pretty much gives you all the answers in class or in the notes she gives out. Not hard as long as you pay attention.
I had her for 2 classes at once. She tries to be interactive and interesting and jokes occasionally. Attendance is 'required' but she's pretty ok as long as you let her know why you're missing class. The assignments aren't hard, she pretty much gives you all the answers in class or in the notes she gives out. Not hard as long as you pay attention.
Easy class, Debate so easy, hw= 1 per test. Tests are pretty difficult tho.. not everything is off of the hw, which I assumed cus it looks exactly like the study guide. hard to know whats on the test but studying the concepts and random questions that pertain to them will be helpful. 2nd test is no where near as easy as 1st. Id take her again :)
Mrs. William is pretty easy. Her debate project was fun and easy to do. Also if she sees you try your best at homework she will give you full credit for trying. Overall, take her class.
Her class was ok. She uses a power point to teach but as far as tests and HW, using the book is helpful. Her tests really weren't hard if you listen in class. I didn't take notes, just print what she posts. Big project was hard/stressful, final was extremely hard so plan in advance to study for that
ok teacher, clear expectations although not very interesting class. didnt do as bad as i thought Looking at these comments. don't need book really. Study, go to class, you should be fine.
She was cool as long as you did your work.
Learned a lot in this class. There are quizzes almost every class but at the end itll be average into as your lowest test grade to replace it. Also theres a huge debate project that reqires alot of work and research. Test are easy if you STUDY.
She is a bit tough and does expect you to know material but the key to passing just look over her power points on faculty front door do study guide take really good notes and perform well on debate you can pass with no less than B like i did
ATTITUDE! She is a very unpleasant person. She makes students appear dumb for asking questions. She assumes that she is the best. She recites from the book and makes stupid real life references to which she mumbles dumd responses to students questions. I prayed for the semester to end. HORRIBLE "teacher" if I can call her that.
This is one of the best professors in Valencia. You should not fail this class no matter what. She explains very well then she does quizzes that you can use their average to replace the lowest test, also she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. I would say take her.
SUCH AN EASY CLASS!! the only reason i got a high C was because i never studied at all, and failed all test and quizzes and final. but if you study you could get a 100 easily. Definitely take her and learn a lot!
This class is hard,someone people get it others it difficult. She expect you know that material, quizzes every class. She is willing about able to help, TAKE ADVANTAGE
She is very DISTANT!!!!!!!!! She isn't clear and she will not go back if you miss something in class. Worst professor at Valencia. Do not take her. Highly discouraged.
Best online class I have ever taken. If you do the homework and complete the assignments you will get the tests no problem. Only thing that is annoying is the 3-5 assignments due every week and she releases things each week. No way to get ahead, especially over the summer, vacations are a pain with having to do homework.
Alright, she is a little bit nice in personality. But, she expects you to know all of the material with out the lesson. She basically does not teach at all. You are expected to know all of it and she will give you a project in the second hour that you see her. So, GOOD LUCK!
Prof. Harris is very knowledgeable of a complex material. Economics is no joke. It is very subjective and extensive. This is a typical COLLEGE class. Lots of reading, writing, and not so easy group project. However she give credit for just about everything, including attendance and participation. Quizzes average substitute lowest grade (not final)
Do not take this class. The whole class is very unclear. She has no direction and doesn't care to answer the questions you may have. 16+ People made f's on every test. Her homework took up to 4 hours every weekend...
She's never helpful. The treats well the students she likes, but is not nice at all with the ones she doesn't like (most of us). She's rude for no reason. By the second class I stopped asking questions, and every time I reached out to her was a waste of time. Did all the work by myself. Don't take her!
I've taken online classes before, in which the instructor was very helpful. She's not. Get ready to do all the work, all the research and a lot of homework without any support if you want to get a good grade. I'd pick a different instructor, as she's not helpful at all - even when you have a fair question or request, she only does what she wants.
She gives tons of HW and quizzes every week, but there are not hard if you are constant with the work. Only two test, everything is in the book. She is very bad at answer mails and grading she takes forever, and usually reply with attitude. But if you want a good grade take her
She is the absolute worst. Stay away people, you have been warned. She avoids any type of communication with students by responding to emails really late.
nice lady, i took her hybrid course and realized that she teaches really well in class. there is alot! of homework. if you keep on top of everything then you will pass easily with an A. She will work with you but make sure that you are actually trying to understand the concepts. everything is done only including tests and weekly posts.
I LOVE MRS. TARTEASHIA!!!! I TOOK HER IN SPRING OF 2012 (IN CLASS) AND THE TEST AND WORK WAS A LITTLE CHALLENGING BUT OVERALL SHE HELPED ME UNDERSTAND AND COMPREHEND MACRO-ECONOMICS BETTER THEN ANY TEACHER AT VALENCIA. I WOULD DEF. RECOMMEND HER I PASS THE CLASS WITH A (B) AND ITS ONLY BC WE HAD TO DO A GROUP PROJECT AND I HAD SLACKERS ON MY TM!
Professor Harris is very clear and on point with her standards. You will have to work and home work but as long as you complete and turn it, you will pass!
Fine micro class. The homework is simple and on a constant schedule. Only a few tests, all reasonable. The content is fine and the workload is easily manageable. However, if you want a professor that makes class interesting, is personable, and passionate, Harris isnt it. Basically being taught by a robot. Nice, but doesnt make class interesting.
Took this class online. If you take her just make sure you don't miss any assignment date. For her test and quizzes there only available for one day and once that day passes you cant take it again.
Pretty good. Focuses on the technical aspects of economics. You need to focus on understanding the material rather than memorizing. Exams are online which allows you to use your textbook. LearnSmarts are easy but the homework assignments are somewhat challenging. I personally found her to be very helpful.
If you don't really like economics and prefer debate themed classes this is great for you. I actually enjoy economics so taking this class was very disappointing when told we would be having 4 debates, tons of online homework, and tests (relatively easy) that are worth most of your grade. Very nice but is teaching two classes in one. Offers EC.
This class was difficult. It was a self study class if you asked me. She is a good professor, but the assignments were long and tedious. You NEED to go home and study on your own. You also have a debate which was not hard, but if you are a procrastinator, this class isn't for you.
Professor Harris is a very tough grader. Took her class online but really had to work for that B. There is a current event and quiz due every week. There is a lot of online homework and a few discussions. Also there is a TON of reading. Be prepared. She is a tough grader especially when it comes to the current events. Make sure to follow criteria!!
She is not flexible or caring. Does not give feedback and is a tough grader. Class is extremely reading heavy and has several assignments per week.
Currently taking her micro econ class. She doesn't care if you understand the concept. She is usually a chapter behind in class than the quizzes. She requires a full out DEBATE! This is an econ class not a debate class. None of topics have to do anything with Econ. More like political topics. just throws people under the bus and hope they learn.
I took her hybrid course and realized that she teaches really well in class, HOWEVER there is a lot of homework. If you keep up with her due dates then you will pass easily with an A. She will work with you but make sure that you are actually trying to understand the concepts.
Professor Harris makes every week's work clear through Canvas. There is almost work due every single day from Wednesday through Sunday every week, but in my opinion it keeps the knowledge fresh when you have to constantly work on it. That said, it takes a lot of time so you should consider it when choosing her class. Extra credit for each exam.
I took her for macro in person and micro online. She has a bit of an attitude problem and doesn't seem to enjoy teaching. She also takes points off for the littlest things. I really had to earn my grades with her. In hindsight I would pick a different professor to take economics.
While it was a tough class, Prof Harris provided extra credit & was providing constant feedback to ensure everyone had a chance. Specially when most of the students in the class were switched to an online due to Covid-19. She even did Zoom tutorials to help us work through the problems and FAQs. Very caring and empathetic. Book was free!
You need a free schedule to do this. I dropped a varsity sport for it. About 7 assignments a week, over 100 questions each week. Crazy amounts of homework and the Extra Credit is like 30 questions for 5 points. TERRIBLE TEACHER. TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION. No. No. NO!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
Fastest email responder ever. Shes super nice. All her exams are on quizlet! Only 2-3 easy discussions. Main worry is the Learnsmarts each week but they are graded based off completion, not accuracy. SO much extra credit too.
Absolutely do not take her or listen to these reviews. I took her this semester thinking everything would be fine as long as I did whats asked. Nope. She criticizes everything and gives you low scores for your work. Shes slow at responding, and wont bat an eye to help you out. It doesnt seem like she wants her students to pass, nor cares.
DO NOT TAKE HER! She was my only professor that was completely disengaged with the class. With this being an online class, I expected somewhat of a disconnect from my professors as I wouldn't get to see them every day to build relations with them; however, professor Harris was completely unavailable and disconnected. Would not recommend it!
Professor Harris is a good professor overall. The online platform used for the class prepares you for the material and for the test/ quizzes along the way. The only drawback is her lack of presence in class. Even though this is a strictly online class, I was hoping for some form of weekly meetings as a class. Overall still a good professor.
Literally any other teacher is better. There is so much homework and although it's all online it takes like 50 minutes to look up. There's so much homework that it gets to the point that if you want to bring up your grade you can't. Even 100 point assignments will do nothing and then she had the audacity to offer 5 point EC. She's awful.
This woman is so aggy, they switched professors last minute and got stuck with her and it was too late to switch out. Don't be me and choose her j bc its online, any irl professor will be better.
VIDEO proctored. Would have been good to know ahead, the list of materials needed do NOT mention camera.
Course description doesn't mention video proctoring. She did not require camera. Would have been useful to know ahea.
Ugh. I only took this class because it was a requirement. The only teacher I haven't liked. She is rude, unresponsive, and is generally uninvolved. There is so much work with so little instruction. I didn't learn a single thing that I couldn't have learned easier on my own. Take anyone else if you have a choice!
The worst teacher ever, don't take her, lots of homework, takes a long time to answer emails, you have to watch more than 15 videos a week and many answers to the questions are not in the video, the extra credit is not worth it as it is only 5pts.DON'T TAKE HER MY WORST TEACHER IN COLLEGE BY FAR BY FAR.
Takes points off for the SMALLEST mistakes, and not just 1, but 5/10. Get ready to read for at least 5 hours of your week, watch over 10 videos, and have more assignments than you'd get in math class. She averages 7-8 assignments a week, taking from 45 min to 1hr and 50 min.Not to mention the hour long assignments that are unrelated to econ.
THIS TEACHER GIVES SO MUCH WORK!!!! You will be swamped depending on how many other classes you have or how busy your life is. She will not give leeway or try to work with you to give you a fair grade. She's not understanding at all. DONT TAKE HER CLASS PICK ANOTHER TEACHER! It was difficult to get a B and I'm not even done with the class yet
Do not recommend. This professor teaching method is HORRIBLE, she does debates in class which is fine but to give feed back she humiliate the students in front of the whole class. We did not learn anything from this class because she does not know how to teach.
Locks everything the day after it's due, didn't allow me to make anything up due to her mistake, gives 6-8 assignments per week.
A lot of homework. It's very easy to lose marks and very difficult to gain them. It doesn't matter if you pass or not, useless classes. Calls on students to answer questions out loud THE WHOLE CLASS. You can't arrive three minutes late if she's called on you, you'll be marked as late. I had to pay no less than 100 DOLLARS for a single access code.
Professor Harris is a great professor. People have to be transparent and keep in mind that she teaches both in class and online simultaneously. Economics within itself is about reading and research so of course you're going to have to read and do a lot of homework, that is how you grasp concepts. I am also taking her for Micro Economics.
I had taken this professor over the summer online as a pre-req course. Long adaptive assignments from the textbook which have little to no effect on your grade even when you get 100% on them. Quizzes and exams are proctored --- which wouldn't be an issue if the professor actually took time to prepare students for what was on the exam.
I am stuck with this lady bc I needed an online class and she was my only option. By far, the worst professor I encountered in Valencia. The class is unorganized. Too many time consuming adaptive assignments which do nothing to help you learn. Quiz deadline is set 2-3 days before the deadline for practice assignments on the same topic.Complete mess
She is there to collect a check. I took this class online. Her quizzes and exams are video recorded which is super weird. For the assignments, she does not update the due date till that week and she will have you take quizzes on information that is not even due yet so you have not studied it. Do not help put money in this person's pockets.
The class is fairly challenging with a heavy workload, but using resources like unstuck AI alongside the textbook can really help grasp the concepts. Attendance is mandatory, so be prepared to engage during lectures.
Her class was really not that bad. Took it fully online and as long as you do all the assignments you should be fine, but it is very work-heavy.
The way she explained things was unclear and messy. Her feedback for the research paper wasn't useful and lacked details. The workload for assignments took me lots of time, but it was kinda easy to pass. I would not recommend her, but if you take honors economics classes, she is the only Economics honors professor, unfortunately.
I took this honors class entirely online. She wasn't a bad professor but she assigns LOTS of work and the class is very textbook heavy. I would say if you can handle the workload and communicate with her when needed, you'll be fine
Worst class I've ever taken. Everything is on McGraw-Hill, so the homework takes hours to complete.
