Course material was very interesting, but time consuming. It was also very useful; but it only works if you constantly study and read the book. After taking this course I started to love economics, although I hated it before. Marks were not as great, but she did bell curve, so I ended up with A. And I felt that I deserved every % of it!

I didn't like her as a teacher. Uninteresting lectures, makes you fall asleep during the class. Hard marking: average for the class for the second test and assignment was below 50%. She's ok to bell curve marks, but still... I recommend to do assignments in advance and ask her a lot of questions - she helps in that case.

Teresa is no where near the negative reviews on here. She gives in class questions that are worth 10% of your grade, and online questions worth 20% that help boost your mark. Lectures are clear, she covers everything in the text so you don't have to read. She also makes it clear on what topics to study for midterms/exams!

Professor Fung is interesting. tons of material during her lectures midterm questions are concepts from the slides and whats discussed in class. A good midterm grade can be achieved i got a 78% and its all mc. This class had in class assessments wroth 10% so its mandatory to go to class. Term paper is very confusing. Avoid if you can.

This course was the worst choice I've made in course selection to date...Professor Fung is a poor communicator; this course should have some economics prerequisites...do not take out of curiosity or because the name of the course sounds intriguing...without an economics background you will likely fail or barely pass...the class average was 63%.

THIS PROFESSOR IS A WASTE OF TIME. She doesn't teach properly to ensure her students learn the material. She ushes through the information, and when students stop her and ask questions, her responses are rude. She also grades poorly. The class average for the midterm was 68% and she told us to not worry about it for it is only 20% of our grade.

One of the worse professors at TMU. Her grading criteria are trash. She told us in the lecture today that the class average for the midterm was 68% and that we should not worry about it because it was only 20% of our grade, which I found very annoying. After all, 20% is a lot. She has in-class assessments each class which are poorly graded.

I dont know WHY this prof is hated so much. Honestly, i was scared to take this prof for my course because of the rating. But TRUST ME ON THIS, if you go to her lectures, give some time to this course every week, its easy. She curves the exams and gives good grades too.

This is a 2020/2021 review. Wow, she's bad. Look at the other reviews if I'm not enough. And as a cherry on top, she'll happily insult you for asking questions or for making a small mistake on an assignment... during class.

Has a terrible attitude for a teacher. She is passive aggressive, demeaning, and confrontational to her students and makes no effort to hide her lack of respect or professionalism, especially in the classroom. Her emails are hostile with 0 consideration for subtlety or tone, extremely bad practice to be teaching business & Ecn students.

She is literally the WORST. She has no empathy ; if you don't give the answers she's looking for, she will laugh in your face in front of the entire class. You have to do a quiz every class, and the questions are only on the slides, so you have to attend. AND she does not post slides after the class; she waits A WEEK OR 2 AFTER to post them. RUN

She is entertaining to listen to, but, you must attend the lectures because she posts quiz questions that are ONLY shown during the lecture and the quizzes are due by midnight of that same day. She talks very quickly and does not pause enough in order for your brain to catch up to what she is saying. Entertaining, but not good for learning.

Moves way too fast through her lectures, making them hard to understand. Not a lot of assignments in the course, but she is an extremely hard marker. When she asks questions to the class, she will openly flame a student for saying the wrong answer.

Moves very fast during lectures, brief to no elaboration on slide material. Laughing at student comments are inaccurate she just giggles often. Mandatory textbook buy. Mandatory attendance due to in class quiz (questions only shown in class). Get ready to fill your camera roll with pictures of her slides, since she only uploads them 2-3 weeks later

The fastest lectures ever. Little elaboration on course material. Lots of required reading in a mandatory textbook. Scoffs at many student questions. You will need to take hundreds (not an exaggeration) of pictures in order to review slides/answer in-class quizzes. Very knowledgeable in economics, but expectations for student knowledge are high

You'll learn how to teach yourself well, because she won't do it for you. You'll set yourself up for many finance courses in the future, in exchange for your time, money, GPA, and future scholarship opportunities. Never again.

Give your fingers a pre-game talk and get ready to fire them notes up. She shows general interest and care for what she teaches, but her ideas could be summarized better. Grading is very complicated and tough. But, a fun class if you're into the historical aspect of financial events.

Mandatory attendance, in class questions that count for your grade, no rubric for summative papers. Teresa cares about the course and can be nice, but the course itself is BRUTAL. this class should be called "very detailed history of economics" in time periods so long ago, i do not even think Jesus was born yet.

She doesn't have a clear grading system, she grades in a way that makes it super hard for students to even pass, the term paper was ridiculously vague and she gave no instructions for what she wanted. The class itself isn't bad the prof is the problem for this course. Take it with any other prof just not her she makes everything unnecessarily hard.

she's nice but grades really hard for no reason, and she expects very specific answers, and even when you're correct she will disagree with you just to say the same point. she also talks the whole 3 hours with up to 5 min break

If you do not have an Econ or Fin background do not take her course, the course has no pre reqs but should because she expects everyone to already know macro econ and financial instruments, and teaches like it. Lectures are hard to follow, she gives little feedback, and is rude. Saving grace is the final exam is very easy if you went to lectures.
