This class is an Easy A. Prof is so nice and friendly. You don't even need to get the textbook because she provides the lecture powerpoints and that basically has everything you will need to know for the midterm and final. Had to participate in 3 online discussion boards and one group presentation. Easy grader.

I wouldn't recommend. She doesn't really answer to your questions, especially, you will never get help through email from her (she says she will help though-i dont know if its just me). Most of the times, you just have to find a way to get the answer she gives you. The actual exams are much harder than the sample exams that she gives you.

Professor Henry is probably one of the best professors in the school. She genuinely tries to help you- through emails and work hours. Students who complain want everything to be spoon fed.

She's a very nice lady, but her way of teaching isn't always understandable. She likes to skip over 2-3 steps when writing solutions.

So here is the thing. Professor Henry is a great teacher of economics. She needs to respect her student's time more, making sure she posts things on time. Do the homework, lecture activities, and problem sets, and you will do fine on the tests. Disclaimer- On the final, she threw in some new topics, & made a mistake on the1st of a 9 Q set problem.

The workload is heavy, which I didn't mind, but she's chronically late grading. Unfair to students. She has to learn to get to the point more efficiently. Class is nearly 4hrs and there are videos, too. She meanders and digresses too much and at 4hrs it's just stultifying and cruel. Impossible to pay attention. I learned most of the math online.

For a 1.5 credit class, feels like we're doing way more than that and her lectures are pretty boring. The big issue as others have stated though, she never grades stuff on time and that gets frustrating. She doesn't even give students the same leeway she gives herself... Avoid at all costs in my opinion.

This course is among the worst I've taken online. HW solutions were posted less than 48 hours before the midterm, and we were unaware of the exam format. The exam's wording was poor, with ambiguous questions the professor wouldn't clarify. Somehow worse than ECO9730. Lectures are prerecorded; Prof is poor at email communication for an ONLINE COURSE

Nice person, but ultimately a disaster professor. Late to class, specious lectures, asinine assignments, assessment is 100% math and has little to do with economic theory. Rigid in grading and thinking; lectures relevant to the 1950s not in an era of automation/ the 21st-century. One of the worst professors I've ever had.

This is the worst professor at Baruch! She does not care for students or return emails. The grading system was very strict and her teaching method is very confusing so you end up teaching yourself. Avoid her class at all costs.

She never responds to emails for an online class. She also never hands back the final or midterms so you don't even know what's wrong. She takes forever to grade so you have no idea how you're doing in the class. Do yourself a favor and take this class with any other professor.

This professor takes time to grade assignments by hand to apply partial credit if possible. However, this leads to assignments being graded one day before the midterm. She also does not respond to emails in a timely fashion (email TA if you need something). She is a nice person but this course lacks communication.

I really agree with what other individuals have to say about Tracy Henry. I will say she is a nice professor, but she lacks communication, and her assignment instructions are not helpful at all, as she doesn't really elaborate on certain assignments on how and where to obtain certain information. In addition, the midterm and final are difficult.

People dislike her class due to math, but it's just middle school level. She's a slow grader as she wants full solutions for partial credit unlike lazy professors using only Pearson questions. She thoroughly teaches basic concepts, providing varied problem sets and guiding application. First class I felt I learned in this master's program.

I love economics but I hated this class. Unfortunately, all the negatives are true. E-mails asking for help or clarification are ignored. Grading is slow. Little synchronicity between readings, lectures, and tests. Any learning will have to be on your own because this class is a mess.

Professor Henry was a GREAT professor. Took her for ECO 9732 MBA course. Always willing to meet with me during office hours and review the class material or the homework. Truly went out of her way to make herself available and help her students. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking Prof Henry!

Prof. Henry teaches the material very well, she walks the class through the examples and answers any questions. However, ECO 4100 is a harddddd class and she uses questions similar to her slides and lecture activities rather than textbook. To do well, go to every class, pay attention, do the hw and any activity she provides. Good luck, you go this!

**ECO 9732** Overall, I enjoyed this class. The material is not easy, and topics are very dense, but Professor Henry does a decent job explaining concepts. She is lenient with late assignments and a very fair test grader. Grade weight is test-heavy, with homework assignments due weekly. You will do well if you put in the time to study the material.

Professor Henry provides a lot of resources to learn from. There are always lectures, notes, slides, handouts, etc. She gives activity sets that you can practice on and do as many times as you want. Very test heavy, and the material is not easy. She is slow to respond or grade and there are a lot of assignments.

Took the online course. Straight forward assignments, material and exams. My only issue is that she never responded to any emails and took forever to grade. if you make sure to do all assignments this can be an easy A. Good class to take if you are looking for a light class with other harder classes to even out the workload.

ECO 9732 - Do not be afraid!! The ratings made me terrified for this course but Dr. Henry is amazing. The material is difficult and very math/algebra heavy but she makes it easier. I almost want to change my concentration to economics. Exam grades come back quickly but homework takes a bit. Keep reminding her!!

Def heard many horror stories about her, but it was not as bad as I thought. She is very compassionate and cares a lot about her students and is beyond generous with her grading curves. She is a storyteller-type professor and often makes a lot of analogies. If you're a conceptual thinker, then you'll have an easier time learning from her.

Took ECO 9732 as a core MBA class. Prof. Henry is very nice and knowledgeable. The class was too hard. The first exam covered demand, and the second and third exams cover supply and how firms are broken down into four market structures: perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition. Be ready to learn and work hard.
