She answers all questions in class. Like most classes, attendance is not mandatory, but it helps. Her classes get pretty boring within the first 20 minutes and she uses power points. When she goes through her notes,you have to speed type or write. I use my laptop during class and have a hard time keeping up with her speed and inevitable distraction

She talks kind of soft, and flies through the material. You have to buy access to a website for 80 bucks plus the cost of the textbook which kind of a bummer. Gives practice exams beforehand and a lot of those questions are on the test. It's not particularly hard, but i probably wouldn't take her again.

This class in its self is not easy to understand. She has a thick accent, so to try to understand her with a subject that is already hard, is a double wammy. When you go to her for help, all she recommends is going to SI, I did that and still not easily put if the teacher doesnt make it plain for you. Her exams & quizes are hard.

Dr. Hu is a pretty okay professor. She tends to rush some of the lectures but the class overall is easy to pass. She significantly lowers her grading standards so that an 85 is an A. She also gives out test questions at the end of class. Usually she gives out around 20 questions and there are 50 questions the test. Read the book and you'll pass.

If you want to take a standard economics class which actively challenges your understanding of economics with feedback, then don't take the course from this teacher. The whole course is just a power point and then a test. Maybe the SI sessions would help but if you can't go to SI daily then I recommend dropping the class rather then risking it.

This professor was really helpful and took time during her lectures to walk around the entire lecture hall to help students with the example on the projector. She has a thick accent but it is understandable of you are paying attention. Tests are straight forward and are only 4 answer choices. Read the chapter before coming to class.

She never helped when I was struggling. I'm an A student and I just couldn't get the hang of this course. When I went in for help, she pretty much blew me off and said figure it out yourself.

If you think this class is hard, then I sincerely wonder how you're going to make it in the rest of your college courses. Attendance isn't mandatory and she puts her slides up online at the beginning of the semester. An 85 is an A, so if you study the slides and think for yourself a little, this is an easy B, and an A if you try.

As a person who doesn't excel nor enjoy math in any course, this wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The professor has an accent but after maybe two lectures you'll easily understand her. This course is not at all difficult and everyone should make an A. There are only 3 exams an assignment and the final is NOT cumulative which is really nice.

She is very nice and sweet. Her lectures are entertaining and she walks around the entire auditorium which makes it feel more interactive. Her powerpoints are on BB and you can study them for the exams. After every lecture she goes over questions that will be on the test. Pretty easy class!

Only 4 tests, drops 1 blessing Don't have the book, too expensive? Don't worry the G uploads practice questions/and slides which is 99% from the book, didn't even open the book cause he provided everything. Stuck on questions? haha funny. Literally uploads PRACTICE question videos. STILL STUCK? No, the man has a YouTube Channel that explains :)

Four exams, lowest grade dropped (I was able to opt-out of test 4 since I already had an A lol). Not much interaction with professor since they already posted lectures in advance. Personally, I followed the textbook while the lecture was playing. Mainly just pay attention to lectures and practice questions and you should do fine.

The class was online, but she posted the lecture slides as well as a video lecture for you to watch on designated class days. She also uploaded supplemental stuff to help understand. The grade was based on 4 tests which the lowest grade is dropped. she posts test reviews the week before and the reviews are VERY SIMILAR to the test so it is easy.

Almost 0 interaction between professor and students. She sends an email out the day before a test to remind you about it. Most of her lectures are another professors videos that teaches at another school. STRONGLY recommend going to SI sessions if you don't do well on the tests. Only 4 tests, lowest grade is dropped. She does post PPT slides.

Online class with her is an easy pass. If you are looking to REALLY learn and be TAUGHT, she is not for you. She is nice but I didn't learn anything. You have to teach yourself with videos posted.

Professor Hu is generally quick to respond and clearly answers questions so long as you ask. This course was very simple and in your own hands. This Professor also made it easy to calculate your grade yourself, to help you stay on track!

Great professor. The first few chapters were covered by videos from a different professor who explains the material really well. She posts practice questions for all exams and videos that explain those questions. 4 exams, lowest grade dropped. This class is an easy A if you pay attention and read the book. I'm taking her again next semester.

This class included four exams covering chapters within the course, the lowest test grade is dropped. There is no other homework included. If you go over the PowerPoint given and answer the practice questions then there is no reason to get an A. If you really want to learn and develop your understanding of economics, don't take this course.
