Nice person, but hard grader. Very hard test even I prepare very vell. She make me have my first C in my life. She is helpful if you ask her, but very hard exam, to detail. AVOID HER. Her study guide is NO USE.ECON1116 2013-06-25 14:03:25 +0000 UTC
even though she is a nice teacher, but hard exam!!!! hard grader,even you understand all the book, even you feel happy after exam, but she always give you low grade!!! DO NOT TAKE HER!!ECO1116 2012-11-19 10:50:49 +0000 UTC
She is a nice person. She prepared well for every class, and had a good understanding of the text book. There were 5 quizzes with 5 multiple choice in each one, each quiz count 1 point for your final grad; Two tests and one final. You just need to read the book and then you can pass the tests.ECON1116 2013-05-01 17:04:40 +0000 UTC
I took her class and got an A, but I'm really good at teaching myself and not really needing much professor instruction. I did not go to office hours, but I suggest you do unless you are able to understand and teach yourself material at a very good pace. I would not take her unless you can do that. Although I taught myself, I went to every class.ECON1116 2013-04-12 15:02:47 +0000 UTC
Another one of those professors who cannot speak english. She plays the "feel bad for me" card when people walk out of her class. The truth is who cares does she even understand how much money were paying to be here. Its insulting to have someone like her who cant speak english. DO NOT TAKE.ECON1116 2012-11-06 21:27:56 +0000 UTC
She's a very nice person, but not a very good professor. Okay english skills, but very hard to understand from. She's a hard grader, but very understanding. Barely uses the textbook, and basically reads off the slides. To anyone's who's taking her class I suggest you avoid her, or else go to her office hours.ECON1116 2011-12-01 16:28:01 +0000 UTC
She kept reading the slides off the board without any kind of explanation. Her exams are too long and extremely hard at the same time. She never helps by giving extra credit activities or bonus questions. Even though i got a "W" for dropping the class, I'll NEVER EVER REGRET my decision!!ECON1116 2011-04-27 19:55:06 +0000 UTC

This class summed up the Economics Department at NU: utterly incomprehensible and useless. Very hard to understand, "Taught" by reading off of the slides, and was an extremely hard grader. Do not take.ECON1116 2011-03-31 13:52:36 +0000 UTC
