| course comments : | this class is worthless to me. I probably cant even use it as an elective. I like economics and wanted to minor in it, but neglected to reaserch. I thought te natureal progression was micoro(201) to macro(202). NOPE! I figured out why the m/f ratio was so good in this class: it is composed entirely of management majors. |

He is somewhat lacking in social skills b/c he's from India so sometimes he comes off harsh. He doesn't mean it though, he just gets straight to the point. I liked him a lot. |

| class comments : | Note: My grade is a result of slacking off, and is not an accurate reflection of the class. 4 tests - thats your whole grade. Textbook is of debatable usefulness, but the course pack contains old exams - that are in some cases almost the exact test he gives you. Class time is spent on lecture. Again, the tests are VERY similar to what is in the course pack. |

GDP everyday, you honestly get to the point where you do not care about the words coming out of her mouth. There was very little HW and work involved (thank God) and her grading was bomb, so everyone made awesome grades. I enjoyed her style of teaching and lack of outside work, but the material is terrible. |

Miss a Q? 2 points off. Awesome stuff...easy to make an A. |

| course comments : | Not exactly rocket science here folks...this class is a pretty standard introduction to concepts and graphs from macroeconomics. If you already took EC 201, it will make the first few weeks of the course a little easier because some of the concepts are related. |
| class : | Fall 2004 section 008 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Not a bad class at all. I would have given it a higher rating, but the class was in Harrelson Hall, which totally blows. She had no teaching aids - such as overhead projectors, or even a functional chalkboard - but she did a great job breaking down the concepts in spite of it all. The course is in Nelson Hall next semester, so this shouldn't be an issue. |
| instructor : | Boldea |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | She has a good sense of humor, and often uses experiences from her own life or those of students which are sometimes pretty funny. She also did an excellent job making herself available outside of class, and assignments were returned promptly. Her course website was also very good because it had practice exams and reviews for exams. She isn't one of those professors who tells you to study one thing, then screws you over on the exam by asking you something completely different. |

| class comments : | Ms. Alexander is a good teacher. I've had many worse. She's not a big fan of homework, so if you need constant prodding to keep up, don't take her. Final grade was something like 3 tests at 23.1% each, and the rest being the final. Drops lowest test. No attendance policy, but she tells you at the start of class that if you miss class a lot, there will be no sympathy for you at the end of the course, if you should end up in a situation where an extra tenth or two makes a big difference. |

| instructor comments : | She's very sweet. Often, I skipped class instead of struggling to stay awake, because I felt she'd be more bothered by someone sleeping than an empty seat. If you don't really care about the class itself, take her, because she's hot. |

| course comments : | It's pretty straight forward stuff, but sure is a big yawn. Most people will fall asleep and probably everyone will find it boring. |

| class comments : | Read the book, she teaches straight out of it and the tests are generally easy if you read the book. She does throw in some tricky questions in there too, just make sure you read those questions carefully. |

| instructor comments : | She has an accent so it was kinda hard to understand her sometimes, but she's pretty cool. She's a little too nice though, so students will try to take advantage of her, which was sort of assholish but whatever. |
