The professor has potential to be effective at teaching this level of economics, but she hasn’t quite achieved that yet. Coming from teaching intermediate microeconomics, it seems she applied a similar pacing to this course, which may not be appropriate for its level. There’s often a disconnect between the material covered in lectures and what’s assigned as homework or included in lecture quizzes. Currently, the class is structured with one homework and two lecture quizzes per week. While these assignments aren’t particularly difficult, it’s important to pay attention to small details, as points are frequently deducted for minor errors. However, I found the textbook readings and lectures to be unhelpful overall. The most valuable learning resources were the discussion sections and the TAs, who essentially taught the core material more effectively than the professor. I can tell the professor is knowledgeable, but her presentation and delivery need improvement. Additionally, she lacks understanding and flexibility, which makes succeeding in the course unnecessarily challenging. With some adjustments to her teaching approach and a stronger focus on student support, she could become a much better instructor.

Actually, good professor, though I've heard her office hours aren't consistently helpful. I definitely don't regret choosing to take her class.
