Westerfield is terrific! Extremely entertaining, approachable, and clear in what students need to understand. 2 midterms, some problem sets, and a big final make up your grade. Highly recommend taking 3020 with Westerfield.

I really appreciate Westerfield as a kind and caring professor, but the class really fell off at the end. She rushed the entire third of the semester (which is what the final is mostly based off of), and it really hurt my understanding of the material. Overall, it's not a bad class and she's probably the best professor to take it with. She's very understanding about other commitments so her class isn't overly time consuming and she's flexible with on-call dates and testing. Just be extra vigilant at the end of the semester so you don't do poorly on the final (because the final can really tank your grade).

Westerfield is a really good lecturer. She clearly knows what she's talking about and presents the material in a very accessible manner. The textbook she uses is also very good also. Her answers can be pretty jumbled if you ask her questions in the middle of her lecture and sometimes it gives the impression she doesn't really know the answer but she's very approachable and seems happy to help students whenever she can. Overall very enjoyable and accessible course.

If get the chance, take as many courses as you can with Westerfield - she is so great. I took 301 with her and just wrapped up 302 and can truly say I learned a lot versus just fulfilling requirements. I will say 302 was much easier than 301, but I think that's common for most people. I also prefer macro a lot more than micro. She explains the course material really thoroughly and gives good examples. The only downside is the amount of work but it serves as benefits to most people because it keeps them updated on the material and prepares you will for the exam.

2 Midterms (20% each) and a final (35%) each. The final is 70% of the last third of the course 30% of the 1st and 2nd parts of the course. 50 Mult choice and 3 long free response.

She posts a loot of review material before each exam which really helps for studying. Take 301 and 302 with her if you get the chance!!! She's amazing!
