Lectures can be really confusing, so make sure your attention span is top-notch. You will be bombarded with tons of formulas and expected to memorize them (no cheat sheet except for finals). Lectures matter; if you miss one, it's a little hard to catch up. Lectures aren't recorded.

Lectures are solid and the material is somewhat difficult but presented well. Attendance is taken in discussion which is always annoying but overall the class is quite easy. Exams where very predictable and are easy to get a high grade on if you study. Overall not my favorite but not bad.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2489556","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:03:13.164110+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwNjcyMjM4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2489556","instructor_name":"Stella Chan","course_label":"ECON461","course_id":"ECON 461","course_uid":"course_2b848d4abf1c08fee50e22c2","review_date":"2025-02-14 06:21:30 +0000 UTC","comment":"VERY COMPLICATED CLASS, very hard, a normal econ class worth of content in just the first month. However, Professor Chan is a really great lecturer so if you go to the lectures you'll do fine. Also you can bring a cheatsheet of equations to each exam (you need to) but extremely knowledgable on the subject and very approachable. 11/10 professor!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2489556","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:03:13.164110+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwNTcyMjI3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2489556","instructor_name":"Stella Chan","course_label":"ECON461","course_id":"ECON 461","course_uid":"course_2b848d4abf1c08fee50e22c2","review_date":"2025-01-19 03:42:56 +0000 UTC","comment":"one of my favorite professors I've had in UW. Not only enthusiastic but also has the professional experience. Visit her office hours, regardless of your grade, and just chat if you ever have questions about career path and such. \nWhen it comes to grades, just attend all the lectures and you can get a solid grade.

The class is extremely difficult, so take it seriously. Attending lectures/discussion sections (the latter of which is mandatory) will serve you well, as well as giving the time needed for problem sets, online responses, exams, etc. And go to office hours when possible.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2489556","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:03:13.164110+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM3MzMyMjYw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2489556","instructor_name":"Stella Chan","course_label":"ECON461","course_id":"ECON 461","course_uid":"course_2b848d4abf1c08fee50e22c2","review_date":"2023-01-13 23:42:51 +0000 UTC","comment":"Prof. lays out clear and reasonable expectations, apportions a reasonable quantity of homework, and writes exams that reflect the concepts learned in lecture.
