She is quite liberal on most issues and in the middle on some. Unique perspective.  Her lectures occasionally turned into a political debate.  Her tests reflect her beliefs.  Even though I did not agree with her it helped a lot coming into tests with that idea.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/76513","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:41:34.192031+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyMzg4MjAx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:76513","instructor_name":"Elizabeth Kelly","course_label":"ECON100","course_id":"ECON 100","course_uid":"course_33c82c9ee4b8d3ee016c3a00","review_date":"2013-11-25 21:15:16 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Kelly is very knowledgeable about economics, but she kept on incorporating Econ 101 into Econ 100.  I think it's nice that she is trying to teach us some other stuff, but I find it completely unnecessary. She also goes off on tangent subjects often. Her practice exams do not ready you for her midterms (she even said so during a lecture).","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/76513","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:38:31.818676+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTEwNTI0MTY4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:152264","instructor_name":"Geoffrey Wallace","course_label":"ECON100","course_id":"ECON 100","course_uid":"course_33c82c9ee4b8d3ee016c3a00","review_date":"2005-09-19 06:45:49 +0000 UTC","comment":"Let's face it, not everyone is all that interested in Econ, but if you got good eye candy... it makes it that much easier to listen!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/152264","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0}]
