She falls short by assessing the students with only 30 multiple choice questions on her midterms. At first that sounds great but when you think about it your gut intuition on just 2 problems can almost sway you an entire letter grade. Also the note taking style is cool but hard to read and frustrating.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2489556","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:59:33.699702+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3NzAwMDg2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1430576","instructor_name":"Wendy Eudey","course_label":"ECON102","course_id":"ECON 102","course_uid":"course_9f4e10a4ab7c3040302d172b","review_date":"2017-01-09 13:58:08 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Eudey is incredibly down-to-earth and personable. She genuinely cares about her students- I recommend going to office hours even if just to chat about Hamilton. She worked for the Fed so she knows her stuff. Great story-teller. I highly recommend taking her for Macro.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1430576","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:59:33.699702+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3MjkyODgy","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1430576","instructor_name":"Wendy Eudey","course_label":"ECON102","course_id":"ECON 102","course_uid":"course_9f4e10a4ab7c3040302d172b","review_date":"2016-11-30 21:53:04 +0000 UTC","comment":"Homework is very easy. No quizzes. Discussion is pointless, lecture is kind of mandatory for passing. I've never opened the book. Exams are extremely easy. EVERY SINGLE QUESTION on the exams comes from homework assignments and her old exams. Also her name isn't Wendy, its Gwen.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1430576","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0}]
