ECON 101
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Kelly loves what she does. One thing I've learned over this semester is that you HAVE to apply yourself to the class if you wanna see the results. For me, the weekly quizzes and homework were difficult and long. Also, I didn't attend 30% of the lectures. At the end of the day, she cares about her students. I would take this class again.

Professor Kelly truly wants what is best for her students. Econ is a difficult class no matter what professor you have. She has an entire website of old tests, quizzes and homework problems that she grants you access to at the beginning of the semester. She also uploads recap videos about each topic covered in class! I hope she enjoys retirement :)

Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. She relates a lot of the content to real life examples which genuinely help you conceptualize the material. Lots of homework and reading, but reading isn't essential if you go to lecture and the homework doesn't count for much, but if you do it you'll do better on exams. Highly recommend for 101.

AMAZING PROF! She is such a fantastic lecturer, and perfectly explains topics. I wish I could take more classes with her, she truly cares about her students. Super friendly and accessible for office hours! Her exams are fair, there are tons of great resources. I wish her all the best, and hope she enjoys retirement!

I love economics, but she made me hate it so much. She expects students to attend all lectures, read upwards of 50 pages per module, watch hours of lecture videos, and do lengthy homeworks on top of that. The thing that bothered me the most about her was it seemed like she wanted to confuse you. If you want to not hate econ do not take 101 with her
