ECON 455
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Gwyn is a great econ professor. She teaches the lecture clearly and she answers questions very patiently. She is very nice to students. And this course is easy. Just follow up during the lectures and finish some practice problems. There are no hard and frustrated questions during exam or problem sets.

Gwyn is really a nice person and a brilliant professor. She makes the lectures very well organized. Everything are super clear. Do the ps and practice problems, and you will be fine with the exams. There is a final capstone project, which makes you utilize class materials into a real consulting case. Would recommend this course!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Great Professor. Can tell she has a strong grip on the content and cares about conveying the information to students. Sometimes lectures can drag on when she goes over studies but they're worth understanding for the class as a whole. Handled going online very well so you can tell she cares for her students and how much they learn.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Pauley is very encouraging and she helped me gain more confidence in the material. The class is moderately difficult, but the tests are fairly straightforward, and as long as you do the homework and keep doing practice problems you should do fine.
