The nicest prof I've ever met. It's easy understanding and also a good way to open the track of Real Estate. If you don't know about real estate, and that's all fine. The material are not difficult and the exam are pretty straightforward. It's actually a great class I've recommended my every friend major in business and economic to take. Don't miss

Literally the sweetest professor ever. Group projects throughout the semester, two exams and no other homework. The class is very easy, especially if you're taking it as an econ major and compare to other econ electives. Barely any math and the practice exams are very helpful. Just go to class and pay attention 50% of the time, you'll be good.

Absolutely one of the best instructors! She strives the best to make every economic concept crystal clear and gives tons of real world examples to demonstrate practical applications of the course material.
