Past student reviews · Laura Schechter
Laura Schechter taught a well-structured course where exams and problem sets were covered in lectures or specific readings. Students noted clear grading expectations and fair assessments, though some found her lectures confusing or her communication style unconfident. While many appreciated her enthusiasm and knowledge of development economics, others felt grading could be arbitrary and recommended attending office hours for clarification.
