Nice lady. Kind of like your grandma you'd sit down to eat Milk and Cookies with. Easy but not an Easy A. Try and you'll get at least a B.

Craig is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. She is passionate about the subject and uses current events to make the class more interesting. The exams are pretty difficult but the right amount of studying can get a B.

Comment:
It's definitely a good idea to know basic economics before taking this class. However, I didn't always even understand her lectures but I still did well because I spat back out what she was saying, which is how you do well on the exams, which are essay based. Interesting class overall but she can be sporadic in her lectures at times.

If you do not have a good background in economics, try to avoid this class. It is not the easiest class. Though Professor Craig is nice and is helpful, if you don't have interest in econ, then it's probably not the best class to take.

Comment:
She's been at UD since the dawn of time but is still great nonetheless. She's extremely well versed but some are turned off by her her openly conservative political beliefs. As long as you can support what you believe, you're fine. Took her in honors; exams and presentations not difficult.

She's very kind as a person. In 436 she plays favorites though...1/2 grade is based on papers and presentations, and I couldn't escape the feeling that a lot of it was whether she like me that day. It got really frustrating

Easiest class I have ever taken in my entire life (dating back to grade school). Don't waste your money on the book, I didn't crack it once. Go to class, you get extra credit if you don't miss class, or if you present in class. Three papers, three exams, just reguritate what she says in class on your tests and papers and you will get an A.

Make sure you take something to keep you awake through class. Highly polotical, so make sure you're ready to agree with her polotical views for a semester. Good class, learned a lot about developing countries. Write what she says in class on the exams and you will do fine. Graded on three exams and three short papers. Got an A-

Really nice and the class isn't bad, but she makes up a grading scale at the end without telling anyonel. Ridiculous

She made class fun and interesting. Take her if you can! 4 quizes and a take home final. They aren't hard if you study and understand the material. Homework is optional and gives lots of extra credit

Clear but decidedly conservative, as her handouts, interpretations, and emphases relfect. Nevertheless, Prof. Craig is very kind, easy to follow, and she gives fair grades. Recommended, but be skeptical.

Comment:
Professor Craig is a pretty good teacher, but I found the textbook (Mankiw) much more helpful than the classtime. It's not easy stuff, either. Also, she's quite biased toward the Republicans when talking about economic policy and sometimes doesn't portray everything fairly. Somewhat recommended.

Comment:
She is a good teacher but be aware she is very objective, the grades seem to come out of nowhere-meaning the bad ones. like there is absolutely no basis for what you get. Also, she is very subjective, try to stay on her good side. Other than that a good class.
