Speeds through lectures, and her notes and lecture material often do not reflect her exams, which are much more difficult. A decent amount of extra credit opportunities, but nothing more. Attendance is not mandatory, but recommended.

she's really nice but her material makes no sense and her exams don't even seem to match up with the content she teaches half the time. seems like an easy A til you sit down for the exams.

Professor Bottan is AMAZING! Super sweet and intelligent woman. She teaches extremely well. I was rarely confused on the material. Exams were super fair and it was easy to do well on them as long as you kept up with the lectures. She also offered a lot of easy bonus points, more than in any other class I've taken. Love her.

Dr. Bottan is the perfect professor for microeconomics. She will give you clear explanations and her slides have everything you need to know. She doesn't give you extra stuff that you don't need to know. Theres 2 midterms, and a final that are really easy as long as you review the slides and do the practice questions. Easy A :)

Daria is just a nice person. I have no complaints. The class went fine, which is all I ask for, and if I needed flexibility or help, she was great. Easy recommendation if you want/need to take this course.

Comment:

Professor Bottan honestly cares for her students but the lectures are very heavy on info and she goes too quick for my tastes. Very misleading - it's not an easy A course, prepare to work for this class- exam questions are harder than the examples given in class and are weighed heavily. Tip: take clear notes on graphs, formulas and examples.

If you are taking ECON 160, take it with Professor Bottan. Goes out of her way to explain the topic again and again for every student, in such a big class. Very flexible and will help you if you reach out.

Professor Bottan is AMAZING. Focused not only on teaching the material, but also on helping students do well. Very responsive to questions and suggestions and has clearly thought through how she teaches (uses FlipIt Econ and iClicker, no textbook). Small curves on all exams, extra credit offered. Cannot go wrong by taking this class or professor!!

Professor Bottan was very accessible throughout the course of the semester. The tests are quite difficult, but so long as you do the pre-lectures and homeworks, it shouldn't hurt your grade too much.

Professor Bottan was a great lecturer. She is passionate about teaching and really wants her students to understand the material. She goes through PowerPoints (sometimes too fast), and includes questions that are engaging and help you better understand her lecture. She offers a lot of extra credit and the classwork is manageable. Would recommend!

She is a great professor. Makes herself available outside of class and motivates you in areas you're doing well in and supports you in the areas you need help in. Attendance is mandatory but attending class is very beneficial. Highly recommend.

I took the 8:05 Class and at first I was kinda annoyed that the class was so early but Proffesor Botton is a really good professor she does give home but and her tests were a little harder the question that are given in the discussion section but she makes up for it through extra credit and super easy points on HW assignments. "Iclicker attendance"

I just love her! She is very understanding and great at explaining economics. All homeworks are through a flipitecon website which teaches you lectures through 3-4 minute videos. Great class!

She explains very well. You do practice questions during the whole class and they look very similar to the exam. So go to class if you want to feel comfortable with the exam. Clear with her due dates for tests, prelectures & HW. You can't do well in the class with just the pre lectures alone, they are the general, she goes into depth in lecture.

Graded based on a group project, class questions, summaries, and a final exam. Drops the lowest graded assignments and offers extra credit. She is caring and wants her students to do well. Gives reasonable accommodations and constructive feedback on assignments. Final was based on class questions. Easy class to get an A. Glad I took her class!

One of those classes where 3 tests make up the vast majority of your grade. Do the homeworks and prelectures, do the extra credit if you want. Shes a pretty effective teacher overall, but can be a little strict at times.
