HONESTLY THE WORST TEACHER THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! She is boring& disengaging in lecture, it's 80 minutes of her droning on with random distractions. She'll repeat things multiple times but stop talking to point out that someone is eating a pop tart. You're entirely graded on 4 exams & she doesn't cover the material in class- I went to every lecture.

Made a account to leave a review for Linz . I have a ABM minor. If you have the choice, go with Micro. Her class is based off of 4 exams and point based, >85 is 4.0 (never a good sign) The exams are VERY impossible unless you already know macro principles and ALL of the equations. No assigned hw, no lectures posted. Plan on being in help room ALOT!

I have not studied more often for any other class. I have a 3.5 in CSE and 4.0 in CHEM. I also have no idea how any of her material turns into the exams that pop in front me on exam days. I wish she would try to help instead of doing the hurting her students and I complain about.

Terrible teacher of material. The entire class grade was based on your scores for the 4 exams and none of the homework or attendance. It was 80 minutes of notes every day. It's nice that she gave a study guide before each exam but it's almost impossible to pay attention to her monotone voice and black and white slides for a whole class.

Quite possibly the WORST professor I've ever had. She literally is terrible. She just stands up there and goe SO FAST you have no idea what she even is saying. I would never make an account on this website but since she is that awful of a professor I felt like I had to.

I don't know why people are being so hard on Linz. Before each exam she gives you a review sheet that literally has some of the actual test questions on it. If you know those you're guaranteed at least a 2.5 on exams. As for the project her grading was not anything that strayed from the rubric. Follow the reviews and rubrics and you'll do fine.

Comment:

The worst professor at MSU I've had, doesn't help, random, didn't accept my paper that accounted for 13% of the final grade because I didn't hand her HARD copy before the due date (I submitted electronic copy before). Extremely harsh on exams, review questions she provides basically mean you have to know everything about everything. Avoid if possib

she was by far the worst econ prof I had at state. she never taught us anything and then expected a 40pg. paper at the end of class. All she talked about was her experience with russia. Avoid her at all costs. she also did not help when I would go to her office hrs.

Wow. Definitely the worst professor at MSU. She has to be the closest thing to the devil I have ever seen. Such a mean lady, but she thinks she's the cats ass. Her class is impossible you won't learn anything.

i took this class in 1999, i graduated in 2002, this is the only prof i hate enough to post on this site years later. she is mean, rude, and takes a certain pleasure in seeing her students suffer. i hope that she can resolve her issues to make her life and the lives of her students more enjoyable.

I don't know why everyone hates her so much. I didn't mind the class or her at all. I thought her approach was unique considering the currency and stock market projects. Would you rather just learn through lecture and repetition? Linz is not the devil she's portrayed by some lazy people...

Didn't learn a thing... you think she's nice based on her appearance but the first day of class she snapped at the TA in front of all 200 of us without knowing it was the TA - is crazy.

Do not take this class with this woman. It never really seems as if she's actually there...she is random and spacey. she talks about strange things, like SpongeBob SquarePants. also, she doesn't really compromise about anything.
