Comment:
Dr. Carroll, for teaching our class in a new format for the 1st time, was/is a wonderful professor. She made sure we understood the material we went over and reinforced it with case studies and other informative articles. Highly recommend taking a course from her when she teaches, which isn't often given her responsibilities as an associate dean.

Dr. Carroll is a great professor. She's very helpful and will even meet with you outside of normal office hours to help with any questions. Personally, I couldn't grasp the subject, so I dropped the course, but I would definitely recommend this professor.

She is a great professor. She really explains things well and actually teaches, and doesn't just read from slides. Because of this, you really don't need the book. The tests are not that hard either. As long as you go to class, and do the hw and practice exams, you should at least get a B.

Comment:
Her teaching style is very ambitious. I'm taking a summer course with her and we're going to finish the hole book in 6 weeks. At times she can be kind of condescending and somewhat rude to when students ask her questions. Despite that, she knows her stuff and she would be good to take during the semester when there's more time.

hardest class ive ever taken and its a 100 first level course. i showed up everytime and paid attention yet the tests look like chinese or something. apparently the other professor is easy so dont take this one. she is a really nice lady and means well but i guess she doesnt understnad that she is lecturing to a group with no economics background

She isnt the best classroom teacher, but if you go to her office hours, shes almost a totally different professor. Also, if you do the sample exams and go over it with her, it will make ALL the difference in the world

This course is extremely hard. The things she teaches are so confusing, and the exams are impossible. She tries hard to teach you the material by holding review sessions, but it's almost impossible to get an A.

She is the worst prof ever. Test is mad hard. Average is 57 to 58. 3/4 of the class dropped after two weeks. One time, she fainted during her lecture... The only reason i was there is to c her do it again.

Class is very hard. When ask her a question, she will always tell you to review your notes. Just avoid her at all cost!

The material in the class was very hard but she explains stuff well. Her class isn't hard and she won't cut you slack with grading, but she is very fair and if you need help she'll be more than glad to help you out. If you're willing to do the work her classes are well worth it.

She's wicked smart. Though she can be curt, she's really a big pushover. She teaches a boatload and makes you feel accomplished for absorbing so much. She may be a little tough but her courses are worth it. Avoid this class if you're uninterested, lazy, or dumb.

She is the worst professor i have EVER met. She makes me lose faith in the educational system. She does NOT care whether you do well. She should not have become a teacher. DO NOT take a class with her. If you missed a test because you got into a car accident and ended up in the hospital, she would still not give you a make up. Stay away from her!!!

Comment:
Horrible, degrading, and judgmental. She WILL make you feel stupid and she swears she knows everything even outside of econ! I actually managed to pull off a B in her class, but she made econ a lot more difficult to learn than it really should be! The material isn't hard, but her teaching style is horrible and her attitude was condescending

Despite teaching a class that stresses efficiency, her teaching method is extremely inefficient, although she is clearly very knowledgeable.

She is one of the best professors I've ever had. I highly recommend her. You can't coast is her class though; the workload is intense. The book is a handout that she wrote, but it is far more valuable than most textbooks. After her class, you'll coast through ECON311 because you've pretty much covered all of it already.

Extremely degrading with her personality, She made me feel like i was in 2nd grade again. If you have a question about how she worded something on an exam, she will make it seem like you are stupid for not understanding it. When she makes a mistake she becomes frantic, and almost scared that people will think less of her for the mistake.

very very hard class...if you don't spend alot of time on this class per week, your doomed. The teacher is very nice but she has made the work very hard, I think she is the hardest econ teacher from what I have heard. Definitely Would not recommend to have her, but she is a very nice lady.
