Comment:

Bad course experience, I regret selecting this section for Professor Vaughan. She was not willing to solve your questions about the economy. I should have to choose another professor. My friend chose another section where professor speaks clearly and shows a lot of models and examples to help their own students understand.

To start with, as an English native speaker, I cannot understand what she said in sometimes. In addition, if youre willing to take her course, I advise that you can just download all PowerPoints and read it by yourself. When she teaches the lecture, she just read the powerpoint. If UW gives me a glass and microphone, I could also be a professor.

Professor Vaughan is one of the best econ profs at Waterloo. She explains things very clearly and also provides her own notes. She is also very caring and has a wonderful character (but no phones in her class lol). Easy tests and finals and definitely would take her class again!

If you love playing your phone during lectures, dont choose her. Or else, you will find her interesting and engaging in class. Amazing teacher and the tests are not hard if you studied.

A bit strict in class about cell phones but at least she makes the lectures funny and enjoyable. Has her own in class notes but they're mostly to help you understand concepts.

No phones or talking allowed or she will call you out. She is a very sweet lady--but super tough!!-- and one of the best profs I have ever had. Very smart and articulate, but very kind and sweet as well! You can tell she is very caring. Accessible outside of class. Overall awesome lady and best econ prof I've ever had! Legend of the faculty.

Vaughan really is a gem. The people who dislike her are the ones called out in class for being on their phones. She has 0 tolerance for disrespect in her class so keep quiet and leave your phone in your bag. You won't regret it because her lectures are hilarious. She explains topics well and is extremely receptive to questions for clarification.

Quirky prof. Not the best with the material. I would only recommend taking her class if you have no plans to do any higher level econ courses, otherwise take a different prof who will actually teach you what you'll need for the following courses.

If you actually go to every class and listen to her attentively, she explains material clearly and you won't have to read the textbook at all! Her slides are great and she gives hand-written class notes with sufficient time to write them down. Her slides, in class notes, and study guide were enough for all exams. Exams were fair insofar you study!

She's a great teacher especially compared to the other economics teacher. She uses the textbook slides but she does make her own notes that is actually helpful. Answers any questions. Speaks clearly and talks slowly so everyone understands. She actually waits till everyone is finished typing out her notes. A bit intimidating but she's quite chill.

Comment:

Professor Vaughan is one of the best econ profs in the school. She's very insightful on the topic of macroeconomics and you can tell she truly enjoys her field. She is definitely fair and as long as you go to her classes, you'll do well on her exams. Her notes and slides were all I really needed to get a great mark in the class.
