Comment:
Worst person in the world. She doesn't have a PhD and is cocky for nothing. She said that I was not university material when I saw her since I wanted to switch to economics. In fact she recommended me to transfer to Conestoga College. She refused to sign my transfer papers and thus I stayed in Sciences, and got into Queen's Medical School.

Comment:
She refers herself as a prof but she doesn't even have her PhD. Besides that, she is absolutely the worst person at the University of Waterloo. She's not qualified as a lecturer nor an econ admin. She told me that I was not university material and recommended that I go to Conestoga college. I did not take her advise and now I am in medical school.

The worst prof I had first year. Lectures were difficult to understand. Self taught myself the course through the textbook. Highly recommend avoiding her at all costs

Worst prof I've had thus far. Cannot explain concepts, when she does it's far more confusing. Has difficulty answer questions. Midterms and finals are very difficult.

She teaches knowledge pretty clearly and explain things thoroughly. The only problem is her tests are so difficult...

Comment:
She makes materials really clear and she believes in students that study hard. Sometimes she doesn't have enough patient when people ask her questions, but she always answer them when you ask during class. Her exams and midterms are not hard. She always hint you what will be on the tests in class, so make sure you go. SHE IS SO FUNNY in class, too.

I was very disconcerted when I read Eva's reviews before going to her class. I actually loved her, I thought she had lots of great little examples and she explained things in a practical way. Course was well balanced between midterms and the exam!

Terrible professor. She can't explain anything well and doesn't even attempt to clarify anything. Avoid her at all costs.

She's a great prof, with a wonderful sense of humour. Attend classes, as the things she cover are usually heavily covered in midterms and exams. I recommend her over the other econ profs.

Prof is sometimes hard on students, but really is able to push students to their potential. Course was good, but definitely learned alot more life lessons about uni and tackling exams!

Can't speak English. Tests had many spelling mistakes. Lacked clarity. Good at linking concepts together but take Larry Smith's class.

If you attend all classes this is a bird course. I went into this class knowing absolutely nothing about Econ and I came out with a decent mark. She may have an accent, but it's understandable, and if you do good on her quizzes than you're fine for the midterms and final! Very good prof!

She was a lot of fun and made lectures hilarious, but I learned close to nothing. The textbook had no actual information and was written entirely in examples. Not a great course, but she's a nice person as long as you don't ask questions.

Worst prof ever. You nicely ask for clarifications from her incomprensible banter, and she dismisses you and says you're ignorant. Wow, what a difficult person to deal with!

Comment:
To be honest, class was really easy if you've taken Econ before in high school and/or if you actually study. Lectures are not mandatory if you understand the textbook. If you don't, then this might be a challenging course because she isn't great at delivering the material. Exams were all MC and straight-forward.

Comment:
Great professor in my opinion. She doesn't like when people ask questions though because she wants you to think for yourself. She has a great teaching style to ensure you understand the material. She has an accent (i.e. probrem/elah-tiss-itee) but is still understandable. She definitely knows her stuff - audio lectures are helpful too.
