Professor Altshuler is amazing. I retook Micro after not doing so well my freshman year, and she's definitely the best in the department. She genuinely cares about the course and the students and is more than willing to make adjustments if you need her to. The Sapling software helped a lot and her final was not too hard. Great professor, 10/10!!!!

She is a very nice professor and was always willing to offer extra help. She does a great job teaching as she is extremely knowledgeable in the field. Only complaint is that the weekly quizzes had too few of questions, making there be more of a penalty for only getting a couple wrong. Class consists of only weekly quizzes/hw and a final.

Professor Altshuler is the gem of Rutgers Economics Department. I had Altshuler for Intro to Micro and she adjusted really well to remote learning during COVID. Altshuler records her lectures and recitations for her asynchronous class and even provides office hours at your own convenience. Professor Altshuler is what makes Rutgers great. Easy B+/A.

Professor Altshuler is excellent in explaining economic concepts, and is the most caring professor I have ever had at Rutgers. I can even feel her passion in teaching through the recorded lectures. I won't call Rutgers a FAKE world class university if all Rutgers professors are as professional as Professor Altshuler.

Prof. Altshuler is amazing. She is always open to feedback and is willing to change to ensure student success. She is really helpful and loves her students. The class had quite a bit of reading, but it was very manageable. Be sure to attend her recitations, they are crazy helpful for the quizzes.

The best professor I've had at RU. Class is not too difficult --> if you have to take micro, take it with her!! Instructions are clear, lectures are clear, weekly hw keeps you on top of the work so you don't fall behind. Amazing, amazing professor.

Okay, she is possibly the best professor I have had at RU. Lectures are always a blast if you actually pay attention and participate. The tests were all multiple choice, and she was always uses fun/relatable examples when explaining to make it more approachable.

If you take micro take this professor. She explains everything very well, gives you all the lecture slides, and her exams are multiple-choice only. Unfortunately, this is a class you have to go to every day and pay attention 100% of the time but it will be worth it at the end of the semester with a great grade and understanding of the material.

A nice woman but overrated professor. Flies through the material and doesnt explain it very well or in an interesting matter. Studying for the exams is really hard since theres not much to study from and the exams are really hard and confusing. The exam structure and grading criteria is also peculiar

One of the best professors I've had at Rutgers. Great teacher, even better person. Always ready to help you, explains things clearly, makes taxation interesting. Make a reasonable effort to be there, take notes, and do the work and you'll learn a ton and get an A.

Very overrated professor. Doesn't explain things too well in lecture and office hours so I just went to class to write it down and learn on my own. Grades homework sets that are pretty hard. The real problem is her grading scheme. 12 Multiple choice questions are worth two times the 2 open-ended ones. I got CBs every exam for 2 MC wrong.

Spectacular instructor and overall fantastic person in general. She will bend over backwards to help you. It's evident that she really likes her job and genuinely cares about students. Also, ignore the comments below. Econ of Taxation is a fairly easy class. Just take detailed notes, do your homework, and take her practice exams and you'll be set.

This was by far my favorite upper level Econ class at Rutgers. The material is a little hard, but she makes it clear what you should know and is very helpful. Her lectures go by quick and are engaginginteresting . Tests aren't too difficult if you go to class and study beforehand. Homeworks also help. Take this class, or any of hers, if you can!

Professor Altshuler is the absolute best professor I've ever had the pleasure having at Rutgers University. Economics of Taxation is by far my favorite class in my last three years here at Rutgers. She is so helpful, funny, intelligent, and I am going to be so upset not having her next semester as a professor. The class is hard, but so worth it!

Fantastic professor. Really cares about her students and is incredibly fair. She makes the subject interesting and does everything she can to help you learn the material! But you still have to do your work in reading the textbook and doing the hw. Take her if you can.

Really easy class if you just show up, listen to the lectures and participate in her clicker questions. There isn't a need to buy the textbook because she uses aplia which includes the textbook. Chooses your final grade based on 2 schemes, which ever gives you a better grade. Super fun class and hilarious professor.
