PRIN MICRO-ECONOMICS
Pros: She is a really good lecturer
Cons: Its just a really hard class but she is probably the best teacher you can get
Hard class, you can get a 100% on all the homeworks just press do similar exercises on myeconlab. She said she was going to curve it but the average grade was a 77% (thats ALOT higher than i thought) I got a c- (never been so happy with such a low grade) If your freshmen connection definelty take this you will get a higher grade

PRIN MICRO-ECONOMICS
Despite the fact that this class is a lecture class with over 150 students, in a large hall, where the professor is using a dinky overhead projector and mic. And when she writes on the board, unless you sit in the front section, forget about what she's writing....
It's extremely distracting, but what else can you say about large lecture classes?

PRIN MICRO-ECONOMICS
Pros: Small discussions where a lot of stuff is explained further, very helpful
Cons: Tough tests
Great Professor, very funny and engaging, not at all what you assume when you here the name Gandhi (everyone's a little bit racist). Regardless, shes totally cool, great at explaining things and talks to students for at least 15 minutes after class to answer questions. She responds to email quickly.

Pros: Great professor, keeps things interesting.
Cons: She moves very fast.
Personally, I thought the course in general was hard. She was very thorough in her explanations, making it all a bit easier to understand. She also always kept things interesting to maintain attention.
