| Additional Comments |
Dr. Strow is a great instructor for 150 and/or 202. I had her for both and she definitely makes sure students know the material instead of simply blitzing through it. This course, though, does require a lot of mathematical calculations (although nothing outside of what you'd find in your 8th or 9th grade algebra class) so if you hate math it may not be the class for you. Then again, it's economics so you need some math to go along with it.
Your grades are all based on tests and quizzes. You have four quizzes in the class that are worth 15% of your grade and your lowest quiz grade gets dropped. You have three examinations over the course of the semester that are worth 20% each and your final is cumulative and is worth 25% of your grade. Although the final is cumulative, though, your cumulative section comes from questions from the exams you've already taken (although they may be modified a bit) and that helps with studying.
While the class doesn't have an attendance policy I'd recommend that you go every day. If you miss you'll easily get behind as Dr. Strow follows her own way and doesn't follow the book too often. She also gives out homework sheets and while you don't have to do them since they are never collected & graded I'd recommend it since it sharpens the math/problem solving skills you'll need for the exams.
Dr. Strow always makes herself available for help and offers study sessions for the test. She also makes notes easy to take by writing definitions and drawing graphs on the board and clearly illustrating what they mean. Therefore, she's a great instructor to have if you have difficulty with econ.
STUDY TIP: When studying for your exams/quizzes do your best to learn everything b/c the questions aren't always clear. For example,. some questions will require you to know various formulas/definitions/processes in order to solve them and get the right answer. Therefore, THINK outside the box!
