Student Comments

"I really enjoy learning about the environment. I also enjoy learning about ways to improve the environment for future generations. But this class had unreasonably high expectations for a 200 level class. It was very information-packed with little explanations or time to really understand the topic and information."

"My comments for the instructor would be that she has a very strong passion for economics which is pretty cool. This passion for economics though can sometimes be a little off putting becuase students feel they can't ask all the questions they may have which leaves them later to be frustrated. I do think she needs to slow down with some of the material because there are definitely important materials in which I still don't fully understand because they were rushed through at the start of the class because of the class curriculum deadline. Other than that I think the professor did her best with our class and did a pretty good job of teaching."

"Thank you for this semester! Because of this class, I have looked into other economics courses even though I've had nothing to do with economics, besides in high school, before this class. I really appreciated the work you put into teaching this course."

"I always thought the feedback was great. If the instructor had any issues with my work they would pull me aside and let me know their confusion, let me explain if there was confusion on my end, and explain again or in a different way for me to understand any positive or negative feedback."

"The only improvement I have for the instructor is to write her comments on canvas when she grades our presentation. I talked with her after class after my presentation and wrote down some notes but would have like written notes from the professor."

"The instructor was a great instructor and if there was a miscommunication, they were always more than willing to reword their directions in order to make things more understandable and were always willing to repeat themselves if there were absences."

"Worksheets were very good at establishing a working knowledge of economic models and market interactions."

"There is a lot of note taking and sometimes the amount of readings is overwhelming, but it's okay because they are typically just supplemental to the lectures. The writing assignment was definitely the most time intensive assignment because it required a lot of individual researching."

"Announcements were a usefull way to share important information about class matters and encouraged student outreach if they had questions."

"Michelan taught material in a very engaging way which felt as if she was excited for students to learn the material."
