    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Boswell's lectures are easy to follow but get pretty repetitive. Most people stopped going to lecture after week 4. The only hard part about this class is that Boswell's lectures and assigned homework problems do NOT give you hardly any practice for her exams, which are very difficult. I almost failed the first midterm but was able to study better for the second midterm and final to get a good grade. If you take Boswell, she says Mindtap is optional, but if you want to 100% do well on her tests, DO the Mindtap questions!!!!

    Grade: A+

    She's good, although I like Econ 2 better, she is a good lecturer and the content is good. Exams are very easy as well.

    Quarter Taken: Spring 2024 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    Beware of the potential for a downcurve! Also, the only reason I didn't get an A was because of group assignments, so make sure you get a good group.
