    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    Good teacher, she rambles a little sometimes but she's good. I like that she connected everything to current events and she taught us the updated monetary policy tools that the Fed uses post-Great Recession.

    Pretty straightforward class and professor. Should be manageable as long as you keep up with the slides. I enjoyed taking this class with Professor Boswell.

    Really easy class and minimal work. Professor is clear.

    I think the lecture slides are very helpful but reading the textbook would've helped me a lot more, which I should've done. I think the class was unexpectedly hard, but still definitely doable!
