Andrea Robbett
ECON
Professor Robbett is very enthusiastic about her course material. Lectures are both in-person and sometimes through pre-recorded videos on canvas, but they’re always extremely clear. The course material is pretty difficult, but I have found the grading to be very reasonable, and Professor Robbett really gives us all the resources we need to succeed in the class.
Andrea Robbett is very knowledgable and knows what she's talking about, but I think enthusiasm towards some concepts could definitely be higher. She is, however, very accommodating toward students' needs -- she canceled the final because of how late it was scheduled, and granted extensions when needed.
I was super excited to take this course but thought it really fell flat. It’s flipped classroom format, so you have to do a ton of work outside of class, and we don’t really do much during lecture. Super boring classroom atmosphere, no sense of community, and Robbett is not great at facilitating discussion. She’s a total expert and is very nice and accommodating, but the way the course is structured just makes it a drag. I’ve heard that Carpenter makes it a lot more exciting.
