Erin Wolcott
I enjoyed Macro with Prof. Wolcott, she was very clearly excited about the material, well versed in the workings of the Fed and of her special interest in inequality, and she always came to class ready to teach and answer any questions. I don't think that her test grading made all that much sense, as the exams had 4-5 really easy questions, and then 6 multiple choice questions each worth 5% about things that weren't stressed a whole ton. I thought the tests mad sense, and what she asked us to know was fair, but the weighting didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

This class was not too bad, especially if you took micoeconomics first. Professor Wolcott is not the best professor but she is not terrible. Her tearching style feels like it is catering towards highschoolers and its really slow and boring. Her exams are okay, but her grading is terrible in my opinion.
Overall a great class, lots of reading and problem sets every week but never too much to handle. Exams and problem sets where on the tougher side but if you kept on top of the material it wasn't bad. Professor Wolcott was clearly very enthusiastic about course material and super engaging.
