Erin Wolcott

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.

Prof. Wolcott's Intro Macro class was surprisingly enjoyable. She is incredibly passionate about the material and we did a number of fun in-class activities that prevented the course from being too dry. She has a very straightforward teaching style, using fun slides and in-class worksheets that you submit for credit towards participation. The problem sets are weekly but easy and are essentially a non-factor in your final grade because each one is worth only around 1% of your final grade. Most of your grade comes from the two midterms and the final project. The midterms are pretty straightforward if you study all the material, though the grading on the multiple choice is slightly disproportionate and can tank your exam grade if you get even 1 or 2 wrong. The final project is submitted in parts and culminates in a group presentation. I think it was worth around 30-40% of your grade and you have to really consistently mess up to not do well on it. Overall would highly recommend taking this class, regardless of whether or not you are studying econ.
