Erin Wolcott

Professor Wolcott was great. The class ended up making the second round which made her shorten our final project. The class is very fast paced in the front end, but very relaxed after the Fed challenge 1st round ( or more if the team advances) is completed. It is fairly writing intensive but an easy CW.

This is a really fun, engaging, and interactive senior seminar! The class is small and focuses on discussing current economic conditions and preparing for the Federal Reserve Challenge, which you compete in together as a class. Professor Wolcott is amazing and makes the material really interesting, encouraging thoughtful discussions and making the class a great learning experience. Although the workload can be pretty heavy at times, especially when preparing for the competition, it is definitely worth it because you learn so much and get to apply economics to real-world issues. Overall, I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it!

This course is very fast-paced for the first half of the semester. You jump right in the deep end of working on the FED challenge and I would recommend coming into the class with some knowledge of the FED, as there is only one lecture period to catch you up and learn about what the FED does. There is summer reading to prepare you. All in all, the Fed challenge is very fun, and rewarding -- it is cool to be able to compete against other schools. That said, it is a large commitment in the front half of the semester, then chill through the second half. You definitely improve on you public speaking skills and research synthesization skills in this class.
