Erin Wolcott

The classes were pretty straightforward. She lectured on the material from the book which was somewhat tedious but fairly easy. The exams were a little bit tough as they only contained around 10 questions making it tough if you get one wrong. If you are interested in working in the Federal reserve you should definitely take Professor Wolcott as this is something she is quite passionate about.

Wolcott is pretty nice, huge Fed fan. She puts a lot of value on making everyone feel included and is good at explaining things. However, she has extremely limited office hours and does them at the worst times.

This class was a good introduction to macroeconomics, and I felt that all of the basic concepts were covered well. I do think that the textbook readings were a little excessive at times because most of the reading was not even discussed in class and we didn’t need to know the material on the exam. However, I think the professor was very good at explaining concepts and was very clear in what we needed to understand for exams. The problem sets can be long and the reading quizzes are tedious, but otherwise there is not a lot of other work for the class besides long-term work on the final project for the class. I am not intending on majoring in economics but I think this class was overall interesting and helped me understand overarching macroeconomic concepts, so I believe this class is worth taking.
