Kristina Sargent
ECON
It was overall a fun course to take with applicable material for the real world. Exams were graded really harshly because of the chance for corrections. She was incredibly helpful during office hours which always helped before exams.
This course was definitely difficult and the exams were tough but if you truly grasp the material, you should perform well with test corrections. She really cares about the material that she teaches us and has a lot of enthusiasm about the course. She is also always available to help during office hours and is around to schedule an appointment.
I really liked Sargent as a person and I did well with her lecture style but her tests are so, so hard. She doesn't ask questions about the stuff we focused on the most in class, and instead makes questions worth tons of points on stuff we only briefly covered or learned in the first few days of material. She does offer revisions but never gives full credit back which is frustrating because you have to completely redo the exam and her homework is so time consuming for something that is worth 10% of your grade. Also, exams are worth 70% so it is almost guaranteed to break your GPA which is super upsetting.
