She is ok at lecturing. However, I found the grade breakdown very harsh. It was 30% problem sets and 70% exams. I highly recommend not taking this course. The exams are so heavily weighted that just doing so so on one exam messes up your entire grade. She also doesn't post practice exam/problem set answer keys so studying for the final exam/midterms is not particularly easy. Also, her exams are focused a lot on multiple choice questions and she often tries to play tricks in them. I understand that it is important to test students on their knowledge but the way she does it seems a little mean to me. Don't take this class, that's all I have to say.

Gauvin-Coulombe is a great teacher, and explains the concepts of macro really well. Sometimes class goes a little bit slow and can be boring, but she really takes the time to explain things thoroughly. If you pay attention in class you will do well on the exams. This class is entirely exams and problem sets, and the problem sets are weekly and not difficult. Grading is fair and I think Prof. Coulombe is a great way to start your introduction to economics.

I appreciate Prof. Gauvin-Coulombe's patience when teaching. Overall the materials are not hard to learn, but sometimes the lecture could get a little too long and hard to stay focused. Would recommend taking this class with this Prof.
