Zara Contractor

My personal experience with Macro Theory was poor. I don't think it's a bad class and certain lectures were quite interesting, but I really did not love my professor. I think the teaching was redundant and unclear, and exams featured substantial amounts of topics we did not cover. Homework is brief and easy, but Professor Contractor simply needs more experience as a professor. She's kind and accommodating, but struggled to effectively teach the course.

I thought Professor Contractor did a great job with the course. The midterm and final were fair and manageable and we only had one problem set a week. She had a lot of enthusiasm for the course and she always set aside time to help people better understand the material!

I didn't love Contractors teaching methods. At some points I understood the material, but then I felt like she was contradicting herself at times. Her midterm was challenging, but very fair meanwhile the final had nothing to do with class material. I felt like I did not learn much.
