Reviews of professor Kristy Parkinson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Shes a super nice person, and definitely understands economics well, but lacks the ability to teach it. Theres a new assignment every class, and while she gives most answers, she doesnt explain what they even mean or how to get the answer, so we learn nothing. She lectures like its review, and gets frustrated when people dont understand.

She expects you to come to class having read the entire chapter before arriving, which is fine. She admits she doesn't have any industry experience. She can talk a little fast at times. Her tests are very difficult and my class average was a 'C'. The best ways to pass her class are: 1. Form a study group 2. Meet with a tutor weekly 3. Pray

Great person, not so great professor. The tests are TOUGH. Our class averaged anywhere from a 55-70 and she assigns a ton of what felt like busywork. Although I was told by students who had her before that she wasn't as assignment heavy in person, and thanks to COVID, I had to take her class remotely. Would not recommend taking her class.

Overall, great person. She is very sweet and tries to understand your questions and answer them, but she is so smart that she gives you a simple to her not so simple to you answer. She runs through material fast. She does lots of problems in class which is helpful, but she doesn't explain them. You need a tutor or you will fail.

She talks VERY fast, so make sure you're listening well. She's a super nice and lovely person, but her teaching style wasn't super good for me. If economics doesn't come naturally to you, I would recommend getting a tutor - that's what I did.

Maybe I have different tastes. She does speak quickly, but I took 150 and 151 from her. She is always open to questions and does her best to be clear. She goes over a whole assignment of problems every week. During this time, you should ask questions if you don't understand something. If you don't understand, it is your fault in this class.
