Reviews of professor Tamara Black

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Black is the most caring and thoughtful professor I've had at USC! Each class felt genuinely meaningful, she's incredibly accessible outside of class, and she's kind and inspiring to top it off. I'm not econ-brained but it didn't matter because you can apply each prompt to any of your interests. Take her class if you get the chance!

Prof. Black was definitely the best professor I've had at USC. Her dedication and care for her students are truly evident. She's very accessible both in and outside of class, encouraging engagement. The skills I learned from her class will aid me tremendously in my post-graduation journey. If you're looking for a WRIT 340 professor, she is the one!

Professor Black is one the nicest, most caring professors I have had at USC! I was a little scared we'd be forced to write ab specific topics in Econ, but she gives you complete flexibility to write about whatever! Her feedback is always great and specific, and she responds well to it too! You can tell she really cares about her students (:

Prof. Black is awesome, she's so helpful with questions and encourages you to do well! However, this class is really difficult. There's lots of work and it's really hard to get an A, even if you show up and put in the work.

Professor Black gives concrete feedback and always willing to help outside of the class. She offer lot of help (caring for students) and wants us to succeed. She always smiles and passionate. She gave students freedom in the essay. We can explore topics that we were interested in. Highly recommend to all! Definitely my favorite professor at USC.

Don't get me wrong, you will need to work hard for an A, but Prof. Black was the best undergrad professor I have ever had. She has such great energy about writing! Super understanding, and yes, she will meet with you as many times as you'd like to go over your essay. She wants her students to succeed, so it's up to you how much you contribute.
