Reviews of professor Laura Razzolini

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Laura Razzolini's EC111 class is hard. Be prepared for it to be difficult and to study consistently. You need to do the work. 

Be sure to utilize her office hours early and to go over your exams with her (you will typically get a few points back).

This class is hard so be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort into it.

She is extremely passionate about economics, and is also department head. Laura is very clear on what will be on the exams and will even give formulas in the later tests. If you study and actually try on the homeworks then there is no way you do not make at least a B.

She is very passionate about economics and her lectures are entertaining. She is loud and actually a really funny lady. Her tests are hard, but if you meet with her she will give you points back, and she always curves them. Attendance and homework are a big part of your grade. You get one drop test which was super helpful . Super good teacher!!!!

Tests are difficult, but can be prepared for. Attendance is needed for points but you don't have to pay close attention. She uses 25 minutes to call out students but is fair, giving a scale and points back on tests in office hours. Tests can be tricky but aren't dependent on lecture material.

Just don't take her for EC 111. The only teacher that actually tries to make this class as difficult as possible. Homework and attendance is 20% and 80% of your grade is tests. You get 1 drop but she gives you 0 material to study ahead of test and expects you to just know. Also has the worst accent I've ever heard so you cannot understand her.

Laura has a clear passion for economics and was very encouraging of students. The lectures were great. The tests were fair to the material. She was very open to questions and flexible with grading tests when things weren't clear. I'm not sure how she has received so many poor reviews-she has easily become one of my favorite economics professors.
