Reviews of professor Erin Kaplan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kaplan is pretty solid. She goes through lectures fast because the class is a lot, but is very helpful. If you show up to class, take notes, and ask for help, you're guaranteed to pass. The material is hard, but her tests are easier than you'd expect

She goes off topic all the time and is very monotone which makes the class feel like forever. When she lectures she drags the lecture out way longer than it needs to be. Her guided notes are not the best either. When she tells you what to write down every now and then it's in a weird spot and it's annoying. I would avoid her.

She is honestly one of the best choices if not the best for 351x. The material can be a bit confusing but she goes over lots of practice questions as a group together over class. Three exams (not cumulative) and two lowest problem sets drop! She is amazing and funny. The class is challenging and not easy!! But thats econ. She's great!

I think how hard you find the class varies based on your experience with math and willingness to practice outside of class. But prof Kaplan is so clear about what you need to know. You go into every test with so much practice available, so you know exactly what to expect. So kind and accessible outside of class. 100/10 would recommend.

Shes one of the nicest professors Ive met. As long as you pay attention to class and go to tutoring this class should be easy. She is always really helpful if you go to her after class and office hours.

Best econ professor ever! No textbook but her guided notes are the best! A lot of homework, but only a few questions and actually helps you practice/understand. More exams than usual but only because she splits them into smaller chunks so you don't have to study as much material. Super nice person and always willing to help outside of class.

One of the best professors I've had at USC so far. She offered lots of help during office hours and was not condescending at all. Extremely kind and transparent when it comes to what is going to be on exams. Obviously, you have to work for it, but Kaplan offers all the resources available to help you succeed!

She's one of those teachers you know is very smart, she has a PhD, but is not that good at relaying the material. Extremely scatterbrained and sometimes is difficult to know what thing she is talking about. Tests are on the easy side, which makes up for the teaching and very little homework. She doesn't take role.

Such an amazing teacher! Econ can be tough but she does a really great job of explaining complicated subjects and answering questions. She doesn't take attendance and most of the material is on khan academy. 2 midterms and 1 final and online hw like once a week. also the sweetest and most accommodating
