Reviews of professor Puspa Amri

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
class is made up completely of online lecture videos from 2020 full of filler and out-of-date material. online videos rarely contribute to in-class assignments and homework. grade book is heavily weighted on tests, regardless of other assignment grades. inclass time was downright just a review of three homework problems over the span of two hours.

Was not the best explainer in the world with certain concepts and had a real attitude. Would not recommend.

Professor Amir is wonderful, an easy class to take with her. If you don't understand the topic she explains it really well. She makes sure you understand it. Ask questions in class! You know where you stand in class after the first exam, and homework is very little. I would take this class again!

She gives extra credit in the beginning of the semester so take advantage of it cause that will be the only one. Her homeworks are alright, sometimes heavy. I enjoyed this class but one thing I would change is that I wish she would post answer keys to ALL participations and I wish she would sort them out better on canvas. Her exams are pretty hard.

Not sure why I put any effort into this course; her grade weights completely erased any effort I put into the course. I had above an A all semester, went to every single 8 am class, did every in class assignment, quiz, test, & homework, & yet the only thing that mattered was the test grades. Written portion given before multiple choice on tests.

Puspa is one of the best economics teachers at SSU. There's quite a lot of in-class work as well as regular homework, but it's not terrible. Make sure to show up to class every day so you don't fall behind.

Easily one of the best econ professors i've had. She is engaging, concerned about her students, and takes steps to make sure you actually understand the material. Lecture heavy and regular homework, but in the end - you need it. She posts her lectures online incase you miss a class. Will also come up and say hi to you if she sees you in person. 5/5

Dr. Amri is one of the better Economics professors on campus. She explains the difficult concepts of economics in depth in her classes and always finds a way to make them make sense. Her workload is not overbearing with typically one homework assignment every week, one project, and three tests throughout the semester.
