Reviews of professor Kathleen McKiernan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is a nice professor and really want us to learn things. If you study hard and attend each class, it is easy for you to get good grade

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Macro isn't easy, especially not with Prof. McKiernan. Her lectures are more engaging than your average econ professor and the problem sets are pretty straight forward, but the tests cover very little of what is gone over in class. Lots of theoretical math. Tough class

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor McKiernan is a very arbitrary grader. She does not explain things clearly and I did not learn anything from her class. Which is very disappointing because macroeconomics is very important. She certainly has lessened the quality of education that I have received here at Vandy and I would have never taken her class if I could go back.

This is by far the most challenging class I have taken. The class is hard in terms of content, grade structure, and lecture style. I stop attending the lectures because I cannot learn from them. Tests are very heavy on theoretical math. Three exams add up to 80%  of your grade. If you can take ECON 3022 with someone, please do so.
