Reviews of professor Chiara Margaria

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really like Prof Margaria. The material is challenging, but I went into her office hours regularly. She is super helpful and kind. She was always willing to sit with me either after class or during office hours to go over problem set questions and make sure that I understood them. She'll even work out the problem with you.

I had the opportunity to have Ms. Margaria as my EC 201 teacher. Let me tell you something, one of the worst teachers I had throughout my academic life. So confusing during class, always messed up in a step when working on a solution. The homework had nothing to do with the topic covered during class.

The lectures were long and hard to stay focused on. Somewhat math-heavy. Easy to meet with outside of class and helpful on homework. Midterms and finals are difficult but doing the homework and practice problems help.

Problem sets and tests are challenging. However, she is extremely understanding and will explain the same concept numerous times to you during office hours. Also encourages asking questions during class. She can get a bit confusing from time to time, but if you review her slides and complete the practice papers youll do well.

Material can be difficult but she explains things well. Tests are fair and like the homework. Definitely one of the better ec201 professors.

EC201 relies heavily on calculus and Margaria makes this very accessible. Her lectures are informative and build up topics clearly using graphs. Her slides are very helpful for completing problem sets and studying for tests. She is conscious to how the class is feeling about topics so she'll take extra time to do additional practice as needed.

Professor Margaria is really kind and always willing to help you outside of class. Unfortunately, her teaching was very difficult to understand and many students often left class feeling extremely confused. Even though she clearly knows what she's talking about, she isn't an effective or clear communicator which made the class really hard.
