Reviews of professor Makayla Palmer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Lavender (she goes by Lavender now) is an excellent professor! Her course is definitely not an easy A but she has a way of making you engaged even if you could not care less about economics. She is so good at explaining things and will go over it as many times as needed to understand. Overall a great professor and makes the course interesting!

Prof Lavender is really nice and always willing to help students outside of class. Her lectures are more real life scenarios and not always what is on the exam which is frustrating. However, if you put in the extra effort to learn on your own or go to office hours, you can get a good grade.

Professor Palmer is an extremely nice Professor. However this class was my hardest this semester. Having hope at the you final because she drops the lowest test score and replaces it with your final. Class is mandatory because potential test questions are discussed in class. You need to understand the concepts of you want to pass the class

Dr. Palmer is super nice and tries her best to teach things in ways we'll understand. That being said, though, the amount of depth that she expects us to understand the material is like that of a 300-400 level course. She's here to help, but whenever I ask her a question, she always starts with, "Did you read the book?" Not the best. Not the worst.

She is a caring and nice professor, but her teaching style is horrible and boring. Instead of students knowing their grades in class, she disables that function on Canva and makes us do a grade calculation. She does not go in-depth with her concepts or study guides, which makes it hard to study. Overall, if you can get another professor, please do!

You really need to understand the concepts rather than memorizing definitions. Read the book before lectures, lots of examples to understand the concepts better. During lectures I just listened and took notes only on problems that can be on the test. You can access the PowerPoint notes on canvas. Posted grade breakdown for last semester 45% got A/B

Dr. Lavender is a hard professor, but health economics is a hard subject. If you go to every class you should be fine. She gives great feedback and truly does care about students.

Her last name is Lavender now btw. She was very nice. She's good at explaining concepts and she makes the class structure very clear. The class itself isn't an easy A but she definitely gives you what you need to succeed. Try making friends in that class, you'll probably have questions.

Her name is now Lavender, and I felt like she a pretty standard professor. The lectures were not super amazing or super terrible either. If you read the book and show up to lecture you should be good. Outside of lecture, she was also really helpful. I emailed her and visited her office hours and she really put in the work to help me understand.
