Reviews of professor Judith Hellerstein

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were fine; Hellerstein is good at conveying the appropriate concepts. However, the exams were ridiculously difficult. I feel that my final grade in no way reflects my actual understanding of the course material.

Great professor. I really felt like I learned so much just sitting there in her class. She does a great job mixing together the theory and evidence behind labor economics, and after taking the class I feel I'm educated enough to speak about those topics. She's a tough grader and exams aren't easy, but I 100% recommend the class and the professor.

From what I understand, this was Dr. Hellerstein's first semester teaching this class. She clearly knows the material and well, and she conveys the topics well, but the exams are extremely difficult. There was a lot of application of topics that I understood on the surface level. She also only gave 3 exams, but she has a generous curve.
