Reviews of professor Lauren Bergquist

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is one of the most amazing professors I have met! The workload is not light but as long as you participate in the class, it is not hard for you to get an A. Also she is always ready to answer questions inside or outside of the class. She will even check papers to answer your questions! Definitely take it.

Lectures are boring, not many people go. She doesnt answer emails, very inconvenient. Doesnt post answers to practice exams, very ineffective learning and useless study tool. Group project is weirdly designed, had to avoid having data, which is difficult. Exams have those "multiple multiple choice" and "short short answer," annoying and difficult.

Hardest class for sure. For the exams, each MC question has more than one right answer. For the FR, no partial credit is awarded (she doesnt want to see your work). Class was way more work than your typical 3 credit class. Exams are super unfair and are designed to trick you. Problem sets are graded harshly. Take at your own risk. 8:30AM, too.

Super informative class, especially for those who are interested in research. Focused on different impact evaluation analysis. Exams: no/ minimal chance for partial credit in the short answer parts. Course workload heaviest at end of semester due to final project (where group mates basically make or break it). Problem sets graded rather strictly.
