Cassandra Guarino
Most Helpful Review
Not a great econ teacher. This class is meant to be hard to begin with, but she sure doesn't help. Lectures don't explain anything that the book doesn't, and she flies over the important concepts as quickly as the unimportant ones. Also, another professor taught our class for the first three weeks. I stopped going to lecture because it was so ridiculously boring (and I've had some boring lectures). I'm re-taking the class right now w/ the TA Viola Chen and she's much fairer. For comparison, Guarino's midterm was deriving all these different formulas that everyone memorized. Chen's were problems similar to those out of the book. The worst part about Guarino's class was that she curved the first 2 midterms and then did NOT curve the final. This hurt me. A lot. Tread lightly.
