Great professor, but I think Econ 104 as a class just sucked in general. Boswell is pretty nice and extends project due dates if most of the class needed extra time for the group projects. Fall 2022 was also the TA strike quarter, so we had a no harm final which probably saved me half a letter grade. Just make sure for your groups, you choose responsible group partners and that you study well for the midterm. the midterm itself isn't super difficult, but in my opinion the environment was poorly planned out (we took it in a very crowded lecture hall and there was no room to move around and there was a lot of noise). She also records and livestreams lectures.

Econ 11 practice tests for midterm 1, midterm 2, and final with solutions available (10 practice tests for each test) + problem sets with solutions. $45 negotiable, just try me. Econ 101 practice tests also avail. Email me at annoyingemailthrowaway@gmail.com.

Professor Boswell is a godsend and made this class so incredibly painless. There are professors that care about their craft, that care about their students’ wellbeing, and that care about their students’ learning, and then there are professors who care about all three. Professor Boswell is the latter. This class has virtually no homework or busywork—everything seems intentional and purposeful in furthering our understanding of the subject and success in the class. She is concise and clear in lectures, using an abundance of real-world examples and ties in current events to every lecture to keep the subject matter relevant and show us why each concept is important. Outside of her lectures though, Cengage is a godsend for extra practice problems, and similar problems from the cengage practice sets are often on the midterms. Professor Boswell is intelligent, adept, and funny while still being firm, fair, and accommodating where need be. If you dislike this class for any reason, it’s going to be because really how interesting can macroeconomics be, but I promise you it won’t be because of Boswell <3.

the class is downcurved!!!!
the class consists of: 3 group assignments, 2 midterms, & a final (you're allowed a cheatsheet)
- the 2 midterms are online & you're allowed your notes but I still felt that they were a bit difficult
- i def recommend getting MindTap & splitting the price with someone
- i can also tell she cares about her students & if you ask her questions about the hw she'll help you out
however.. my biggest problem with the class is that it operates on a downcurve so make sure to get good grades on the midterms & homework assignments or else you're grade is going to suffer

Overall, the workload for this class was extremely manageable -- there were 3 group worksheets throughout the quarter that were relatively easy, especially when split between the group. Additionally, the 2 midterms and final were very fair. Our midterms were on canvas and the final was in person. My one quarrel with this class was the extreme down curve that we were not made aware of. My final grade was an 86%, but got down-curved to a C+, which was really upsetting. I'm pretty sure the curve was only really bad for this particular quarter BUT, just in case, make sure you're acing everything if you want to get a B or above in the class.

First off don't let the individual below who is high on his/her ego full you. Congrats you wanted everyone to know you beat the curve! Bravo! However they left out one key note; the class is down curved.

The class is overall easy, it consists of two midterms, 3 group assignments, and 1 final. The midterms are short and easy overall. The final allows 1 cheat sheet but the finals are recycled from previous quarters so your best off studying those. Group assignments are easy but be careful not to get screwed as you work as a group for the assignment but your final grade in the class your competing among each other. The final is easy just study and do mind tap. However the one problem in this class is informing the class that grades won't be down curved only to drastically curve the class the the day before grades are due. Overall the content and material itself is not hard rather interesting but your better off finding a class who won't down curve. Econ 1 with Ohanian is a much better option if you want an engaging professor who wants the best for his students and doesn't overload material.

Boswell made Econ 2 as optimal as it could be. Some kids (as Biz Econ majors like to do) enjoyed complaining that she would go too fast or present too much material. She had to get through the chapters in ten week, which is not her fault. Also, her exams were not hard whatsoever, and the final was simple with a cheat sheet option. The homeworks were straightforward and easy to ace (also, besides the 3 assignments, there was no homework). In my opinion, the primary reason people struggled was because they didn't pay attention. I would recommend taking. Much better than Ohanian.

Took Boswell for 103/104 in back to back quarters. 45% projects, 20% midterm, and 35/55% final depending on if you improved over midterm. Definitely a very fair class with great grading for projects, other than the final project in which was graded tougher despite being "completion" based. The averages on the midterm and final were around a 78 and 74, with the final, curved mean of the class being an 83%, which correlates directly with the department-mandate curve. Knowing how to code in R already from 103 will save you many hours on projects, but unlike Rojas's reviews, it is not necessarily required. It is far more important to know how to interpret R code, which makes up a good 70% of tests. I found the content and class to be reasonable, and would definitely take Boswell again for 103/104 if given the opportunity.

Really challenging course, but Boswell knows this and does her best to make it as doable as possible. After having her for 103 and 104 I can easily say she is the most chill, patient, and understanding econ professor I've had here. Projects were largely graded for completeness, and though difficult, were interesting and practical applications of what we'd learned in class. Her tests are all multiple choice, do not involve coding other than interpreting output, and were always realistic relative to what we were taught and given in practice exams. It was easy to talk to her after lectures with any questions about the material, and she also always came to class dripped out. Overall would highly recommend Boswell for 103, 104, or any other class she's teaching.
