Prof. Boswell was honestly awesome and definitely one of the better professors I've had at UCLA. She provides every test she's given as study material, along with explanations for right and wrong answers. She hosts multiple office hours per week, both online and in person as well, and lectures are recorded (no attendance required). The only homework are 3 assignments which are very manageable and which she will help with if you have questions at office hours. Cheat sheets are allowed for every test.
As far as doing well, I'd highly recommend taking the tests she provides as seriously as possible, a lot of those questions/concepts showed up on tests just with different wording. I'd suggest watching the lectures at least once, I feel like she explains the concepts better than the textbook.

Professor Boswell was medicore. Very dry lectures often fell behind in material and then tough really fast the following lecture to catch up which was not helpful. Her exams were hard it was helpful she emailed out past exams, but they were still hard despite the resources given to us. Homework is very lit just 3 group projects, nit very useful in studying for exams tho, just pretty just rely on past exams and lecture slides to study. Final was really hard, I was also suffering from severe salmonella from De Neve Dining so it may be a little easier otherwise, overall I didn't do that awful despite my situation, I just bombed the first midterm because I didn't really want to study after the fires. I don't like the fact that there isn't a better of two schemes even tho there is two midterm if that existed my grade would have been a lot higher, oh well that's one big warning do well on all the exams otherwise it will hurt you for the rest of the quarter.

If you took Boswell for 103 this class is defenitley a lot harder imo. As someone who got an A in 103, I died on the final. Theres 3 projects worth 10% each. Midterm is 30% and final is 40%. I'm not sure about my class, but I know the quarter before I took it there was a downcurve so watch out for that. You get cheat sheets for the midterm and final so make sure you put all the practice problems on there.

This class was okay, the professor is nice and funny, but the midterms and finals were pretty difficult. The midterm ended up being curved by a couple questions which helped but the final tanked my grade... I had an A prior to the final then ended with a B+. She also did most lectures online which was nice in the moment but when it came to the final I probably would've learned better in person.

As someone who got a C+ in Econ41 I got an A in this class so its possible to do well if you didn't do well in 41. There's a midterm 30% and final 40% both multiple choice and 4 projects 30%. I just found it to be less mathy than Econ 41 so it was possible to do well. This is my third time taking Boswell as I took her for Econ 1 and 2 and I will be taking her again for Econ 104. Solid grading scheme and fair midterm and final. The projects can be a pain though if you have no coding background.

I absolutely love Professor Boswell's teaching style. Her slides include everything you need to know for the exams, and she provides ample cheat sheets for both the midterm and final. She is also passionate about teaching and is very understanding of students' circumstances. I paid less than 50% attention in lectures, but reading through her slides allows me to learn everything by myself. She also gives practice exams and weekly practice problems from the textbook, definitely recommend doing to get familiar with the concepts. On the downside, the group assignments we had to do were very time-consuming. I was fortunate enough to have teammates who each contributed something and always stayed on top of tasks, so choose your teammates wisely and don't procrastinate on the group assignments.

i highly recommend taking 103 with professor boswell! she's a very straightforward and entertaining lecturer and provides a strong foundation for the 103 and 104 series. the grading scheme is 30% assignments, 30% midterm, and 40% final. she is extremely generous with cheatsheets (3 doubled sided sheets)!!!! i found the midterm to be very fair and pretty similar to the most recent exams. i thought the final was extremely difficult (was honestly hoping for a 50%) and got an 82% so it was pretty chill. assignments consist of both math problems from the textbook and a little R, and you can either do it in a group or on your own. overall, i'm super glad that i'll be taking 103 and 104 with boswell!

Boswell is a great professor and provides plenty of resources for student success. The way I studied for this class was by doing her weekly ungraded practice problems, as well as my TA’s weekly discussion section problems. Then, about 2-3 days before the midterm, I would do all of Boswell’s practice midterms and time myself to ensure I could complete them within the 1 hour and 15 minute time window. I used this same approach to study for the final. Also, for each lecture, I would watch the recordings instead of attending them live, and I would probably spend an average of 2.5 hours on each lecture, taking in-depth notes. If you follow this weekly routine, it may only require 8-10 hours of dedication per week, and you’ll be able to retain the lecture material very well. I also never read the textbook, I only relied on her lectures.

Professor Boswell was amazing, she really will give you all the tools necessary to succeed in her class. Econ 2 overall personally felt easier to me than Econ 1, she does a great job in explaining topics thoroughly and provides SEVERAL previous midterms and finals so that you can study for your current exams in her class. She is relatively generous in her grading and curving, if 3% of the class brings it to her attention that a question on an exam was misleading, unfair, etc, she changes and adjusts the points for the whole class. Lectures are in person but also streamed through ZOOM to accommodate students who are sick that day or can't make it to class. Discussion is not mandatory but VERY helpful. Assignments can be done in groups or independently and are not time-consuming at all. I would recommend you take her, she was really helpful and an overall great professor.

Boswell's lectures became ramble like at times, but the midterms and finals were very reasonable, and ample study resources were provided. If you go to office hours, she is very helpful, and is very interesting to talk to about stuff outside of the curriculum. No one really went to office hours outside of the week before the midterms, so Boswell was a good professor to be able to spend time with.
