Grade: A-

Some of the content gets confusing fast, but is manageable if you do Mindtap practice questions. The content before the first midterm isn't bad, the second midterm is where it gets more difficult. The exams are open book which helps a lot and the questions are pretty fair. She also gives practice midterms which completely reflect the difficulty of the actual exams. No curve though at least for my class. I would take this class with Boswell if you can.

This class was both wonderful and confusing. The good parts were that the Professor showed a passion for the subject and tried to help us apply concepts to real-life examples through group projects focusing on real-life situations. The materials chosen typically helped clarify things covered in class and were not difficult to obtain. The bad parts were that sometimes topics became convoluted due to mistakes made during lectures or on tests and some of the material listed in the syllabus was never covered due to a lack of time in the course. The class could have been planned better and a few of the materials contained mistakes, however I feel confident in the subjects that we did cover.

I think I have to preface this by saying that a lot of my struggle came from my poor studying habits. I got destroyed by the second midterm but did well on the first midterm + final so ended with an A-. Prof Boswell seems like a very genuine person who wants to help you learn, and a pretty cool person overall. However, I didn't love/mesh with her lecture style much -- she wasn't the most engaging in my opinion and I found myself dozing off quite a bit (for comparison I love Surro's lecture style and format). Also Boswell always had the coolest drip so I have to respect her for that.

Professor Boswell is the best professor!! Her lectures are super clear and she always relates the material to relevant situations within the economy. She is super helpful and answers any questions/concerns in office hours. I would highly recommend attending Professor Boswell's office hours. The class consists of group homeworks, 2 midterms, and a final. If you can definitely take a class with her!

A really understanding and caring professor that presents in a clear manner (really good slides for people who find themselves skipping class often).

She always tried to find relevant material for the students, often talking about things happening in the present, and a lot of the group work also dealt with actualities.

Manageable exams if you study on time.

Overall, a great and very kind professor would take again 100%!

This class was extremely well-taught, with strong slides and plenty of practice exams, homeworks, and resources to prepare for exams. The final grade was comprised of 30% midterm, 40% final, and 30% group projects. If you do all the practice weekly questions and make a good cheat sheet, you'll be fine. Taking Boswell again for 104!

The class was online with multiple choice, open book/note midterms and final so it was an easy class, however the professor was a bad lecturer and I feel like I didn't learn much at all in this class. Her lectures were all over the place, and sometimes she would repeat herself, or forget what she was talking about, or contradict herself in the next sentence. When watching the lecture recordings, I would often play it back multiple times since it was just super confusing to understand her overall point.

Easy A, but you barely learn anything and her lectures are boring, bad, and frustrating.
