This class requires thorough understanding of concepts to easily grasp the main ideas being taught, focus and check past papers to succeed.

The class is easy if you stay focused and are on top of your assignments, go through past tests for midterms and finals.

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!

Professor Boswell is a good professor for this class. Her lectures are recorded and everything she covers in the lecture are on the tests. Personally, her class was not super fun or super interesting, but I think that is just the nature of the class, not the professor. If this is your only option for Econ 1, I would recommend taking it with Boswell. She is very fair and super helpful, always willing to teach you a concept you aren't completely sure about. Her class is structured with 3 group assignments (which are super easy), 2 midterms, and 1 cumulative final. Her tests sometimes have tricky questions that make you think (not as straightforward) but if you study, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A in the class. Overall, I would recommend taking Econ 1 with Boswell as you don't really need to read the textbook and the class is pretty easy with a light workload.

Good teacher but lectures get very boring. The exams can be hard but overall Professor Boswell is willing to help.

Boswell has great slides, and if you use her resources you can succeed. The class is graded on a curve, but she might not apply it if the distribution of grades in the class is close enough to the normal distribution. My only complaint is that she would occasionally go on tangents on topics not relevant to the coursework during lectures. However, she posts her slides promptly before or right after each lecture, streams lectures on Zoom, and posts recordings of lectures to watch asynchronously. She posts optional practice sets for each week. There are 2 midterms and a cumulative final exam. There are also 3 assignments that you do in groups, and you can either form your own group or work in the one she randomly assigns you. From what I remember, section attendance was optional. Overall solid class.

professor boswell was just ok. she wasn't outstanding when it came to lecturing but i got by. i feel like she used an excessive amount of curveballs in her exams but i always averaged a B. the assignments were pretty easy, which was nice to have as a cushion compared to econ 1. she allows a printer paper sized doubled sided cheat sheet for each midterm and 3 (this quarter) for our final which was very generous. overall, she's an average lecturer

The structure of this course consisted of three group projects each worth 15%, one midterm, and one final exam. If your final exam score was higher than your midterm, your entire exam grade would be determined by the final. The course material was not particularly easy to comprehend, requiring memorization of numerous models and their implementation using R.

We faced a challenging midterm exam and a considerably easier final exam. The final exam did not include complex calculation questions; it was entirely focused on concepts and definitions. If you understood all the group project and lab topics and prepared a very detailed cheat sheet, it could be a super easy A. In our class, 44% of the students received an A. Even if you did not put in much effort or never study at all, there was no need to worry; the lowest grade given by the instructor was a C-, which is the minimum requirement set by the econ department. Even with a score of zero, your grade would still be a C-.

I received a terrifyingly low score on my midterm, having not reviewed any content throughout the semester. The night before the final exam, I spent a total of 10 hours reviewing all the key points and included them all on my cheat sheet. In the end, I managed to achieve an A-.

Professor Boswell is one of the nicest professors I have ever met. I took her Econ 103 and 104 classes. She cares deeply about her students, explains concepts clearly, and offers ample office hours.

Don't get me wrong, I liked this class and Boswell's lectures and the material were super interesting, but she curves downward like crazy. I've never had a professor curve down before and it was so unexpected because she does it at the end of the class when there's nothing you can do about it. I got a B in the class and she curved it down an entire letter grade down to a C which is crazy, especially when most people in the class are trying to reach the gpa requirement for biz Econ. Be prepared to get at least an A on all the exams and homework if you want a somewhat good grade.

I do not have anything bad to say about Professor Boswell. The class was fine and was pretty manageable you just really need to study hard to do well on the finals. The thing that was very disappointing is that she downcurved the class. I never understood why professors do this, but I would have gotten an A- if she hadn't have downcurved,
