Winter 2017 - Professor Osei is one of the only Econ teachers I like to recommend because she is an excellent lecturer and doesn't drown students in the material to review. I think her whole approach is to keep it light and keep it simple enough to be memorable. Her midterm covered some early chapters, and then the final was more in detail with two chapters. There is always a case study paper that needs to be submitted and is graded by a doctorate student--which you can't ask for feedback. Overall, the class is great to take as an elective, and the professor is there for support if you ask for it. The paper is somewhat tedious, but it shouldn't be a problem for people who start early. Work hard for the midterm and case study. Also, tattoo the two chapters for the final on your eyelids preferably. Check out her Labor Econ (Econ 150) class! It's about the same style for both classes.
