Since ECON 109 has now become a pre-requisite for higher-level economics classes, hopefully, this can help someone out. I found this prof to be incredibly fair. She was easily accessible outside of class and wanted to see her students do well. An A+ was easily attainable for a native English speaker. I actually did come out knowing more than I did before and with better writing skills. She also spent a lot of time working on concepts for non-native English speakers which seemed pretty helpful.

To get in her good books, actively participate in class! Read the textbook as required of course, and try to not miss any classes.
