Review:
Dr. Hardman is extremely enthusiastic (sometimes too enthusiastic...it might be all the chocolate covered espresso beans she ate and constantly forced on us) about the material in the course. She encourages discussion on a very regular basis, and will accept alternative views readily. She is also extremely concerned about the progress of students. There is a major research paper, and she met with all of us at least twice to discuss it and to offer any advice or resources that she could find. We convinced her to change the midterm from in class to either in class or take home. She is extremely flexible.

Workload:
The class is an applied econ course, so the workload consists of a lot of reading, about half of which are journal articles. Some of it is very interesting, some not. The information in the articles is all fair game on the mid term (there is an optional final which I don?t' think anyone in our class took). There is also a major research paper (20+ pages) which was a lot of work, but again, Hardman is always available to give you advice and resources, which helped a lot. It was not the fluffy class I thought it would be, but it was definitely worth taking.
