Review:
This class was phenomenal, the professor's enthusiasm for the material is what made her one of the best instructors I've had at Tufts. She came prepared with handouts each day, would constantly encourage us to ask questions, and would go over material without us asking her to- but simply because she sensed that we weren't following. She holds the class outside on warm days, brings in chocolate to keep us smiling through the class, and is very engaging in her lectures. She constantly switches up the format of the class, with presentations, and group dialogue a little role play etc. so as to keep us interested. She set up office hours, but beyond that would sign us up to meet with her personally, so we were all granted some one on one time with her. I would suggest that particularly people who thought they didn't like economics take this class- it's that good!

Workload:
The work load was varied, and we were assigned a lot of current event readings (articles etc.) which were excellent. Also chose a movie that dealt with migration and wrote a movie review, and worked on our own research projects. The good thing about this class is that it teaches you two very important skills at once, on the one hand is the obvious econ. on the other the papers we wrote where done with the help of a writing fellow, which means that our writing improved significantly throughout the course of the class. (And it wasn't that hard!) She's also a very fair grader...
