This class was really interesting. Professor Jin is really great and really has a passion for the content covered in this course. Almost all of the classes were over zoom with a few acceptations. Also the lectures were really engaging, she asked polls connecting us to the content and opened the floor to discussions which made the class more interesting. The only days that are not on zoom are the presentation days. There were 4 in class presentations that were in person. You will sign up for only one. For your presentation, you will represent an entity, like a business or a government agency, that has a position on a certain topic. Then you present your entity's stance on the topic while other groups representing different entities present theirs's as well and all the groups end up discussing the topic. It's not too difficult to prepare for and it turns out to be more discussion based. Also, there are three coding projects as well. The TA and the professor do a great job laying out the code and discussing what you will be doing in the projects. If you have never coded before, it can be difficult at first but once you get the hang of it, its not that bad. Overall I'm really glad I took this class and I found it really interesting and I learned Python as well. I had a great experience. |

Ginger Jin is great, very knowledgeable, and open to questions. The coding can be a struggle at first but it is learnable and ChatGPT is allowed to be used on it. Grading was relatively nice and done by the TA. Group project/presentation is not very hard. |

Quite possibly the best professor in the economics department. She is very good at teaching, her slides are clear, the homework is applicable, and the exams are very fair. Would strongly recommend. |

Decently harder class compared to the intro Econ courses, but Dr. Jin is very knowledgeable and lectures well. The hour and 15 minute lectures can get a little boring, but if you skip you'll fall behind. There is a pre-determined curve for the class. Anticipate exams to be harder than the practice problems. Homeworks and quizzes are easy A's. Definitely take Dr. Jin over other 326 professors! |

I had Dr. Jin in fall '21 and thoroughly enjoyed the class. She was a very clear lecturer with interesting examples which supplemented the content. The grading for the class was 30% online weekly homework, 20% weekly online quizzes, two midterms worth 15% each, and a final worth 25%. Your two lowest homeworks and quizzes were dropped. In addition, an 85% was the cut-off for an A-. Exams were fair and similar to the practice questions she released. The course was not very mathematically heavy — the most advanced concept we used was partial derivatives and lagrangian optimization. Overall, I would highly recommend taking ECON326 with Dr. Jin! |
