This class is fantastic. While the lectures can be a bit dull at times, Professor Sekhri certainly cares a lot about her students and wants to see them succeed. If you've taken Shobe's class, it's pretty much the same thing just with a little more math (honestly, I found it to be easier despite it being a 4000-level class). There are no readings, and really no other outside work other than the 5 (pretty short) problem sets and the group project (which my group knocked out in a weekend with ease). The exams are extremely fair, and she pretty much tells you everything you need to know in the study guides and problem sets. I found that a great study strategy was to create a sheet with everything included on the study guide, and redo the problem sets once or twice. If you do that, you're golden. While she provides very little guidance for the group project, doing so seems intentional, as all she wants to see is that you did your research and applied class concepts to any environmental topic that you are interested in. Overall, a solid, relatively easy choice for an Econ elective.

Professor Sekhri means well, but she is super boring and lackadaisical which makes it hard to pay attention in lecture. She also was late and/or cancelled class many times throughout the semester. The content is also not super interesting unless you are profoundly interested in environmental economics. With that being said, she was fair with grading and exams were not difficult. The problem sets were not hard and there was no other work aside from studying and the group project at the end of the semester. You could do worse if looking for an elective in the economics department. #tCFS24

This is the best class that I've taken within the Econ department yet. Professor Sekhri is a spectacular teacher, and shes super fair. There are two midterms worth 25% each, a final "quiz" which is super light if you do a good job reviewing worth 17%, an easy group project worth 15%, and the rest is homework and participation. The homework is a completion/"effort based" grade (as long as you do something or show some work you're going to get full point, and the TA goes over the answer and the process.

If you review the HW and follow the review sheet, you're going to do well on the tests.

Overall Professor Sekhri does an amazing job showing how this is relevant. This class answers the "why am I learning this" question everyone suffers in the required classes for Econ, and she is as fair as it gets. Highly recommend.

Interesting and has in-depth knowledge about her field. Would highly recommend it to someone who took ECON3010 and wants to learn about environmental economics. It has a lot of quantitative stuff and a lot of memorisation and application but I think it's a great elective.

The material and course is fairly straight forward, but doing well on the exams requires lots of memorizing. None of the concepts were that hard. The exams are very similar to the problem sets.

Prof. Sekhri was sick for part of the semester, but my impressions, she is fair and straight forward with the material.

Overall, the class was interesting , but it moves at a snail's pace. I would take the course if you are looking for a fairly simple Econ course and have an interest in environmental topics that are typically in the news.

Not a difficult class. The problem sets are easy 100's and directly reflect what will be on the test. The class is half math and half conceptual. No reading is required and the class is usually interesting; although the slides can put you to sleep.

If you study a moderate amount for the tests and pay attention in class, getting an A is not difficult.

This class is not as easy as mentioned, actually a decent amount of work required for an A and grading can be random. Lots of uncertainty in terms of what you end up getting. Lectures can be dry except for those really interested in environmental policy. Don't expect an easy A, definitely have to work to get it.

Interesting and easy class. Study guides for the exams are handed out that outline everything you'll need. Grading is lenient also.

interesting class. just study the exam reviews she hands out and you should do fine

The best course in the ECON dept. Interesting topic, easy exams and nice professor.
