Any review carried over from elsewhere is marked with its source on its own line. - **2/5 · 2023-01** — ECON 211 changed professors and it has become really hard to get an A in the course. - **4/5 · 2022-08** — Econ 211 is recommended as an easy elective option. - **4/5 · 2022-05** — Students suggest taking ECON 211 instead of ECON 203. - **3/5 · 2022-04** — In ECON 211 the material is easier than ECON 212, but the exams are more difficult. - **5/5 · 2022-04** — ECON 211 is even easier than ECON 212, making it the lighter option of the two. - **2/5 · 2023-08** — ECON 211 with Usama is considered very hard. - **4/5 · 2023-08** — If Raja Sabra is teaching ECON 211, students recommend taking it with her. - **4/5 · 2023-08** — Nora El Baba is a very nice instructor for ECON 211 recitation, grading is fair and there is little extra workload, though students must study the lectures closely to participate. - **3/5 · 2023-08** — Malak Makki is also mentioned as a recommended option for ECON 211. - **2022-06** — ECON 211 in summer is usually delivered online rather than on campus, though students should confirm with the instructor. - **2022-12** — She really tries to help you understand. Does a small recap of the chapter at the beginning of the recitation to make sure everyone knows what's going on. - **2022-11** — Really sweet, makes sure you understand, gives you questions that will come in exam, explains well, really low workload 2 exams only - **2021-08** — If you're looking for a light-workload social elective then this course is for you. You will only really remember this course during midterm week and finals season. However, I do recommend not taking the exams lightly and practicing well with test banks beforehand. Any professor works for this course as far as I know. - **2021-03** — I definitely don't recommend this course with this prof for online!! especially if you don't have a background in econ. the material isn't difficult at all, the classes are asynchronous lectures posted on moodle that make the material look so simple then the exams are completely different, not easy at all - **2020-08** — Econ 211 is generally an easy course. I took it as a free elective with Dr. Hiba Hussein, she is amazing when it comes to explanation. She makes you understand every single detail. I don't recommend skipping her classes if you are aiming for a high grade. - **2020-08** — Dr Casto is the best!!! The course is interesting but a bit tough to students who cannot keep track of it. Concerning Ghina, try to take it with another instructor especially if the semester was online. She is fast but sometimes she confuses what's required and what's not. - **2020-04** — Great instructor for this course, I would highly recommend her - **2020-04** — The course is easy. The instructor is great too. - **2020-03** — Easy and interesting. 90s are achievable - **2020-03** — Best instructor, course is quite easy. - **2019-08** — leila dagher, all she does is pick some questions from the test bank and create an exam - **2019-08** — Hiba Hussein . She's really good. Works so hard to make her students really understand the material - **2019-08** — Hiba’s lectures are fun tho. Shes very nice - **2019-08** — Usamah explains really well and does everything on board so u have to copy what he writes and draws. His exams can be challenging though - **2019-08** — Usamah of course. He explains on the board like in school & his classes are fun. Plus it's not cumulative with him. ## See also - [All Economics courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/economics.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
