She's a great professor who really cares about her students. I'm a math econ major so econ 11 was pretty easy for me, so you should probably disregard my assessment of the course difficulty. I still think that there is no reason for everybody to not get an A in this class McGarry and her team of TA's are the most accessible I know at UCLA. I would definitely recommend taking Econ 11 with her

Fall 2018 - Mcgarry is a really fun and easy to talk to professor. She really tries to get to know her students and make her freshmen participate in this fiat lux. The fiax lux itself is extremely easy and interesting. I felt like I learned a lot about federal spending. The class requires you to create and give a presentation at some point but the class only meets 5 times and then it's done so it's super easy and quick.

Best Economics professor I have had by far due to her clear and organized lectures. She is very concerned for students to do well, and while her exams can be tough, they are very fair. No tricks, if you pay attention, keep up with the homework, you will do well. Professor McGarry brings outside topics into the class and broadens our understanding of public finance through issues that matter such as the Kyoto Protocol and Medicare. The format I had during Spring 2003 was two midterms and a final. She also gave 1 point for each extra credit assignment, usuallly easy 1-2 page analysis of economic articles and news clippings. Not a whole lot, but those points can matter in the end.
