Quote: “She was very positive and engaging, I enjoyed her classes and felt like I learned a lot. I also really appreciated how many real world studies she taught us about, as I feel many econ courses do not go the extra mile to show students the most recent research being done.”

Quote: “Professor Gentry is so passionate about her teaching which made this class very fun.”
