Hello, I'm a freshman in college, and I have this econ class with a professor that has a 2.1 on RateMyProfessor. All the comments are about how hard the class is or how her practice quizzes don't match the exam.

I'm committing to staying in the class since I'm an Econ major, but the content doesn't seem impossible to understand, and the textbook is pretty clear and easy too annotate. The practice quizzes are fine as well, I do them every chapter we finish. It just sounds like basic MicroEcon, my only issue is that the entire grade is tests and an attendance grade for discussions, but that just means I have to do good on tests.

I don't want to make a negative assumption of a course, but there's a lot of dooming right now, even before any exam. Do a lot of people review bomb professors in classes they do poorly in?
