Natalya Naumenko

During 2020-21, she taught three different classes: Econ-630 Mathematical Economics, Econ-309 Economic Problems and Public Policies, and Econ-340 Intro to Mathematical Economics. She is proud of Econ-309,she thinks students really learned something new in this class; satisfied with Econ-340, it's a standard class, however, she will improve the delivery next time; she needs to think how to improve Econ-630 and make it more useful for graduate students.
