Teaching Experience

Consumer Market Behavior (undergraduate, UIC), Spring 2024-2026
Selected student comments:

• "I think the in-class activities were very insightful and helpful when it came to working on our assignments. The assignments directly related to the material we were learning in class, but we had opportunities to add our own insights or examples to it. I think the overall course was very well taught. All the material felt relevant to the course and the professor knew what they taught. [...] The guest speakers were very insightful and I enjoyed hearing from them." 
  
• "i really like how prof. hagen encouraged us to participate and share different ideas with the class. I also really liked the group assignments we would get in order to better understand what we were learning. I like how clear her presentations are and how everything we learn seems like be up to date with society." 
  
• "I caught myself loving every second of her style of presentations, such complex topics [...] but she put them in examples we would all understand with zero issues." 
  
• "The teacher gave us every resource we would need to succeed. The slides were available to look at right after class, blackboard was set up efficiently, and the teacher responded to emails very quickly. I really loved everything about this course, especially the guest speakers."
  
• "Very caring professor, gave opportunities to maintain good standing in the course."
