CollegeGo into this class expecting to be challenged and occasionally tricked. The Econ department has begun to aggressively weed out people in the major starting in the intro courses and it shows as the class average was a 70% before the curve. This class is not the walk in the park it once was. 90% exam weighting and difficult exams.
Spent so many hours studying, doing the practice tests, and still receiving c's on my tests. These test were made to trick you. During Lecture, the professor got the practice questions wrong about 80% of time. Told us there was going to be a heavy curve, then last lecture said the avg in the class was a 69% and there would be little to no curve.
90% of your grade is from exams, which is super unnecessary. Attendance not reuiqred I didnt go to a single lecture. The exams are made to trip you up
found CLAS to be more useful than his lectures as all the prof did was read off slides posted on canvas. 85-90% of your grade is dictated by 3 exams and the questions are deliberately written/worded to trick you. you won't really know what you're final grade will be until after the last exam due to not knowing how low or high the curve will be.
Lectures aren't too helpful because he just reads the slides, if you want to do well in the class study the slides and review the past exams section(!!!). The material isn't too difficult but the tests are formatted in a way where its hard to get a good grade. If you learn the style of questions you will do well. Ended up being a 7 or 8% curve.
This dude is ahh. I took this class because everyone said it was an easy A online, but he decided to randomly change the grading structure and system this quarter, making it 90% exams and 10% hw. I feel for everyone who suffered his class this quarter as well. also something he did which pmo was always complaining abt ppl talking like chill brodie.
