ECON150A . Rupert P 3 Months Ago

Professor Rupert is a nice guy who wants his students to succeed. There are 3 equally weighted exams and the lowest gets dropped. Do the work for the first two exams and then you're basically done with the class 2/3 through the quarter.

ECON150A . Rupert P 3 Months Ago

I love Peter so much! My only complaint is McGraw Hill, but other than that the homework was easy (and on quizlet), and his exams are manageable, not to mention his lectures are hilarious, even tho the topic is not the most interesting. My class only had 3 noncumulative exams and one was dropped, as well as light homework.

I love Peter so much! My only complaint is McGraw Hill, but the homeworks are easy, everything is on quizlet too, and his lectures are hilarious and easy to follow. For my class there was no "final" just 3 non cumulative exams (and hw) and the lowest was dropped.

ECON150B . Rupert P 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

You'll get a 0 on an R assignment if you make one mistake and theres no late work allowed. Light math needed since the whole class is MC based. Lots of HW and readings but they'll prep you for the midterm if you also go to class. You need to put in work but its not a bad class. The prof is very responsive which is helpful.
