ECON1 . Benzarti Y C 9 Months Ago

This class is really not difficult, but his homework is really not good. There were a lot of questions where the answers were wrong and I was very distressed at the time. And he still needs to answer questions in his section. This is not high school.

This class is very manageable. Lectures and sections are optional and the notes are posted online, so missing class is completely fine. Homework and projects are allowed unlimited attempts and are pretty easy. What will determine your grade are the 4 exams. If you study 1-2 hours for each one, an A in this class should be achievable.

I took ECON 1 for GE as a physics major who suck at social sciences, so take it with a grain of salt. His course is easy to do well, his explanations and lectures are somewhat confusing (for me, at least) but it all made sense after some self studying. Homework(RQ & Projects) are simple and on point. Solid choice. Note: Highest score is A (93-100)

The lectures weren't the best but attendance is not mandatory and the slides are always posted, along with study guides and exam practice. The assignments are easy and straightforward, with the lowest RQ, exam and project being dropped. Definitely had to study for exams but it was all stuff from the reviews and lectures.

Great at explaining concepts in a way that students who aren't naturally economically inclined(?) can easily understand. Exams aren't lightwork but they're fair. I barely went to class and did fine. Slides can get messy but overall they're pretty useful. Easy class yet still learned some good stuff. Lowest exam gets dropped! Great prof.

Lectures and sections don't have required attendance. As long as you memorize the information on the study guide and do practice problems, you'll be fine. Weekly quizzes and a project with unlimited attempts. 4 exams, not cumulative. 15 questions on tests so missing one or two questions does drop you quick. Lowest quiz, project, and exam dropped.
