<p>Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my laptop and had a chat
Made my class in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and sat right down
A professor spoke and i went into a dream
AH,ah,ah,ah</p>
<p>best... song... ever. but, the beatles' version, not yours...sorry. = )</p>
<p>coming from nyc, i would have to say that the newly opened famiglia pizza at moravian cafe is where it's at.</p>
<p>Most classes average 4 hours a week for lecture+recitation, but really, you only have to go to as many hours as you want. (However you might not be very happy with that decision during finals week =( I can't believe Eudey tested so much on the dumb fed reserve material).</p>

<p>haha I guess I'm not your typical student, but this sound fun</p>

<p>Tell me about it. Stupidest test ever.</p>
<p>I hate Eudey's test too, so specific, if you dont put down diminishing return or perfect comp. then points off. Things like that are all common senses, need not to write it out in every response. That's y i think Eudey's test is merely a test of memorization, not your actual understandng of the subject. I like econ 001 better, you can bs as long as you convey the correct point across...</p>
<p>seriously, it got to the point where i told myself to write at the top of every question</p>
<ol>
<li>assumes perfect competition and diminisihing returns</li>
<li>assumes US is large enough to affect world interest rates</li>
<li>assumes households are irrational</li>
</ol>
<p>without even looking at the question.</p>
<p>Haha well not that extreme, but I did write the required 1/2 point comments at the top before answering</p>
<p>Dont u assume households are RATIONAL when talking bout simplified eco models?</p>
<p>You should. Sometimes you don't, though.</p>
<p>Not in macro, only in micro. Although in macro you will stylize irratoinality.</p>
<p>I did not like Macro. It reminded me of those high school classes where you just memorized specific details. Miss a small detail and you miss points. You had to literally list like a process of ideas to get the answer right. For instance, as an example you can't say 2+2=4. You have to say 2 and 2 are numbers, + adds two numbers, thus 2+2 means adding 2 to the other 2 making 4 (don't forget to mention it's commutative!). It's a lot like that... do we really need to constantly explain the assumptions in every question/problem? Why not mention that demand and supply are downward/upward sloping? Why not define r, L, MFP, K, and I in every problem that uses them? It's weird.</p>
<p>You have to constantly mention dim-returns and perfcomp and other small details like that... I didn't like how Eudey's tests were done. Sure, it all makes sense, but like even if your answer is "right" it can still miss points if you miss the small details she is looking for. Micro was a lot cooler because it was more problem-solving whereas Macro was more rote memory. There was a big point-section devoted to the structure of the Fed, which I thought was kinda funky. How is the Fed a "bankers' bank"? How are people appointed? How is it a decentralized centralized system? All sorts of stuff that could normally have logical, rational answers get nailed if you happened to miss the specific details needed to answer those questions.</p>
<p>To me Macro seemed more a test of test-taking and point-grubbing than it was actual learning. Micro taught me a lot... Macro taught me how to take Macro tests.</p>
<p>HER macro is lame. macro in general is pretty awesome.</p>
<p>Eudey is a strickler for details. The next course in macro, 102, is completely different and much more based on logical thinking.</p>
<p>C'mon guys, don't be so hard on Eudey... Granted, a lot of the test was rote memorization, but she did emphasized in class that the structure of the Fed was probably going to be on the test. She even showed us the video! That part was definitely the easiest part of the final for me. About the class in general, I feel I learned about the same I did in Micro...</p>
<p>Rudess: Well due to work study I could not attend the actual class itself :( I had no idea the Fed stuff would be on the test. The tests in micro seemed to test what you knew better but Macro just tested whether or not you knew how to answer the way she wanted you to. Idk. I just didn't like it much at all. People taking Macro at other peer schools showed me the kinda stuff they do and it seems much more like Micro in terms of how they test you.</p>
<p>lol i'm not gonna lie i missed the questions just because I was too lazy to attend the class. I found myself falling asleep so many times because of the dim lights / comfy chairs that I gave up almost entirely in the last few weeks</p>
<p>During the times I was able to attend, I could see what you mean. It is real easy to fall asleep in that room... it's quite comfy :D</p>
<p>If you couldn't attend because of a work study job, switch jobs. Classes should always be put before the job.</p>
<p>Not as easy as it sounds though and I needed a lot of work study this year.</p>
<p>lectures are overrated. It makes me sad but a lot of professors here aren't worth the tuition. They often don't enhance the material found in the textbook nearly enough, and I find that I can do better studying on my own. I do go to certain lectures religiously, but for others it really depends on my mood and whether or not I've gone in a while</p>
