<p>For non-econ majors like me (EECS), is Econ 1 a better choice than Econ 2? I heard that Econ 2 is more in-depth but the competition is less fierce and it's easier to get an A. Anyone knows whether that is true?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>i am wondering the same thing too, Econ1 is full and its waitlist is full too...</p>
<p>PS. What other humanity classes do you guys recommend an engineering major to take?</p>

I've been told that we could still get into Econ 1 even if we were No.100 on the waitlist, but I'm not sure......</p>
<p>Well, I think it depends on what you want to get out of your Intro Econ class. It's true that there is competition in Econ 1. And Olney tends to be a picky grader. She makes you know things down to the last detail. That's not to say that Econ 2 will be any easier. Though Econ 1 may have stricter grading standards, the material in Econ 2 is meant to be tougher. And if you look up there grade breakdowns on PickaProf, Olney and Romer are pretty similar, with Romer maybe being a little more lenient in the amount of A's and B's she gives out.</p>
<p>you probably should have taken econ 1 with train this sem =D</p>
