<p>It's both taught by the same guy next fall, but why is that ugba 101b has a lecture of 31 students? ***? </p>
<p>so, should I take econ 100b or ugba 101b? I mean if it's taught by the same guy, the grading rubric should be the same, right?</p>
<p>Don’t forget the infamous Haas curve! :P</p>
<p>Haha yeah don’t want to compete under that nasty brutish curve lol especially if its with 31 haasholes j/k LOL (i’m in haas so i’m not hating :D)</p>
<p>but with 31 students, it definitely feels more intimate but it also means it can work against me with such a small number of people in terms of the curve</p>
<p>Well, ugba 101b is meant for business majors and business majors usually have a structured scheduled and most of them take ugba 101b in the spring, so this is a small class for the small percentage of business majors taking it in the fall instead of the spring. econ 100b is a more general version for other majors.</p>
<p>Dang… can more people comment on this curve thing? I was planning on taking 101B but I would rather not be *****ed by Haas majors.</p>
<p>Economics 101B is usually a lot smaller class than Economics 100B.</p>
<p>I’m in UGBA101B right now (after being unable to get into Econ100B with Wood this semester). I was taking both classes at the same time for the first 2 weeks of school because I was waitlisted for 100B. The material for 101B is WAYYYYYYYYYY easier and you learn at a much slower pace. It is also more structured towards current events and discussions, whereas 100B was a lot of graphs and equations.</p>
<p>HOWEVER - I have Prof. Levine, not Wood, for 101B, so I don’t know how Wood would structure 101B. Also, the downside is that there is definitely a Haas curve. Our midterm is tomorrow…</p>
<p>^ How’s Levine anyways? I was in UGBA 101B in the beginning but dropped it after the last lecture. I totally wasn’t feeling his teaching style…</p>
<p>Yeah I was SUPER skeptical going into the class because I’d heard from so many people that he’s a big jerk, but I think I’ve gotten used to him. I actually like his teaching style (making us read the Financial Times and stuff) because it kind of forces me to be more updated about global business and how economies affect each other. The midterm today wasn’t that bad - the only bad part is that it was kind of hectic to prepare for because he really didn’t give us much to prepare with as far as what to study…even the GSIs had no idea what would be on the test when we had review last night haha. </p>
<p>I basically like all aspects of UGBA101B better than Econ100B EXCEPT for the Haas curve…it’s kind of intimidating taking the class with a bunch of juniors and seniors.</p>
<p>Hmm…I kind of like it if the lecture small is size…makes it easier to interact/learn I guess instead of being in a big lecture hall</p>
<p>but I like the freedom of being in a big lecture hall…</p>
<p>then comes the haas curve ugh </p>
<p>decisions, decisions </p>
<p>anybody have advice on econ100a or ugba101a? i heard that our micro profs aren’t that great…</p>
<p>is it ok to take UUGBA 101 or econ 100b w/o taking econ 1?</p>
<p>^ do you have any econ background to justify taking Upper Div econ?</p>
<p>I have a finance background as I am currently interning in the financial sector.</p>
