<p>To those of you who have taken this course, what teachers would you recommend? How math intensive is it? Although both are desirable, does this class cater more to strong analytical thinkers or great math students?</p>
<p>I recommend Gerson. There really aren't a whole lot of professors to choose from anyway. It's not math intensive at all. You'll pretty much do basic arithmetic. IMO, it's better to be analytical in general than be good at math.</p>
<p>They stripped all the math from this class because the business people freak out if they so much as hear the word. Mostly just common sense/analytical stuff.</p>
<p>Whenever I paid attention in Gerson's lecture last semester, none of her stuff would make sense, and then my GSI would be able to explain it in about 5 minutes/I would be able to figure it out on my own from the homework. That being said, I don't know if the other one is any better (if there is another one...last semester I think Gerson did three out of the four lectures, and I'm pretty sure the other person uses her slides anyways.). The only real reason to go to lecture is there's a little extra credit for attendance, and one question on each of the three exams is "Which example was used in class to talk about this concept?".</p>
<p>My experience was the opposite with Gerson. I thought the course pack notes from lecture class were better than the GSI or textbook. I think the curve is designed so that the top quarter of the class gets an A. I don't remember how that works.</p>
<p>Take Malone or Gerson stay away from kossoudji, 2 exams 1 midterm and 1 final (all 16 chapters) thats how it was for us last semester.</p>
<p>Sherry is still there? LOL She is a funny lady. Gerson is also very nice. 101 and 102 are easy. The curve can be a little stiff at times, but the content is a breeze. It gets a little tougher with 401 and 402.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't think the book did a really good job, either (never looked at mine). But often times the lectures seemed to be slide after slide of complicated graphs that were illustrating a pretty basic concept. Basically I'd look at the solution sets and reverse engineered what we were supposed to learn, and anything I didn't get my GSI cleared up.</p>
<p>Which professor is the EASIEST (easiest to get A in) for Econ 101 and 102?</p>
