<p>I'm debating whether or not to take econ 101 this semester. I am currently enrolled for 17 credits including econ101. I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the workload of 17 credits because I finished first semester with a 2.96 with only 15 credits :(</p>
<p>I am in COE and this coming semester I am taking engr100,calc2, physics/lab and possibly econ.(I heard both calc 2 and engr100 are HUGE time consuming classes.)</p>
<p>What was your schedule first semester?</p>
<p>Calc 2 is not very time consuming… I only spent about 6 hrs a week outside of class on it, though I got a B…</p>
<p>If your 1st semester was Math 115, Engr 101, Chem 130/125/126 and Engr 110, and all you could do was a 2.96 then you shouldn’t also take Econ 101. Because all of those next semester classes are harder than the previous from what people have told me.</p>
<p>Yeah those were the exact classes I took. But idk, Chem is/was my worst subject in hs. I was much more comfortable with physics in hs also idk how I only got a B in Calc 1. I got a 5 on calc AB and I felt pretty comfortable with the material first semester (the final exam screwed over my overall grade.)</p>
<p>oh and I’ve also taken AP Econ</p>
<p>Oh, maybe then take it… I don’t know. Do you not place out from AP econ? If you do, maybe you should take 401?</p>
<p>isn’t it better to take Econ101 in CC for easier work and better GPA?</p>
<p>Easier work is never better… You learn less.</p>
<p>It might be better to take 101 and 102 at a CC is you’re not good at quantitative thinking but just want to learn econ. I’ve not taken either so I can’t tell you how hard it is, but in another thread (and I’ve heard from various people) is that it’s easy for people in Engineering.</p>
