<p>I was wondering if anyone has taken one of the smaller Econ 200 (microecon) classes rather than the large lectures.</p>
<p>From the lack of ratings on these classes last quarter, they're probably taught by graduate students...which makes me a bit hesitant about their overall ability to teach.</p>
<p>I was just curious. Maybe these guys are different, but if they're anything like my TAs (also grad students), I wouldn't want to trust them to teach me a whole quarter of economics.</p>
<p>I would recommend taking the large lecture rather than a mini class. I took an Econ 200 mini class my freshman year and completely regret it. My teacher was a graduate student that barely spoke English and could never understand his lectures. The large lecture classes are a lot more straight forward. I would strongly recommend taking the large lecture class. </p>
<p>I did a small Econ 200 class at Univ. of Washington during summer 2012. The instructor was a graduate student and had an accent, but she was able to communicate the the information perfectly well. It’s principles of microeconomics: the material is easy regardless of what teacher you have. The only differences will be the volume of homework and number of examinations.</p>
