Econ100B

<p>Is there a way I can get into this class? I am an engineer and just thought about taking this class. How do the professors hand out the Class codes? Should I email them and talk to them after class? I think that is how most people do it?</p>

Wait List / Adding the Class:
I cannot add you to the class. Enrollment is handled automatically by TeleBears; when a registered student drops the course, the student who is first on the waitlist is automatically added to the course. The waitlist will stopped being processed after week 5. It is unlikely that the entire waitlist will be able to be enrolled. The Department’s procedures can be found at [Undergraduate</a> Enrollment Procedures](<a href=“http://www.econ.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/enrollmentproc.shtml]Undergraduate”>http://www.econ.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/enrollmentproc.shtml).
An alternative is UGBA 101B, Macroeconomic Analysis for Business Decisions, at the Haas School of Business, taught by Professor Levine. His classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. UGBA 101B does count towards the Economics and Political Economy majors in place of Econ 100B.
“Instructor Approval” requests are handled exclusively by Juan Carlos Suarez, the Economics Head GSI, at <a href=“mailto:headgsi@econ.berkeley.edu”>headgsi@econ.berkeley.edu</a> or in 508-2 Evans Hall.

<p>Best bet is to add your self to the waitlist now and pick a discussion that has little to no waitlist and has open seats still. I’ve been waitlist since November 18, and I just got in this week. Also discussions will meet the first day before lecture, so you may be able to get into a class if people don’t show up the first day.</p>

As an engineering student, you will probably find it a better course, since it will likely have to do less hand waving around concepts that are better explained with math.</p>
