Economics 101 Curve?

<p>I've heard that econ 101 is curved so that 25% get A's and 33% get B's. Are you curved against your specific section? Or against all econ 101 classes? Or something else? Also, do all econ 101 classes take the same exams?</p>

<p>btw, if the tests are the same for all econ 101 classes, does it really matter at all which professor i get ?</p>

<p>gerson and malone have the same tests, and its curved across the entire class. usually there is another professor, who has his own tests and lecture slides, and his tests are curved across the entire class separately.</p>

<p>I had Proulx and he had the same grading scale. I don’t know if this would be true, but maybe taking econ 101 second semester would be better because all the kids trying to get into Ross would take it first semester. I could be wrong though.</p>

<p>So proulx, gerson, and malone pretty much are equal in terms of difficulty to get an A? Btw, if I waited to take it 2nd semester, would i be guaranteed to get into an econ 101 class? That would suck if I couldn’t get into one lol</p>

<p>Probably. I don’t know anyone personally who didn’t get into econ 101.</p>

<p>I also heard that taking it in the second semester is much easier</p>

<p>i heard proulx is terrible. i’m taking it in the fall…is he really that bad? i can’t fit it in at any other time. i might just pass/fail it since i’m engineering…</p>

<p>Kossoudji is supposed to be the easy one</p>

<p>proulx is awful.</p>
