<p>Is ECON 301 really that hard? I checked the median grade reports and the class average was a B, this then makes it harder than some ChemE classes, which is kind of weird.</p>
<p>A lot of freshmen engineering courses are curved to a B-... just get used to it. Difficulty is dependent on your proficiency and natural ability in a subject, along with the median grade.</p>
<p>Anything curved to a B or higher is reasonable. Some of the weeder premed classes (intro bio, gen chem, etc.) are curved to B-'s but that's because, well, they're trying to weed out people from an overpopulated major.</p>
