<p>how easy is Econ 100A? -doesn't matter which professor---
the basics...</p>
<p>do tests accurately represent material covered in the book?...in lecture?
how many midterms?
is there homework assigned?
is discussion or lecture required?
essays??
about how much effort/work is required for the class?</p>
<p>I’m curious about this too. Specifically, what advice would senior/graduate Economic students give to students beginning to taking upper division ECON classes at UCSD for the first time? Thanks!</p>
<p>Im taking 100A right now with Noel and it’s not too bad if you still remember calculus pretty well. Professor Noel is the only one teaching 100A this quarter and from what I hear he is the toughest. He scared the whole class by telling us that 20 percent of us were going to fail the class. However, its actually not so bad if you study. There is one midterm worth 40% and the final is worth 60%. Thats it. His midterm does represent the stuff he covered in lecture. Discussion and lecture are not required, but if you dont go to lecture its going to be really hard to pass. </p>
<p>Overall, the class isnt so bad but I think its harder than 110A and 120A. I studied about 5 hours a day for about a week right before the midterm and I think I aced it. I had not studied at all before that.</p>
<p>Piece of cake if you can take a derivative and show up to class.</p>
<p>does anyone know how sections work for melissa famulari?</p>
<p>i’m registering on thursday morning and i plan on taking the 10 am lecture, with discussion on tuesday at 7-7:50 pm. however, there are only 6 more open spots and i’m pretty sure it’s going to get filled by tomorrow. i cannot attend the 8-8:50 discussion, but if the 7-7:50 one is full, im going to have to register for the 8-8:50 one, while attending the 7-7:50 one. so my question is, does famulari gives quizzes or take roll or anything in which i NEED to be in the section i registered for? or is it fine to sign up for 8-8:50 but go to the 7-7:50 section.</p>
