<p>Generally people tell me that macro is easier, but what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Is there a difference in the toughness of the course?</p>
<p>yea macro is easier</p>
<p>macro is more on theory
micro is more on very basic formula</p>
<p>so it depends if ur more of an ideological person or a mathematical person
but dam micro was hard >_<</p>
<p>yea but micro is more fun in general</p>
<p>I found micro more fun and easier.</p>
<p>And found Macro easier, more fun, and more intellectually stimulating.</p>
<p>if you guys talking aboout lower or upper division ? for lower devision, both are easy. Just don't know how about upper</p>
<p>lol dragon
i doubt anyone here will post about upper division classes</p>
<p>Micro upper division is harder b/c of calculations</p>
<p>Micro lower division is easier b/c you can relate to it more</p>
<p>macro is easier. generally macro is a prereq for micro, and if ur taking macro you probably have to take micro anyways</p>
<p>MACRO is definitely easier -- upper OR lower division.</p>
<p>I think it is more fun the do micro with Calculus, that why I will finish multivariable derivative (4th quarter Calculus) and Linear Algebra this Summer. The lower div Micro is just like baby stuff.</p>
<p>Lower div micro at UCLA is calculus based</p>
<p>i know, but we are talking about Lower Division Micro in cc general</p>
<p>In my experience Macro is much easier than Micro. However, what is your major? It might be beneficial to take both. I took both courses last summer online through my CC, it was ALOT of reading but quite easy and manageable.</p>
<p>i took high school economincs (both micro and macro) and i feel macro is much easier to relate than micro.</p>
<p>To kind of repeat what many have said, yes, Macro is a lot more theory. Micro is more quantitative and deals a lot with calculus. Micro you deal a lot more with numbers such as profit margins and cost curves while Macro is more worldly and theoretical based.</p>
