Should I Drop My Econ Class?

<p>Hello, I have a 3.48 right now. And im planning on majoring Chemistry. I dont think i can get a B or an A for my micro econ class. Should i consider just grabbing a W instead of a C? or possibly lower? I dont know why microeconomics is so hard.</p>

<p>Drop it. Take the W</p>

<p>I’d like to know the same (with regards to your last question) as I’m taking micro right now and I can do this stuff in my sleep. Chemistry, on the other hand – yeah, let’s not go there.</p>

<p>Depends on where you’re going and whether or not chem is an impacted major at the school (it probably isn’t.)</p>

<p>@WrenchFries is micro really that easy for you? WHATS YO SECRETS !!?!? lol</p>

<p>I would say keep at it. Anybody smart enough to get As and Bs in Chemistry is certainly smart enough to get a B in Microeconomics.</p>

<p>BUT MICROECONOMICS IS SOOOOOOOOO HARD! i dont understand why im not getting it. maybe i should actually read the book…but its still a pain</p>

<p>^kinda like stats for me… stats is a gpa killer.</p>

<p>AFAIK, a chem major has to take calc 1-3, diff eq, and linear algebra. I’m going to assume it’s not the math that’s the cause of your difficulties. Is your confusion restricted to several specific topics or were you lost from day one?</p>

<p>I get confused by applying concepts into the problems, math is easy peasy, but short answers are a total *****.</p>

<p>Can you specify a section? Supply/demand, elasticity, etc.? Maybe put up a question that you have trouble with? My class is 8-week-second, by the way, so you’re probably ahead of our class.</p>

<p>Dude are you kidding me?? He doesn’t even read the damn book and expects to get and A. Please. Give me a break. You deserve your grade. Take it from an Econ Major. Dont read ur book… no A. You should have realized you were gonna have trouble early on and set aside enough time for it. Quit whining.</p>

<p>if you’ve taken calculus the concepts should be intuitive since they’re all applications of single variable calculus. e.g. to see why marginal revenue = marginal cost you just solve for the first order condition of a single variable profit function. In an intermediate level microeconomic courses you’ll generalize this to multivariable functions using the lagrangian and the hessian matrix.</p>

<p>@Billionaire, If i was asking for a ■■■■■, i would have called your mother.
@WrenchFries, thx for your offer to help, but im going to be hitting the books now</p>

<p>^haha^ your mother? lame. Not my fault u got a 3.48 and A “C” in Microecon. And Im not a ■■■■■ just very blunt.</p>

<p>HEY! im looking for help! Not clever observations!</p>

<p>but you should have probably read the book loolll^
and i say take the W, UCs pay no mind to Ws</p>

dude, hi5. legit post!</p>
