I’m taking econ201 online this summer and I am not that great at math so… what kind of math are in these courses? How did you get an A in these courses? how did the tests go for you? did they require you to do any math? I really want to know what I am getting myself into
Thanks!
You’d have to say what the names of those classes are. Econ 201 means different things in different schools
Agree, the course numbers are not the same at each school. You should get a good indication of the level of math needed if you check your course catalog to see if there are any math prerequisites for these courses.
ECON201 - Microeconomics
Pre reqs: Math 95: Intermediate Algebra
OR Math 94: Statway Bridge to Business Algebra
ECON202 - Macroeconomics
Pre res: Math 94 or Math 95
MATH I TOOK:
Math 93: Descriptive Statistics With Algebra
Math 136: Inferential Statistics
From a quick glance, it looks like you don’t have the prerequisite coursework completed. Talk to your academic advisor who is familiar with the coursework/prerequisites at your particular college.
Intermediate algebra is similar to high school algebra 2 (or integrated math 3 if your high school had an integrated algebra/geometry sequence). Did you take that course in high school and do you remember what you leaned in it?
Try these on-line math placement tests to see how well you know the intermediate algebra material:

Very helpful, thanks. I do not remember what took place in that class haha.

Yes you are correct, I decided to give it a try and see if I can handle it, if not I will drop it and take one of the pre reqs
I would take the prerequisites first. They are in place for a reason.
