Most Helpful Review
Spring 2020 - To be honest I'm not such why this class has such high reviews. I took this class in online format and the professor was super dry. It was just the most basic yet most boring type of econ class and is focused mainly on memorizing formulas and graph shifts (IS-LM, etc) rather than learning anything applicable to real life. Wasn't particularly difficult but also is definitely not easy (average for midterm was around 66%), so don't take it expecting to just breeze through. Having open-note exams was really helpful though, I don't think I could've gotten an A if the exams were irl.
