Ha i kinda agree with this.
Just cus its bird to some doesnt mean it is to all
i personally found calculus to be the easiest course here @mac but not everyone agreed with me lol

I still got an A+ in the course because the final exam was so easy.
I remember spending like 3 days to study for it and get 95ish on the exam.
If your exam is on Friday... that is MORE THAN ENOUGH time to study and ace the exam. You should even be able to listen to all the podcasts..

Nice to know you cheated...

The difference is intro to economics does not require you to understand fundamental concepts of economics, more so you just need to be able to do simple addition, subtraction and division. I completely agree with people who say that if you cant pass intro to econ, you should reconsider being in university. There are stumps in the ground that could pass that course!

The primary goal of microeconomics is to learn to maximize subject to constraint.

Sounds like the poster did that. I'd say he got the point of the course pretty well xD

Pretentious? When did calling someone out on academic dishonesty become pretentious? I'm not even accusing the poster. They made their own admission.

What you're saying is kinda pretentious to be honest.
Let's be honest here, are you sure that you have never used MSAF before? I highly doubt it.
To me, letting my friends do the clickers for me, which is worth <5%, is much more 'honest' than deferring some midterms that are worth way more than that.

Don't drop the course now. Just give it your best

Hey! No need to be discouraged. You have enough time to study and do well on the exam. Just study from her lecture slides and refer to the textbook if you don't get a concept. Look at the midterms and see where you might have gone wrong. You just need to understand a few topics, do a set of practice questions related to it, and you should be fine. A lot of the questions are asked in sets, like look at the figure and answer questions 1-5. So, understanding one concept really well might help a lot. And you can definitely do this. Good luck

I have a heart condition, so yes I have used MSAF before. Any respiratory issue (even some colds) can require that I stay home. I also used one when my grandfather died.

The fact that MSAF use is generally regarded as dishonest speaks more to the human condition than any one person.

Well, enough said.
MSAF is legit and asking a friend to do the clicker is not? lol

Are you really that ignorant to think a valid MSAF is the equivalent of giving someone your iclicker for a term cuz you are too lazy to get off your ass and attend lectures for free marks?
You really are making it easy to target you with your comments here. Sorry this person is attacking your comments with her ignorance Alomar!

I honestly don't think that a death of grandfather is a valid use of MSAF
I recommend that you go on the website to read the regulations
Besides, Im not only talking about Alomar. There are more people who abuse MSAF and im saying that giving my clicker to a friend is not such a big deal compared to those abusing the MSAF.
And also i didnt even start this argument it was alomar who first made an unnecessary comment

lol there is actually people failing a bird course?

pretty much all courses are easy to fail if you do nothing in them. even going through the slides in econ just once wont even be enough for you to pass probably.
