take econ 1bb3, if you don't mind to perform some arithmethic in GDP and interest rates (elementary math) and some conceptual stuff. Also, take econ 1bb3 if you want to do the 15% assignment based from APLIA. People including me from last few years who took this course have average above 85 on assignments. there are two midterms for this course weight 20 and 25 % so if you get one midterm is higher than another midterm it will breakdown as 25% and the other worth 20. Final exam is easy as long as you study the book and practice the study guide. hope that helps
