for those who have taken econ 2G03 with holmes, how is the class in terms of difficulty (is it easy to 12?) and is there a lot of math involved?
Thanks

its not as easy as Econ 1B03. so forget about studying the day before for the midterm or exam from the her slides and acing them. There is definitely a lot more math involved. but if you do the work and study hard, its very possible to get a 10+ in the course.

The course is a lot harder then 1B03, but still easier than a lot of courses. The math is simple derivatives, but I found I had no problem finding the derivatives, but I took them of the wrong equation at the wrong time, so I didn't do as good as hoped.
Overall the average of the class is like a 8 or 9, so I am an exception :b

That's a high average considering an average course usually has a 6-7 average.

Hannah does a pretty good job with this course. I strongly reccomend not buying the textbook and getting extra help if you need it. Looking back, this is an easy course relative to what latter years were like, but there is a difficulty change from 1B03. This is the type of course lazy students get murdered in.

LOL, that class is a joke (hehe). I did not even understand the material, I just knew when I had to derive, when I had to plug things in - I basically memorized the mechanics of each question. If you do her slide examples a few times over, you will be good.
If your calculus skills are not good (it is rudimentary calc, btw), practice after your first week. once you have a good grasp for calculus, the class is SO EASY.
