has anyone taken Microeconomic Theory class

[JoPh]

just wondering since i am taking it next semester. look for some input on what the class is about and the difficulty of the material. thanks.

I took one once at UNC. I found it to be incredibly unintuitive compared to Macro. I strongly disliked it and preferred macroeconomic theory.

 

[todpod]

It really wasn't that difficult. You talk about stuff like monopoly power and perfect compition and stuff like that. The biggest problems I have seen is that econ profs are mind numbing boring and its hard to stay awake.

 

[JoPh]

yeah econ isnt very stimulating. i need to take the class for my econ minor. so i have to sit threw them.

 

[PunDogg]

Its not that bad, my prof, gave us his notes, so would just study that, if we even studied hehe. But even then the class isn't hard.

so if im able to do macro and mirco econ fine, i should be fine in this theory class?

 

[Turkey22]

I had an honors one freshman year. I thought I was getting it fine until I started to get the assignments back with no credit (more than half the class got em that way). Prolly depends on your prof (I dropped it soon after). Then again I had a bad habit at the time of missing a few classes...

 

[dquan97]

I thought it was an interesting class, then again, I like econ...

 

[MichaelD]

Yeah, but it was just a small change course.


Get it? SMALL (Micro) CHANGE (Economics/money)

Ahahaha! I crack me up!

it's super easy, and it's fun.

I think that depends on your school. Personally, I enjoyed Macro economics a lot more than micro. I am signed up for Macroeconomic Theroy next quarter.... should be interesting.

I took this class 2 semester ago. I got the fat guy, forgot his name. Oh yeah, I think it's Richard Ashley.
But if you have Lutz, don't take her class. She's a B$tch, but her materials are alright.

I've notice your Major is MGT,

you only need Econ 2005 and 2006. The theory class are 3104 and 3204.
2005 and 2006 should be easy.

if you know calculus you will find micro econ VERY annoying. the way they describe all the curves and stuff. they use simplified and economicsized terms instead of the standard math terms.

but once you get past that it's not bad. Micro is more math oriented and macro is more theory oriented.

it will mostly be about price points, supply and demand etc and about diminishing returns etc.

Edit

i reread your title.

sorry your talking about the micro econ theory 300 level class and not the general class. oops.

oh well, almost everything i originally posted still applies.

At VA Tech, it's not a 3xx level, it's 3xxx.

Yeah, we're cool like that.

If you have to buy the book you should'nt be in college.
