I start an "Intermediate Microeconimcs" class 2maro

It's not hard in the sense that you can't pass the tests. The concepts that branch off from the class can get very complicated. Don't fvck around in this course (unless you're going to a cupcake college)
 
Intermediate microeconomics was the easiest for me because it was mostly math. 🙂

Shift a few curves around, take a few differentials, find minimum points, basic calculus. Hehehe.

Loved it when the other kids in class couldn't even find the slope of a straight line, and the prof was already moving into partial differentials. Of course, I did this after I had already completed Engineering Math... 🙂
 
Is it alot harder than intro micro? I'm doing a mino in econ so I hope this doens't blow up in my face.

College = Kansas state

This is my hope. I know I have more math knowledge than prolly any student in that class being an engie major.

It's easier if you did well in intro.
 
I enjoyed the intro classes more. I hated Intermediate mAcro. I heard Intermediate micro is easier. I took too much econ for an engineering major =/.

A, but it seemed weird. Kinda too easy. I found Macro a bit tougher.

Oh, and a B in the calc 2 course.

You should be okay.

However, as a warning: if you plan on majoring in economics, learn the material and learn it well, do the homework, do the reading, and go to class. You'll be expected to understand this material in-depth in higher-level economics courses, and if you have to spend time catching up later you're going to waste a LOT of time.

<--- finishing his Bachelor of Science Econ a few months ago.
 
Just wondering, for the minor i need the 2 intro econ class, the 2 intermdiate classes and 2 others.

What should the 2 others be?

Money and banking?

I focused on three areas in my undergrad: information economics (how people use information to make decisions, game theory, etc), finance, and property rights. I loved all three areas, and I guess my recommendation depends on what else you're studying.

You can learn game theory basics on your own, if you're truly interested. Finance isn't quite so easy, but if you have a background in finance or accounting, an economics-based view of finance would be redundant. That leaves property rights. I'd go for that, if I were only doing a minor.
 
It won't be that hard. The math still consists of shifting curves, etc. Calculus is maybe needed on a couple of topics. Take something like Money and Banking, Labor Economics, or International Trade.
 
no, economics is a joke. i barely did any of the readings and just did the problem sets. took the exams and all went well 🙂
