This class was extremely interesting. I would recommend taking this class to anyone interesting in consulting and/or HR or even just game theory.
This is the first class I've taken at UCLA that adequately balances theory and practice. We had problem sets and models, just like any Econ class. But we also worked on cases and had case discussions with guest lecturers where we could apply the theories we learned in class. The cases were pretty easy. As long as you're thorough, you should get 100% on them. Participation in the discussions also counts towards your final grade. You only have to speak 4 times all quarter to get all the participation points. The problem sets, however, were extremely challenging. The professor always encouraged us to work in groups for the homework because of that. Thankfully, we usually were able to figure out the right answer in the end.
The final wasn't too difficult. It was a pretty unique circumstance for us: because of Ms. Rona, we had to take the final remotely and it was open book. It wasn't problem set level difficulty, so I didn't find it challenging at all.
Overall, I would recommend this class! I'm just Econ and people wondered why I was taking a 106, but this class is really not that hard and it's interesting!
I took this class almost two years ago and it was great back then and I can say that it's gotten even better since then. (In the sense that I've come to realize good teachers are hard to find at a research college.) It's tough to find a better professor than Moritz. He taught a pretty mathematical subject really well and did it with examples that were engaging. There were homework assignments and a final team presentation where we had to apply game theory to a real world event.
I also remember that in the lab sections each of us sat in front of a computer and played games with others in the same room! Then Moritz would analyze the results with us in the subsequent lab lectures. Very memorable.
The content of the class is quite similar to Econ 101, so keep that in mind. Moritz is a solid lecturer, although the lectures will have occasional portions that are dull. The most interesting part of the class were the case studies and the case discussions where guest speakers would discuss the case. The homeworks and the final are definitely not easy, but they aren't terrible. While this class requires some work and studying, the course and content are quite interesting once they make sense, so would definitely recommend.
