I took this class online, although I feel like the format shouldn't be that different on-ground:

Class Grade - 20% Lab, 20% Midterm 1, 20% Midterm 2, and 40% Final Exam. The labs are all excel-intensive labs that elaborate on some of the harder and most important concepts taught in class. Personally I really enjoyed all the labs, since even though they all took quite some time to complete, they were all really useful in terms of actual application of concepts learned in class. The labs are also group-based as well (with up to 4 people in a group) and graded mostly on your solution process and not actual accuracy, so if you get good group members (I fortunately did) and try your best on each one of the labs to show your calculation process, you can definitely get 100% even if some of your numbers are off.

The exams are all super fair and straight-forward; just like a previous review suggested, as long as you do ALL of the homework questions (highlighted AND unhighlighted), you're good on the exams. My TA Julian was also absolutely amazing - he provides his own set of practice problems that are very similar to the textbook problems and go over them in discussions, so you basically get extra practice before each exam. The textbook isn't required, however I found it pretty useful as a quick read before the exams to review all the topics.

Finally, Professor Convery is one of the nicest professors I've ever had - he replies to emails almost always within half a day of sending them, and I always felt more than welcome to come to his office hours and ask for help or just to chat. Definitely would take him again for any Econ class!

This class was amazing! Convery is super nice and friendly and really looks out for his students, especially if you put in some effort. Pretty easy grader as well.

I liked this class. Easy, straightforward tests and relatively interesting lectures made me really enjoy this class. Convery seems really interested in the material and wants all students to do well. Homework counted as 20% and the midterms/final collectively counted as 80% of the grade.

This was one of the worst econ classes I've taken at UCLA, not only does the professor just really not explain anything but he doesnt provide accurate study materials or really support you much throughout. The midterm was reasonable (30%) but the final was obscenely hard and the curve that he applied was not transparent at all, I know of several people who found their grade boosted a significant amount from the curve and others who had no change from their raw score. I don't really understand why the course was set up the way it was but there was really no clear learning trajectory, the professor really just read off pre-written notes (some of which were from previous quarters so he doesn't really update materials) and just generally it was not great. Highly recommend NOT taking 103 with this professor if you can!

Great professor. He is so nice. His lecture is straightforward, and his exams are reasonable. He allows to take a one page notes to exam so that you don't need to memorize all the complicated formulas. He also concern about students, will always listen to students and take their suggestions. Take him and won't be regret

The class was pretty easy and straightforward. The professor is good but just a very boring lecturer especially with being on zoom. When I took it all tests were online and they were pretty easy.

Econ is just a dry subject, so I can't really blame Convery for this class being terrible--I don't really know how you can teach Econ with pizzazz or make it seem engaging and fascinating. Convery is a very nice guy and more than willing to help you--he met with me outside of class, always emailed me back, and hooked me up with a tutor. But yeah--I had to get a tutor for this class, because I was doing that badly.
The lectures are dry and dull, and all of his slides go up online so you don't really have to go to class anyway. I think I would have done better if I had just worked out of the textbook and done example problems from there, because his slides don't really help you learn how to do the mathematical problems you later see on his exams. Convery is great about providing practice problems--he puts up problem sets for every chapter that is covered, as well as provides sample midterms and finals for you to work on (all with answers included). He holds review sessions before each test--which were of no use to me, but maybe some people got more out of them. It's really not Convery that makes this class bad--econ just sucks tbh.
Anyway, class is 25% midterm 1, 25% midterm 2, 50% final. He curves the class at the end of the quarter, so here's to hoping I end up on the right side of the curve because I could go one way or another. If possible, I would recommend you check out one of Convery's lectures and one of Sproul's and then decide whose class to take depending on who seems more engaging. I wish I had done that, maybe Sproul's style would have worked better for me.

Class is honestly not that hard, but the exams are super short and worth a lot of your grades. If you miss a couple questions on the midterm, you automatically cannot get an A. Midterm was 45%, final was 45%. Average on midterm was 18/20, 29/33 on final. So basically each question is worth 1%-2% of your total grade. I don't believe there was a curve because of how high the average was. Homework is very easy, just basic Excel and PowerPoint, graded on completion.

Good class if your interested in learning more about finance. Def one of the more business applicable classes UCLA biz econ has to offer. Good prof and pretty chill tests. Def one of the best 106 requirements.

I really enjoyed taking this class! Professor Convery is very knowledgeable about the course material and ties it to real life examples as well. He records his lectures which is such a blessing. He's approachable and kind during office hours as well!
