Horrible. Teaches like a robot. Makes you code -- I'm tryna be a business major and work in finance, I don't need to code. Literally need two devices to proctor yourself, including respondus. Studying for the final right now and I'm gonna fail for sure
This class is a joke if you've taken AP Stats; I'm unsure how anyone else is expected to gain an understanding of all the material otherwise. A TI-84 is your ticket to freedom in this class. You won't be taught how to use it, but being able to do all the confidence intervals with the press of a button and quickly calculate distributions will make most of the exams free. The final was, shall I say, strange in comparison to the midterms, which were all quite straight-forward, but it wasn't as bad as everyone else made it seem. It's not like we don't have a textbook and a bunch of homework problems for extra practice, if you need it. Especially if you know how to use your calculator, it isn't that hard to do reasonably well in this class.
Easiest class I took at UCLA. Found out econ majors don't know any math.
I'm a double major in FAM and Econ and was forced to take this class. Easiest A I have gotten at UCLA. Not sure how everyone did so poorly on the tests. If you aren't doing well here is a thought...try to open the book and actually read it. It's amazing. Really incredible.
I studied with several econ majors who were having a hard time when they just actually refused to open the book and read it.
First midterm is the easiest, second is a bit harder, and final is a bit harder than that, but everything is very doable.
A typical economic class you would expect. 100% of the grading scheme is on the exam: 25-25-50 (two midterms and one final). Prof. Rojas was a good lecturer, in my opinion, but he was sometimes too slow. He did not finish the slides on the last chapter in my quarter, so you can tell that he was SUPER slow. But anyway, the exams were reasonable if you practice on MindTap and the practice exams. MindTap was such a clutch, so use that for the review. I have never taken AP Economics, but the topics were not too challenging to understand. I found the TA office hours extremely helpful, so ask them! After hearing all the bad things about econ classes, this was actually not a bad experience.
