• The course had a lot of concepts to cover in the span of the semester. We had 3 exams( 2 midterms, and a final). If you keep up with the content, you should be fine but it is not a bird course, requires quite a bit of effort to understand the content. Took it during a co-op term and the course kept me busy.

• Very interesting course and not what I expected. A good balance between quantitative and qualitative methods of economics, and all the assignments and tests were very straightforward. The math is very easy, and you should do well as long as you took grade 12 calculus. Take the course with Predrag Rajsic if you can, absolutely amazing prof who is very engaging with the class and is passionate about his field.

• Not a bird course, need to put some effort.
  S26 had 3 online quizzes(5% each), 3 lab assignments(5% each), a midterm(25%) and a final(25%). The course content is pretty easy, but the computation part is somewhat messy, especially the aggregate demand part. If you attend the lec and do the lab assignment, you should be fine.
