I did not really like the course. I found it much harder than 221. The material is not very useful for economics, unless you are going to grad school or going into research. I would not recommend it for non-econ majors.

Econ 321 Final, Emma - Practice exams? 0 points, 1 comment
u/RazeHell_: “Usually Emma does give out practice exams, but has chosen not to this term. I'm wondering if anyone has any sample final exams from previous terms when they took a class with Emma and are willing to share with me and other class mates! Thanks ya'll!”
u/hippiechan: “First of all... who's Emma? Second, it's ECON 321, they basically give you the answers for that class. If you can't pass this course, you sure as shit aren't going to pass 421.”
