The course had two exams and a final. It was useful material and was interesting, which would be relevant to students' knowledge of finance.

“Self-explanatory. I haven't met a single person doing either program, I've heard it's a small group but there's gotta be at least one person on here.”
u/yougotballsson: “What classes are you in? I know 3 (maybe 4) who are in the program and in Hon Econ.”
u/sevet: “I'm playing catch up with math courses right now, but the only econ course I'm taking this term is econ 332 (planning on doing a finance specialization)”
