  • Really dumb course and no point since you don't take econ after this anyways for SFM

  • This course is not heavily related to sustainability or environment, but it is a good introductory course in economics overall. The content before midterm (specifically the microeconomics part) was easy, but don't take this course too lightly as well since it gets harder and harder later, especially ecological economics and environmental economics. The assignments are worth a significant portion of the total grade (65%), so it's not a good idea to wait until last minute to study.
