...Jonathan V. Hall ’06, head teaching fellow for Economics 1011a: “Microeconomic Theory,” had a more negative take...
...world in this manner. Any student who is taking intermediate microeconomics needs to decide if he wants to take a class taught in English or in math. If the former, he is to take Economics 1010a, “Microeconomic Theory.” If the latter, Economics 1011a, “Microeconomic Theory.” Science theses should typically have math. Humanities theses typically should...
...Economics 1010a and its more mathematical sister-course, 1011a, boast a combined enrollment of 574 undergraduates this fall—a 21 percent rise from...
Economics 1011a engenders extreme feelings; it is either loved or hated. 1011a-ophiles are math-savvy students who understand complex formulas by intuition, can partially-differentiate anything, and love a good challenge. But if your multivariable calculus isn’t up to snuff (don’t worry about integrals–its all partial derivatives), if you don’t like looking at the world through equations, or if you aren’t ready to face impossibly difficult exams (even if they are curved to give most students a B+ or A-), stay away from 1011a...
...you’ve just finished 1011a, breathe a sigh of relief: 1011b is nowhere near as difficult (though most find it more sleep-inducing). Although it is still quite mathy—you aren’t through with partial derivatives just yet—the models, equations, problem sets and tests are more straightforward as you repeatedly encounter the same set ups and basic problems. For those not coming from 1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will...
