I need one more elective for next semester (my final one)... can someone recommend an easy course that doesn't require (too) much work? My friend told me Eng 104 greek mythology was the best class he ever took but unfortunately I'm still on the waitlist and it doesn't seem like I will get in... |
^Eng 104 is greek mythology? I took 104 a few semesters ago and it was something else I believe |

A sample concept would be, "firm x wants to max profits or minimize costs- for instance with a production function like this: (x1^.5,x2^.5) based on some constraint. find optimal output/price". Well you recall that firms in competitive equilibrium set MC= min AVC (if you're given AVC, if not you should figure it out.) if AVC is not given you use marginal revenue, or you use the budget constraint- basically go through all your rules/theories in your head until you figure out a method to find it. So that's the theory part. Then the actual math part with the calculation. Basically you can no longer get away with knowing just theory...you must know why the concepts act like they do and you must solve them mathematically based on your theory knowledge. Econ I think is easier to get into, but way harder to stay in before dropping out, whereas business is harder to get into, but easier to maintain. If you find econ 301 hard and bomb it and you can't get into business, it might be an option to go sciences or other arts fields; it only gets harder from here. Check out the sample exams for Econ331 taught by Bertille Antoine. |

Fucking hell why the hell does my prof need to go into detail so much in the lecture slides if half this crap isn't even going to be on the exam .. stressing me out for no reason -.- .... haha13 hows ling treating you? Did my notes help at all? I made some for first MT as well if you want them. |
@Epicbeardman it sounds similar to what went down in bus 254 (managerial economics). Did you by any chance take that course? |

As for econ 103, I'm planning to retake later in another semester, furthest away from now if possible. Quote:
Hopefully i make it, right now my strategy is to *take as many courses as i can for the* language part of my two division courses, whatever that will boost my mark allowing SOME margin of errors. |
Honestly your best bet is to take another math (eg 154, 150, 151) so you don't take up one of the retakes. |

Failed, had to retake. Tips? Don't take it. It's only necessary for honors or grad students. |

[note: Sorry, bus 207 is managerial economics (not bus 254 which is managerial accounting)] |

I found 302 better than 301. Maybe I was better prepared for it than the fist-fest that was 301. Oh and BUEC 333.... LOL I'm retaking it next semester. Bakasam maybe I'll see you around. Quote:

Thanks for the insight, looks like I have a lot of prepping for next term. |

Well just know the follow derivative rules (a quick google search will help you) differentiating with respect to certain variables, chain rule, exponent rule and possibly Log rule. Those are all you really need and the course should provide the rest of the tools. Maybe also get a 400lvl student to quickly show you the Lagrangian setup for maximization problems. It probably makes no sense now, but knowing that rule will help you a TON. it's not covered in 301, and I learned it in 331, however it's like the ultimate short cut. If you want to put in the work, by all means take 331, but you HAVE to put in the work. If you get a B+ or higher in 331, you can handle any math that econ will throw at you for the rest of your SFU undergrad career. 331 is also a 5credit course and if you ace that not only do you become an econ math wiz, but you get a huge boost to your GPA. It also looks good for grad schools if you ace it. They just assume that the Lagrange method is too complicated or something for 301 (at least for my 301)...if you know how to set up the Langrangian, you can do any problem in 301. Good job on choosing on the econ major, I was getting tired of reading posts by perspective B.A students, lol. |
lol REM 100 Final tmr, not ready at all and don't know shit :fuckthatshit: |
Quote:
lol at freshmen and their 100 level course. :fuckthatshit: |
reading what you guys are writing is making me want to drop out of school |
Don't take 331 unless you know MATH well. I know a ton of honors students taking it and they are having a tough time. |
