Is Microeconomics or Macroeconomics a bigger waste of time? i.e. which one should I take?

take the night micro havent heard anything but easyness from it

Macro with Dr. Zhang was cake. Learned a bit from it, too.

Micro with Bryant was just plain annoying

Macro with mowry(i think thats who i had) was cake. The night micro class was also easy, i cant remember who i had though. I can find out if you want to know.

I took micro 6 years ago. All i learned was: all economic principles can be represented by a graph with a straight line. So, when in doubt... draw up some axes, and plot a straight line.

forgot his name but I had him, he wrote the book, and him and i guess a bunch of other econ teachers think it should be a weed out course. big egos

Micro with Bryant at night might be the easiest class I've ever had. It's suppose to be 2 hours and 50 minutes. So far we haven't stayed longer than an hour. Everyone does the homework in class the day that it's due while he is giving the answers. The class is a joke. So if you don't really care about learning and just need the credit this is the best route.

Micro with Eun Soo Park. Nice guy, fair. O yeah for Micro, several of the teachers don't like the book, they are required to make students purchase it so they authors get royalties, it is a poorly written book with 2.5" margins on each side to make it seem longer.

I had Micro with Park and we had to pay 30 bucks for an eBook PDF that we didn't use once. Easy class though

Macro with Mowery is the easiest class I've ever taken. I think I finished with around 110%. He told us exactly what was on the tests, and what to study. Had it as a night class, supposed to be for 3 hours, but I don't think we ever stayed past 7:15.

Our class used it only once.

Easy? Or totally pointless and stupid? I prefer the ladder. Think back, 99.9% of everything we did in that class can be summed up by the following statement.

-If availiable quantity decreases, and demand remains the same, prices increase, if demand decreases and the available quantity remains the same, prices decrease. One is a inverse relationship, the other a direct, supply side and consumer side.

Thank you for taking micro economics, that'll be $1500. Cash or Check?

Totally worthess, a study hall would have been more worth my time.

if you plan to deal with American fiscal policy or the national debt in any way, take Macro. If you plan to work at a business, take Micro.

Heh; Macro has parabolas that can shift on you *gasp*.

Though I can't speak for Micro, in Macro you'll learn how large economies work and some back-of-the-envelope modeling techniques for them. Most of it's common-sense -- I did learn some handy economic terminology, however.
