ECON 3020

This class was very easy. I had heard terrible things about 302 but I found it incredibly easy. I think it may have just been the teacher. The hw is graded on effort and the tests take 30 minutes to ace.

All his assignments were based on effort. As long as you went to class, i think you should be fine. I stopped going to class after the first midterm and totally failed everything after that. He does not have online slides, so missing class=fail.

Like most professors in the dept. Mukoyama uses the dutch grading system, so study up for the final and it can determine 90% of your grade. Otherwise he teaches to the book and tests you on it. What more do you want?

Literally the easiest class at UVa. Lectures are worthless and the tests are EXACTLY the same as the homeworks(which are graded for completion).

This class is awful but I would recommend Toshi. Although the material is very dry and pretty difficult, he makes the midterm not too difficult and homework is graded on effort. Overall I'd say the class is easier than 3010 but still hard.

Mukoyama is an awful, boring lecturer. The material is very dry. I had high expectations for this class after having taken ECON 301, and Mukoyama totally failed at reaching those expectations for me.

The final exam is considerably harder than the midterm. This class also includes plenty of math.

This is probably the best option out there for taking Econ 302. Mukoyama is not a very interesting lecturer, but if you take good notes and do the homework You should be okay. The homeworks are easy, and if you do miss a lecture or two you can find the exact topic in the textbook (probably more clearly explained than when Mukoyama teaches it). Midterm and Final make up 90% of your grade, and the dutch knockout is in effect. Study your homeworks well for both and you should be okay.

Understand lecture notes (follow along during class and copy down everything he writes on board) and homework (go to discussions if you don't understand the answer key posted online) and you will do fine on the midterm and final. There are alot more math questions on the final, but you don't really need to solve for anything; make sure you understand the proof for each equation and how everything is derived and the math questions will be a breeze.

Don't really have to read the book, but definitely attend lecture and take good notes. Review your notes, and understand them fully. Going to discussion helps too if you did not understand how to do some part of the homework problem set
