Is the only new thing about Econ 2G03 is using calculus to solve all the problems? And do profs expect you to know all the proofs, or just apply the calculus? |
2G03 is producer theory, so it's much more math intensive than what you see in 1B03... It's basically economic applications for businesses: optimization, and then perfect competition/monopoly practices except with more math. Take it with Holmes, she is the easiest and the best if you're not a math person. I personally found 2H03 much easier, but then I found 1BB3 much easier than 1B03.

Is 2D03 math questions, too? I heard it is a lot of theory, not quantitative.

Mostly theory in 2D03, iirc the math is pretty much limited to calculating consumer surplus, producer surplus, deadweight loss, etc

I think I just didn't like the prof for 1BB3..the material was easy enough to absorb.This thread has a lot of useful information for second year Econ courses, so thank you to everyone who contributed to it. |

Hi,
Does Holmes still give out those bonus marks in the year when she's teaching Term 2? Because I know she gives a lot of bonus marks in the summer, but what about in Term 2 when another prof is teaching the same course? |

There was a thread I recently read and someone did state that she did indeed give a 10% bonus for the exam and a few other things. |
