Hi everyone, I'm planning to take ECON 1B03 and 1BB3 this summer. Does anyone know how the profs are like whether they are difficult or easy? How did everyone who took them during the school term find it?

There's plenty of threads about both of these courses. Try utilizing the search feature and go through threads pertaining to either or both courses.

Agreed! Tons of helpful posts around. Brief summary is that they are both very straightforward courses and should be no problem during the summer term.

Take Holmes for Micro and O'Shaughnessy for Macro if you want the core McMaster experience.

Looks like O'Shaughnessy isn't teaching it in the summer.
Definitely take Holmes though. For the amount of effort I've put into her course, I certainly don't deserve the marks I'm getting. She is very straight forward, and it isn't necessary to use the textbook.
Just a quick google search and it shows Alexandra Gajic is teaching Macro. She is the current IA for both econ classes and has taught a few when profs are absent. She seems pretty good overall! (http://www.macinsiders.com/showthrea...mer-61219.html)
