Econ 1B03 or Enviro Sci 1A03??
I am considering to take either environmental science 1A03 or Economics 1B03 as one of my electives for this term. If anyone could give me any insight into either of these two courses based on level of difficulty, workload, level of interst, I wuold greatly appreciate it.

Enviro sci 1a03 is by far the most boring class in existence. And covers ALOT of material.

If you are looking for a bird course, don't take Envir Sc 1AO3. There are alot of labs. Not overly difficult but you do have to put time into completing them. Attending class and labs are important, otherwise the assignments will be beyond confusing.

I loved this course. So much so that I switched programs. Like Phil said. It's all about preferences.
I have seen so many horribly done Envir Sc 1AO3 assignments, if you aren't going to try, don't take the course.

Econ 1Bo3 really isnt all that bad of a course. If you do take it be careful for the final exam. Its not joke. Actually it was really hard since she told us the wrong things to focus on and because of that it screwed a lot of people over. She might be chainging the tests and quizzes since she caught people cheating so it might not be as easy as before.
