Realistic of what to expect in upper-year economic courses? People say that micro/macro are easy courses, but do these two courses represent what economics really is?

Good question,

I've been wondering the same thing as I plan to minor in Business. :o

Economics is not business. It's a social science. Just so you know.

First year economics are pretty joke courses. The exam/midterm questions are pretty much the same in all years and repeated in practice midterms.

Business Informatics?

Well, here's what economics really is: mathematics. Sorry Adelle.

(Of course, this isn't entirely true. There's nonmathematical theoretical economics out there...but you should be ready to see a bit of math, particularly game theory)

as far as I'm concerned, upper year econ courses involve much more mathematics like Mahratta said. some light proofs maybe? I'll be taking some upper year econs probably next year

Business Informatics is a commerce/comp sci. degree, but that could have been what he meant. I'm actually interested in this too, I'm doing Business Informatics next year.

You don't need upper year Econs to minor in Business.

Should you take first year econ

How is the math in Econ 1BO3?
