I haven't taken micro or macro econ and I'm planning taking only one of them either next year or 4th year. Which did you guys find more interesting and easy?

From what ive heard, Micro is easier. I took is first year, and yes, it was straightforward.. read the slides and your fine. She also posts podcasts.

On that note, does anyone have previous tests from Macro?

Econ 1B03 & 1BB3. My third year elective, I took in the summer of first. Econ 2I03.

Micro is definitely easier than macro. By a long shot.

Ya most tell me Micro is easiest and looks like I'll be taking that. I was thinking of taking it term 2 of this summer just to lighten 4th year up a bit. How did you find taking econ in the summer was it manageable or were you bogged down trying to keep up with it?

Hmm. I may do the same.

Its actually pretty light. No tutorials. Theres online assignments, but their okay.

Is it too late to register for summer school Term 2?

@ Colin... I found macro to be much more interesting and useful than micro. I didn't particularly like micro, 'cause it was a lot of memorizing of useless things and I really didn't have time for it. Still got a good mark, can't compare it to macro 'cause they haven't told us our marks yet grrr...

No, but you have to pay the day you register. I assume that there is either no late fee, or a couple days before one. Also, interest at the end of the month.

Ah I see. I may take Macro-econ 2nd term of summer, if not, then probably 2nd term next year. Most people liked the prof, and she posts short podcasts, so thats always a plus
