Going to other ECON 1BB3 lectures...
I have ECON 1BB3 this semester with 3 classes a week at 9:30. There is another class from 7-10 in the evening. Will I be fine if I just go to this 3 hour class? The content is 100% the same, correct?
As far as I know, the prof is the same and iClickers are not for marks, so I should be fine. I just want to check here to make sure in case I am missing something.
Thanks!

I would watch out as you may have in class quizzes/tests... at least make sure you keep up with someone who goes to that class, I would say.

no because professors arent allowed to make aplia mandatory anymore since it requires students to pay an additional fee.

Hmm.. I'm debating whether I should spend the $70 for APLIA or not.. it comes with the electronic version of the textbook which I need anyways, plus it could be helpful with the practice quizzes and all.. any advice anyone?

No APLIA whatsoever.
20% / 30% midterms. 50% final exam.
For those who have taken the course before.. is it necessary to buy the textbook to 12 this course? I'd rather not buy it and then never use it considering this course is supposed to be easy. |

Textbook is useless for the most part. I found APLIA useful in getting a good mark though, would rather buy that than the book.
