Summary

1 / 7

Past student reviews · Matteo Camboni

The material was difficult with really tough exams, but a heavy curve was applied so exam weight didn't cause excessive stress. Students noted there were few practice questions available for the non-standard tests.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Apply economic models to understand household and firm behavior and market outcomes.

  • Specify and adapt microeconomic models to analyze economic environments.

  • Solve economic decision problems using tools of mathematical optimization.

  • Understand the role of these models as the foundation for more advanced analysis.

About this comparison

1316 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
