ECON 2070

I took this class in fall '24. I would not recommend it. Miller teaches the course as if for non-majors and as a result simplifies a lot of the math that makes economics so powerful for deriving conclusion about the world. In practicality, the limitations imposed to make the class feasible for non-majors are incredibly frustrating to work with, and you end up just memorizing how to do stuff like constrained optimization and differences-in-differences in a very suboptimal way if you know how to do those methods the usual way. If she teaches the 4000 level class, I recommend taking that one instead, as you will likely have an opportunity to do economics the usual way rather than the way she teaches it.
