ECON 3110

One of the more difficult economics classes, it is very difficult to do well on any of the exams, but effort is rewarded by a generous curve at the end of the course. Here you will learn what you need to know about microeconomics.

Rough, rough class, but I learned an immense amount of information! I preferred the mathematical foundation as opposed to the 301 conceptual focus. I would recommend this class if you have a strong math background and prefer math over concepts.

Prof. Engers is wonderful! Skip 301 and learn some real microeconomics; you'll be better off in upper-level electives. Engers makes you work, though, so be prepared. Tests can be very hard, but the curve isn't bad at all. This class is not really very mathematical either, despite the title; basic differential calculus is all you need. Highly recommended!

While the only mathematical knowledge that is strictly necessary to succeed in this class is Calc I ability to take basic derivatives, a knowledge of Calc III multivariate calculus will make you much more comfortable with Enger's lectures and some of the material. It is a difficult class, but if you devote time to it, it will be rewarding in terms of a greater bredth and depth of knowledge.

If you have a sound mathematical background and want to be in a competitive group of people interested in economics, this may be a very good class for you. Talk to Mr. Engers and take the aptitude test. Give it a shot. You will learn so much about microeconomics in this course and Mr. Engers is so interesting. Especially talk to him after class about your general interests in subject so of economics.

Good class, you'll learn a lot. Material is really difficult but there is a generous curve at the end. Go to class, pay attention, do the reading if you do'nt understand the material and you'll be fine.

I?m glad I took this class. I guess it's a fair big harder than 301 (which is hard anyway?), but I don't know how anyone would know that. I hadn't taken calc since high school, and didn't do particularly well in it then, and I didn't have any trouble with the math. Engers is a really really smart and a good lecturer. The tests were very difficult but theres a huge curve.

Great Class, more work than 301, but a good grade distribution. It gets you into great shape for taking econometrics or game theory.

One of the most amazing and enthusiastic professors I have ever had. If you want to really learn microeconomics, take this class.

kind of hard deciding between 311 and 301 because no one can directly compare the two. only take this if you really like math - although the math itself is pretty much differentiation, he explains a lot of the concepts via theoretical math proofs, which i didnt find helpful, applicable, interesting, or easy to understand (...left a lot of lectures having learned very little). the tests and weekly homework/book do not really correlate that much. a lot of really really smart people take this class, so even though the grade distribution is good, its like that for a reason.
