ECON 3110

Engers is probably my favorite professor at UVA so far. He really knows how to teach and seems to enjoy his job. This class is hard and you heve to either be very smart, or be willing to to spend a lot of time working if you want an A. On the flip side, Engers gives very few low grades so it's herd to do badly.

This class is by far a better alternative to 301. The grades are higher as long as you keep up with the work. If you plan to major in econ, this class prepares you very well for any class you will see down the line.

As it is obvious, the grade distribution is biased because the smart students self-segregate themselves into this harder course. 90% of the students in this course would probably get an A in ECON 301. But if you are right in the average of the class, A- is guaranteed. The difficulty of the course is not too high as long as you have solid backgrounds in micro economics and math. The tests are extremely difficult (in a tricky sense) and do not reflect the materials covered in homework. Homework average is probably about 90% compared to 60% test average. Prof. Engers is very knowledgeable and is well prepared but I find his lectures dry and he is hard to approach. TA is excellent and very helpful. Bottom line, I would recommend this course only if you are an A average student, would rather take mathematical version than the regular econ 301, and are looking for a challenge.

Pretty challenging class, but in the end he rewards you for how much work with a decent grade.

Homework is completely independent of lecture. Tests aren't though. Pay attention and don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't get a difficult concept; chances are it will be on the test.

Engers is very enthusiastic, very engaging and in depth when lecturing. The material in this course is very difficult and you learn a lot everyday but Engers does pretty well explaining the concepts in his lectures. I definitely recommend this course to any econ majors. If you are a math major, you will do very well in this course, for others it will be a little more difficult to do well.

Engers lectures at a pretty high level, and you have to pay close attention if you don't want to lose him. The HW sets are easy, but they don't really help with the tests. However, even if you do average on the midterm and final (around 60%), you'll get an A-, which is very generous.

great alternative to intermediate micro, engers is hilarious.

Difficult class with difficult topics, but Engers ensures that everyone will get a B or higher. Little work most of the semester, except for the Midterm and Final, which are killers.

Very boring class. Professor Enger is very knowleagble but his lectures are very boring and difficult to understand. The midterm and final are difficult and it takes a long time to study since during lectures most of the material is difficult to understand. The only reason i took this class was because of the curve.
