Econ 101

I took Econ 101 this semester hoping that it would be an easy class, but that’s definitely not the case. Econ is one of my most difficult classes this semester. I have the class on MWF and then recitation on Thursdays. In addition to having class four days of the week, we have online assignments due every Tuesday and Thursday. Furthermore, we have a quiz every Friday. This class is so time consuming. It wouldn’t be as bad only if the teacher covered course material during the class, but usually he’s just going off topic a lot. He’s an awesome teacher. The lectures are never boring, because he’s always interacting with the students. However, I never really feel that I’m learning anything that is covered on the quiz. So, basically I have to read the chapters on my own time to learn the course material. I just feel like I have to cram all the studying in for the quiz on Thursday nights, which is probably not a good idea. The problem is that I never really know what’s going to be on the quiz until I attend recitation, which only gives me one night to study for the quiz. I guess I just need to learn how to manage my time wisely. Maybe, I could get started early and study for the quiz during the weekend and then just review the night before.
