I just had my Intermediate Microeconomics (eco 111) long test today. Frankly I have no idea if I did good or bad but the test did seem to be easier than I expected (I spent an evening/morning memorising formulas about soup and bread that I wasn’t going to use anyway).

I understand the practicality and the idea of economics but I really have no idea why does it have to be taught so impractically that I have to get the derivative of some formula filled with variables I’ve never seen before just to get a slope of a tangent line.

Its irritating cause my class is made up of management majors (roughly around 98%) and no matter what people believe we aren’t a math intensive course (we do some basic arithmatic in accounting and a little basic algebra in stat but we are not math majors… ). Its a little alarming when you see the basic economics (eco 102) you had that relied mostly on graphs be explains in Xs and Ys.

Errr well all the economics I need is this. Coke is my summer substitute for water… when there’s not enough water I go to coke.
