This was the first time I learned any economics and I thought the subject was interesting. The economics analysis essays took me a lot of time and frustrated me. I went line by line translating my news article's information to microeconomics analysis (course content). I went to office hours, and consulted OWRC tutors. Both essays took me a while. However, I felt I not only learned a lot, but also helped myself retain information through the process of writing the essays. I maybe could have used a better method of writing them though. (I mention the essays because Professor Jacobs assigns these for both ECON 200 and ECON 201.) Workload wise, I am not sure about the actual workload because I have some time management troubles. I turned in multiple late assignments for the other classes I...read more
Usefulness: I understand why this is taught because it helps you to understand the theory of how businesses, markets, and economies (more later on in macroeconomics) work.

Vinod is a great instructor! He really cares about his students and gives good feedback on homeworks! He is also very accessible outside of classroom.
Whenever you have questions during a lecture, raise your hand and ask. He takes participation as part of the grade so you will be benefited as well. Definitly go to his office hour!

Fine class, the material is tangible and sometimes interesting but less applicable than macro. The challenge is getting ahead of the curve here; doing well is manageable but getting above the 2.9-3.1 mark requires extra effort.
Do all the practice problems you can, and attend office hours to get specific help on questions you have!

Teacher was not great at lectures and was difficult to understand. Content and tests were extremely easy. I'm not an econ major so I didn't find the content interesting at all.

Overall it's an ok class to take. The material is not boring and an A is doable provided you put in the effort. The midterms can be a bit difficult since it’s so dense in so little time but somewhat doable. There’s a lot of readings too but that goes for most classes at UW tbh.
