So check it. Im a second semester freshman, who went from a 2.5 first semester to a 4.0 last semester( spring 09 ) and am now taking intersession Econ and Psych.. The psych class is cake but the econ class...

The professor seemed SUPER chill the first day of class, he said it was easy, we could ask questions and so on.. ( that was the last day to drop without a 'W' by the way.) and now.. you cannot ask questions or else he acts like your the ******ed kid in class, his tests are 100% diffent from what he lectures. I dont know what to do.. Im stressed out of my mind..

What should I do? I cant learn ALL of Macroeconomics in a 15 day course... Its insane.
Can anyone think of good questions to ask an econ professor?



I effing hate this man...
EDIT: not that it matters but I took a year off after higheschool ( class of 07)

Economics tends to be notoriously hard anywhere you go, and yet every professor seems to think it is easy. Just study hard. Asking "good questions" isn't going to get you good grades...

I think the real question is what would possess you to take a 15 day Econ course, for what I assume is full credit...

Econ in 15 days 😱
the pace must be crazy

you don't want to be the ******ed kid in the class!

this reminds me of this one time in my undergrad when i was waiting for a prof during office hours to ask a couple of questions, and this other guy asked me if he could have some of my questions to ask because he was seeking a letter of rec... I was so taken aback that I just stared at him and he left w/o going into the office

Honestly, if my GPA is in question, I don't mind being the ******ed kid in class. Hell, I'm paying him so he should be answering the questions I ask. And besides, if he really does treat you like the ******ed kid, he must also explain your questions to you the way he would explain a ******. So since you are not ******ed, you should have an edge here 🙂

Also, if you ask around your classmates, I'm sure they'll all agree that the questions you asked helped them a lot.

Does he do economic research of any kind?
My friend is buddies with her econ prof because she was interested in his research. If he researches anything that you guys need to know for lecture, start off talking with him about it outside of class. Then bring in homework problems, and questions about theories during office hours. Hopefully you'll understand better 🙂

and oh, just to add, by persistently asking questions, you will be highly regarded by your professor over the rest of the students. Regardless of how much the professor is an a-hole they all like to see that.

Yea you guys are right.
I just need to stop b*tching about it, he grades on a curve. Ill get it down...

Holy crap. That must be the weirdest premed story I know of. I think even sabotage by adding extra 18 molar nitric acid into another person's experiment is not as bad. What are medschools doing to students! Next things you know someone is going to ask you to hold it for you in the bathroom so he can borrow your anatomy notes.

At least he knows there isn't any detergent contamination in there .

Also, OP, I've seen that attitude everywhere from Professors for Organic Chemistry (Made me feel stupid until he screwed up a mechanism - So easy, right?) to Professors for Intro to Mental ******ation. It sucks, but if it's curved things might work out. Head up - go to office hours and suck up.
