how difficult did you find it?
A+
this is columbia, but still good to know: http://www.culpa.info/courses/5061
from that site: "In econometrics, you learn how to do linear regressions, i.e. quantitatively determining how one or more independent variables correlates with a dependent variable. Most of the class is the math behind it.
Its a hard class, and it sucks. In lecture I felt like I was sitting in a dark room, and there were only glimmers of light. I habitually became infuriated when working on problem sets and realized that Prof. Von Wachter had not covered the material yet. I found the lectures somewhat muddled, the textbook only marginally better. The TA didnt know a thing either. This was by far the worst class I have taken in my econ major."
i got an A at wharton though
lol if all you learn about is linear regressions then you must have taken the watered down kiddie version of big boy econometrics.
wait till you get to learn about multivariate GARCH models and Markov switching models...then you can complain.
My professor was a d**khead (I had my small measure of revenge on ratemyprofessors), I managed a B+, but felt I learned nothing.
A
withdrawl fail
B, freakishly difficult and boring.
Its not styles p it's jadakiss
If it isn't required for your major, I wouldn't even bother taking it. Really, what's the point?
A
But I was highly annoyed by the course and its content...absolutely in no way applicable to anything I do on the job.
A
It's not really relevant for much unless you want a Ph.D. in Economics.
Dumb class, nobody cares if you all got A's...
I remember the people who had the hardest time in it were econ majors and the best being stats/math majors
highest mark out of a class of 45 people... and i got like what would be equivalent to a B+... 30% of class failed, really depends on the teacher, if he is trying to be a jerk he can really make your life a living hell. if you dont have to take it then DONT. i barely use anything i saw in that class, just take an advanced calculus based stat class and you will be golden
I thought all econ majors need to take it
I majored in Econ, and I didn't take it. Had to take an applied statistical analysis class, though.
B in Econometrics I & Multivariate Stat and B+in Time Series. Could do better if I took the prerequisites.
B+
B+ with an 89.9 avg. Not getting an A- in that class will haunt me the rest of my life.
B+
Thought it was the one of the most useful classes I took in school. I find it extremely bizarre for an econ major to not take this class as it is your only opportunity to "do economics". I have used it multiple times at work (corp finance) and it always impresses people.
A-
A. Only class I ever went to see the tutor for regularly. Hard but cool. Stata is pretty dope. Professor was a little Chinaman who would do the Gangham Style dance before exams.
