Review:
Straub shows some concern towards progress of his students. When we all failed the first quiz, he let us do a take-home quiz for extra credit. He can be very sarcastic at times which can rub people the wrong way, but generally does his best to reach out to students. He also emphasizes the fact that EC 11 really is the foundation of all upper-level economics courses, and that if you master this class you should do well in the 100-levels.

Workload:
Two term exams (one in the earlier part of the semester, another right before reading period), and one final examination. Tests are not that bad, but the grades were pretty ranged from F to A+ out of a class of 29 students.
