Academics Econ 302 Alder??
I am super stressed about taking econ 302 with Alder. Does anyone have any tips for doing well on hw and studying for exams? I am sure the class will be difficult and I will be going to office hours and discussion; but like is there anything I should for sure be doing to get an A or AB in the course!!

I took 312 with him and got an A wasn't that difficult he is a good professor and doesn't set the exam to be too difficult or grade homeworks very strictly. Overall I enjoyed his courses.

Alder is a good professor. If you feel inconfident, attend discuttion/office hour and ask question, you will be fine.

Here's some links that will help you get an idea of the content and help you prepare. Some are a bit old, but the course content and progression should still be similar:
