SL Macroeconomics--I had no idea it would be this hard.

I just took Micro and Macro and these are by far the most tedious courses I've taken at SL. So many quizzes with countless repetitive questions - felt like I have to answer the same exact set of problems worded differently ten times in a row. Calculus 2 was less of a drag. It's not you.

I'm going through Micro and Macro at Study.com and they don't appear to be any less annoying. I'm tempted to switch to something else and come back to them later.

I tried SL, Study.com, and Saylor. Hated the subject, but I was able to get through it using Study.com.

Ha! I thought I was the only one drudging thru Macro @ SL! Quiz after quiz, same questions reworded like they're playing with some kind of black sorcery to confuse you and second guess yourself! LOL I'm so excited to see what Micro will hold for me. *sarcasm* IMO this course is worse than any Shmoop course!

I took Micro a long time ago, but I don't remember it being anywhere near as bad as Macro.

I took Micro a long time ago, but I don't remember it being anywhere near as bad as Macro.

To follow up on my earlier post, I recently finished Microeconomics and Macroeconomics at Study.com, and while I found Micro to be fairly annoying, Macroeconomics seemed much more straightforward.

When I took the final for Micro, I felt like I needed to seriously overstudy since I wasn't as comfortable with the material, but Macro seemed much more intuitive. The final was worse since they asked more "trick" questions (question was ambiguous so there could be more than one correct answer, or no proper correct answer) so I scored a couple points lower on Macro than Micro, but both were in the mid-90s.

Then again, I took Macro after having completed International Business and Micro, which together covered a good chunk of the material in Macroeconomics, so perhaps I was better informed than someone coming into Macro fresh may have been.

Either way, both are easily doable on Study.com. No idea how they compare to Straighterline.

Macro is normally the first of the 2 econ courses, and it's normally considered the easier of the 2.  I took Macro a million years ago in CC, and I didn't think it was particularly hard (although I had an excellent instructor).  Trying to get through Micro on SL was impossible, and that was after taking Intro to Finance and Managerial Accounting.  I just thought it was awful.  Going through Study.com was MUCH better.
