Straighterline & Macro/Microeconomics

[l8989v]

I thought I'd share my input on SL's Macroeconomics and Microeconomics as I have just taken/am taking these courses.

Yes, the final exam is proctored, but that shouldn't let you stop it from taking this course.

The final exam of Macroeconomics will only count for 120 of 1000 available points. After each chapter you have a quiz counted towards your total. You have about 20 of these quizzes and one midterm. I read a chapter in the ebook and then took the quiz, using the ebook on this quiz. After all the chapters, I I already earned 84%, way more than enough to pass the course without having done the final exam. I didn't study for the exam, because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it without the ebook. I took the final proctored exam, relying on what I could remember from all the reading. For the answer I didn't know, I answered C (I read somewhere that C is chosen most as a correct answer with a multiple choice exam). I got about 50% on my final exam and passed the course with 90%.

Microeconomics is more or less the same with 140 point counting of the final proctored exam. I'll be taken this on Wednesday.

I took the courses this way, because I hate counting on one test for your entire final grade. Yes, you have to take a lot of tests, but if you don't want the rely on just one test, I think it's the better alternative!

Good luck to all the ones that need to take Macro/Microeconomics!
