two quick schedule questions

1: I tested out of econ200 with a 4 on the micro ap exam. Should I take it anyway? I've heard that sometimes it's better to get that easy A and get the extra preparation for econ201 rather than just moving straight on up.

2: could I feasibly get from the engineering/math/science area of the campus to van munching hall (the business building) in under fifteen minutes? I'll be walking, and it'll probably be on a friday.

Thanks!

1. Up to you--you could register for the class and sit through it for a couple lectures and then drop it if you don't want to.

2. If you walk quickly, you should definitely be able to get there in 15 minutes.

econ200 is a joke. you do not need to know econ200 to take econ201. if you got a 4 on the exam i think you should know enough to take on the other econ classes.

i've walked from hagerstown hall to van munching in 13 minutes one time. totally doable. but it's not hard to be late cuz of things that come up, like waiting for a friend or talking to a professor after class, or you're just tired and walking extra slowly. if it's a big lecture at vmh it wont be a big deal if you show up a couple minutes late. if the professor does have a problem with it, however, which i know some do, just talk to him/her about the situation!
