<p>D is signed up for 201-Microeconomics. </p>
<p>The IU bookstore indicates that Foundations of Microecon is a recommended book, but it is not required. I know quite a few students on here have taken the class or the parents of those students will know. Is it really useful to have this text?</p>
<p>If you show up to class every day and print out the slides for class, it isn’t necessary. It is helpful though, and reinforces what you learn in class. My teacher recommended you read a certain chapter before you show up to class, and it helped.</p>
<p>However, I became lazy for the second half of the semester, stoped reading the text, and just read the slides and notes multiple times before each test and still did fine.</p>
<p>Just a heads up; economics comes very easy to me, I know people who read the text and notes and didn’t do well.</p>
<p>Were you in the honors course or the regular course? D took ap micro, but she decided not to take the test. The teacher doesn’t have a great history of students getting 4 and 5’s on it. I just noticed that there is a lab pack or something with this book. Did you use that too? FYI–she’s not going to major in business, but may decide on a minor that needs it.</p>
<p>I was in the regular course. Last year there wasn’t a lab pack available/one mentioned for the class.</p>
