Hated Delong. My ONLY A- at Berkeley, otherwise I’d have a 4.0

But if you’re gonna take his class, there’s a few things you can do.


Make sure you understand all the problem sets. They are similar to the exams. Now, your only problem is that the lecture is completely unrelated to the problem sets. So work on the psets with your friends and get help from your GSI
Understand the summer reading ESPECIALLY for the final (not sure if you guys were assigned summer reading, but we were). There was a question on it that came out of nowhere, probably the reason that I didn’t get an A
Pick a dumb section. Your grade is based on your section. If I remember correctly, they only gave out like 4 or 5 As per section. You need to have the best or second best grade in your section to get a solid A.


I never should have taken it that class… I had 5’s on both AP econ tests so I could have passed out of it. The consequences of wanting to learn more.
