The two intro economics classes that I took last semester and the semester before that were surprisingly math-intensive. I really wasn’t expecting that - like what was said above, I thought economics was about essay-writing (at least it was like that for me in high school). But granted, you do learn a lot from a math-oriented approach and the econ department often invites amazingly interesting speakers to lecture on campus, which is always a plus. =D
