<p>Bogan is an absolute bore. Went to all of 3 macro lectures - the woman could put someone on speed straight to sleep.</p>
<p>I’d take micro - I found intro macro to be depressingly light on actual economic analysis and very heavy on rehashing what happened in various economic crises/formative periods. While this rehashing did, of course, use economic analysis, I’m really not the memorize-and-regurgitate type and really disliked it a lot. Micro, on the other hand, was largely based on actual economic theory and application, which I found much more interesting.</p>
<p>thanks for the tips! just waiting around for my email address so i can check out the site. i guess everyone rates profs using that instead of ratemyprofessor?</p>
<p>how does the language requirement work??
i read somewhere that we are supposed to take a placement test in July… is it advisable to place out by taking the test in something we already know fluently (I am a native spanish speaker) or take it in a 3rd language??</p>
<p>You have to fulfill the language requirement to graduate, which you can do in one of three ways:
Standardized testing before college. AP tests or SAT II language test scores (4 on an AP, 700something on the SAT II).
Placement test through the school.
Take a language up to the 107 or 108 level. </p>
<p>I’d suggest just taking the test and passing it. That way, you don’t have to worry about the language requirement any more, but at the same time, it doesn’t close off any options. If you want to take a third language, you can take another placement test for that language, then take the course at Princeton. Really, there’s no disadvantage to making sure you fulfill the requirement.</p>
<p>I agree with quirkily: just go ahead and take it in Spanish. That way you can still take any languages you want without having to worry about graduating in case you end up not fitting it in. I’m also a native Spanish speaker and took the AP Spanish test which will work for exemption, but I’m still considering learning a 3rd language at Princeton.</p>
<p>if you already got a 4/5 on the AP, is it necessary to take the placement test? What if it puts you lower than your qualifications according to the test?</p>
