| UBC Econ 101 with Lemche?
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows how the midterm for Lemche in Econ 101 is. Everyone says just memorize the textbook and I'm doing that  Are his tests reasonable and are there any tips to prepare for hid "midterm" ?
Also, does anyone know what core average is good enough to get into second year commerce from Arts? I know it's 65% before they even look but yeah..
Thank you!!  |

Yes he is still getting us do to Lyryx Labs  Do you guys have any tips or pointers for me on my "midterm" next monday? Like which chapter/part to study the most and if the midterm was based mostly on lyryx LABS or End of chapter question?
Thanks again everyone | |

lmao lemche is a joke
for midterm just do the lyryx lab questions until you can do it blindfolded, guaranteed A if you do that
for final you may need to practice additional questions from the book as well

I'd suggest you make an appointment with an advisor, they can give you the minimum average that was required for transferring into commerce for the last couple years. The number of seats that open up in a faculty always changes though, so the actual average required is constantly changing.

Woah thanks for the replies everyone really appreciate it! Some of the replies are pretty funny though.. Haha I'm glad I chose Lemche and attend Gateman's lectures. Any other pointers? Thanks in advance!

However, once I entered second yr and took 2nd yr econ, I was so glad that I took micro and macro with him. He actually gives you a solid foundation to begin with. My friends who took lemche were having hard time in 2nd year because of their poor understanding of micro and macro.

Lemche and his lectures are downright boring. Gateman's midterms and exams may be more difficult because they make you think, but you learn more from his lectures/course. It's not hard to achieve 80+ with either instructor if you know the course content.

When I took Econ101 with Lemche, the midterm was "optional".
I just did all the lyrnxs and attended the final and got myself a 80.
I guess its mandatory now? Lol.

Hah, his questions are straight out of the book, or at least they were four years ago when I took it... I got an A in the course by cramming the book right before the final.. I believe back then you could skip his midterm and have your final weighted 100% as well.

Also, how does scaling work in his class? If I was above class average would it be scaled up a lot?

For ex. in my year, he bumped up 17% to a class avg. of 73... because the class's avg was 73-17 (can't do math) and 73% was where he wanted it at rofl!!

I hope you're being sarcastic... It's stated the class average was bumped up 17%, to 73%. Posted via RS Mobile | |

ya the midterm for his class is still "OPTIONAL"
Lemche just changed the phrasing a bit.
On course syllabus, it now says if you miss the midterm, the final will be weighted 100%.
Instead of saying MT is optional straight up.

This really fucked me over.. after taking Lemche's course it kind of gave me too much confidence, thinking every other class would be this easy but since I'm actually a science student, things didn't really go my way with other courses LOL, so I straightened out in 2nd year and started actually studying xD

LOL tegz haha I'm not surprised, I would probably have the mindset after taking his class..
Did he tell the class how much he scaled by or did you figure :P Also, does anyone know if he reuses the same midterms every section? O_o

I think he uses the same midterm for every section.
Seriously, I think that you are worrying too much.
I am pretty sure that you will do very well. 
(Well, as long as you review the textbook and the quizzes.)
