After listening to Carlos's thoughts on the varying degree of difficulty between the different Microeconomic classes available at MIT and Harvard, I’ve decide to examine the course content of various courses at the MIT OpenCourseWare website. There, I compared the assignments for courses 15.010 and 14.122, an Economic class for MBA students and a Microeconomic class for Economics graduate students respectively. To make the comparison more meaningful, I compare the assignments on Game Theory from both classes. Well... see for yourself. This is an assignment from 14.122 and here's an assignment from 15.010. Further comparison indeed affrims that 14.122 to be the more challenging class. I am still debating if I should take 15.010 or 14.121/14.122 in the fall. If my thesis (which I am still formulating right now) includes significant economic content then I should take 14.121/14.122. My only reservation is that I will be overloaded with courses this fall and taking 14.121/14.122 will surely introduce more stress to my life. Yikes... In any case, I'll still have 2 more weeks before class registration to make the decision.
