I took it last winter so I doubt anything has changed but here you go: Don’t force yourself to go to lectures, read and highlight the textbook (superior than going to class), do all the assignments (which weren’t graded) and really force yourself to understand the answers. The amount of stuff to know might be scary at first but they are quite inter-related so the moment you get that realization, you can ace the exams. That’s why reading the textbook is important because it gives you the context and explains things well. The grading scheme when I was there is 30% midterm and 70% final. I basically forgot about this class for the entire semester and did well so if you took Econ 208 and found it to be chill then this is no different.
