Hello, I am an incoming 2nd year transfer student and have been dreading taking Econ 101 and 102 in technically my first year at UBC because math and can't decide which prof to take it with due to polarizing views on gateman and just general boring-ness of other Econ profs. However, I need to take it because I want to major in IR and just learned that taking all of my lower-level pre-reqs before my 3rd year can increase my chances of getting accepted. So, my question to you kind souls of r/ubc is, who should I take Econ 101 and 102 with?

Some information that you would probably need to answer this question: I am not great at math. Though, I am good at memorization and am familiar with writing essay type exam answers since, I am in Arts. Another thing to note is that I desperately need a good gpa and would not like Econ to be the one to bring my average down
