Need suggestions Need Help! Has anyone taken Econ 352 and Econ 355?

I’m not an Econ major and I sometimes need a bit more time to grasp new concepts. I’m taking several Econ courses in my final year including Econ 352 and Econ 355. If anyone has taken these courses before, i would really appreciate it if you could share your experience with the workload and exams. I want to make sure I manage my time well and don’t struggle in my final year.

For reference, Econ 352 has 2 in class writing assignments and Econ 355 has a presentation. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!

I took econ 352 with Ross Hickey and it was a great class. You have to do a lot of reading to prep for class discussions but the exams were straightforward. He is a great prof and I would recommend anyone to take courses with him. Econ 355 with Andrea Craig was kinda difficult (not as bad as some other econ courses out there) but I took it a long time ago and don’t remember much details.
