Has anyone here taken Microeconomics?

I'm thinking about taking this next term (we can start registering for classes on October 10). I heard that it was a pretty tough course and I'm wondering if it would be too much of a workload with taking algebra 2 and working full-time (straight 40 hours, no OT). The other courses I'm going to take besides the aforementioned algebra are world history 2 and tech writing 1 (this will finish out my required English credits).

Opinions?

I've always heard that micro was tougher than macroeconomics. I don't mind the challenge of a tough class, I just don't want to overextend myself if I end up struggling with algebra 2.

I aced English Comp 1 and 2, so I should be fine when it comes to technical writing. I also want to take a non-fiction creative writing class. I figure that both of these may be beneficial when it comes to writing term papers as I get further along with my major.

I am taking Financial Accounting, Solar System Astronomy, and Intermediate Algebra all at the same time (as well as English Comp). The three math heavy classes are a big challenge, because I also work full time (40 hours).

I would say wait to take Econ until after you are done with Algebra. You will have time to take it later! I wish I would not have taken so many classes with different mathematical concepts.

I took Micro in my sophomore year of college. I liked it, never paid attention, got an A... We did a lot of games and stuff...

I think how 'tough' it is really depends on who's teaching it and how easily you can pick up the general theme.
