Course: Macroeconomics
Course content: Text & videos; videos were an absolute must for getting through the course
Final exam format: Multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Pretty well aligned but some of the concepts were difficult to grasp.
Time taken on course: Several days
Familiarity with subject before course: Nebulous familiarity with the concept of macroeconomics in general. It was not enough.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: I probably should've taken Microeconomics first. That might have helped. This was a difficult slog and I only passed by watching the videos. Thank you, Kate.

Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Pretty well aligned but some of the concepts were still difficult to grasp.
Time taken on course: A day or two
Familiarity with subject before course: Had previously taken macroeconomics. Mostly the same concepts, only smaller in scope.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: This was relatively easy (though not the easiest class ever) after taking Macroeconomics first. Still not sure I understand elasticity and Kate's videos were still essential for some sections.
