Making the Grade
Alejandro is a junior economics major who wants to go into business. Right now, he needs to choose his classes for next quarter. He鈥檚 interested in 鈥淢athematical Economics and Optimization,鈥 but it has the reputation of being a killer course. Instead, maybe he should take a class in Spanish, his native language. That would certainly help his GPA.
Should Alejandro challenge himself with the mathematical economics class knowing he will learn a lot? Or is he better off just taking the Spanish class, knowing he will get an A, which will help him toward his eventual goal of grad school or a business career?
