You Are Trying to Decide Which Professor to Take for Economics

Essay

You are trying to decide which professor to take for Economics. (You don't want to take it at all, but you have to.) Professor A is known to have great classes (fascinating lectures with lots of fun stuff thrown in), but she gives very challenging exams. Professor B's classes are quite dull, but his exams are quite easy. What are the marginal costs and benefits of taking Economics from Professor A rather than from Professor B? Who would you pick?
