On the whole 102 is a pretty straight forward course. It targets non econ majors, and most of the people in the course have not taken econ before.
The workload is pretty light. The assignments are on the easier side. The tests are a little on the harder side though, especially if you haven't taken any other econ courses. ECON is a bit of a weird subject where some of the stuff often seems unusual and counter intuitive when you first learn it.
The class is also curved. Considering the curve and how econ is often weird for first timers I would say it would be a pretty easy course to get a B-/B/B+ in, but a difficult course to get an A in.
I took 102, 103, and 104. 103 is the hardest of the three. It is also targeted towards econ and business students, so it is a little more competitive.
I took 103 first, which made 102 and 104 easier for me. Of the remaining two I would say I think 104 was a little easier than 102. They are similar though.
If you are interested in econ though I wouldn't say it is too hard, just harder. I would not recommend 103 as a random elective though. If you aren't particularly interested in econ you will likely have a bad time. 102 and 104 are more approachable.

I just have another question, allot of people say that micheals exams seem like they have random questions? Is that true?
