did econ1101 sem 1 2017 and got hd. Id say even without an econ background its not that hard to get hd. The content is usually just memorization but soemtimes youll need to understand the concepts in depth to explain them in your answers (since our tutor told us recently they ahve been marking econ1101 harder). But the amount youll need to understand in depth isnt that much.
Also like obliviousninja said there is hardly any math in it, its more a conceptual course. The math that is in it, is reading a value from a graph or using a formula.
