I got basically a 100 in Econ 2035 I believe. shite was awesome. Set the curve one time. Made me feel like a dick. 
I didn't start studying until dead week for the final. Of course we had multiple exams. LSU is easy. Im glad I went there and had a fun four years instead of busting arse at a hard school just to get to the same place.

Ivy league schools have history majors, and we take business classes sometimes. Especially easy as shite intro econs like this one.

I'm sure I'll catch flak for this, but to help the OP out, you may not have to take it over again (at least if you're not an econ major).
The rule about requiring C's only applies to courses that are an immediate pre-req for another course.
For example, if you got a D in ECON 2010, you would not be allowed to take 2035. But because 2035 is the last ECON course in that succession, you would not be required to have a C, only a D (which is technically a passing grade).
Does that make sense?
I know this was true for Finance majors about 4 years ago (possibly because I experienced it firsthand with the exact same class  )
Let me know if you have any questions.

Like looking up the class times for next semester when you have to retake it? Look I get it, when I was in college I got a D in 1 of the econ classes. The teacher wasn't great and I won't claim the material is always easy but I didn't blame the teacher. If I would have done what I was supposed to I would have done better.

Who fails econ?
A lot of people do. The three early econs are used to weed out students.
If you have any thinking skills at all you should easily pass any econ class.

10-15 percent of my grade wouldve been a 100 had we been assigned some homework.
I've had VERY few classes hand out homework for grades.
Usually 4 tests at 25% a piece.

And then jumping on the OT to cry about how the teacher didn't curve your grade enough to make your dumbass pass and that there was no homework to help boost your shitty grade.
