Course summary
The course is generally considered manageable with minimal workload and straightforward grading criteria. It's suitable for students who have taken ECON1210 or 1220, but can still be beneficial even without prior knowledge. Lectures are engaging for some, while others find them dry.
Grading is fair to generous; it’s easy to get a good grade with minimal effort, though the final exam can be challenging.
Workload is light to moderate, mainly consisting of one essay and occasional quizzes. The course is flexible, allowing for self-study and minimal attendance at lectures or tutorials.
Assessment includes a single term essay (1500 words), quizzes after five sessions, and a final exam with questions based on class discussions and previous homework. There's no group project, but tutorial attendance isn't required.
Teaching quality varies; some students find the lectures engaging and humorous, while others feel they are dry or poorly delivered. The professor is generally appreciated for making complex topics accessible.
Attend tutorials if possible to get detailed feedback on your essay and prepare for the final exam. Self-study of lecture notes and readings can significantly reduce the workload.
