Course summary

Mixed

ECON1280 covers a lot of content, with some students finding it challenging while others find it manageable. The course is good for those who can self-study and follow the patterns in assignments and exams; however, lectures are sometimes seen as boring or old-fashioned.

Grading

Grading varies widely, with some students mentioning generous grades from Yuping (Professor Qiuxinyao) but others noting that Betty's grading can be more stringent. Overall, it seems to depend on the professor.

Workload

The workload is moderate to heavy, especially for those who need to attend lectures and do assignments diligently. Assignments are a significant part of the grade, with some students finding them easy to get full marks on.

Assessments

Assessment includes midterms, finals, and homework/assignments. Midterm scores can be low but improve in the final exam. Homework accounts for around 40% of the grade, while exams cover a mix of topics from throughout the course.

Teaching

Teaching quality varies; some students find it engaging and clear, especially with Yuping (Professor Qiuxinyao), while others find lectures boring or hard to follow without additional study. The professor's responsiveness to questions is generally positive.

Tips

Attend classes for a better understanding of the material, do assignments diligently as they are crucial for grades, and review testbank questions thoroughly for exams. For some students, self-study from slides and practice problems suffices.
