Course summary

Positive

ECON2285 covers advanced microeconomic concepts like supermodularity and game theory, making it challenging for those without strong math backgrounds. The course has generous grading, especially for the final exam, and is highly recommended by students who found it rewarding despite its difficulty.

Grading

Grading is generous, particularly for the final exam; A or A+ can be achieved with significant effort, and even B range is guaranteed if you struggle.

Workload

Minimal workload with only one ungraded assignment. The course is not heavy in terms of hours per week but requires quick note-taking during lectures.

Assessments

No midterm; final exam is a 48-hour take-home open-book exam allowing group discussions, covering the entire content of the course.

Teaching

Professor Tian teaches with passion and enthusiasm, though he is busy and doesn't focus much on this course. Office hours are essential for understanding concepts in real time.

Tips

Attend multiple office hours to keep up with the material; take notes quickly or take photos during lectures as Professor Tian adds spontaneous content frequently.
