3x Assignments (39%) Questions pertaining towards the lecture slides, alongside some coding and simulation tasks. Quite typical of an ordinary econometrics unit. Not too hard but not easy too.
2x Learning Diaries (6%) Just a record of what youve learnt and some reflections, pretty easy task.
1x Final Exam (55%) Exam was quite lengthy, found it hard to finish with good answers but I thought it wasnt the hardest paper ever. - Comments

I think a lot of people might have read about Bayesian statistics, but are usually unclear on how to explain them. Its not a crazy awesome statistical paradigm that everyone should follow (otherwise people would be disappointed) but its quite useful nonetheless.

Associate Professor Catherine Forbes a lot of people dont like her ETC2420 unit, which she doesnt teach anymore. But I thought she was quite good in this unit, in terms of answering questions and providing support as well. Definitely way better than ETC2420.

Introduction to Bayesian Econometrics Greenberg Gives a very brief overview of each item we discuss in the unit, but not very useful beyond that. There are also some non-time series econometrics stuff that we dont go through, and its quite interesting to read especially when you do the unit alongside ETC4420 - Microeconometrics, which teaches the frequentist equivalent of some of the equivalent models.
