- Assessment
-
3 x 5% and 3 x 8.33% homework assignments. Questions were relatively easy to solve, but some were very poorly worded.
60% Final Exam. Same issue as before, with questions being poorly worded at times. The final exam required more abstract application of earlier topics than was covered in the homework assignments. - Assumed Knowledge
-
ECON1101 AND (ECON1202, MATH1031, MATH1131, MATH1141 or MATH1151)
- Comments
-
This course only really relies on a few tools techniques that get used and refined over and over again. As long as you understand the content in the first 3 weeks, you should be well prepared to deal with the second half of the course.
I suspect that some scaling with the final exam took place, as I don't feel like I earned my final grade after having taken that final. - Contact Hours
-
2 x 1.5 hour lectures per week. 1 x 1.5 hour tutorial per week.
- Difficulty
-
1/5 at the start, 3/5 at the end. The second half of the course covers Bayesian Nash Equilibrium, which I felt was rushed and poorly explained. This is also an issue that most students experienced in previous years.

Yes.

Aleksandra (Sasha) Balyanova 3/5. If she had slowed down just a tad and went through more complete examples during lectures she would've gotten a 4 or 5/5. - Notes / Materials Available
