Assessment

10% Tutorial Questions. They chose two or three problem sets we had to submit at the start of the tutorial. You can also just submit every problem weekly if you're not into that sort of thing.

20% Midterm. Nothing super difficult, just stay on top of the tutorial questions. Average was in the 70's.

2x10% Assignments. These were a little more difficult and had more parts that the tutorial problems. These just served as exercises to extend on previous tutorial problems and lecture material.

50% Final Exam. Questions similar in difficulty to the midterm, but focused on the latter half of the course.
Assumed Knowledge
ECON1101. This will probably change next year to ECON2101, as the lecturer is considering making this a third-year elective. Even if it stays as it is, take 2101 and consider taking 2112. It'll make this course a breeze. Taking something like 3106 before as well made this course revision for the most part.
Comments
A nice and chill final econ elective to round out an otherwise hectic term. Would recommend to any econ student who is even mildly interested in the subject. I've also heard good things about its little sister ECON1107 (which I think some people doing environment degrees can use as an elective?), so consider that as well.

Dr Tess Stafford, 4.5/5. Tess sat in a two-hour consultation call every single week for whoever wanted to pop in and ask questions, which says enough about her - she's great to learn from.
