ECON2206: Introductory Econometrics

Assignments - 15%. Two assignments which required some heavy use of Stata. The Stata use was (often) beyond what was used in lecture slides or tutorials, and required more googling than programming. Not super difficult though. Made some very stupid mistakes in my second assignment, similar to my midterm.

Midterm - 25%. This should be easy marks, with the average hovering around 70%. I did very poorly in it, due to misreading one number at the very start of the second section and not being given any carry-forward errors for the remainder. Still extremely salty about that, and it severely capped my potential marks.

Quizzes - 5%. Online quiz due every other week, which could be repeated indefinitely. Questions were all multiple choice. No reason to not pick this 5% up.

Final - 50%. Similar to the midterm exam, just longer.

ECON1203 or MATH1041 or MATH1231 or MATH1241 or MATH1251.

Another essential course for all economics students to master. My only wish is for more Stata materials.

1 x 1.5 hour lecture per week. 1 x 1.5 hour tutorial per week.

1.5/5. Not a difficult course if you don't do what I did and misread so many questions.

Yes.

Federico Masera, 3/5. The given recordings were poor quality, I wish that he had given us access to past recordings. Other than that a pretty decent lecturer overall.

Full slides given out. Minimal Stata resources were given, which is sorely missed in this course.

2.5/5.

Wooldridge, Introductory Econometrics. Another standard text. This textbook is one of the few that I own a physical copy of. An amazing resource to have.

Hang, 4/5.

50 PS. (yikes). This is entirely due to the no carry-forward error in the midterm. Should've been an easy 70+. Cost me Business School Deans List
