At the conclusion of the presentations, the moderator briefly summarises the major points and opens up the topic to the questioners who direct their remarks to the presenters. After a series of questions and answers and an ongoing debate, the moderator calls on the jury to ask their questions and give their verdict. If it is a tie, the moderator casts the deciding vote. Students should try to choose a PP presentation that ties in with their term paper. Note that all students are involved in all of position paper classes.
All absences require a note or infirmary slip.
Drinks in class are fine. Food, lateness and hats are not. We also use a collection of handouts which with the text provide an introduction to the basic concepts of economics and a solid background for the course. They guide the students through a range of issues and promote a good understanding of the economic debates to be considered in the course. The readings apply the theoretical topics to real world problems.
