Overall, the aim of the course is to continue the relevant and inclusive introduction to economics begun in SS410, and to do so in an exciting and interesting manner. The group work, particularly the term project on applied economic development case studies, is designed to encourage collaborative learning and it is the real hope of the instructor that the students will learn as much from their own interactions as from the teacher. The method of assessment reflects this objective. See OWH librarians for help with other on-line resources, as well as many other periodicals on international affairs. All materials in the economics classroom must be signed out for overnight borrowing.
All absences require a note or infirmary slip.
Drinks in class are fine. Food, lateness and hats are not. For more information go to Course Rules . 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.
