Content: 3 Faculty: 2 Experience: 4 Workload: 3Module Content:
Content heavy elective.. contain slightly lesser content than JC economics, so it is like 2 years JC economic compressed into 4 months. Do get a copy of the ebook version of the textbook from your senior, it can help you understand some concept when the lecture notes is lacking.
Teaching Staff:
Lectures are boring... tutorial are even more boring.. however attendance is taken for tutorials. You should be prepared to do some self-study or group-study
Assessment Details:
mid term quiz + final year exam.. Exam is easier than expected.
Overall Experience & Feedback:
Do not drop this module if you are allocated with it!!!
Despite the slightly heavier content, the exam is actually easy. If you are not confident in scoring, you should just S/U it instead of dropping it. I said the statement above because some student think that they are put at a disadvantage compared to those who just graduated from JC with economics background. This is true since the content is very close to A level economics and girls with economics background from JC will be at a better advantage, compared to those with no background and guys who went through 2 years of NS and forgotten the content learnt in JC.
My take here is, even though you may think that you are at a disadvantage, the content is very useful and will definitely show its usefulness in the future.
For those at a disadvantage, it is common to get a B or B+ if you study, for those with advantage, you should aim for a A to push up your GPA.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

NEW Format: 10% class attendance 10% presentation of tutorial ans during tutorials 10% lecture 70% xam (if im not wrong) no mid term quiz
Teaching Staff:
my tutor couldnt speak english well so she could not convey what she meant accurately to us. For such a subject, this only confuse the students more.
Assessment Details:
took it 2010/2011 sem 1 EXAM: -my sem was a new format that inculcate 40 questions of mcq and about 30 marks of short structures questions. -tried past year paper that does not have mcq and was a breeze but the mcq in the new xam format killed me..kinda difficult for me to change from micro to macro questions after questions (spent more than half of the time on mcq to the extent that graphs in the structured has to be in free hand to compensate lost time haha) -after mcq it is another round of micro to macro transition in the structured questions. -concepts like what to include in and how to calculate GDP, and of terms like opportunity cost and comparative advantage must grasped well or the mcq choices will just add confusion (eg i got an ans using my supposed understanding of the term opportunity cost, but none of the options tally with my ans -.-) -some people see the mcq as a lifeline but i happen to not belong to their league haha
Overall Experience & Feedback:
testbook is a must as lectures dun cover all that is to be learnt and tested, and are in fact better and more precise than lectures
no essays where you need to give both side of the argument as in jc econs
hav to be clear, very clear of the concepts or else…
do chk out the new format if any
