Re: USYD Chatter Thread - Semester 1 2016
I've got one spare junior elective left for Commerce. Has anyone done ECON1003 or ACCT1006? What do people think about these units?
Re: 2016 HSC Economics marathon
Use your short run AS/AD model. The Phillips curve explains short-run AD shocks. When there is a short-run increase in AD, output increases (so unemployment should decrease as it is derived from the demand for production) and inflation increases. The opposite...
With bilateral agreements, they are very quick to set up and it is more stable to maintain (from a game theory perspective, it is a lot easier to maintain cooperation between two parties than three or more parties in a prisoners dilemma type situation).
However bilateral agreements may lead to...
There is no 'quota' price per se, but the importer will sell at their reservation price for the new quantity (i.e. at 12). This is not necessarily revenue neutral for governments, however, as they also may be able to charge for import licences.
English Extension 2 is always a risk. Someone in my cohort who got the same internal as me (48/50) ended up getting 28/50 for externals. The markers weren't that keen on mine either, so my HSC mark dropped quite a bit, and that ended up being my 10th unit that counted for the ATAR (so it pulled...
Just a few pointers:
- You need to be quite careful when you talk about structural unemployment, because it is only in the short-term that structural unemployment will increase (as the economy restructures). Afterwards, as productive capacity increases due to greater productive and allocative...
The only subject I had a book for was Chemistry. I used my laptop and notepad paper a lot (especially for maths), and continue just to use my laptop for everything. You don't necessarily need books, but books do definitely work for some people.
See what has worked for you up to now. I hardly...
You can definitely achieve a 90+ ATAR by getting in the high 80s for all of your subjects. However, for English Standard and IDT, this will require you to achieve a mark near the top in the state.
At the moment, I'm most interested in adverse selection and moral hazard in insurance/regulation.
I was also considering the fact that since law requires a lot more time than economics (for me at least), perhaps it may be advantageous to choose easier comm/eco subjects so I can do better in...
Thanks JasonG123!!
Is there any value in taking the pre-honours units if you're not planning on doing honours? The coordinator suggests that it indicates strong academic performance to employers, but I remain skeptical on this point.
I'm doing LLB/Comm and I'm thinking about doing economics honours. If I were to do economics honours, I would do that in my 6th year, although I'm not certain as to whether I would do economics honours - I probably won't if I do well enough in 4th/5th year law. And to do all the units to fulfill...
Wow! happypeople is (are?) actually amazinng. Was in her chem class and she definitely has a full and complete understanding of everything in the chem syllabus. Well done on those incredible results. Would recommend
Eco is really more of a logic type subject. So as long as you're familiar with the thought processes involved in economics, you would be able to reason many of the economic consequences out, and is probably more useful than memorising these causes and effects (especially for longer short answers...
ATAR Calculators are suggesting (with your 92 in Mathematics)
English Advanced - 91
Chemistry - 91
Economics - 92
French - 93
Extension 1 - 44-5/50
And with that, 92 in Maths would probably end up as the lowest scaled mark, and would have 1 unit counting towards your ATAR with those marks
tutoring Mod C - Representing People and Politics at the moment, so I have a few ideas on this. Yep, you don't have to be restricted by 'all'. You can argue that your text shows that not all people it politics are corrupt. And by 'people in politics', this might refer to everyone who lives...
