    Frankenstein/Blade Runner Essay

    lol u failed. you dont talk about the author's ambition, you talk about Victor Frankenstein's and Tyrell's ambition to be creator and cause scientific progress. you're going to get such a bad mark and you should feel bad about that since the question was so obvious.

    Law of diminishing marginal returns can help you answer this haha You can spend your time knowing 100% of the syllabus, with the last 10% or so being the hardest and taking the longest. So much so that learning that final 10% takes the same time as learning the other 90%. Or you can spend...

    Textbook recommendation

    If you can, get your hands on John Bulmer books. theyre not very common, but really good and have complex stuff in them. Otherwise, get Riley or Dixon or both. Riley is better IMO, it has more stats, but Dixon is more simple.

    How exactly did the GFC start?

    Causes 1. Fundamental asymetries of information in the financial markets (read some of J. Stiglitz' stuff about it). Problems with financial products such as risk and liquidity are factored into the price, so it doesnt matter if there are problems as long as investors know there are problems...

    Help! How to cram for eco?

    i think that cramming on economics has little point to it in the way most people do it i.e. reading textbook, notes, highlighting etc. the best way you can learn topics is by watching youtube videos - it gets me good marks. its the most time efficient way to study imo. many of the concepts...
