ECON1001 mid-sem, yay (1 Viewer)

[Rafy]

Took the day off and did a crash course in ECON1001. (All part of my don't do anything till the last minute approach to my studies).

Seriously the content isnt that hard? If you work through the lecture notes and textbook thoroughly, you should be fine.

P.S I am in love with Frank Stillwell.

You're gonna have to share him with Stas

Rafy, I thought so too but the way the questions were structured, made it more harder than what I've seen in the readings and lecture notes. Anyway, good luck to those who still have it on Thursday and Friday!!

Wasn't that hard, short answer was similar to tutorial questions, I missed one, didn't have time.

 

[cimbom]

... I thought it was really good . Like, there was seriously nothing there unexpected, everything from tutorials and text book. I'm glad that they didn't make it any more difficult though.

OK I'm going to contribute this to the fact that we have different streams. If we don'ts, I'm going to commit harakiri, seppuku and/or (EDITED), I forgets which.

i fucked up the labour market question.

Demand and supply in a labour market needs some time to think about, in the pressure of an exam it's too hard.

the fact that the textbook barely covers subsidies at all is a bitch. my hsc textbook is more helpful even.

the textbook is way too thin in my opinion.

 

[what971]

So you got the same question, and did the test days after me. Fair, how?

 

[adambra]

We had a trade and tax question, no labour market one.

 

[cimbom]

stream 5- one on the effects of a tax for consumers (CS, etc) and one on marginal benefit/market marginal benefit/consumer surplus from a table.

i did it on monday, the first stream to do it

 

[what971]

^ k I was in the same one.

10/15 for MC, fuck!

i guess its ok, but my short answer section was absolute rubbish, ill be struggling to pass..

 

[Lhyviathan]

14/15

Phew!

Okay, now to get cut down by short answer...

 

[what971]

I got above 10 (I won't say exact), the short answer's not out yet right?

Also don't feel bad fush, wasn't the average 8.36something?

*nervous for short answers*

 

[fush]

all up 24/40

pressures on for the final




are all the streams scaled against eachother or are they all treated as separate??

 

[Lhyviathan]

51.5/60 ---> 34.33333.../40

I think the streams are treated seperately... though the averages were (as far as I know)

Streams 1&2: 38.2/60
Stream 3: 35/60
Stream 4: 33.5/60

Dunno about 5 and 6. D'you reckon there's enough difference to justify scaling?

 

[cimbom]

... the average for stream 5&6 was 33/60. I really don't know what they'll do with scaling though, if they do.
