i'm totally screwed as well. Econ110 is such a hard subject and it requires too much thinking and processing than the other subjects i'm doing! and i only found out that for my course i have to do 6 economic subjects over the 4 yrs and i'm doing half of them in my first yr! Also i heard that microeconomics is twice as hard as macroeconomics
I'm scared that i'll fail the subject no matter how hard i study cos its so bloody damn boring and too much reading, seriously who got through to chapter 32 knowing everything so far?

so i spose we just have to think bout diagrams, what makes them move up and down, pivot etc, as well as how to calculate all that national accounts shit and MEC. Im gonna do some past paper questions as well as mayb hte practice quizzzes if I have time (ive also got stat test and comp assignment to do- all left to last minute :p)

I found micro to be ten times easier because it was MUCH more interesting.
And I too was lost in the whole course up until exam period, where I just sat down and learnt a couple of topics for the questions they give out prior to the exam.

I did ok for this mc test but the second one...essay one...I got 8/20 =p
In the end I got a credit...for just reading the textbook before the exam. Not suggesting you do this of course =D

And Econ141 is pretty much an extension of Stat170, so don't forget your stat shit over the holidays

Don't stress so much, this test is only worth 10%. Focus on the long answer and the end of semester, because it makes up 75% of your grade. Think about it.

really! cos i heard that econ111 is much harder than macroeconomics. macro is getting kinda boring with all those graphs and damn relationships between the variables. by the way how did every1 go in the exam cos i know i totally screwed up. i can't believe a friend said that the exam was easy, i swear he was so boasting about how easy macroeconomics is.

i hadnt coloured in my name (the circles) by the end of the test, and i asked the lady if if i cud do it after the test, and shes like "no, your stuffed" :chainsaw: craig was alrite with it tho, she was jus being a bitch to me
