damsel in distress

 

[Minai]

Mmm..
Whats the format of the exam? M/C, short answer and essay?
or M/C and essay?

last year, im sure we had short essay q's worth like 5-10 marks each, apart from our MCs'
if thats the case, then its yeah, 2-3 pages, with diagrams
in micro ALWAYS ALWAYS have diagrams when you are explaining things...suchas supply demand curves, price floor/ceiling, prisoner dillema matrix, deadweight loss etc etc
diagrams are your best friend, cause more often than not, you'll be asked to explain a specific concept, or use that concept and apply it in a practical situation

2 - 3 pages?!
i doubt i can even write 1


btw what do u mean the prisoner's dilemma matrix?

just the 2x2 box or u mean matrix as in the maths matrix?

 

[redslert]

if you don't know what a prisoner's dilemma matrix is then wow your pretty much stuffed!
i don't know much about economics and i know about that

btw i like your sig tonberry_kun, where did u get that from

 

[Minai]

usually these micro "essay" questions have part a), b) c) etc though, although it couldve changed this year

I wouldn't stress too much about it. I think it will just be in the same format as our mid session last question, which is as Minai said, would be split up in different parts.

Also remember, he said he will have a choice of what questions we want to do, so all hope is not lost.

If you are desperate, you can always gamble and study only certain topics which you know best and just hope that those topics will be some of the options that you can choose.
