From my own experience, Econ 200 and 201 are hard subjects. You need to understand,apply and analyse what you have been taught. BTW, they have 4 credit points.
Yes, Actuarial are hard but try Econ 200 and 201 too. I believe those are not easy too.
Econ 210 (Public Economics) is taught by Prof Abelson, I don't know how hard it is but from the headlines in my first post, they were 40% failure in his class.

Well put it this way, next semester we have ACST243, STAT271, ECON201 plus an elective.
And let me just say Actuarials only fear, with good reason, ACST243. They don't care about ECON201. It's very low on the peaking order.
Edit - I doubt that people who've done ACST211 (first year, second semester) would say that ECON201 is harder.
But of course we'll see. Soon enough.

with my experience with econ at usyd, you don't need to know any case studies. you must be able to apply the theories. they give you a scenario and you explain what are the possible out comes if such and such happens... or something to that affect.
