Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

Well Marxism blows.
And I feel neutral towards the others. So Keynesian and Neoclassical it is.

I think in my ecop subject for next semester I'm going to try the least popular topics /essay questions just for a change.

Which one are you doing next semester?
I'm leaning towards economy and policy.

I'm doing mine atm too.
Do you know if we are supposed use footnotes and stuff to quote good points of theirs? Or provide evidence if we think theyre wrong (which i dont).

Ecop1002. Economy and Policy.
It seems a lot more interesting to me than the 1003 option.
Who is the lecturer for 1002?

i'm not footnoting, if i give a specific quote i'm just putting the page number in brackets. i have the full reference for each article at the top of the entry so i don't think there's a need to footnote fully. and i don't think we need specific evidence, just saying stuff like 'this is poorly argued because X' should be enough considering how short the whole thing is.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

oh and she wrote up a 'better' intro and conclusion for me. Both were horrible.

Intro:
"This paper will talk about the arguments for the validity of the agenda setting approach. Then this paper will talk about the arguments against the validity of this approach. Then this paper will look at both via a case study. Then the paper will have a conclusion"

Conclusion:
"This paper has talked about the arguments for the validity of the agenda setting approach. Then this paper talked about the arguments against the validity of this approach."

HAHA, oh that's terrible. I mean, keep it sort and simple but not at year 6 level!

yeah, make sure to say hi when you walk past the photo

Oh congrats!

I totally forgot about your presso. You should've kept reminding us, all I had on my mind was to get home ASAP!

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

I finished at 11. Didn't stick around until three for your presentation Stas. Sorryyyy !

And I braved the quad at 11 to maybe see Ashton.
Do you know how hard it is for a small asian girl to find people in a sea of black cloaks?! Crazy stuff. Very intimidating.

I also bought Death Cab tickets at nine-oh-five.
:rofl: < That icon doesnt even come close to my face when I got them.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

I have to go to the physio this arvo. He's going to be grumpy because I haven't been doing my ankle exercise thingies.

I can't take him seriously though, cos his name is Dr Boobee. Pronounced "Boobie".

Seriously.

But after that I'm going to see my old vocal coach to do scales! Yay! Singing!

Between my throat and my ankle, I feel like I'm on a constant merry go round of drs.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

Airy Fairy is a great way to describe it.
Which theory/theories are you discussing?
I'm planning to discuss neoclassical and keynesian.

wtf are we meant to write for this?

 

[CurlyRuby]

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

wtf are we meant to write for this?

The question is:

What social values are embedded in the various schools of economic thought I have studied this semester? Do these social values influence my own view of the competing economic theories?​
