Comment(s):
Be prepared for a steep bell curve for this module. Be aware that a large group of students have a basic foundation on the principles of Economics and you would be competing with them. Thus, if you do not have any knowledge of economics, be prepared work twice as hard to be on par.
The syllabus for this module, as a whole is pretty rushed. Students without prior knowledge will likely grasping for air to take a breather after each lecture. All is not lost for students who are new to economics though. The module seems to have gone for breadth over depth. Hence, no deep understanding of the concepts are required to score.
For students who had taken H2 A levels Economics, there are new concepts being taught in this module. Thus, it is not exactly a breeze for you. Some new concepts include indifference curve and the new AD/AS curves used for this module. The concepts learnt in JC will still be beneficial to you in understanding the concepts in this module.
The quizzes are MCQ in nature. If you are prepared for the topics covered, you should do fine in those.
Textbook is useful for consolidation of knowledge. I did not buy the textbook. Instead, I relied on my JC textbook which was a University textbook.
Hi is Dr Suman Kumari Sharma good?
