There is a ton of economic theory covered. You will get very good at reading graphs. Lectures were extremely long. But the practical was extremely useful. Towards the end, there was a lot of revision online. Forum was very active. Relevant questions were asked and answered by the lecturer, which help enormously for the final exam. If you put the work in, then you will be rewarded with a very good mark. If you don't, then there is a good chance you will either fail or only just pass. Overall, I really loved the unit. The final exam was very long though. We needed to answer 4 essay type questions including graphs in three hours. And this is, of course, closed book. If you are starting this unit. Be prepared to work, and whatever you do, do not fall behind on anything because if you do its just about impossible to catch up.
