Enjoyed it a lot more than Micro - not only more relevant/directly applicable to the real world, there was less fiddly maths.

Very interesting, practical because it's about the macroeconomy. However, the math and graphs are not always intuitive. The explanation of content is dependent on the lecturer. It's very easy to get confused if you get a bad one.

An interesting subject. Definitely shows how relevant economics is to everything that goes on around us. Jordi's teaching was terrible, he read everything off the slides word for word, not to mention he made a massive typo in the mid sem which screwed over almost all the students. Sam's teaching on the other hand has been great so far. He is more engaging and makes the subject a lot more fun. The content is quite simple to understand too, would recommend.

My tutor couldn't speak english, they stuffed up the mid term exam for all the students due to typing errors, the tuts/lectures didn't teach the same content. All in all an interesting subject, with crap organisation.

Loved it

This unit was a mixed bag for me. The content itself was good and informative. However, the rotation of lecturers made the unit feel less cohesive, as they varied in teaching style and ability. Tutorials were pretty standard and the assignment is very manageable. Overall, the unit could be improved but nevertheless, is very fair and decent.

Happy joyous

kind of bizarre

I'm normally a micro person, but this subject exceeded my expectations. Lots of maths, but Susana and Mark do an exceptional job explaining concepts and going through examples (e.g. PAE, the Solow Swan model, etc.) The course was organised well, and the tutorials were good enough just going through they very straightforward questions and listening to the tutor answering them and even showing us advanced stuff like the J curve effect. I didn't like the in-class essay, the data they gave to 'assist you' was very easy to find if you did research (it was data from the RBA website); not much help at all. They might as well have not put it on there. The question was also unclear. The 'money prices and the RBA' topic was confusing, but it was good how Mark gave us 'money creation in the modern economy'. All in all, I can see how this subject is useful for economics, but also in real life!

It's important to keep up with the weekly work! For the final exam, go through all tutorial questions again, mark and CONSULT YOUR LECTURERS, I cannot emphasise how important it is to understand completely the concepts involved.
