Feedback on Lectures

Attendance was not compulsory, but heavily recommended. The professor would be late uploading slides, and would often edit out important details from them, so it is a must to take good class notes. That being said, the lectures were highly engaging and thought-provoking.

Feedback on tutorials, assignments and exams

No assignments. Exams were a mix of MCQs and subjective questions, based on lecture material as well as relevant portions of the text references.

Relevant References

1. Mankiw (both Macro- and Micro-economics)
2. Macroeconomics by Dornbusch and Fischer
