Title: Introductory Microeconomics as a Breadth?
Post by: mc1316 on April 08, 2013, 01:34:23 am

I am thinking about doing Introductory Microeconomics as a breadth (I am in Science). I have never done economics. I was wondering whether this is a full on subject, disregarding what is said on the handbook. Is there a lot of work I need to do to stay on top and then well ahead. Do you think H1 would be an unrealistic target?

Thanks to anyone advise in advance :)

Nope, as long as you attend both the lectures and the tutes; then a H1 is very achievable. The hardest patt of intro micro is learning the concepts so you can apply the maths. (Its the same with higher level economics subjects actually, just the concepts get a lot harder).

And the maths isn't real maths.  None of the calculus and prob and stats stuff until you move on higher, if you wish of course.
