In terms of note taking tips- you should not only use Morris- but also try and incorporate ideas and concepts from both the MrWood and Salla (economicstutor.com) sites- as these are much better than Morris' text book IMO. Try and broach every concept that you have with an example- so if you're talking about market failure- link every example of market failure with a real life example. Don't copy slabs of notes as well- careful dot points and mindmaps are much better. In economics- it's not about memorising shitloads of info (well some of it is) but you're better off actually being able to understand the concepts well- and get a feel of how all the aspects work together. A mind-map helps you do that (especially if you learn well through visuals) as you can get an understanding of how the economy and its functions inter-relate.
Given that you're in MHS- you have to recognise that whilst SAC marks in English and BM and such go up heaps- the school isn't great in eco. I had Janus this year- and whilst a great teacher- his marking is much harsher than Wilson's (who's gone) and although I was in the top couple in SACS for UNit 3- I got an A for GA1- which pulled my SS down to 43.
Remember to stay on the ball and keep up to date with economic occurances. The cohort of 2009 is unlucky- because you guys will get a hell of a lot of questions about this economic downturn. You should have/ be collecting as many articles as possible about sub-prime- economic downturns etc- because these will definately come up in the exam- and you'd rather be drawing on explanations and examples provided by learned individuals- rather than your own understanding.
PM me if you want any more advice!
Could any past economics students, (regardless of how well you ended up scoring) offer myself and other economics students for 2009 any general advice and tips to gun eco in '09.
