It is strongly recommended to be familiar with the basic concepts taught in an introductory course of Microeconomics.
In addition to face-to-face and online lectures, several tutorials (some taught by the instructor and some by the Teaching Assistant assigned to each class) are scheduled during the semester. During each tutorial, the concepts introduced during the lectures are used to answer questions and solve problems that are similar to those on the typical written examination.
Each exam consists of open questions and multiple-choice questions. The purpose of the exam is to assess whether the student can employ the analytical tools developed throughout the course, even in seemingly novel contexts, as well as formulate a coherent and logical reasoning using the economic concepts studied in class.
Additional points may be awarded for class/online participation. Class participation has two purposes: it helps students be up to speed with lectures and it allows the instructor to make sure students are not falling behind. It is thus strongly encouraged and rewarded accordingly. To ensure class participation and assess students' knowledge correctly, quizzes may be provided by the istructor throughout the course.
