Course Materials Update

For those who have requested for materials, please try the new link and let me know if it still doesn't work. I don't have the full stuff for everything but it should be enough to give you a gauge as to whether you should take the module or in the case that you have to take the module either way, you can get a sense of the difficulty level.

Just some quick comments though:

• The lecturers for EC4102 in Semesters 1 and 2 are different. So the styles might be quite different but I do think that the content covered is about the same. Also, the notes is missing Chapters 6 and 7 which are just Chapters 6 and 7 of the textbook, Advanced Macroeconomics 4th Edition by Romer.

• I heard ST3131 got a lot harder this semester so I am not going to upload the assignments as they aren't going to be of any help.

• What is covered under "Exchange Rates" in EC3341 isn't a good gauge as to what's going to be taught in EC3343. So what I uploaded in EC3341 is only going to serve as a guide to EC3342. 

Course Materials

I realized I forgot to mention one important thing: I will only upload files upon request as you can now see in the side panel. So if there's anyone who will like to see the lecture notes/tutorials/assignments etc. for a module that I've taken, do leave a comment and I'll upload them as soon as possible. Also, let me know if the link isn't working.

Start of a New Semester

I will not be posting anything new onto this blog for quite some time. The reason is I'm busy juggling between work and studies.

Well, a short update for my readers though: I like the content covered in EC4102 and MA2311. And although EC3304 and ST2137 aren't as interesting, they're pretty useful. As for EC3332, I took it only because there were not many level-3000 electives left. I mean if the department actually sticked with those interesting level-4000 electives like Mathematical Economic Analysis and Income Distribution Analysis, I would take either one of them this semester. Moreover, it doesn't seem very fuss-free to appeal for EC4332 without taking EC3332. But truthfully, EC3332 was a bit more insightful than I thought. Lastly, ST1131 is just content from ST2132 as well as ST3131 presented in a simpler fashion. I think I spend at most an hour on it every week because I have other priorities on hand. Besides, having already completed the higher level modules gives me quite an advantage. The tutorials are very disappointing though so I gave up attempting them after Tutorial 3 or 4.

And that's all for now. I'll post again later this semester if I've free time.
