ECON20180

Learning Outcomes:

The aim of this course is to give students the conceptual basis and the necessary tools for understanding modern microeconomics and how it may be used by individuals, firms and policy makers to analyse and resolve problems. It will also provide a valuable foundation for choosing and understanding advanced optional modules offered by the School of Economics.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

The module is mostly taught using a problem based learning approach.
All of the concepts that are introduced in class are illustrated using exercises.

Students can use AI when studying and revising should they feel it enhances their understanding of the concepts explained in class.
The use of AI is not permitted in the MCQ assessment. Should you use AI to generate answers in online MCQs, it will be considered academic misconduct.

Note: a reliance on AI to solve exercises and answer quiz questions will not be useful as all of the questions are not copied from existing sources so that an AI is unlikely to come up with the correct answer.
