A subject that's easy to do well in and understand the content of, typically split into 6 weeks of microeconomics (supply, demand, elasticity etc) and then 6 weeks of macroeconomics (monetary policy, aggregate demand etc). The concepts and calculations you need to do are not too difficult and the content is quite interesting.

Easy to do well if you just simply put in the time. An introductory subject that covers basic econ. Giving this a three because it was boring.

An intro subject that covers micro and macro economic fundamentals. The first 6 weeks on microeconomics involves more conceptual ideas, with more calculations in the final six weeks (which covers macroeconomics).

Great subject for new perspectives on government and business decisions. Lecturer and tutors I engaged with were enthusiastic and knowledgable. One star less due to lecturer responses being delayed an impersonal.

As someone who has done economics for years and hated it - this subject is great and really interesting! Assessment is straight forward and the teaching staff are very upfront with what they want/ expect.

Most of my friends, and me, found that this subject is pretty easy & getting well in all areas. The final exam was not too difficult, and the assessment requiring students in much of theories rather than practices, so we all got HD in this unit.

My favourite subject in first year. Thought it would be heavy on maths but division and multiplication is all you need to know. I could see the relevance of microeconomics in my own life. For macroeconomics deputy head of economic analysis department Merylin Coombs from the RBA presented a lecture on monetary policy which was extra special. For the exam, the questions are the same as in the practice exam, tutorial questions and questions on MyEconLab. I had already seen all of the questions on the exam before I saw the exam, just re-worded

It is easy staff, if u truly understand the whole concept Good and easy

Want to know how things function in real life? Price? Quantity? This is the subject to go for.

I was skeptical about this subject because most people described economics as boring. I admit some of the initial concepts were a bit "dry" but once I got past this, I found it enjoyable and interesting. There was so much online resources, textbook questions and the tutorials were recorded so you could view the answers to the questions as many times as needed. There was a lot of material given for the assignment so research time was cut down and there was information to answer any possible question about the assignment. The way the exam was structured made it very passable. I would advise anyone taking this unit to just follow what the lecturers and tutors tell you to do and you would pass.
