Economics of Public Policy
Bring on SF! I'm actually really looking forward to it, not just because I'm dropping Sociology and Politics;)
Hope to see an improvement in Business next year otherwise I'm going with pure Economics.
Randomness, House of Wolves, greengoose and Zuchum, I think you guys are the only other JFs here, what are thinking for next year? Anybody thinking of doing Schols?
Eh im doing basically the same, but im doing the law module instead of economics of public policy. I might change my mind tho, and get rid of the law because I could do something a little bit more useful. Il see after my exam results I guess if I want to stick with law a bit longer. lol Im setting myself up for the economics and business degree. not sure which i prefer yet actually. I think i might give schols a shot, although i dont think il get it. Im alrite at college, but im no whiz kid

Barrett is very amusing, and is a real 'college character', but what he teaches is based on dubious statistics from the 1980's, so it has extremely limited application to public policy today.
Ah rite, hmmm well il leave my options the way they are for the minute then. I mite as well have one interesting class with law.

Sociology really is the biggest load of BS I've ever read in my entire life....
Yea it really is. Pierre Bourdieu doesnt make any sense. He has one point, which is fair enough, but then he makes this point into three pages of nonsense, repeating his point, and using quite difficult language to make it seem more complex. I really needed the lecture notes to get points on that.
but yea im not too worried, cramming isnt fun, and i just wanted to complain. i think i should be alright in the end, hopefully 0 -

im just studying what his slides are on...which isn't that bad considering theres only around 15 or so real topics he did.
Europes definitely gonna come up because it's all Michael Geary did...but it's so very very boring...
Yea thats true, Im doing the same, just with the book open to look good.
About the europe thing, did raj not say that stuff would only be coming up from material that he covered, which i know applies to the guest lecturers, but it wouldnt it also apply to Michael Geary as well?
Then again what would be the point of those lectures!
What you covering for Sociology?
Ive done Pierre Bourdieu, consumerism question and mcdonaldisation. still have one area to cover tho.....0 -

Well the important business ones are probably the ones he talks about in his slides. The slides are pretty good if you are really trying to cram, or just to get a basic idea of the the paper. then im thinking that the stuff we covered in the tutorials will probably need a mention so im gonna read through that stuff. That will just need to be skimmed through because I actually wrote that stuff out so it shouldnt be that hard to remember i hope.
Chandler (hate that man), Mintzbeg and Porter are the names that come to mind......
realised i only need to get like 20% to pass Business so im not overly worried bout it.
Just finished going through gender there. Think i should be able to waffle for 4 pages on that now. Men are treated better than women is the basic arguement, learn a few names and thats that done ....lol
On to economics now.....not so great...only at like the start of macro. 0 -

Could be wrong here I but thought it was the case that you needed to pass the final exam in Business in order to pass the year.
Hmmm you could be right. You sound right! lol. well i think i should be able to pass. Business is english so if you have a general idea of the stuff, and have a half logical brain, then you should be able to pass (said while touching wood) if you write stuff down that sounds right then you should get some marks e.g pure navigator business and a vertical silo, guessing them working out well in the tests. lol
Im not going in thinking I only want 20% anyways
how far are you in the economics?0 -

I've gone over micro, but not very well at all. I'm basically relying on day-before revision for most of the subjects.
There's a pretty good choice for the long questions in Economics. 3 out of 6 I think but having said that I'll probably need all the help I can get.
Yea same here. Im trying to cut down stuff so I can learn it easier the day before. I think the macro slides are actually pretty good, because the way i look at it is, the lecturer finds those areas particularly important so he is gonna exam them, not things hidden away in the book. im basically doing his slides, with the book open so i can look at the graphs and draw a few out...thats the best i can do for economics....i covered micro, but i basically just read the chapters highlighting...not great....
at least it seems other people are in the same boat as me for these exams.......
i have to work sunday tho, so thats one day revision sorta gone.....:(0
