EC1301 review (NUS)

in this review, i will be giving the rough description, assessment criteria and difficulty. i will not discuss about how easy or difficult to score a certain grade or what not. also, excuse my language.. i am not a professional writer.

EC1301: Principles Of Economics

this module teaches the basics and fundamentals of economics. students who have taken H2 economics in their JC years might find this module rather a breeze as majority of its content are from JC H2 economics. for H1 students like myself, this module is still rather manageable.. just that you have to scale a slightly steeper hill compared to those who used to take H2 economics. the bell curve is rather steep i guess. easy to pass but not as easy to score in the A range since the assessments are all in MCQs.

as for grading wise, they grade you according to your tutorial scores you did online, midterm and final.

personally, i find this module useful and a good introduction to economics. from this module, you can roughly get a sense of whether you would like to take more economics module or even consider a second major in economics. topics covered are rather straight forward just that the scope is rather broad. i find the online platform where one is expected to complete the tutorials rather slow and annoying though. 

as tips from someone who has taken this module, when doing tutorial questions, just do with a friend. or at least have friends to share their answers around. this would definitely save you a lot of time. you need not do every single available practices online. the key ones are those graded ones of course and i think those are probably your first priority. if time permits, then by all means go ahead and explore and try the rest. as for exams, just be sure and clear of each of the concepts covered and you would be fine. try couple of past year papers to boost your confidence.
