It is designed to provide you with the platform for further successful study in the discipline, but students who stop their formal economics education at the end of ECON104 will still have been exposed to the invaluable analytical skills that the course promotes. This course attempts to answer real world questions that will interest all students, regardless of their intentions.
The objectives of the course are to:1. Develop economically literate citizens.2. Provide students with experience in basic economic methodology and analysis.3. Introduce students to the process of economic reasoning.4. Enhance students’ ability to critically interpret the economic ‘wisdom’ of the popular media.5. Provide preparation for further study in the subject (specifically with reference to courses atCanterbury).
