Required texts
There is no required textbook. The Canvas site will include readings.
The following 2 books will be useful and are available from the library. I DON'T recommend purchasing them.
Appleyard, Dennis and Field, Alfred "International Economics". Any recent edition, as the book does not change much between editions.
Mankiw Macroeconomics - Also any recent edition for the same reasons. This is a different book from his Introduction to Economics text.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
