Required texts
There is no prescribed textbook for this unit and there is no need to purchase a book. The pre-recorded lectures, some reading materials and questions for each workshop will be provided on the unit's Canvas site.
The textbooks listed below can be helpful reading. There are literally dozens of other, similar introductory economics text books that essentially have the same theoretical content and would be good substitutes.
Hubbard, G et al (2019) Essentials of Economics (4th edition)
McConnell, C et al (2021) Economics (22nd edition)
Stevenson, B & Wolfers, J (2020) Principles of Economics (1st edition)
Mankiw, G (2021) Essentials of Economics (9th edition)
Participation requirements
Regular attendance and participation at the workshops is strongly recommended to produce good case studies, and to prepare for the final examination.
Required IT skills
Familiarity with Microsoft Word and Powerpoint.
Students taking the online workshop option will do so using the Virtual Room in the UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with the facilitator and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
