Economic Equilibrium: 2015-2025
Emerging economies
get stronger
The emerging economies
of Asia and in parts the
Middle East and Latin
America take advantage
of poor economic
decision making and
subsequent long term
recessionary effects on
Western developed
markets.
Closer economic
equilibrium with the
‘West’
Slow western economic
recovery
Slow recovery in US; UK
& PIGS following a short
lived double dip recession
in 2011. Confidence
returns in 2015 following
robust economic policy
making leading to
sustainable economic
growth into 2025.
Globalisation in the next decade
Open global society
Prosperity embraces most
regions into 2015. Trading
Blocks e.g. EU; SE Asia exist
and become fully integrated into
a robust global economy.
Positive globalisation a reality
Free flow of goods; labour;
technology and finance. Treaties
exist to encourage cross-border
trade and PPP. Multinationals
prosper, flexible and freely flowing
labour forces leads to widespread
national integration into the global
market.

Address Academic Demands
How many hours does it take to prepare for every
hour of a course?
• 1. For regular, it takes 2 hours out-of-class for each hour of class for
preparation and grading.
– 9 hours = 3 hours of class time + 6 hours of preparation and grading
• 2. For new preparations, the teacher should double the out-of-class
time.
– 14 hours : 3 hours of class time + 12 hours of preparation and
grading.
