EC3030 Important Points to Note Check programme requirements and choose courses THIS WEEK Very good evaluations in last four years. Usually 80 to 100 students take course Visiting students, if not registered already, email me (johagan@tcd.ie) so that I can add name to email list for EC3030 Many visiting students take EC3030: 15 to 25 usually Development on and very similar to EC2020. Dedicated web site for EC3030: www.tcd.ie/economics/staff/johagan/ec3030/ On this will be: lecture acetates, course handout, assessment hand-out (next week), and class timetable and allocations (next week). You need consult nothing else. Lectures not compulsory but if attending NO talking at lectures: to allow other students to listen and hear properly. 1 Assessment Module A: one hour test in Teaching Week 8 (20%), essay due first day HT (20%), summer exam (60%). One term students: see hand-out Test and essay cover examination material directly: so both preparation for exam and not separate. Classes in Teaching Weeks 4-6 (for test revision) and Week 12 (for essay and exam preparation). Teaching Week 1 = Week 5 on College timetable. Avoid an F2 in any paper in JS: cannot be compensated no matter what your other marks. Many need an overall 2.2 this year: 55, 55, 50, 50, 45, 45, much better than 75, 75, 75, 75, 65, 30! Different though for TSM Average mark around 58 (2.2), but about 55% get a 2.1 (60-69) and around 12% a 1st (70+) Taking TWO modules but one core book Acetates NOT lecture notes. If you cannot attend some lectures make sure you know someone who can. 2 Assessment hand-out the ‘gospel’. For example, Block A. A1 (i) What do you think were the main factors behind the emergence of the European ‘project’ in the early post-war period? (1.1) (ii) What do you think were the main political economy issues arising in the EU from the end of the 1950s to the early 2010s? (1.6). (iii) What have been in your opinion the major issues facing the EU in the last five years, paying particular attention to the crisis in Greece and deeper euro zone integration and the issue of non-EU in-migration? (1.8, lectures plus parts of Chapters 2 and 3). 3
