Here are some lecture notes to help you on your way.

I hope you find these notes useful but you have to bear in mind they are mere summaries of the things you have to know. Keep an eye on this page as I will continue adding new lecture notes as and when I type them in.

Yes, you STILL have to read Sloman. And the other stuff. Oh and for those of you with reams of other people's lecture notes - I dont know if its that helpful. I've always been an advocate of making your own lecture notes. Better memory reinforcement when you have to write it down yourself.

Make it fun - use a HUGE sheet of Mahjong paper or write with many coloured pens. Buy a PDA - gives you the motivation to write down your own notes so that you can look at them and still manage to look cool on the bus :D

Actually if you can afford a PDA you probably wouldn't be taking a bus... hmm.

One thing to bear in mind is - these notes are very minimal. They are NOT meant as a substitute for studying Sloman, nor should you even think of relying on them for last minute before-the-exam cram sessions. These are merely guides. Also, these notes do not cover the more technical and applied things I will be teaching.

Statistics on employment, earnings and trade balance.
