Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to give broad but still focused overview of selected frontier topics in Macroeconomic Modelling
The learning and teaching methods include:
Presentation and discussion in small group sessions.
Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
