Teaching and assessment Teaching takes place in lectures, supported by tutorials, study groups and computer laboratory classes. Computer facilities are used extensively in economics teaching, especially in the quantitative modules, now part of the essential ‘toolkit’ of modern economics. You will acquire expertise in a wide range of statistical, economic and modern business software. A range of assessment methods is utilised across the programme comprising weekly or fortnightly exercises, mid-semester tests, projects, essay assignments and unseen two-hour examinations. The precise combination in each module will depend on the material covered.
