Semester page for ECON4120 - Spring 2013

  • All written and printed (including photocopied) material  allowed: books, annotated books, problem sets with solutions, your own lecture notes, copies of someone else's lectures, etc. Pocket calculators are allowed. (Communicating devices are of course not!)
  • Write legibly! If part of your answer cannot be deciphred, the grading committee will just have to assume it isn't there.  (But do not waste time doing calligraphy.  The committee has seen edgy ?2?'s before and can tell them from ?z?'s in most cases where you don't confuse yourself.)

Alice and myself (Nils) will be available for your questions.  Our offices are both on the 12th floor, near the elevators, opposite sides.  We cannot guarantee to be in the office at all times, but you are free to knock at whatever hours (please, disregard any “consultation hours” which may have been posted) – or, send an e-mail if you want to be more sure that anyone is actually there.  

I do recommend that you try to sort out where you are stuck before asking – because you learn from it.  If you try to identify what parts you can solve, and where your troubles start, you are much better set.  (Also, try to get it down to a “gap” – “when I learn this, then I can likely do the rest of it”.)

There has been a policy of not handing out solutions before the seminar is done. However, as it was requested from some Tuesday students to get one earlier than May 16th: mail me for a scan.
