Money and Banking (Econ 310-008, Spring 2011)
Preparation for final exam
-
The best way to prepare for the final exam is to review the midterms.
- 100 question, multiple choice test.
- The final exam is comprehensive.
- Old material (from the first 3 units) will be 70-80% of the final exam.
- 95% of questions covering old material will come from the midterms.
- These questions will either be lifted verbatim or slightly tweaked (e.g., direction changed).
-
Keynes vs. Hayek round 2 was released on Thursday!!
- Keynes vs. Hayek video - round 2
- This is not required viewing for the course and will not be on the final.
- Highly recommended nonetheless!
