Unit description	Unit description This is an intensive unit in intermediate macroeconomics, designed to provide the postgraduate student with all the basic macroeconomics required for a general commerce postgraduate program, and serving also as a starting point for specialist studies in postgraduate economics. The unit covers a wide range of the models in use in economics today, including IS-LM, AD-AS, theories of the labour market, and the theory of exchange rates, culminating in the Mundell-Fleming model of an open economy. The unit also provides a substantial introduction to the history of economic thought, allowing students to see the origins of the models they study and so better understand the models themselves. Although a theoretical unit, the contents have a large practical application, with reviews of many of the problems facing the global economy since the beginning of this decade, as well as the attempted solutions. This unit needs no prior knowledge, thus any basic economics and accompanying mathematical and other skills required by the unit's material are taught as part of the unit curriculum.

Multiple Assignments

Due: Ongoing
Weighting: 40%

There are 2 parts to this assessment:

Part 1: Tutorial Assignment (worth 20%): Students will be organised into groups of 3. Groups will be determined in the first tutorial, in Week 2. While each member of a group is expected to present twice throughout the session (10% each), every member is expected to contribute to team preparations. Each member of the group will receive an individual mark. A separate document detailing the tutorial assignment is available to students on iLearn. Individuals who fail to participate in the group presentations will receive a mark of 0 for the task, except for cases in which a formal application for Special Consideration is made (via http://www.ask.mq.edu.au/) and approved. If that application for Special Consideration is approved you will be expected to undertake an alternative assessment task, this might involve an oral or written assessment task.

Part 2: Monetary Policy Assignment (Worth 20%): In week 13, we will hold a Monetary Policy Presentation. Each of you will work in your group and decide what kind of policy you believe should be implemented by your Central Bank at its next meeting. Your group should decide on a policy recommendation, supporting this with a brief summary of the data and economic trends. Every member of the group is expected to contribute to the preparation. Each member of the group will receive an individual mark. A separate document detailing the Monetary Policy assignment is available to students on iLearn. Individuals who fail to participate in the group presentation will receive a mark of 0 for the task, except for cases in which a formal application for Special Consideration is made (via http://www.ask.mq.edu.au/) and approved. If that application for Special Consideration is approved you will be expected to undertake an alternative assessment task, this might involve an oral or written assessment task.

Delivery and Resources

CLASSES:

This unit provides 3 hours face-to-face teaching per week consisting of 1 x 2 hour lecture and 1 x 1 hour tutorial. Lecture slides will be available on the unit web page at http://ilearn.mq.edu.au. During the semester, unforeseen circumstances may require the cancellation of a lecture and/or tutorial. Any changes will be announced as far as possible in advance both in lectures and on the unit website. While attendance at lectures is not compulsory, students are advised that their learning is significantly enhanced by their regular attendance. It is assumed that students will attend all lectures and tutorials. Students who miss lectures put themselves at a significant disadvantage for several reasons, including:

(i) Not all the material in the text is covered in the unit, and not all the material in the unit is covered in the text. The lectures contain all the unit material taught at the level required for the assessment tasks, and are your guide to the unit content. The tutorials will demonstrate the way questions in macroeconomics are approached.

(ii) The lectures and tutorials will include significant guidance about the style and content of the final exam and recommendations about study technique.

(iii) It is difficult (and often impossible) for staff to provide meaningful assistance to students outside class times on topics for which they did not attend the relevant lectures and tutorials.

You can do practice questions from every chapter of the book, and a study plan will be generated to help you understand the areas where you need to do more study.

Unit Schedule Teaching and Learning Strategy

This unit is taught as a mix of lectures and tutorials. The lectures are designed to provide the tools which can then be applied in tutorials. The tutorials may comprise numerical problems and analytical questions and will be detailed in a separate document on ilearn at the end of week 1. There should be the opportunity to explore issues raised in lectures and to ask questions. The tutorials aim to improve understanding of macroeconomic theory and policy.

• Lectures

• Independent learning

• Tutorials –beginning in Week 2

Learning and Teaching Activities

Lectures

Lectures are intended to provide overviews of the conceptual framework and economic data that are critical to the core themes of the unit. Students are expected to read the relevant chapters before each lecture.

Independent learning

A significant amount of learning in this unit is through learning-by-doing (about 6 hours each teaching week and 9 hours each week during the 2-week mid-session recess). ECON633 relies heavily on independent learning where students read the relevant chapter, revise the lecture notes, prepare answers to the tutorial questions and extend themselves by doing additional reading, questions, exercises, problems.

Tutorials -beginning in Week 2

Tutorials constitute a critical learning experience of this unit and students must attend them. Group work is an essential part of learning. In ECON633, we emphasise peer-to-peer learning by working as part of a group through the exercises and learning from others (fellow students and the lecturer). Presenting and explaining concepts to other students will allow you to not only absorb and learn but develop the ability to communicate what you have learnt to others, which will reinforce learning. Together, they will help you fully understand the material in the course. A tutorial is also an active forum to present to the lecturer/tutor any difficulties you encounter when preparing for the pre-set tutorial questions. Ask your lecturer/tutor questions and further guidance on how to approach questions. Students are expected to attempt the tutorial questions before each tutorial.

Policies and Procedures

Macquarie University policies and procedures are accessible from Policy Central (https://staff.mq.edu.au/work/strategy-planning-and-governance/university-policies-and-procedures/policy-central). Students should be aware of the following policies in particular with regard to Learning and Teaching:

Academic Appeals Policy
Academic Integrity Policy
Academic Progression Policy
Assessment Policy
Fitness to Practice Procedure
Grade Appeal Policy
Complaint Management Procedure for Students and Members of the Public
Special Consideration Policy (Note: The Special Consideration Policy is effective from 4 December 2017 and replaces the Disruption to Studies Policy.)

Critical, Analytical and Integrative Thinking

We want our graduates to be capable of reasoning, questioning and analysing, and to integrate and synthesise learning and knowledge from a range of sources and environments; to be able to critique constraints, assumptions and limitations; to be able to think independently and systemically in relation to scholarly activity, in the workplace, and in the world. We want them to have a level of scientific and information technology literacy.

Our graduates should be capable of researching; of analysing, and interpreting and assessing data and information in various forms; of drawing connections across fields of knowledge; and they should be able to relate their knowledge to complex situations at work or in the world, in order to diagnose and solve problems. We want them to have the confidence to take the initiative in doing so, within an awareness of their own limitations.
