4. OVERVIEW
The general objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic principles in Macroeconomics- which studies aggregate economic phenomenon such as total output in an economy (rather than the output of an individual firm), general price level of goods and services in the economy (rather than the price of an individual good or service produced by a particular firm). The specific objectives are:
• to ensure that students are able to define macroeconomics and describe the important macroeconomic goals
• to ensure that students are able to describe the national output concepts, their measurements and their limitations.
• to ensure that students are able to describe how inflation is measured using the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• to ensure that students are able to describe the different types of unemployment, their determinants and consequences
• to ensure that students are able to define economic growth and describe its determinants.
• To ensure that students are able to describe the structure of balance of payments and the different exchange rate regimes.
• to ensure that students are able to define money and describe the functions of the central bank .
5. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING APPROACH
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of problem solving. The goals of PBL are to help the students develop flexible knowledge, effective problem solving skills, self-directed learning, effective collaboration skills and intrinsic motivation. This course will use a problem-based learning approach. Working in groups, students identify what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to resolution of the problem. The role of the instructor/lecturer/tutor is to facilitate learning by supporting, guiding, and monitoring the learning process. The tutor will help build students' confidence to take on the problem, and encourage the students, while also stretching their understanding.
6. COURSE FORMAT
The course content will be delivered online through the SAKAI Learning Management System (Sakai LMS). The Sakai LMS will be used to deliver
• Video Lecture Sessions • Session Slides • Session Reading Materials • Assessments – Tests, Quizzes and Assignments
ECON 112- INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMICS II - STUDY GUIDE 2015 Page 7 of 16
STUDY GUIDE ECON 112 – INTRO TO ECONOMICS II
Announcements will be posted to the course website and/email accordingly. It is the responsibility of students to check on announcements made in class, on the Course Website, and through email.
7. LEARNING OUTCOMES
The learning outcomes for the course are outlined along three strands: knowledge, skills and outcomes.
7.1 KNOWLEDGE

agents in the economy as a whole. 2. Describe and analyse the main goals of macroeconomic policy. 3. Compute macroeconomic concepts using appropriate techniques 4. Make use of appropriate indicators in assessing the performance of an economy. 5. Interpret macroeconomic data on key indicators of the economy

8. ASSESSMENT
The assessment for this course has been designed to help all students to maximize their individual and group/team learning opportunities. A summary of the assessment tasks is provided below.
ITEM FORM OF ASSESSMENT DELIVERED MARKS
Trial Questions- Self Assessment
Multiple Choice Questions and Short Answer Questions
After each session
Does not count towards final grade
Continuous Assessment
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Short Answer Questions
Students to be Notified
30%
Written Examination
Semester Examination End of semester
70%
Total 100%
8.1 Trial Questions
Trial questions will be provided after each session to enable students enhance their understanding of issues discussed. These questions may be in the form of multiple choice questions and short answer questions. Although students will not be assessed on these trial questions, they are encouraged to take them seriously as these will give them a deeper understanding of each session.
8.2 Interim Assessment
Students will be assessed on the topics covered in the first 6 sessions of the course. The assessment will solely be on the Sakai platform and will take the form of multiple choices questions and short answer questions. As indicated earlier, the exact date for the exam will be communicated to students in the course of the semester. Once the date is fixed, students will be given a time frame within which they would have to log onto Sakai to take the test. The test will no longer be available to students once the deadline passes. Students are therefore urged to take note of the deadline for the test. Also, for short answer questions, students are encouraged to read over their responses to correct any typos or other mistakes that are likely to affect the quality of their responses before they submit finally.
8.3 Final Exam:
As indicated above, the final exam will take 70% of the final grade and will cover the entire course content. The format of the exam will communicated to students during the revision week.
9. RECOMMENDED TEXT
Although the topics treated in this course may be found in many good introductory macroeconomics texts, students may find the following basic text books very useful in enhancing their understanding of the course content:
