Economics of the EU

ECON3052 - Spring Term Course

Please be aware that you need to be making presentations of around 15 minutes about a topic you choose from the list available in the website. You can work in a group of 3 at most.

You should let me know about the group members and the topic you choose as soon as possible since the presentations will start by the 4th week (2 March).

If I do not hear from you about the group you form and the topic you choose by Week 3 (23 February), I will determine those randomly.

Lecture slides will be added to the website week-by-week.

Documents on the presentation topics are available in the "Topics to select for Presentations" hyperlink below.

Please do not try to present everything on the topic you choose but rather concentrate on a subtopic of the topic you choose. Please try to strike a balance between making us learn some new stuff and have enjoyable time.

You can use powerpoint or pdf document for presentations. You can also include a very short video. Here is a link for effective presentation tips.

Attendance is compulsory except for 4th year students who have real excuses which I am informed about.
