She's not gonna pull out a random statistic from a tiny paragraph that you never even came close to discussing once.
Yeah, alot of the sample questions posted are pretty self explanatory. Requires pretty much no studying, alot of them are common sense such as:


8. High tax rates tend to

a. Reduce the amount of money created by Government.
b. Make a nation's currency tradable.
c. Promote economic development.
d. Discourage entrepreneurship.

And in most cases, if the Prof goes out of their way to say some shit in class, you can probably guess it's gonna be on the test.

I wonder if I was this lazy in first year. D:

LOOK AT HER SLIDES. THERE'S A REASON SHE HIGHLY RECOMMENDS GOING TO CLASS.

And yes, caps were necessary.

^^^^^No you don't need to know Appendix A

I actually enjoyed reading the textbook and all the online quizzes/tests are a joke which I could have done without even reading the textbook. Guess I'll start memorizing some shit in the lecture notes now.

Nah those have some use (I'm going into Marketing and S03 is at least somewhat engaging). I can't remember a single thing from 1E03 that was either useful, or not covered later.
