(Oxford) Diploma : Learn Economics by Doing!

This is a rarity among Economics courses : your success depends not so much on the lectures themselves but what you do with them.

If you just watch lectures passively - then this course is not for you.

BUT:

If you watch lectures

- and do the homework

- and discuss follow up questions - and click the Resources and visit

- and  regularly read Educational Announcement

- want interaction with the Instructor

Then this course is ideal for you!

If you do enrol you'll find that as soon as the 3 minute Introduction is finished you become engaged in discussions about current economic events in China, Japan, USA and elsewhere.

That, really, is how to enjoy learning: by being involved.

Here are the main topics covered:

CONTENTS: ECONOMICS THROUGH WORKBOOKS

• Key vocabulary

• Key economic indicators

• Microeconomics

• Macroeconomics concepts

• Case Studies galore

• Current economics

The emphasis throughout this course is very direct:

• Please read this before the lecture

• Here is the lecture

• Check out the Resources

• Now let's discuss what the lecture was about

• Here is your homework - post in the Q/A

• Discuss what others wrote

What I suggest:

1. You enrol (of course!)

2. Start immediately - don't hang around perhaps never starting!

3. Submit the work in lecture 1

4. Discuss the work with others

5. Repeat
