Mathematics for Social Sciences - BFE0021

Assessment 1: In-Class Test

A range of formative devices typically in-class tests, formative feedback on summative assessments, reviews of files and folders etc., will be used by tutors to aid learning.  The exact nature of these assessment devices is at the discretion of the module tutor. Specifically, in preparation to the in-class tests, the students will have the possibility to solve two mock in-class tests and receive detailed feedback on these formative assessments.

<p>This module introduces you to the mathematical methods necessary for the study of applied economics and social science. The main techniques applicable to the study of modern economic theory will be introduced and where appropriate linked to applied content and will be used to  develop your understanding of economic theory. This module provides you with the opportunity to use quantitative techniques and gain an understanding of how these might be useful in theoretical and applied economics, as well as learning something about their limitations.</p>
