A Level in Economics

Course summary

Economics is a challenging but rewarding subject. Be prepared to work hard from the start. Lessons will involve a mix of learning new content, applying what you have learned through written or multiple choice questions, and keeping up to date with current economic issues. Homework will often consist of independent reading and study, with some written answers and essays. Throughout the year you will undertake regular assignments. This allows for teachers to give you feedback which can help you improve, and more importantly it allows you to assess for yourself your own strengths and weaknesses. You will be expected to respond to feedback by independently working on your own areas for improvement. The ability to work independently will be crucial to your success. Having said that, extra support from teachers is always available, should you need it.
