30:70 degree classification system warps incentives and is the worst thing to happen to the economics degree since they moved into the post-WW2 building on Sidgwick

what time on Tues do IIA results emerge

i hate rich ppl

Idk if it’s just me being stupid but because I didn’t take paper 6 in Part IIB but @ people in the chat talking rn - wtf is a log normal never heard of that in my life

For any freshers who may want to attempt Paper 6: Don’t

Top tier study tip for those going into IIB: don’t study for micro, because the wage contract is more like w = \beta x, \alpha = 0 and \frac{\delta w}{\delta e} = 0

This haunted me throughout the Industry paper, never trust the "easy paper" again... relative to 2022 Q4 (simple Cournot with no mods) it was hard


“LaBouR is ThE eaSy PapeR “ then WTF WAS THAT EXAM FML

IIA macro A2??????

Macro 2A: Cry because it happened or smile because it's over?

i didn't revise any industry because i thought it was going to be easy and i've started looking at the lecture notes and suddenly everything seems very difficult

trying to get to part (e) of every industry question be like

my iia macro and labour scripts are going to be so neoliberal, f**k this

Is the econ department just participating in the marking boycott, from what I gathered from their email? So much for “industrial action creates inefficient markets” or whatever they taught us 😭😭

anyone know of a source to the camfess about econ grades being delayed?

why is industry sooooo boring

It's quite shocking that the faculty managed to mess up announcing a mistake in the micro exam and yet couldn't even squeeze out an apology

For banking people don't sleep on the essay qs, easy way to get solid marks. The paper can throw out stinky problems with avg marks of like 45 worth avoiding

(Source: got a first in banking last year)

Gonna need to do all essay qs for Banking and Finance at this rate

Any 2nd year want to give me the answer to this, would be forever grateful - a distressed diploma student x

eta and metrics people? was it worth it to be done early?

Really f**king regretting picking banking and finance

IIB students may not get to graduate on time (meaning a whole summer not knowing our grade - fun). Combined with the f**k up that was micro and the faculty's lack of communication regarding that, can we get a refund at all? This is getting beyond ridiculous.

MTB I see you sneaking in those cheeky extra minutes in the ETA exam, securing that comparative advantage are we ;)

Melvyn not asking how random effects is a quasi-demeaning is more shocking than Weilongs Qs

so the faculty are aware of the correction but are they aware that one of the questions literally was outside the scope of the course, the other wasn't solvable, and only half of the correction was told to the majority of the students??? actually so sick of this place i feel like any work i've put in has just been completely wasted and there wasn't even anything i could do about it. can't wait to leave

Can’t wait to open my results and see I’ve missed out on my 2.1 because of my 3rd in micro iib

when you see Petra coming out with the Central Bank of Britannia again: *WHEN BRITAIN FIRST, AT HEAVEN'S COMMAND...*

only managed to answer 3 questions in that macro exam…… think im destined for a 2.2 😪😪 unless everyone else found it as hard as i did but judging by the lack of complaints on here i might be alone

The solow did not appear to fulfil convergence conditions for income per capita… but I spent 20 mins on it so idk.

Did anyone find any errors in that macro exam?
