11、ion and production of goods and services which results in maximum welfare. However, sometimes the market fails to work （market failure）; this course investigates the reasons for the market failure whilst suggesting remedies to these failures. These remedies, which include the intervention of the gov

12、ernment, are compared and evaluated for their effect on efficiency and welfare maximisation.2.4 Aims and Relationship to Other CoursesThe aim of this course is to provide an introduction to microeconomic analysis. This means that ECON1101 Microeconomics 1 is an introductory course in the theory of m

13、arkets with relevant applications to business, social and individual issues.The course covers the principles and consequences of “rational” choice by individual economic agents in markets. The course also provides an introductory analysis of the role of governments in seeking to ensure the efficient

14、 operation of markets.ECON1101 Microeconomics 1 provides a broad introduction to economic analysis and is a core requirement for all students in the B.Com and B. Ec program. ECON 1101 Microeconomics I is a prerequisite for ECON1102 Macroeconomics I and for all courses in the School of Economics with

15、 a course code number beginning with 2 or 3. No previous study of economics is assumed.2.5 Student Learning Outcomes After studying ECON 1101, students should:1.

20、nform Teaching at UNSW. These guidelines may be viewed at: www.guidelinesonlearning.unsw.edu.au. Section 3.2 （below） provides more detail on Teaching and Learning Strategies for this course. The lectures, tutorials and assessment have been designed to appropriately challenge students and support the

21、 achievement of the desired learning outcomes. A climate of inquiry and dialogue is encouraged between students and tutors and amongst students （in and out of class）. The lecturer and tutors aim to provide meaningful and timely feedback to students to improve learning outcome.The examinable content

22、of the course is defined by the Text references given in the Lecture Outline, the content of lectures, the content of the Tutorial Program, and any additional material provided by the Lecturer in Charge.3.2 Learning Activities and Teaching StrategiesStudents will be taught the “core principles” of e

23、conomics and given practice at applying these principles to everyday problems. The aim is to teach the students to “think like an economist” whether it is in everyday or workplace situationsLecturesThe purpose of Lectures is to provide a logical structure for the topics that make up the course; to e

24、mphasize the important concepts and methods of each topic, and to provide relevant examples to which the concepts and methods are applied.TutorialsThe purpose of tutorial meetings is primarily to provide an opportunity for small group discussion of the issues, to which economic concepts and methods

25、can be applied, and to provide practice and feed-back in writing short answers addressing specific questions as set out in the Problem and Review Questions. A Tutorial Program which contains the Problem and Review Questions for tutorials will be distributed in the first lecture and will be posted on

26、 the Course website.The Problem Questions consist of selected end-of-chapter problems and exercises from the textbook （Frank, Jennings and Bernanke） and other problems and exercises. Students should attempt the set of weekly exercises before each tutorial. The solutions will be posted on the web the

27、 following week.In some tutorials students will be expected to write a paragraph type answer to questions. In the first tutorials these will be self assessed, in later tutorials these will be peer assessed and in a later tutorial these will be assessed by the tutor. The aim of these questions is to

28、give you practice in writing answers. No marks will be awarded to self and peer assessed attempts but your participation in these writing tasks as a writer and as an assessor will form the basis of your mark out of 5 for class participation.In the tutorials it is expected that the tutor will cover o

29、nly those questions which students find particularly difficult. This may mean that not all the questions set out in the Tutorial Program will be addressed in each tutorial. Questions which are not covered in the tutorials can be addressed in PITSTOP or PASS （see Section 6.2 below） or posted on the D

30、iscussion forum of the website. Out-of-Class StudyWhile students may have preferred individual learning strategies, it is important to note that most learning will be achieved outside of class time. Lectures can only provide a structure to assist your study, and tutorial time is limited.An “ideal” strategy （on which the provision of the course materials is based） might include:1. Readin
