This is a reading-intensive course, and you are expected to read widely following your own initiative. All of the required readings are available from the Barr-Smith Library either electronically or in hard copy.

If you are uncertain about how to access online articles, e-books or other materials you should take the BSL Online Discovery Tour at  .

If a book is on loan, place a recall and the book should be available within a week .

This is important for BSL staff to judge demand; if there are multiple requests for a book, the library will take action to increase availability.

The minimum reading to prepare for the final exam is contained in:
1. The textbook for the course is Richard Pomfret: The Age of Equality: The Twentieth Century in Economic Perspective (Harvard UP, 2011).
2. Selected articles and book chapters listed in the reading list.

This list of readings for each week's tutorial topic will be posted on MyUni. These readings provide a starting point for the required essay, but students are expected to identify and incorporate additional literature and material on their own initiative.

If you are uncertain about how to access online articles, e-books or other materials you should access the library tutorials at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/library/help/tutorials/ . Additionally the library has a resource guide for economics which might be helpful in this regard,

This is a reading- and writing-intensive Economics course. The lectures focus on key issues and ideas, introducing the main concepts used in Economic History. Tutorials require the preparation and active participation by students in the discussion of the key issues introduced in the lectures. Additionally students are asked to give presentations demonstrating their ability to understand and communicate the relevant literature. The essay, based on the tutorial presentation, requires students to conduct some independent reading and research beyond the core material of the course.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. This means that, for this course, you are expected to commit approxmately 12 hours per week including lectures and tutorials

A list of particular questions for discussion in the tutorials will be posted on MyUni. Specific additional tutorials for the IIID students will be held in weeks 4, 8 and 12 and integrate the topics until then.

Tutorials are an important component of your learning in this course. The communication skills developed in tutorials by regularly and actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

Tutorial presentation	10%
Essay	30%
Final Exam	60%

       

Due to the nature of Economic History and reading/writing/communication intensity of this course the quality of English expression is considered to be an integral part of the assesment and may affect the mark.

Tutorial Presentation
The list of tutorial topics/questions will be posted on MyUni in advance. Your choice will be approved by the lecturer in charge of the special tutorials for IIID. You will be expected to give a discussion of your answer in the tutorial appropriate to your topic.

Essay
Each tutorial topic will contain a set of essay questions. When selecting a tutorial topic an essay question for this topic has to be selected as well, which also has to be approved by the lecturer. The essay, approximately 3,000 words long, must be handed in to the Tutor-in-Charge no later than the due date stated on the list of Tutorial Topics.

All individual assignments must be attached to an Assignment Cover Sheet which must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Lecturers will withhold student’s results until such time as the student has signed the Assignment Cover Sheet. Students must retain a copy of submitted assignments. Students must not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course.

Referencing is critical to any assignment or report. If you are not confident on how to reference correctly ask your lecturer or look at the study resources web page:  or
Correct referencing will avoid plagiarism problems.


Final Exam
The final examination will require students to write extended essay style answers to three questions. Sample exam questions will be posted on MyUni. The final exam will cover the entire course. All material from the lectures, the readings listed, or the tutorials is examinable; wider reading and deeper thinking are likely to be rewarded by higher grades. Students’ work will be assessed on the logical quality of the arguments presented and on the ability to determine which arguments better explain the facts. Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process; marks may be deducted in the final examination because of poor hand-writing.

Examinations will be held only at the time and locations stated in the 最新糖心Vlog’s Examination Timetable so may not be taken in another country. Students should not make any arrangements to be absent until after the examination period. It is each student's responsibility to read the examination timetable. Misreading the timetable is not accepted as grounds for granting a supplementary exam. Students may NOT take a DICTIONARY (English or English-Foreign) or a CALCULATOR into the examination.
