exam is time pressured and the true/false questions will catch you out if you only surface-learned the content. do past papers properly and actually understand the logic behind the models not just how to draw them

content is genuinely interesting - short run to long run equilibrium actually makes you understand the news. problem is the lecture sometimes goes on tangents without flagging what's not examinable so you end up studying half the wrong things

tutorial attendance is marked every single week which is painful when you have clashes. group presentation is fine but the true/false section of the exam is way trickier than practice - needs real conceptual understanding not just memorised models
