During the course, there will be six assignments that students need to hand in at the BEGINNING of class. NO assignments will be accepted after the lecture has started. The five best assignments count for 15% of the final grade for this course.

INSTRUCTIONS: Print out the assignment, staple it together in the top left corner and answer the questions in the provided space. Write your name, student number and tutorial section in the designated space on the front page. You can print double-sided but only a single page per side. Marks will be deducted if these instructions are not followed! (I hate to be so picky about this but it is simply unacceptable for the teaching assistants to deal with a mess similar to previous semesters).

Marked assignments will be handed back in tutorials. Assignments that were not picked up, can be found in the reception area of the Economics Department (Buchanan Tower, 9th floor).
