My purpose to create this thread is to find how many Microeconomics students(those taking year 2008 exam) don't understand.
"Two heads are better than one head"
To all current Mark Harris' students from FT (AA,BB,CC) and PT(AA),
State the type of topic, then which part of the topic..(i.e Risk;contingency commodities)The ones you don't understand.
We can discuss about it until we have wholly understood what it is about. Not just small picture of the topic but we are more into getting big picture of it.
Hopefully, i see some posts here. To me, no post is bad news and some posts is good news.

Wah, you revived my thread. It is pathetic that nobody post questions to discuss. It is no surprise to see such high percentage of failure for this paper.
if you are banking and finance student, you will be very fortunate to find some concepts that build on micro concepts interesting in FI,IM, and CF. It is assumed that you understand all the concept of Micro except factor markets.

But Mr Mark Harris told us that micro is the easiest paper to pass :p
PBF passing rate is only 49% chime..
I am accounting student bro..yes you are exact, 2 days ago, I attended CF lecture, many micro concepts in it such as allocation of time, budget constraint, inter temporal, preferences, consumption and production..maybe information assymetry too..wow CF is damn tough bro..
Why factor markets no need to be understood?In CF now I study Fisher separation theorem, many micro graphs...
I have added your msn..please approve..thanks

eh, i never receive any alert. PM me your email address. This way, i add you in my msn list.
Then you will find game theory in FR and some in MA.
Micro is easy to handle but however, i feel that people tend to underestimate the standard of question. Therefore, they miss a lot of details that is needed to be learnt and can be used to explain.
WTF PBF passing rate is only 49%?PBF is easier than Micro in my opinion.

Too early for you to say that. Wait until Februrary. Let see if you can cope with overloading tasks. And too bad, there is no another 'Melvin' in any of Micro class for 08/09.
Non-economics and economics subjects in the SIM subject list have been using micro concepts to explain the nature of the existence of something.
1)PBF: Asymmetric Information
2)POA: Production cost drawings in MA part
3)IM: Utility theory, Risk
4)Macro: Intertemporal Choice and production
5)Strategy:Market structure
6)CF: Intertemporal Choice, perfect competition(MM use some perfect competition assumptions to develop)
7)FI:Asymmetric information, externalities, game theory, intertemporal choice
8)FR: Game Theory
9)POM:Consumer Theory, Game Theory, and Perfect Competition
10)VSA:Asymmetric Information, ( i have not yet read whole SG)
I believe that there are many more micro concepts used in other subjects.

There will always be someone who is good each year. Who knows that someone could be better than "Melvin".

You misunderstood. I am not refering the ones who will score well in Micro. I am talking about the kind who is able to help classmates in class. I doubt that these kind of people will do some signalling(answer mark's questions correctly) to show the class that he is good.
That is the gist about him. It is best understood if you met him personally.

I didnt mean to say that someone will score well in Micro. I meant exactly the things you are talking about. There will be some one who is willing to help other people and be able to answer mark question correctly. I believe last year there was not only Melvin who was do the signalling, there were some students from other class (not in your class) did the same thing.

Oic, last year was quite bad compared to this year if you knew the number of 1st class students. Only TWO last year. IMO, there are not that many who is that close to Melvin when come to every single concept in every concept. At most, you can find the ones who know large portion of micro. That is why you will only understand when you have studied with him. If not, it is easy to think that there will have some people.
Certainly, there will be people who will do well in micro in 2009 paper.
