GMAN 312: Midterm Answers Posted
I’ve posted the answers to today’s midterm in the sidebar to the right. They are under ‘Handouts’ for today’s lecture (Lecture 5).
GMAN 312: Sample Exam Posted
I have posted a sample multiple choice exam. The last time I used this text book, my exams were multiple choice. Nevertheless, this should give some practice problems and an idea of the kinds of things that will be asked on tomorrow’s midterm.
As we’ve talked about in class, your exam will consist of three sections:
- A multiple-choice section that will test your knowledge of the qualitative matter (concepts, definitions, etc.);
- A long-answer section that will test your knowledge of the quantitative matter (calculating free cash flow, PV/FV problems, annuity problems, etc.); and
- A bonus section which will include questions on the handouts and have challenging quantitative problems.
Expect around 15 to 20 multiple choice questions, around 10 to 15 long-answer questions and around 2 or 3 bonus questions.
Good luck on studying. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me.
Posted Three Things
- The answer key to yesterday’s exam (posted under ‘Lecture Slides’ – next to the date of the exam where the lecture slides would have gone).
- Tomorrow’s lecture slides.
- A handout on a book about growth theory from the Economist that nicely sums up the key points of growth theory (like diminishing returns, capital accumulation and efficiency) from Solow and Romer in a few sentences. It’s a good book, and the author David Warsh has a nice online column called Economic Principals. Check it out.
