- **2020-04** — This course is for students who are so much into exploring the links between finance and macroeconomics, so it wouldn't trigger the interest of every Economics major student. The materials are mainly based on theoretical models. The professor's style was not very interactive. The final exam comprises multiple-choice questions and may not fairly test your understanding of the learned concepts.
