And just lookin thru the unit outline, is the workshop basically the same as a tute?
I enjoyed Econ111 as a unit. Whereas Econ110 was just a pain (in the category of other units such as Accg100, Accg101, Acst101).
Despite what the vast majority would describe as a boring lecturer McHarg is a very good lecturer (so long as you get over his seeming monotonous voice which people complain about). (I'd have to say MacMillan and O'Donnell bored me much more and were relatively useless in terms of teaching.) I never read the textbook in Econ111 and still did reasonably well in Econ111 because I paid full attention and made what I'd call a good set of notes from the lecturers. And in doing so understood the content. Any course which can keep you awake and interested for more than 40 mins is a good course, you'll find.
The content itself is more interesting, and probably harder, than Econ110. (It's usually the case that people achieve higher marks in Econ110 than Econ111, from experience.) I think it's also more practical.
The workshops are sort of equivalent to tutorials except without presentations. If you get a good tutor, you'll be just copying answers. If you get a bad tutor, you'll be making notes in the workshop.
