Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review The lecture content is cumulative, so if you come across a part you don't understand, try to clear up your doubts as soon as possible.
Face-to-face lectures will be held with the assumption that participants have watched on-demand videos in advance.
The quickest way to understand this class is to deepen your understanding by solving problems, so I recommend that you try solving the practice problems that do not require submission.
The lectures will be based on the content covered in 'Macroeconomics I.' Therefore, it is recommended that those who have not taken this course review the material on their own.

Requirements Lectures are half on-demand and half face-to-face. Before the lecture, supplementary lectures are given face-to-face with the premise that students watch the relevant video of the day.

Grading Method Midterm exam (40%) and final exam (60%).
However, there are cases where it is not possible to conduct the midterm exam due to the number of students taking the course. In that case, I plan to give grade based only on the final exam (100%).
