ACBE100: Academic Communication in Business and Economics
What do lecturers in business and economics expect of their students? What is critical reading? What type of texts are students of economics and business expected to write and how can they write them? All these questions are discussed in this unit. The unit assists students to develop critical and analytical skills in reading, writing and discussing issues in business and economics. Issues and readings drawn from ECON111 Microeconomic Principles are used to develop students' ability to read critically; develop and organise an argument; refer appropriately to the work of experts in the field; write a range of well structured texts; and collaborate with others. The unit is strongly recommended for students who have obtained a Band 4 or less in HSC English (or equivalent) or less than a 7 in IELTS (or the equivalent).
