Industrial and Firm Economics (2 º Sem 2017/2018)

The best way to study is to understand very well the lecture notes.

The slides made available cover only part of the lecture notes.

Besides, they've not been updated and thus should always be checked against the lecture notes (which is what counts).

Just after the Wednesday class or by appointment.

a) Regular phase - two tests:

- The first test is about the first part of the course. 

- The second test is about the remaining part of the course. 

Final mark = weighted average of the marks of the two tests.

The weight of each test is equal to the proportion of lectures assessed by it.

Note: students who fail in this regular phase, but get positive (more than 9.5/20) in one of the two tests, in the recourse phase may - if they wish - only do about the part in which they failed.

Their overall mark will then be the weighted average between that positive mark in the regular pahse and the mark in the recourse phase.

b) Recourse phase - one exam about all lectures at the end of June/beg. of July for the students who:

- Fail in the regular phase (< 10, in a 0-20 scale).

- Pass in the regular phase, but want to try to improve their mark

If you're interested, you should form a group with one of your classmates.

Then, email the tutor to apppoint individual sessions. The tutor's name is João and his email is:  joaomurteira@netcabo.pt.

Besides, email me ( pleao@iseg.ulisboa.pt) telling the group you've formed.

Each group of two students is entitled to 5 hours of individual sessions for the 1st test and another 5 hours for the 2nd test.  

In this course, you are entitled to some hours of lessons in groups of two with a tutor.

The number of hours available is however limited. For this reson, in the first lecture of the course you should tell me wheter you are interested.

1st test:  Saturday March 24, 11h30-14h (instead of  the oficial date Ap 13).

2nd test: Friday May 25, 14h30-17h (instead of the oficial date June 15).

The reason: the official dates are in the middle of may other tests, making it difficult for you to concentrate properly on the course.

In the first lecture of the course, please tell me whether the suggested dates are OK . I will then fix the definitive dates.
