Teaching Them a Lesson at Ipswich: Reflections

Bruce Littleboy

Economic Analysis and Policy, 2003, vol. 33, issue 1, 118-125

Abstract: Economics is a component of several programs offered at the new Ipswich campus of the University of Queensland. Class sizes are large by Ipswich standards (up to 360). The courses (with the same code) are also taught at the principal St Lucia campus. What "new" methods were tried at Ipswich, what motivated trying these methods, were they viable, and could they be transferred to St Lucia campus where student numbers are higher (about 1000)? Experiences of one teacher with a customised course designed for new degree programs at a new campus could yield at least some insights of interest to practising teachers in other settings.
