I failed my first report because the writer wrote an essay that fails (spectacularly!) to demonstrate learning in the course. With very little economics there, while the class kept talking about economic theory. So if you need anything like my class powerpoints, please contact me so that I can send you my class materials. Please be reminded that this is an Economic essay, not a law essay.
