Support for EC302 Political Economy at LSE
Our tutoring for EC302 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through theoretical models, data-based evidence, essays and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.
Students often struggle with:
- understanding the relationship between political institutions and incentives and voting and redistribution across competing theories and interpretations
- using political agency to interpret democracy and autocracy and build evidence-based essays or seminar arguments
- balancing formal analysis, empirical evidence and critical evaluation under assessment conditions
- building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
Our tutors can help by:
- Clarifying the main theories and debates linking political institutions and incentives with voting and redistribution
- Using political agency to interpret models, cases and empirical evidence
- Planning essays that apply democracy and autocracy analytically rather than descriptively
- Improving structure, precision and critical evaluation in assessed writing
- Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of EC302 that feel unclear
