Support for ECON1021 Economic Methods at Durham
Our tutoring for ECON1021 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions, 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 main concepts without losing sight of the bigger picture
- applying the theory to problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions
- knowing how much detail is expected in assessed answers
- building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
Our tutors can help by:
- Reviewing the statistical intuition behind the methods
- Working through problem sets step by step
- Interpreting data output and empirical results
- Building confidence with exam-style questions
- Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of ECON1021 that feel unclear
