Support for ECON3171 Development Economics at Durham
Our tutoring for ECON3171 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, essays, data-based tasks 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 main concepts without losing sight of the bigger picture
- applying the theory to problem sets, essays, data-based tasks and exam preparation
- 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:
- Rebuilding the intuition behind the models
- Working through diagrams, algebra and problem sets
- Linking theory to policy or business applications
- Practising clear exam answers under time pressure
- Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of ECON3171 that feel unclear
