Hi All,
Big news in the Economics department - I'm moving from using a blog to using a moodle. If that means nothing to you, don't worry - it's all pretty self-explanatory. It means that there will be a secure site for you to upload work, find worksheets and resources and catch up on material.
Register on:

You will need a key to be able to register on the course, which is ecp
Look forward to seeing you there!
