Dear colleagues,
An international survey is being undertaken into students' perceptions of
economics. It is being conducted by Andrew Mearman (UWE, Bristol) and Tim
Wakeley (Griffith University, Australia) as part of the mini- project
funded by Economics Network. The major goal of the survey is to ascertain
students' perception of the economics discipline and to identify factors
which influence those perceptions. We believe the results may be highly
useful in informing strategies in curriculum design aimed at improving
recruitment, retention and overall satisfaction with economics.
We seek the co-operation of economists in alerting students to this survey
and encouraging students to take part. The survey will cover mainly UK, US
and Australian students, however it is open to students in other countries.
We are interested in the views of any students about to complete or who
have recently completed any economics or economics-based (including
business and finance) modules. Please encourage any eligible students to
complete the survey. All students taking part will have the option to enter
a prize draw to win an iPod.
The survey can be completed online until 30.08.07. Students wishing to
complete the survey should go to

Regards
Inna
