Amidst real life-and-death situations, McGarry follows a dedicated team of charismatic, young doctors-in-training as they wrestle openly with both their ideals and with the realities of saving lives in a complex and overburdened system. Their training ground and source of inspiration is "C-Booth," Los Angeles County Hospital's legendary trauma bay, the birthplace of emergency medicine, where “more people have died and more people have been saved than in any other square footage in the United States.” CODE BLACK offers a tense, doctor's-eye view, right into the heart of the healthcare debate—bringing us face to face with America's only 24/7 safety net. Merit goods... Info failure... Regulator capture... Scarcity... Efficiency... Government intervention... It's all in this movie! Looking for a quick activity to help test revision of some of the key economic terms needed for the up-coming exams? Here's a nice little test of knowledge that can either be used as an in-class activity or for individual students to use to test their own revision. Called 'The Usual Suspects', students are given one minute to identify the definitions of as many key phrases from the micro and macro curriculum as they can. Each phrase is shown alongside 4 possible definitions (from the wider pool). Students must identify which is the correct answer. If an incorrect answer is given, the student has to click to remove a 'bar' to allow them to continue with the test. 60 key phrases are included with each of the two resources below, so the activity can be run several times. Who can get the highest score in one minute!

After marking a recent set of mock exams, I was concerned that students were generally all making the same mistakes- and these are mistakes that I've seen consistently with many different students. Hence this video - trying to really highlight to students things they should NOT do in their real exam in a few weeks' time. All the answers included here are from a recent mock paper in a UK Economics class, and the questions are from the June 2013 exam paper. With less than 30 school days left before the exams start it’s worth making sure that the revision you are doing is going to be effective and you get the results you want. The annoying thing with memory is that you forget stuff when there is no attempt to retain it.
Before you start... The question we most often get asked is how much revision should I be doing? Our research has shown that if you want to achieve the top grades you should be aiming for 20-25 hours per week, in addition to your lessons. We know it sounds a lot, but if you break it down over the week it might look like this: Read More |
