I would tell business and economics students to come up with mnemonics as there is so much content to memorise such as statistics and case studies. Make it inappropriate even if you have to. At the same time, ask a lot of questions in class. This will improve your understanding, which is greater than ROTE learning. If you memorise, one missing link between the cause and effect will be the end of you. However, understanding will naturally form links between cause and effect because logic will fill in the gaps for you. Really take the given cloze passage and worksheets and use them for your study notes!!! They are really valuable because they contain the cause and effect + statistics + trends!

Mr Bourke is a very good business and economic teacher with a wealth of knowledge. He lets us know what topic we are going through each lesson, engage the class in class discussions and makes lessons very funny sometimes. I appreciate Mr Bourke for reviewing my essays and short-answers. They are extremely helpful for me to achieve such high marks. Economics was seen as a boring subject, but when you are in Mr Bourke's class, the whole class becomes excited. I am thankful to have Mr Bourke.
