Bridge Course

Bridge Course in Elementary Arithmetics for B A Economics Semester VI
Objective and Rationale
This Bridge Course is conducted in the beginning of Semester VI, to bridge the gap between the abilities to do arithmetic operations of the students and the minimum requirements of those abilities to study the paper on Elementary Quantitative Techniques in Economics. Students enrolled in B. A. Economics Program do not study any paper on Elementary Arithmetics or Statistics during the five semesters of their B A Economics Program. Students have to seriously brush up the elementary quantitative skills acquired during their secondary school education till 10th or 12 the class. Students have very limited knowledge of use of calculators.
This Bridge Course therefore is designed to provide them with the following skills:
1. Calculation of simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for positive and negative numbers.

4. Concepts of variables, attributes, dependent and independent variables
Bridge Course is conducted for 12 lectures in the beginning of the Semester VI. Apart from lectures, students are given home work assignments after every lecture. Home work is checked in the next lecture, so as to get an idea of the level of quantitative skills acquired by students.
