Remind me of the module code... It's an economics module right? EC4408 maybe? Eoin Reeves?
If the above is correct then I take it you are not a business student. What economics modules have you taken before (titles & code)?

It should be a good module for you then.

I took the module last year (as a part of the economics and finance major for the business programme).

It mainly looks at welfare theory and economic efficiency (Economics of government intervention in modern economies, taxation policy and how it effects the workforce, consumer and producer behavior, etc...)

I found the module generally interesting. You'll have to love the term pareto efficiency and like drawing indifference curves by the end of the module.
