1.
Outline
This lesson is designed as the fundamental lesson for the study of finance and regional public finance. Topics that cover the knowledge and deeper thinking issues of a university student need to be aware of, such as ‘What is finance’ and ‘In modern society, what is the ideal public financial system’. With the development of the internationalism, and the age problem, it is time for people to reconsider the role of the government and the public service, which is also the main focus of this lesson.
In this course, students will study about DP1 and DP2.
2.
Objectives
The students are expected to be able to understand the importance of public finance, and carry out their research with the consideration of public finance. For example, the students may need to conduct their analyse or research towards local authority problems, as if they were in the position as the local citizens, while looking for their own solutions. All the research will be required to be presented in writing at a university academic standard. Problem solving capability is also a must.
