[BTT] Tests and things

Econ tests s's's's'suck! Especially when all through the term they havebeen

showing a lot of powerpoint stuff without explaining anything and then the

test follows with some silly problems or silly questions, or maybe it'sjustme who had such an impression. Anyways I got a pass-by on it, so Ishouldn't

complain. :)
