Peer Lecture on Cryptocurrency as a Collaboration between Digital Society and Economics

 Today we had a very memorable collaboration class with Digital Society and Economics students. Through this class we have discovered that these two subjects are more similar than we expected! Both of these subjects are part of ‘social science’ subjects, which focus on understanding the complexity of our society, analyzing general economic growth and basically drills into the concept of ‘social impacts’. 


As students of these subjects, we often get inspired to explore real world problems as well like unemployment, poverty, fraud and inflation. We, as ITGS students, conducted a very interesting lecture on cryptocurrency, what it is all about, as well as its impacts on our society today. With that, we went further into blockchain, cryptocurrency exchange, types of crypto coins and all about NFTs.

We also made sure to include a real-life situation, in which the usage of cryptocurrency went wrong and how that can be prevented. One that instantly caught our eye was the case of Sam Bankman's attempt to commit fraud through the use of cryptocurrency.


 

To make it more interactive Q& As were conducted as well as feedback was given to us. The goal of this was to make our fellow peers more aware of what is going on in the digital world and how we should be very careful with where we choose to invest our money. This gave all of us the opportunity to learn something new from the economics students as well as share our own unique knowledge.


 

Thankfully, all of our classmates enjoyed our presentation and we got a lot of positive feedback!

This will be the first semester final in DP 1 so it will definitely be a new experience for the students of Year 11. This examination is not to be taken lightly, it is crucial for our university applications. Thankfully there are ways to increase our chances of scoring successfully. Revision: This is a pretty straightforward and obvious response, but it is the most effective. This exam will cover 3 months worth of information and there is no way anyone remembered all that. It should be a priority to go over the topics from each subject.  Revision can be done in many different ways, the most effective approach instead of just reading old notes and cramming all that, take new notes. This time we won't have the rush of following the lecture and taking notes. This way we can take important notes and know what to focus on.  Past Papers: As we were info...
