As a non-eco student who did some reading for fun, yes, eco is one of those subjects that isn't heavily reliant on a teacher to effectively learn it. also my dad can attest to it (phd in the field)

Yes, you absolutely can “self-learn” it. But it does help to get tips from people who’ve done well, have a read of their responses etc. Personally, I was fortunate to have a really proactive teacher and extremely determined friends. Share essay plans, discuss ideas.

You could get a few lessons, or approach private tutors for essay feedback - i asked top eco students from the grade above. Worked well for me! Happy to assist when the time comes if needed.

Honestly from someone with a teacher who doesn't teach effectively despite him having a lot of knowledge (past HSC marker), it's possible to self-learn all you really need are essays + notes but you NEED to make sure you keep up to date with them bc I made the mistake of not staying consistent. Apparently a lot of teachers don't teach econ well so there are others in the same boat
