The second course is Macroeconomics that applies to the economy as a whole. We place particular emphasis on the study of national income and price determination. The course develops students' familiarity with economic performance measures, economic growth, and international economics. Since this is an AP course, which could possibly allow a student to achieve six college units, we cannot tolerate any type of disturbances and inappropriate behaviors. I expect class preparation and participation.
Attendance is absolutely necessary.
Students are responsible for all assignments, deadlines, announcements, etc. presented in class, as well as for all material included in the reading, lectures, class discussions, exercises, and videotapes. You are expected to read all assignments carefully before class and to be prepared to discuss them. Some material will seem very straightforward, but economic principles are often deceptively complex. There is often a difference between simply reading and fully understanding the material. Make-up quizzes and exams will be given only for legitimate reasons, and when the instructor is notified prior to the exam.
