Pickford Hall, Dean s Office. The student will be able to understand economic concepts and their application to current economic issues. The student will be able to gain knowledge of economic analysis, price determination, distribution and exchange, operations of free markets, role of the government, business cycles, fiscal and monetary policies, money and banking, economic growth, international trade, and comparative economic systems. The purpose of the above is to both explain and supplement the basic text and should not be considered as a substitute for careful reading of the assigned text.
Attendance is absolutely essential for the learning of the material.
Attendance will be recorded daily. The attendance policy stated in the university catalog will be followed. After the student accumulates 5 hours of unexcused absences, each unexcused absence will result in point deducted from the student s final average. If the student believes an absence is excused, due to such factors as illness or emergency, the student should write an explanation for the absence and give to the instructor. The instructor will determine whether an absence is excused and return a copy of the explanation the next class period.
