This course is designed to give you foundation micro-economic principles for subsequent courses like Sales, Marketing, Business Management, and Farm Management. It should also empower you as a more knowledgeable and discerning voter in our representative democracy form of government, where we vote directly on a few issues like school levies, but mostly we leave the business of taxes, spending, regulations, and special programs to elected officials.
Informed voters are the key to a healthy democracy.
There will be three announced 100-point exams covering the material in Mastriana and Hailstones. There will be a 100-point final exam. Missed exams will be all essay makeups. Only serious reasons for missing an exam will result in a makeup, such as medical absence with a doctor's note, death of relative or close friend, auto accident on the way to school, etc. You must contact the instructor if you miss an exam and have a valid reason for requesting a makeup.
