The best way to learn is to teach economics to someone else. Your first assignment is to take your teammate to lunch and develop study plans. Four problems sets are to be completed by teams for a common grade. Problem sets must have the signature of all team members, signifying that the other team members have done their part. Problem sets turned in after the hour of class on the day they are due will get a lower score.
Collaboration is formalized in the assignment of teams.
Tests Students must demonstrate proficiency in solving problems. Students should work not only to understand them but to do them with reasonable speed. Because the tests emphasize problem solving, students should plan to work problems before each class meeting so as to keep pace. The best preparation for each test will then be a good night's sleep. There will be three tests during the semester at the dates shown below and a final examination.
